My new game started very poory earlier - managed to get two rookies promoted to Support, but each of them was killed almost immediately behind hard cover by jammy, jammy sectoids.
This might have been bearable if my first council mission - to defuse a bomb, wasn't scuppered by more Thin Man poisoning, killing one Heavy and leaving my rookie-with-a-medikit bleeding on the floor, as the two other wounded members of the team scarpered to the Skyranger one turn before the bomb went off and left Japan in a state of Panic.
My single new satellite has kept a lid on this situation temporarily, forcing me to split my two interceptors over two continents, but it's already looking grim, just over a month in!
