We sell all their stuff and make nearly a million.

 

post-575-1327543022_thumb.png

With the acquired funds we build a workshop to allow us to expand our manufacturing.

 

post-575-1327543025_thumb.png

Pete is wounded for the next week. He got 2 kills out there today and got his Squaddie stripe.

 

post-575-1327543028_thumb.png

NKF was a beast his first time out. A combination of AC and laser pistol work savaged their asses!

 

post-575-1327543032_thumb.png

SV continues to be a lucky bastard and his accuracy and strength are climbing, he'll probably take over BB's rocket launcher.

 

post-575-1327543036_thumb.png

Jman got 2 stuns and a kill on that disc at the very end. Finally netting him some combat exp.

 

post-575-1327543039_thumb.png

We've got an engineer and a leader in here. Excellent work!

 

post-575-1327543050_thumb.png post-575-1327543053_thumb.png

We get our new troops cloned. Both Silencer and BB have high firing accuracy and strength. They'll go back into heavy weapons ASAP.

 

post-575-1327543057_thumb.png

Our engineers build two new suits of armor for the squad as Silencer and BB got theirs melted by plasma.

 

post-575-1327543060_thumb.png post-575-1327543064_thumb.png

We got another contact!...but it's moving like a bat out of hell and our interceptor can't catch up with it...

 

post-575-1327543067_thumb.png

Our base in Florida is completed, at the start of the next month, we'll move in with troops to garrison it.

 

post-575-1327543071_thumb.png

Very nice, we're still hanging in there. Doing well at Pretoria really helped us out here. We have a positive score and only Australia is unhappy with us.

Space Voyager takes command as a Captain. NKF and Jman are promoted to Sergeant.

I THINK I'VE EARNED IT, TOO! :clapping: Ha, see my bravery - and look at that woos Pete! :P

 

SV continues to be a lucky bastard and his accuracy and strength are climbing, he'll probably take over BB's rocket launcher.

:D Yes, please keep me in the back, serving as a mobile rocket launcher. ;)

 

Great AAR, Jman! And I'm not only saying that because I'm still alive.

Murhpy's law strikes back... Had a good killing streak... hope my clone will outlive the original :D

 

On the funny side - I was that good that I was even too dangerous for my team :clapping:

 

 

Silencer lifts his weapon and drops both aliens in one 3 round burst. He then drops it again.

At least I died showing those aliens who's boss round here :P

Getting that sectoid leader early on was a stroke of brilliant luck.

 

- NKF

 

Extremely. He was knocked out from some AC fire. The psi attacks stopped, then started back up. So I figured out that the unarmed alien running around was the leader and had to wait on the guy with the stun launcher to stop panicking so he could be dropped again. I suppose loosing Silencer and BB due to having that wait was worth it in the end though since I can now start screening for psi. :clapping:

Yeeeeesssss, them two are expendable. https://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b348/SpaceVoyager/Smiley/evil4.gif

 

But take good care of high-ranking personnel. Mhm. Even when they have an occasional Siegfried just waiting to lend a body.

 

Sorry for less than witty remarks but this is fun. :clapping:

Our radar has just IDed a small UFO moving through Europe.

 

post-575-1327616210_thumb.png

We send out both interceptors to hunt it down. It was last reported off the coast of Norway.

 

post-575-1327616214_thumb.png

Our American interceptor diverts to France to expand our coverage of the area.

 

post-575-1327616218_thumb.png

Our Eurasian interceptor flies down the length of Scandinavia while our American is still in route.

 

post-575-1327616222_thumb.png

Couple of hours later, we get a radar contact from our American base!

 

post-575-1327616228_thumb.png

Looks like we missed it, it's now over South America and headed out of radar range at a high rate of speed. Time to recall those interceptors and get them refueling, we've missed out this time.

 

post-575-1327616234_thumb.png

Or maybe we didn't...

 

post-575-1327616238_thumb.png

ALPHA SQUAD. WE'RE SCRAMMBLING! GET YOUR ASSES ON THE TRANSPORT, NOW!

 

post-575-1327616242_thumb.png

Luckily, those bastards don't take off while we're in route. Our craft descends into some Venezuelan guy's field.

We touch down. Jman and SV smoke us up.

 

post-575-1327620774_thumb.png

We deploy our squad. A floater comes into view. NKF shoots him, the floater returns fire. Luckily NKF's armor negates all the damage and he fires again dropping the alien.

 

post-575-1327620778_thumb.png

Strike moves out, he sees an alien next to the farmhouse. NFK fires on it with two snap shots taking it out.

 

post-575-1327620810_thumb.png

As Strike moves out, he hears a door open up behind him...

 

post-575-1327620814_thumb.png

NKF opens up on the door destroying it. Nothing screamed, and we're sure something is there...

 

post-575-1327620819_thumb.png

So Silencer opens up on it too. The body is destroyed in a 3 round burst.

 

post-575-1327620823_thumb.png post-575-1327620843_thumb.png

Strike continues his partol.

 

post-575-1327620828_thumb.png post-575-1327620847_thumb.png

Jman and SV do the same on the other side of the LZ.

 

post-575-1327620851_thumb.png

BB, NKF and Silencer hang back ready to unleash hell on anything that is spotted.

 

post-575-1327620855_thumb.png

Strike continues his sweep and spots the UFO. It's a medium scout, which is the most dangerous type of alien craft to clear depite being so small. He gets uneasy as he's probably the most expendable member of the squad and you know how these things can go...

 

post-575-1327620858_thumb.png

SV and Jman continue to clear their area before we move on the UFO.

 

post-575-1327620862_thumb.png

NKF climbs up through the farmhouse so he can have some elevation in case sniping is required to deal with this.

 

post-575-1327620866_thumb.png

Strike and BB move up on the UFO, using it as cover. Strike has a primed proximity grenade ready to be deployed near the entrance on the other side of the craft.

 

post-575-1327620878_thumb.png

BB draws his pistol since a rocket is not the preferred weapon at this range...

 

post-575-1327620889_thumb.png

Our squad advances closer to the door, using that grenade as insurance that the first thing out that door is toast.

 

post-575-1327620907_thumb.png

NKF reaches the roof and waits in a sniper position.

 

post-575-1327620912_thumb.png

Jman and Strike lay in wait for anything coming out that door..

 

post-575-1327620941_thumb.png

SV pulls out another grenade. We hear them moving in there and we think there's about 4-5 of them still in the craft.

 

post-575-1327620948_thumb.png

BB moves to a postition on the other side of the craft and readies his rocket launcher. We're SO gonna flush them out with this!

 

post-575-1327620953_thumb.png

*BOOM!* Death screams are heard inside. Aliens are starting to panic and run around in terror.

 

post-575-1327620957_thumb.png

An alien runs out and our mine blasts him. He is them followed out by another alien that Jman guns down.

 

post-575-1327620972_thumb.png

Our high explosive solution to this mission has prevented us for recovering a sample of alien fuel, as well as destroying over half of the alien corpses. Seems there were 5 aliens in that saucer and BB got 3 of them with his rocket fire to the side of the hull.

 

post-575-1327620977_thumb.png

NKF is promoted to Captain. Silencer, Strike and Bomb Bloke make Sergeant.

I have a tactic that may work on the next medium scout. Surround the door, then next turn have someone closest to the door open it, and then shoot the ones we can, safely, then end turn, Rinse and repeat as ofter as needed. Just a suggestion to try, instead of hitting the side with a rocket.

We load all our crap into the interceptor and haul ass back to base.

 

post-575-1327632633_thumb.png

Looks like we got ourselves 4 passible heavy weapons troops.

 

post-575-1327632637_thumb.png

Our armaments arrive in Florida, now to just wait a few more days on the troops.

 

post-575-1327632640_thumb.png

And we manage to finally research the plasma pistol!

 

post-575-1327632643_thumb.png

Our troops arrive to garrison AmeriCom.

 

post-575-1327632646_thumb.png

UFO Detected!

 

post-575-1327632650_thumb.png

Die!

 

post-575-1327632654_thumb.png

And we get the clip researched. Now we can upgrade some of out laser pistols to these babies!

