As the name states. No overwatch. At all. From soliders to turrets. Everything else goes,I'm sure a this isn't that hard. But it's a fun challenge even so.

What ? A melee only run was done a few months ago maybe ? This can't be that much different.

I didn't mention difficulty. Only do it without it. You can use EVERYTHING else. Turret flames whatever. Just no OW

sparda4 - throwing down the gauntlet but then not picking it up yourself?

Well i suck. Had to get to NG+ to go ahead and try hard. So i'm kinda afraid. But if you guys want i'll boot up a new captain.

Yeah, this will be strictly easier than the melee-only challenge. The main ways this will be easier: Hydras for ranged damage + spawn suppression, Scouts for single target damage and kiting (probably very crucial on non-trivial difficulties), and *maybe* a single soldier for buffs. I'm thinking a melee captain will be better because I'm not going to be able to stop all Xeno from reaching me, and I'd rather have a shield when they do.
That said, unlike the melee-only challenge, this could be interesting because it could be played on non-Easy difficulty.

Oooh, I missed the comment about flame turrets. Yeah, this could be a fun setup for Flame Tank Engineers. The problem for me there is, I rarely invest the RP in Engineers (other than for Strike/guns) enough in a single play-through to get to Flame Tanks. So I'll have to do a NG+ if I want a Flame tank engineer.

How many turns do you take to finish a level ? I got most of the RQ tree besides a few relics and the berserker tree just before NG+
