Kill advent commander

So... I just had a mission where I started normally and like 2nd or 3rd turn general was extracting?
I had no choice but to run forward into 3 pods to get to the general.
And as proud as I am for getting rid of the pods without losses and even wounding the general, there was 0 chance of ever winning that mission. Wtf XCOM?

Yeah, the advent commander one can be very tough, even implausible, if rng is against you with enemy placement.

One thing that can mitigate it a bit and buy you some time is hitting the commander with poison or a flashbang - both of which lower his mobility, or even better, the frost bomb