 

post-575-1327632657_thumb.png

First off, we're going to torture this engineer for info. See what he knows. Then, we'll do the same to the leader.

 

post-575-1327632661_thumb.png

We load up 3 of the plasma pistols and will issue them to anyone that isn't carrying a heavy weapon.

 

post-575-1327632664_thumb.png

Ah, another small! Let's see where she's at.

 

post-575-1327632970_thumb.png

Our American interceptor flies down to shoot it down.

 

post-575-1327632672_thumb.png

The UFO is downed somewhere in Chile. Just outside the range of our Eurasian transport. Do we start moving over some people from Eurasia to America (there's 8 of you total now with only 6 slots on the transport)? Or do we just send in the squad of rookies that just arrived at AmeriCom?

Ok, we're going to move some people over to the American base. NKF, Jma, Bomb Bloke and a Thorondor clone!

 

post-575-1327731346_thumb.png

Everything arrives and we load up the transport and take off for the South American jungles.

 

post-575-1327731351_thumb.png

We land, deploy smoke, and everyone takes cover in the undergrowth. A floater approaches from the craft and opens fire on one of the rookies, killing him.

 

post-575-1327731354_thumb.png

Jman moves up to spot the alien.

 

post-575-1327731358_thumb.png

NKF opens up on the floater with a 3 round burst, killing him.

 

post-575-1327731362_thumb.png

Thorondor spots an alien move up, fire, then retreat!

 

post-575-1327731369_thumb.png

Ahha! There you are. Mr. Bloke, do'em.

 

post-575-1327731377_thumb.png

The flies into some vegetation and explodes!

 

post-575-1327731380_thumb.png

Thorondor has spotted an alien!

 

post-575-1327731383_thumb.png

Jman! Kill him!

 

post-575-1327731387_thumb.png

Looks like another redshit bought it...

 

post-575-1327731391_thumb.png

Along with Thorondor...BB...Fire another one in!

 

post-575-1327731395_thumb.png

NKF moves into the burned out area of jungle to make sure that alien is dead. He spots a body on the ground, but the bastard gets up and runs away like a coward!

 

post-575-1327731398_thumb.png

The alien is dropped in a burst of AC auto fire!

 

post-575-1327731402_thumb.png

Meanwhile on the other side of the LZ, Jman clears around the UFO.

 

post-575-1327731409_thumb.png

NKF is finishing up his sweep. I think we can call it clear.

 

post-575-1327731413_thumb.png

We're hearing movement inside the craft. We lay in wait outside the UFO. Our numbers aren't large enough anymore to attempt storming it.

 

post-575-1327731418_thumb.png

The suspense is killing us...when suddenly!

 

post-575-1327731422_thumb.png

A floater wobbles out and blasts NKF in the chest! He retaliates with his laser pistol, dropping him!

 

post-575-1327731430_thumb.png

NKF is shot up bad, but he takes it like a man because he ain't got time to bleed.

 

post-575-1327731434_thumb.png

*BLAM!* Jman pops the other alien as he staggers out.

 

post-575-1327731440_thumb.png

Overall a good mission. We take out 8 aliens while losing 3 of the worst rookies imaginable.

Now to get 4 new suckers, I mean, recruits on this transport!

 

post-575-1327733241_thumb.png

We sell our catch to some Miami gangbangers for 1.87mill.

 

post-575-1327733244_thumb.png

NKF has been kicking major ass, but he's going to be sitting in sickbay for nearly 3 weeks!

 

post-575-1327733248_thumb.png

Time for a new base. This should be a good enough spot for us to get pretty much anywhere in the globe from 3 bases.

 

post-575-1327733252_thumb.png

We buy an old airfield in New Guinea for $750,000.

 

post-575-1327733259_thumb.png

And name the new base: SEACom.

 

post-575-1327733263_thumb.png

And we give it the usual start of a hangar, large radar and a store.

 

post-575-1327733268_thumb.png

More goodies arrive at the American base.

