I have -shamelessly- abused the 'no artifical timer' cheat mod. Shamelessly.

As for the xpac, I may wait to get it depending on how they handle some of the new mechanics. If you're -forced- to lose a soldier every now and then, with no recourse, no skill able to resist it I may never purchase it. If it's something strategy or strong will can resist, that's something else again.
