Yay, I made Sergeant! The advantage of a high casualty rate is that there's plenty of promotion opportunities :D

And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts
And I looked and behold, a pale horse
And his name that sat on it was Death
And Hell followed with Him

Hey Ho let's go! thought the god damn Viewing panel in Photobucket FAILS ME fo some sick reason, since I can't select next screenshots. Anyone with Photobucket account has the same problem?

dosbox2010-04-0920-32-26-07.png

In previous update I forget to mention about placing Workshop and another Living Quarters in US fuckn A base, so we could get MOAR income.

dosbox2010-04-0920-33-34-18.png

Brave soldiers from US fuckin A are going for Small UFO recover :salute:

dosbox2010-04-0920-35-06-34.png

Our sweet landing zone in Forest area.

dosbox2010-04-0920-35-35-01.png

Spectacle fires Aimed shot at first spotted Floater and misses. Damn you!

dosbox2010-04-0920-35-50-18.png

Floater of course didn't miss at all THREE TIMES.

dosbox2010-04-0920-35-55-35.png

Spectacle, have a loads of luck!

dosbox2010-04-0920-36-09-85.png

This time Spectacle does it right :salute:

dosbox2010-04-0920-37-02-85.png

Toxic Avenger spots another one and all his shots miss Floater.

dosbox2010-04-0920-38-51-98.png

Thrombone and Toxic also didn't even scratch fookin Alien. Get a grip, soldiers!

dosbox2010-04-0920-40-49-43.png

During Alien turn nothing happen, good for you apes! Trash third shoot didn't kill target but another Floater standing close. It seems we interrupted some hot Floater butt-sex in da forest!

dosbox2010-04-0920-41-16-10.png

Toxic Avenger took care of unfinished business :salute:

dosbox2010-04-0920-42-10-71.png

Time for scouting & assaulting.

dosbox2010-04-0920-43-40-73.png

Hm it seems no one is home, but we wait one turn to get in and clean up this place.

dosbox2010-04-0920-44-06-79.png

Cassidy spots & misses an Floater.

dosbox2010-04-0920-44-14-01.png

Like we all know from Discovery Channel, Floater did not :salute:

dosbox2010-04-0920-44-27-96.png

dosbox2010-04-0920-44-36-57.png

This will teach you a lesson.

dosbox2010-04-0920-45-32-54.png

Andyman is ready for some action.

dosbox2010-04-0920-46-16-14.png

Nothing happens during Aliens turn. Toxic Avenger spots Floater on the UFO roof.

dosbox2010-04-0920-46-31-35.png

In a the most epic way ever, almost all 9 shots end up hitting UFO edge.

dosbox2010-04-0920-48-05-85.png

Haba yet delivers :salute:

dosbox2010-04-0920-49-14-81.png

Time to re-check area where Cassidy fall...

dosbox2010-04-0920-49-22-48.png

Aliens turn. Spectacle dies from sneak attack :salute:

dosbox2010-04-0920-49-28-85.png

Thrombone exchanges some non-lethal fire with the Floater.

dosbox2010-04-0920-49-43-32.png

Our turn and Thrombone this time kills him.

dosbox2010-04-0920-50-27-20.png

Andymen kills Spectacle murderer :salute:

dosbox2010-04-0920-51-20-50.png

End of turn, Thrombone is ready to kill anything that shows up in his field of vision.

dosbox2010-04-0920-51-56-62.png

Nothing happened during Aliens turn. During the search for the remaining Floaters, Toxic Avenger gets killed by some Floater hiding by UFO exterior :salute:

dosbox2010-04-0920-53-37-53.png

It seems UFO is cleared out. Pliskin is trying to take the Alien from behind.
dosbox2010-04-0920-54-46-93.png

dosbox2010-04-0920-54-57-04.png

Another turn. Andyman Messiah finds last Floater and annihilates him :salute:

dosbox2010-04-0920-55-17-42.png

dosbox2010-04-0920-55-23-89.png

:salute:

dosbox2010-04-0920-56-19-54.png

Large UFO in the sight...

dosbox2010-04-0920-56-52-35.png

Please no...

dosbox2010-04-0920-56-58-95.png

dosbox2010-04-0920-58-39-10.png

Okey, what I suppose to do now? Skyranger-2 from US fuckin A is on the way to Base and can't be send to Terror Mission. In Codexia ONLY Overweight Manatee is available, and we won't get any reinforcements before end of Terror Mission. What I should do now, send him and one Lazor Tank for Terror Mission or ignore it? You decide...

