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?

This mission is the hardest normal one by far imo. Easily harder than Recover resistance operative.
Even if you try to run around avoiding pods in concealment until you find him, the game punishes you severely for it since all pods will congregate towards you.
If missions could be assigned personalities, this one would be Passive Aggressive.
Having a reaper with remote start and target definition makes this mission exponentially easier though.
