Aliens crashing the party can work to your advantage though... one time in a Terror Mission, my Assault soldier triggered a Muton Pack, who triggered an Elite Muton pack when they spread out to take cover, who then triggered a pack of Heavy Floaters from a far corner... triggering an off-screen pack of Chrysalis, and to put the icing on the top... the Chrysalis triggered a Sectopod and its drone escorts.
On my first turn. On my first move (I think I was face-palming when the Heavy Floaters appeared).
Never was I so GLAD I had deployed three Heavies. It was basically rocket spam, and is to date, the ONLY Terror Mission I rescued 18/18 Civilians.
Go figure.
