Under the heading of 'things I've never seen before', there's something that's popped up twice recently, both times on priority missions I'd played half a dozen times previously.
When advancing to encounter an OpFor mech force, on a 3 skull mission it contained three mechs and a light turret, and on a 2 1/2 skull mission it contained two mechs and two standard turrets.
The first time it kinda made sense, as I was supposed to seize and hold a base which I had been warned would be defended by turrets. As I approached I identified four standard turrets around the base, but also one light turret well in advance. The second time it made no sense at all, since the OpFor was advancing to attack me, and the two turrets were quickly left in the rear.
As an aside, the first time was only the second time I had ever seen more than four turrets in a scenario, the other being years ago, one of the earliest times attempting the attack/defend a base in the snow mission. That time the OpFor base was defended by eight assault-level turrets, and the two mechs I sent to take it out barely escaped with their lives.
Just wondering if anyone else had encountered this.
