It is easier to observe than it is to explain. If you watch a video by BeagleRush or ChristopherOdd (I find Odd a little bit more fun to watch), you’ll see how it all works.  
This video shows a good battle where things have gone slightly wrong at about 11 minutes and then at 18 minutes is another.

Battle at about 8 minutes is a good one.

I’m sorry, but I am too dense to see the errors.

> You can get XCOM 2 (plus six more games to be announced) for $12 for another 13 days from the [Humble Monthly](https://www.humblebundle.com/monthly). You’ll get a Steam key for XCOM 2 now and the other six games when they’re revealed in about two weeks.

Thanks for this, I’m having a blast!

I’m getting my ass handed to me though, on veteran. I’m savescumming a bit for now…:eek:
