Open areas- Get a handle on the blue movement and acid range of Thin Men, move accordingly.
Urban fighting - Treat almost like sectoids. Explosives, flashbangs, suppression, and shotguns.
Note that opportunist overwatch is almost a hard counter to Thin Men for a very long time once you start rolling it out.
Pretty much. I played a LOT of the EU2012 version of Long War, it is substantially less interesting than the Enemy Within version. It is also a huge pain in the ass to get running as you have to manually backpatch EU2012 then install the mod and prevent steam from updating the game.

The aliens will get some resources back that they "spent" on the UFO, I believe. But whatever mission it was on has failed. So if it was a Research mission, you're coming out ahead.A few weeks later and my roster is looking veeery thin because of a bad sequence of missions and wounds. Just cleared an August terror mission with one minor wound, but I have six troops available right now for a shot-down fighter, and I'm considering ignoring it to make sure I'm ready for any bigger priorities. Like Deluge, which is probably right around the corner.
Are there consequences for letting a downed UFO expire?

You probably don't want to fight Cyberdisks with purely ballistic weapons. So, May-ish.About at what time should i have lasers researched in Long War? I tried to rush lasers but it didn't work out out so good since i was missing weapon fragments and it took longer than i thought. And how long does it take for a laser rifle to be built? I beat classic Ironman on vanilla but Long War is something else!

The more important laser thing, though, is the Laser Cannon. Your interceptors want this, badly.
So, the second mission of Slingshot popped up... Do I remember it right that Confounding Light can be completed without killing all aliens? All you need is to get a unit to a specific square, which may or may not be full of Mutons?
Because I'm thinking of blitzing it, since I know full well that my A-team has to be ready to go in 12 hours after Confounding Light for the main event... My Concealment Scout might have to do a runner. Or one of the SHIVs, if they can complete it.
I decided I can only play this mod with the Cinematic Mode on.
Am I too weak? Should I be ashamed of myself?

I'm definitely going to try a Long War run one more time before the next one comes out. I got so close before but could never seal the deal.
OH SHIT SON (What's the current state of the game? Heard that the latest patch was a bit on the shit side in terms of stability and stuff).
Huh, thought the Long War devs were planning on making their own commercial game instead of making more mods.
Unless, that is, they've been hired to make an expansion for XCOM 2 as their first commercial product.

Wouldn't be suprised at all if turned out to be a paid mod. And wouldn't mind it either.

@SFBooker It'll be a free mod on PC. We haven't announced further plans beyond that.
Basically, in July (don't know how long that is for Long war), should I restart and reevaluate priorities towards more air game?