 

post-575-1327733283_thumb.png

Looks like torturing that little bastard got us some info on one of their craft. This is something we haven't seen before and we hope it never shows up. This is what they use for conducting their experiments on planetary fauna.

 

post-575-1327733313_thumb.png

Hrmmmmm, Psionics...interesting....I wonder if we discect that leader's brain...

 

post-575-1327733321_thumb.png

But first, we're going to learn where these folks are coming from.

 

post-575-1327733326_thumb.png

The general stores are built, and we order a living quarters.

 

post-575-1327733330_thumb.png

Excellent. Seems we have a forward operating base somewhere in our star system. Now we just need to track it down and cut the head off the snake.

 

post-575-1327733334_thumb.png

Time to rough up that leader and find out what the hell is going on.

 

post-575-1327733342_thumb.png

Oooooohhhhhh Yeeeahhh! We're going for the Psi Lab first!

 

post-575-1327733346_thumb.png

Our radar as picked up UFO #8!

 

post-575-1327733353_thumb.png

We launch out fighter from AmeriCom to deal with this incursion into our airspace.

 

post-575-1327733357_thumb.png

The aliens are chased into Canada.

 

post-575-1327733362_thumb.png

Small scout...Beginning to hate these things....

 

post-575-1327733367_thumb.png

NKF still has 2 days left to recover, so we're going to place Jman in command of the attack on the saucer.

 

post-575-1327733371_thumb.png

Wooooooooooooo!!!!

 

post-575-1327733375_thumb.png

We get our armor and another Thorondor delivered to America and get ready for the ground assault.

Our interceptor descends into the Canadian wilderness.

 

post-575-1327807748_thumb.png

We land, one of our guys drops a smoke in the plane, an alien is facing our transport...

 

post-575-1327807752_thumb.png

Thorondor fires....and KILLS!

 

post-575-1327807756_thumb.png

We start to file out of the transport. Sarah sees an alien just past the front of the plane.

 

post-575-1327807760_thumb.png

Thorondor steps out of the craft and blast at the aliening....and DOESN'T DIE!

 

post-575-1327807765_thumb.png

Klaus comes out and we notice the huge hole in the roof of the saucer.

 

post-575-1327807769_thumb.png

Jman follows him out and pulls out his explosives.

 

post-575-1327807773_thumb.png

Ok! Let's do this!

 

post-575-1327807776_thumb.png

0 seconds, this thing is gonna blow on contact with the ground!

 

post-575-1327807780_thumb.png

*Whish*...*BOOM!* Aliens die..

 

post-575-1327807785_thumb.png

Another alien shows up to examine the corpse of his fallen comrade.

 

post-575-1327807801_thumb.png

Sarah caps him with her plasma pistol.

 

post-575-1327807805_thumb.png

Klaus breaches the UFO searching for survivors. Only a single plasma pistol remains..

 

post-575-1327807809_thumb.png

We spot another alien, it then moves back out of sight.

 

post-575-1327807815_thumb.png

Thorondor moves up and spots him again.

 

post-575-1327807819_thumb.png

Paul opens up with his autocannon and kills the alien.

 

post-575-1327807825_thumb.png

Suddenly another alien comes into view! Thorondor reacts instantly and drops the alien! We then finish the sweep of the LZ and call in the salvage crew.

 

post-575-1327807838_thumb.png

6 aliens dead, 0 X-com operatives dead. All in all, a great mission!

 

post-575-1327807842_thumb.png

We've finally had a Thorondor survive a mission. This clone even got 3 kills on his first time out!

 

post-575-1327807847_thumb.png

We sell our stuff for $750k, nice haul that time, guys.

 

post-575-1327807853_thumb.png

Meanwhile at the main base, we hire on 30 more engineers now that we have a larger workshop.

 

post-575-1327807863_thumb.png

Yay....

 

post-575-1327807889_thumb.png

We're gonna have to send in a squad. Since the American squad just saw action...Eurasia, you're up!

Ok, ladies. You sat the last op out. Now it's your turn. The city of Brasilia is under attack by an alien force. Most of the civilians are probably dead, but if you see any humans alive out there, keeping them in that state is your top priority!

