Alright, Im playing Long War. Im no expert at long war, but i do have a pretty good idea when im falling behind. Its early June of first year, and I just got laser weapons. How far behind am I?

Also I recently lost 3 soldiers, an assault Specialist and 2 Corporals on a landed medium UFO, but eeked out a victory with my other soldiers. Big loss, but not irrecoverable, right?

Tbf, I'm not good enough to not restart a mission whenever I lose a soldier. But I have learned it pays well to sell nearly everything (except for the things needed for buying weapons) early on to buy better weapons, as well as Vulture and Wet Works.

I have been holding off on Proving Ground stuff for now, waiting until a region is liberated so I can get an income. Not sure if that'll pay off like I'm hoping tho lol
