Something weird is happening in my game. My soldiers have started completing missions successfully, sometimes without dying even. It's crazy!

The two survivors from that last terror mission went on to form the foundation of a new squad. After that there were two relatively easy missions in a row during which I was able to earn a variety of new promotions without losing anyone. I've also equipped my entire squad with new plasma weapons and sturdier armor. I even have a couple up and coming psionically gifted soldiers working to hone their new powers. And shiny new firestorms stationed in every continent, ready to intercept any ufos that enter the atmosphere.

I'm beginning to think we're going to win this war after all.