 

post-575-1327868319_thumb.png

Our transport lands next to a park in Brasilia. The ramp drops and an alien is spotted.

 

post-575-1327868325_thumb.png

Siegried takes a shot and hits the alien, but he doesn't drop. The floater turns and fires, hitting him. It's only a minor injury, Siegfried was lucky.

 

post-575-1327868330_thumb.png

Another burst drops the alien.

 

post-575-1327868334_thumb.png

Light injury, no fatal wounds.

 

post-575-1327868340_thumb.png

We smoke up and deploy. Siegfriend takes point and spots an alien in the gas station.

 

post-575-1327868345_thumb.png

Pete steps off the ramp and wastes'em!

 

post-575-1327868349_thumb.png

Siegfried turns to his left...ANOTHER ALIEN!

 

post-575-1327868353_thumb.png

Pete dispatches this one as well.

 

post-575-1327868360_thumb.png

We spot yet another one...

 

post-575-1327868364_thumb.png

Sgt Strike draws down on this vermin with his plasma pistol and fires...DEAD!

 

post-575-1327868368_thumb.png

Siegfried takes another step...time to back up, there's nobody that can kill this...

 

post-575-1327868373_thumb.png

Silencer spots one walking up into the kill zone.

 

post-575-1327868448_thumb.png

And promptly kills it!

 

post-575-1327868453_thumb.png post-575-1327868457_thumb.png post-575-1327868462_thumb.png

Siegfried moves back up, and sees the same pair still standing there....Strike fires..miss..Pete fires..miss..Thorondor fires...nada...SV fires a rocket...it hits a gas pump in the middle, but nothing dies..

 

post-575-1327868478_thumb.png

Silencer sees yet another alien walk up.

 

post-575-1327868486_thumb.png

He fires, the alien is knocked to the ground unconcious.

 

post-575-1327868489_thumb.png

Way to go Siegfried! Another alien has been spotted by our point man!

 

post-575-1327868495_thumb.png

Silencer fires 6 shots, all miss!

 

post-575-1327868500_thumb.png

Pete opens up on him and unloads his gun..the fun way!

 

post-575-1327868505_thumb.png

We have spotted another alien that has been missing out on the fun!

 

post-575-1327868509_thumb.png

Silencer pops off 2 rounds, then reloads his weapon.

 

post-575-1327868515_thumb.png

He take another shot. It connects, but the bastard just won't die!

 

post-575-1327868520_thumb.png

SV squeezes the trigger on his rocket launcher. The rocket flies through the air..and hits a tree in the middle of the park. Way to go, squadleader!

 

post-575-1327868538_thumb.png

Strike nails him from across the park with his pistol!

 

post-575-1327868543_thumb.png

Out of ammo, Pete moves back into the transport to get his other clip.

post-575-1327869108_thumb.png

Thorondor proves his ineptitude by missing yet again!

 

post-575-1327869111_thumb.png

Strike however, fails to disapoint, dropping his 3rd alien of the mission!

 

post-575-1327869115_thumb.png

Pete picks up his clip and reloads his AC.

 

post-575-1327869119_thumb.png

We get the squad all back on the ground ready to finish this.

 

post-575-1327869124_thumb.png

And we ID 2 more!

 

post-575-1327869130_thumb.png

Thorondor fires..and misses as usual.

 

post-575-1327869156_thumb.png

Strike however, drops his 4th! Congrats!

 

post-575-1327869160_thumb.png

..and his 5th!

 

post-575-1327869166_thumb.png

Another one over at the gas pumps...

 

post-575-1327869170_thumb.png

Finally!

 

post-575-1327869175_thumb.png

Siegfried takes a knee next to a pole..just in case.

 

post-575-1327869179_thumb.png

We've spotted another one, let's see what we can do about this!

 

post-575-1327869192_thumb.png

Ok, SV, you're aiming for the easy mac, got it?

 

post-575-1327869196_thumb.png

Pete also makes an attempt, and fails miserably.

I guess it's down to Siegfried to show us what he's got!

DEAD!

Excellent work men! Everyone is very happy with our performance this month and we've gotten a $685,000 bonus!