Simple: send cpt. Overweight Manatee to Novosibirsk, then take off immediately - better than skipping TM entirely AFAIK.

I suggest deploying, and then immediately retreating, you will get less penalties than if you let it pass...

Deploy, try to kill as many bugs as you can with the laser tank while Manatee is camping the back of the skyranger. Fly away when the tank is destroyed.
It's not worth it to risk losing the skyranger just to maybe save a few Russians.

do this if there aren't any MC aliens. Though it would probably be best to retreat as soon as the tank starts to take damage.

George is dead? God fucking damn it, my only friend in this god-forsaken crew is alien food.

Oh well... I guess so long as I'm here there's still a chance of vile Silellak getting slain by friendly fire.

Lock and load.

Okey, let's do it!

dosbox2010-04-1221-37-21-01.png

This is starting equipment of Overweight Manatee, since I couldn't reduce any of this stuff.

dosbox2010-04-1221-40-55-85.png

Snakemen! Lazor Tank hits once him, Snake responds with hot plasma.

dosbox2010-04-1221-41-08-10.png

Next two shots take care of him :smug:

dosbox2010-04-1221-42-20-93.png

During Aliens turn there are several explosions, this one killed Civilian and an Alien.

dosbox2010-04-1221-43-21-17.png

Meanwhile...

dosbox2010-04-1221-43-36-85.png

Another excellent death to Alien scum by Lazor Tank :smug:

dosbox2010-04-1221-43-43-65.png

Damn, there was other Snakemen behind. Lazor Tank gets hurt and misses two shots.

dosbox2010-04-1221-44-00-56.png

Aliens turn and another Snakemen comes to send some free plasma bolts towards us.

dosbox2010-04-1221-45-58-15.png

Time to die.

dosbox2010-04-1221-46-29-67.png

dosbox2010-04-1221-46-38-00.png

Oh boy.

dosbox2010-04-1221-49-29-28.png

One Chryssalid was taken down by Lazor Tank.

dosbox2010-04-1221-52-02-79.png

Aliens turn. What a cluster fuck, eh? they are coming from all sides.

dosbox2010-04-1221-52-13-29.png

One Chryssalid retreats to Fuel Station.

dosbox2010-04-1221-52-22-76.png

Oh fuck.

dosbox2010-04-1221-52-28-59.png

Hm it seems this close one run out of TU and the rest runs around, good for us.

dosbox2010-04-1221-52-57-60.png

Lazor Tank delivers :salute:

dosbox2010-04-1221-53-09-21.png

And another Snakemen down, not bad I must say. Too bad we don't have second Tank.

dosbox2010-04-1221-55-49-50.png

Aliens turn, Snakemen retreats.

dosbox2010-04-1221-55-53-26.png

Stunt Bomb flies over, lucky it didn't hit Overweight Manatee.

dosbox2010-04-1221-55-59-54.png

Chryssalid returns...

dosbox2010-04-1221-56-06-90.png

Destroys Lazor Tank...

dosbox2010-04-1221-58-02-03.png

Overweight Manatee hits him once but the bastard is still alive.

dosbox2010-04-1221-58-15-07.png

Like my buddy Crash screamed once in Alien Swarm: Let's get the fuck out of here!

dosbox2010-04-1221-58-55-54.png

dosbox2010-04-1221-59-31-79.png

This is probably one of the most fuck up mission in X-COM I ever had, basically Overweight Manatee didn't have time to do anything :lol:

Wow, very nice score, it won't harm you much at all. I need to get down to the med bay and finish off Silellak, though.
