Re: Avenger Defence Mission

I skipped almost two months worth of missions to make sure I had my highest trained squad available for the defence, but the beacon is five turns away and is in a straight line ahead of my troops on a hill. So I can't even get a cheeky shinobi flank on it or I get in detection radius of all the pod...

Re: Avenger Defence Mission

He didn't say beeline resistance radios, he said beeline liberation missions. They are different things. Liberation missions are a quest chain of missions you get by scanning/putting rebels on intel in a region and successfully completing them. They get more difficult until the final mission, but t...

Re: Avenger Defence Mission

Have you bee-lined the liberation quests to liberate a region? The final mission in a region provides corpses/wrecks and there are usually a few Drones and Turrets there.

Re: Avenger Defence Mission

Plus building the turret structure is RNG based, 'cause I haven't even gotten to SEE turrets let alone bring any turret wrecks back to base with how many missions are Evac only. Heck, I haven't even gotten a third DRONE yet to research those! Have you bee-lined the liberation quests to liberate a r...

Re: Avenger Defence Mission

Overwatch humping is impossible depending on the enemies that spawn. I got 5 MEC Archers, about the same amount of Vipers, a few rocketeers, a berserker, and a shieldbearer (those are just the enemies of note, let alone the captains and sentries that also spawned in the 5 starting pods) so I can't o...
