As a heads-up to everyone, I likely will want your XCOM character bios for anyone that'll be with us to start done by March 1st. That way you'll have at least week or two for Week -1 Intro Posts.

Yeah, as one of the commenters pointed out on that video, XCOM does cheat a little bit behind the scenes to balance things out. Such as increasing your chance to hit after a miss streak and buffing your soldiers if you start to lose them. As far as I know, Legend Difficulty is the only way you can play the game without it trying to do some shenanigans behind the scenes.

Reference Note:

I have named Big Sky and Firebrand.

Big Sky has become the pilot of the Avenger. His name is David Slater.

His daughter, Firebrand, is the pilot of the new Skyranger. Her name is Danielle Slater.

The dynamic pilot duo from Indiana.

Those of you that are done with your bios, be working on your intro posts. Don't be afraid to combine intros between characters if you're having trouble with length or time. My thought process right now is that if the majority of members are finished with their bios and intros I'll initiate the base RP a little early so people can establish some collaborations before Mission Numero Uno happens.

So you guys may have heard of the Advanced Warfare Center in XCOM2. It's a facility that allows soldiers to learn randomized abilities, some from other classes or some unique ones. That'll be in Liberation of Earth with a twist. If you aren't psionic you can benefit from the AWC another time or two.

Ey, does anyone know how Ironman works with XCOM 2's final mission?

I honestly think I stand a chance in Commander Ironman difficulty EXCEPT for that last stinkin' mission. So if it's something like you only get one shot at it, then I think I'll just pass on Ironman mode indefinitely.
I know in XCOM: EW with the base defense mission you can restart it even on Ironman. Is it still like that in XCOM 2? If so, which missions does that apply to?
Because, seriously, that final mission is [a bad time].

You can restart if you fail yes.
