Truth be told, I've never actually won a Long War campaign. When you win at Long War, you earned it, and it's an accomplishment. When you lose at Long War, it's usually something you can learn from. It's a complete overhaul mod of XCOM: Enemy Unknown/Enemy Within, and while it makes things ball-breakingly difficult at times, it scratches an itch for tactical play that no other game has ever managed.
This is a great idea and definitely won't blow up in my face!
Hi! I'm going to be exceptionally stupid and start a campaign of a game that takes about 100 hours to complete and that's before I start worrying about stuff like video, which I've never had to do before. I didn't know what I was doing when I first started the LP! So if you're thinking of watching-I assure you it gets a lot better relative to what the original set of March missions looks like. It gets better, and there are over 200 videos in this damned series by now. Just skip the first 10 or so missions they were recorded with terrible video quality.
