Delightful little situation I just found myself in

The only secondary weapon I had here was a single-use 1 damage + four-direction push air support bomb on my slide mech, which I had already used.

I kind of feel like the Mosquito leader is a little BS? I get that sometimes things don't go well, but web + smoke + kill is one heck of a combination. Changing it to +3 damage instead of kill or dropping the smoke seems like it would be more fair. And, as always, spiders are the worst.

Yeah mosquito leader is single-target surekill. Its balanced with his short range and single target attack. But he can definitelly ruin your mood.
Those egg-spawners are very annoying, I usually try to focus on them first.

And, as much as I hate to say it, sometimes you have such bad luck its almost non-vinnable situation (especially on unfair diff)

Keep on fighting mate! You can do it!

Indeed. The run had been going okay up to that point, although my grid level obviously wasn't ideal. This was just the most egregious instance of being helpless that I can remember having in this game, so I thought I'd take a screenshot and share. All three of my mechs were trapped and useless. The best I could do was take out the digger with a self-damaging slide move with the slide mech, take away two health from the alpha mosquito with my spider mech, and then watch helplessly as my bulk mech was killed and my run was ended. This was on hard; I don't think I'm up for unfair difficulty, except maybe with the most powerful squads (Mist Walkers).
