	* Ambush troop column: ~~These missions are~~ the ~~only way to actively~~ reduce ~~ADVENT~~ strength ~~in a~~ region.		* Ambush troop column: Ambush a small ADVENT troop column and clear the area of hostiles, Succeeding this will reduce the region's strength by 1. Can only be detected if the region is at least of strength 4.
	* Supply convoy ambush: ~~Alloys you to~~ destroy ADVENT troops ~~about to reinforce a region,~~ this ~~prevents ADVENT~~ strength from ~~increasing~~.		* Supply convoy ambush: Disrupt Advent supply transports and destroy ADVENT troops. Succeeding this will prevent strength from being transported into the region but greatly increase vigilance.
	* Invasion		* Invasion: Advent attempts to re-establish their psionic network in the region and launches a full scale attack against the resistance. You must clear the area of hostiles and rescue any resistance leaders while also defending against continuous reinforcements until the emitter is destroyed.
	* Rendezvous		* Rendezvous: Disrupt an ADVENT rendezvous with the faceless spy. The assigned soldier advisor along with up to 5 resistance leaders joins to remove the spy while also eliminating their contacts.
	* Regional HQ assault		* Regional HQ assault: Assault the regional HQ to remove the General in the region and reclaim the area from the aliens control and removing them from the region. If the General is eliminated all enemies will converge to your location in an attempt to eliminate you. This will also occur if there are less than 8 enemies left in the area.
			* Secure UFO: Secure the landed UFO by eliminating all hostiles in the area. When revealed, a distress beacon is activated and must be stopped. Failure to do so will have reinforcements called in forcing a retreat and the inability to secure the UFO and its resources. Succeeding this will grant 1 avenger power while also preventing the aliens from increasing the global strength level.

	It should be noted that while Smash N Grab missions list Enemy Material as their reward, they no longer allow the collection of corpses from the battlefield. Unlike the five missions listed above, material recovered from Smash N Grabs is not dependent on the state of the battlefield, only on the number of ADVENT Resource Caches successfully retrieved. The Resource Caches can provide Alloys, Elerium, Elerium Cores, or Supplies, but not corpses.

Generating Missions: note detection bonus at start of campaign and force level

	Havens each generate "intel points" from having personnel assigned to intel gathering. These points are applied to undiscovered missions in the region at certain update intervals, currently 4 times a day (every 6 hours). Each mission keeps a pool of collected intel points. The difficulty of discovering a certain type of mission is controlled by two numbers: "required intel" and "discovery chance". A mission cannot be detected until you generate intel equal to the "required intel" value. Once the minimum is reached there is a random chance (1/4 of discovery chance) to discover the mission at every update. The probability is based on the mission's "percent chance" stat, multiplied by the number of intel points collected past the required minimum.

			There is a flat % detection bonus based on the force level and also based on difficulty. Additionally there is a flat % detection bonus for the first 5 days of a campaign to make detecting the first two missions of a campaign less RNG.

	In the table below, a basic level-0 resistance member is defined as one "intel point" per day. A level-1 resistance member is worth 1.5 points, a level-2 is worth 2, and the Avenger scanning is worth 4. A scientist assigned as haven liaison adds an extra 20% bonus to the entire haven. Each faceless reduces overall intel point generation by 3/5/6/7% depending on difficulty (regardless of what job the faceless is doing).
