I have a feeling that I'm going to be restarting my game fairly often in this playthrough. Lowered the difficulty, but went on ironman mode to prevent me from save scumming if a pony I like dies.

Two missions in, and I've already lost one. It was on a "protect the transmitter" mission, in an urban zone.

Rookie Zecora was in high cover when an advent officer took a shot at her. It missed, but set the building around her on fire, such that she couldn't move without catching alight. She hunkered down, hoping it would pass, but the flames closed in and got her. Unfortunately, we had no more medpacks at that point and she didn't make it out.

Squaddie Applejack (ranger) and Braeburn (Grenadier) avenged her by blasting the heck out of the remaining troops. But AJ got hit and will be out of action for a while.


Oof, this is gonna be tough on the old heart.
