[LW2] nSquad

While planning my Long War 2 campaign I decided I wanted some new squad icons that better fit in with my playstyle. I like to have numbered squads to start and then make teams of veterans with a specific focus, giving them a more unique icon to stand out. With that in mind I made nSquad so anyone else who likes the idea could use it too! Included are generic XCOM squad icons from 1-9, though I am open to adding more should the need arise.

Also included are three (for the moment) more unique icons that link to specific squads I had in mind:

Squad 47 - Samurai
"Without honour there is no victory."

Formed by Ashikaga "Katana" Nori when she became a veteran, the Samurai are an assault squad that prefer stand-up fights to striking from the shadows. As such the squad usually comprises members who fight best out in the open, from grenadiers to those with a more melee-focused combat style.

Squad 101 - Nightwolves
"In and out."

The Nightwolves are a specialist infiltration squad, headed by Jack "Shadow" Hunter. Their modus operandi is to get in, do the job, and get out quietly with a minimum of fuss. In keeping with this, Nightwolves tend to number those with a stealthy focus, and the squad itself is usually one of the smaller in the XCOM force.

Squad 33 - Hard Six
"Sometimes you gotta roll the hard six."

When you absolutely, positively, need the job doing no matter the cost, you send in the Hard Six. Comprised of XCOM's most experienced soldiers, the Hard Six is headed up by Grigory "The Gambler" Sokolov. Any soldier can join the Hard Six as long as they prove themselves among the elite and are willing to follow the squad code: "The job gets done."

Squad 42 - Wardens
"Defensor."

Adhering to their latin motto, meaning defender, the Wardens are called into any situation where civilian lives are in danger. They are the first response to alien reprisal attacks and specialise in evacuating any non-combatants from a battlefield and neutralising the threat. The Wardens are led by Robert "Limey" Thompson.
