Back!
Because I had good squad deployment for mutual support, I quickly take out the Muton and two Sectoids (the "zombies" fall over once their Sectoid masters die). I move my right flank over and save enough civilians to satisfy that mission component... and, again, I can now slow my pace down to control the fight (sure, I might lose more civilians, but I'm gaming the system here, so shut up!)
As if karma wanted to immediately punish me for my selfish decision, a second Beserker, MEC, and Lancer come into view from the edge of the map. I think these are the last of them, but I've once again spread myself out, and any of these enemies can mean trouble.
I was able to chip away at the Berserker and the MEC, but the blasted Lancer danced his way through withering reaction fire to nail Nabil (the Ranger with the awesome Serial ability) and take her out.
It was still a good win, but that loss stings a little.

They say Hitler loved dogs; that doesn't mean I want to travel back in time and discuss the merits of the Border Collie with the guy. He's still an a-hole.
