please excuse my poor english
I experienced some kind of bug when i started the standard campaign, built the base, then exited to main menu and started the game agaim. When I did this all 9 my soldiers were "a bit" overpowered there was no one with any skill lower than "excellent" and because I tried it couple of times I experienced even case with all soldiers with skills at least "outstanding".
Screenshots of first soldier from the first start of campaign
and from second
