Hi,

I read this on ufopaedia, but I can't understands what it means and when it applies. Can someone explain it to me ?

"Turns Before 8-Unit Reinforcements on Unlimited Reinforcement Missions : 20 after reveal, 8 after strategic fulfillment .

Thank you

To prevent you from just hanging around killing reinforcements forever, the game will eventually start dropping pods of 8 enemies every turn as reinforcements. This happens 20 turns after you start the mission, or 8 turns after you complete the objective (whichever comes first), but never on missions where your objective is to kill all the enemies.

(Because most timed missions currently have 8-12 turn timers, this isn't something you generally need to care too much about - there are a couple large untimed missions, like The Forge, where it is more relevant.)

Yup, that page is very rough and would definitely benefit from links to pages explaining those mechanisms.
Thanks for pointing it.
