I just picked up the expansion. Started a new game in classic difficulty. Started the first mission, carefully made my approach of the second meld cannister, not rushing into harms way. Sighted 2 sectoids in a shop front. Had 2 operatives establish overwatch from behind heavy cover. Sectoids in their turn do mind-link. Runs out the front door, both my troops take attacks of opportunity. Both miss. Section fires 1 shot, critical hit, instantly kills one of the soldiers behind heavy cover. All 3 of my remaining troops panic and shoot each other leaving me with 1 soldier who can't be controlled anyway, who gets shot on the next alien turn. Party wiped out by end of turn 3
