My lightly modded Classic campaign, took one of those big steps up in difficulty last night as well. The first abduction mission where Mutons appeared. I ran an assault guy forward to finish off a Muton, knowing that one of his friends was near by. I figured I'd have to deal with that Muton on Overwatch or my assault trooper was at risk.
Well it turned out that there were actually five or six Mutons and a few thin men over there. All of it activated at once, and I lost the assault trooper and a guy hiding behind a fork lift on the Alien turn. I'm not sure if the fork lift blew up from a hit that turn, or if I didn't notice a hit the turn before.
My sniper went down the following turn, shot in full cover. I fought a withdrawl back to the Sky Ranger, only to find it....missing? "Those bastards took off without us?" So I re-engaged with the three remaining troopers, and finished the mission off. Everyone beaten and bloodied.
