Is this like x-com or can we actually invade Peloponesia?

it is similar to x-com in the way that we can enter the alien base, "liberate" it and thus cut off the alien grasp on the country. it is then again eligible to provide us with funds each month.

the country is on the other sider of the planet, though, so we can actually live with letting the aliens have it (unless somebody plans to do a "we will not go quietly into the night" Independance Day speech). we are talking about 200k a month atm which will be difficult to maintain anyhoo due to the range of our raptors. there is yummy experience and cash down that base (once we discover it), yes. but also grim plasma-y death, possibly.

if we decide to tackle it we do need a full squad of experienced soldiers and it is going to be a mid-term goal.

WE WILL NOT GO QUIETLTY INTO THE NIGHT! BROTHERS, FOR HUMANITY! CHARGE!

Anyways, I knew the Heavy Plasmas would suck with the lack of auto-fire. Whom called it?

(Also, I believe I was in every single mission. So how come I only have 18 while Nodikus has 19?)

I've been doing overtime.

I believe you got grazed by a stray shot somewhere before mission 10. check the screenshots if you will

CAFComm: what's the status on our Raider? why isn't it en route to that Stratos crash site?
CMO: sir, we have 50% of our soldiers in med-bay. we can only muster a contact team of 6 and that is including an untested rookie.
CAFComm: do I look like I care? we launch. bad enough we abandon half the planet without putting up a fight. we sure as heck ain't gonna let any bug that survives a crash run around on this continent. not on my watch. launch the frakking Raider!

Hmm, for DualStrike, fit him with dual pistols (anything) and bunch of grenades

. Goal is to react and do as many actions as possible while keeping himself well covered.

I believe we should take out the alien base when we can, but we need to be at full strength and well prepared.

EDIT: I also believe we need a Mrs. Kitty for morale, Mr. Puppy is looks lonely when everyone it out on a mission and he isn't allowed into the med bay.

never really used the flamethrower. sure as hell going to produce one now, seeing as I started to like the rocket launcher as well. must be used in close range (obviously) so we'll stick it on a tank or on gradsh and it will be used as a backup-weapon if somebody wants it.

new rocket!

Excellent work from both our ground team and the scientists!

I like how the conference table was destroyed by the UFO crash, but the swivel chairs around it didn't budge.

Omega124 · Oct 10, 2010

I so want a flamethrower as my back-up.

The aliens try a different approach and send a small swarm of smaller crafts...

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

they make a nice crash-site pattern outside of our base in Medie.

CAFComm has promised a kitten if we bring back another alien commander so off we go though we will most likely not see one aboard these small crafts.
