I'd say Ironman is the baseline, without it you're playing with stabilisers. You'll be fine coming fresh to Normal Ironman, and your soldiers will be goddamn heroes.

It can be absolutely devastating on classic, a cyberdisk totally wiped out one of my squads this way. At the moment I would suggest it's a far better experience to play non-Ironman classic mode and show sone restraint in loading save games. Having your 10+ hour game session ruined by a stupid bug is not worth it.
OK, huddle close. I beat Normal Ironman on Tuesday afternoon, having started on Sunday morning. I know there are bugs, but they are rare, overblown, and (as with all these things) you only hear about the handful of disasters, because nobody stops to talk about the millions of examples of the game working fine.
This is the first game in a decade where I've had to take a proper, gutpunch sickening defeat on the chin. You won't get that if you can just reload. And when you win, if you win, surely it's better to have won because you were the better man, rather than because you could chop and change and erase your mistakes.
Remember when Shadowrun was briefly, tantalisingly going to come back, and you said you would help me plant that tree. This is that.

On the Alien turn after that, every single remaining enemy unit all arrived at the same time, which was a bit inconvenient.
And by the way I had on just last night, cyberdisk spawning right in my guys. I reloaded the save to see where he was hidden, the answer is no where near, he was absolutely miles away in the map. Luckily these spawns seem fixable with a reload (sometimes it takes a couple of reloads).
