and rage quit once stuff goes a bit wrong from the only thing that protects them ... Freakin Africa, bring nothing to the table and wander why I leave them to their fate... Can't remember who exactly left there but it was the only one who did.

I think it´s because sattelites give them the feeling of being protected.

And the fact you can only reduce panic in 1 of 3 countries for abductions and raise by 2 in both others.

Firaxis, you screwed up there.

=Revive=

I pulled down the demo game to mess about with it. Unfortunately, steam went berserk and I couldn't get the full.

Also, on my second mission, Fenway and Vinyl both got it in the face. Fenway, as a Heavy, survived, but Vinyl, as a sniper, exploded.
Tiel avenged this with a perfect 15% shot into a Thin Man's face. Critical for 10 damage.
Oh, and Ivan missed every shot he took (5) except one. He did 2 damage.

One caught an unexpected TM on overwatch and died horribly.
The other was Sectoid'd. I still don't know how a Sectoid did 10 crit damage.
