Put me back in, coach. I have a good feeling about this next incarnation. I just know I can help turn April around. Or some other month.
kazgar
Arcane
kazgar falls under molecular control. And will remain that way for the rest of the mission.
Good Bye kazgar, may you be happy with your new green and yellow friends
sorry about that team, and the breaking out to scare people away at the last moment thing.
Fire up another clone onto the list when its ready.

Tripjack and ironyuri conspired for my fall since they did not get their promotion last time around. Backstabbing in the ranks! Is this what x-com has come to?

Wow. That was a slaughter. It always seems to me that as soon as you're doing too good for a month (or two) that the aliens start launching all sorts of base building and terror missions. Making the game considerably harder.
Good luck with this month. Keeping the funding of all nations involved is paramount.

Ship terror missions were what made me quit the game last time I tried to replay it. They're simply too tedious, all that running around rustling up the spare alien who doesn't want to be found.. 
for trying. Now to try and rectify that horrible score.

UPDATE 16 - Score Race, part 1
A dreadnought is found as soon as the remnants of Triton-1's assault team make it back to the base.
It hovers around China base but eventually goes away.
We also lost some melee equipment in the last mission fiasco. More drills are ordered.
The very large sub is discovered touched down near Japan. There's nothing we can do about it, as reinforcements have yet to arrive.
It doesn't stay immobile too long anyway. Another victory for the aliens.
A first batch of soldiers arrive in Atlantic-1.
And the defenders of Pacific-1 take their quarters.
Pacific-1 scientists are started on the Medi-Kit. They'll research the armor line.
Pacific-1 expands to house another sub, and adds lodgings for humans and aliens.
Reinforcements arrive in Atlantic-1. We're now back at full strength.
Few days later, scientists finally finish their research on the Sonic Oscillator. This craft weapon has the longest range, and doesn't require any ammo.
Immediately, construction of 6 units begins. All our interceptors will make the switch to dual oscillators, in case they get in range of supply or terror subs in the future.
Barracuda-1 gets the first two units.
Pacific-1's science team pays off quickly, and designs a compact healing system.
A very small sub is found in the south Atlantic.
The sonic oscillators disintegrate the sub.
Constant patrols by Barracuda-1 and Triton-1 are done in the colony's location, in hopes of catching a supply ship.
China-1's sonar picks up a small sub.
Its barracuda hasn't received oscillators yet, but torpedoes do their job for one last time.
Atlantic-1's scientists figure out the alien power source. We've been using it for months now to manufacture weapons and ammo, but I guess it can't hurt to finally know what it is.
Especially since it leads to understanding the inner workings of the Disruptor Pulse Launcher.
Aquanauts are sent to recover the sub near China. We need all the points we can get.
Edward R Murrow finds a shadow to his left.
It's dealt with in proper X-Com fashion : with a grenade.
The cadaver is that of an aquatoid.
A heavily armed alien walks straight past Undead Phoenix, without spotting him.
Azira is handed a grenade that he lands at the alien's feet.
Undead Phoenix discovers an ambush to the west.
Azira IV is doing quite good. A second kill for him.
Roxorowicz comes face to face with an aquatoid.
Edward R Murrow practices his shooting and scores a hit!
The sub is found close to the west. It looks quite blasted.
Alien movement in discovered in the sub.
Roxorowicz goes in pursuit but the alien turned back and waited in ambush!
RIP Roxorowicz, you couldn't predict the aquatoid would turn around.
goodlittletoastboy fails to throw a pulser in the crack. His grenade bounces off the hull and lands in range of both Stereotypical Villain, and Edward R Murrow... Neither of which can move.
He runs to try and fix his mistake, but is short 5 TUs.
Another pulser is thrown to at least deal with alien, but it lands on the sub roof.
goodlittletoastboy's pulser blows off, and kills our three soldiers, while leaving the aquatoid unharmed.
RIP goodlittletoastboy, you tried to fix your mistake instead of running away. Brave, but foolish.
RIP Stereotypical Villain, you were too tired to take another step, and that cost you your life.
RIP Edward R Murrow, you were there to provide covering fire, and paid the price for your bravery.
The alien then casually walks off the sub's front doors, and trips on a proximity mine, ending the mission...
No mission report, but we had 4 KIA and got about 10 aliens. Our score raises for about 30 points.
Since we have recruited many soldiers, promotions are awarded liberally.
Selling the loot earns us about a million, so it was definitely worth it.
Pacific base finishes the autopsy of a Deep One.
And scientists begin research on aqua plastics.
Soldiers arrive to replace the recent losses.
Atlantic base finishes research on disruptor ammo. We need the launcher to make use of them though. And we can't manufacture ammo until the gun is also researched.
A small sub is found, once again in the China sea.
Our brand new sonic oscillators bring it down.
Scientists finish analysis of the aqua plastic substance.
Applying it to personal armor will take time but we're looking into it.
A very small sub is found.
And is vaporized by our interceptor in one shot.
Aquanauts are sent to recover the downed sub near China, while Command anxiously looks at reports from scientists assigned to the Disruptor Pulse Launcher analysis. It's going too slow, progress is barely average and we're nearing the end of the month.

*checks stats*
Looks like I'm totally useless (again) except for tossing grenades. Load me up, bro.
And am I reading that tiny screenshot right, or do I have WAY too many "L"s in my name?
Oh, and you'll get another shipping route attack 30 minutes into the next month. For the rest of the game. Prepare thyselves.

Well, I made some good use of my 80 throwing accuracy. Also thanks for larping those 60 bravery points.

Apologies for the tiny soldier stats screenshots, I tried to make what would have been a long list a little shorter but went a little too far. Unkillable Cat 2 only has two 'l's, so all is good. You're far from useless though, remember we're very close to acquiring a new weapon that doesn't require any skill to use effectively. You may also have godly M.C. stats. As you're currently garrisoned on our pacific base in case it gets attacked, you won't go on a mission just yet, so you'll probably have access to more equipment before you see your first alien.
I actually thought goodlittletoastboy could reach the pulser in time, but forgot to take his elevated square into account. On flat land he would have made it. If my screw-up fits with the 60 bravery, all the better.
We have three bases but only one of which houses a strike team. Pacific-1 just recently received its garrison of rookies and will need some weapons manufactured and transferred to them, as well as a new Triton, before they can take on any mission.

What a clusterfuck. Fortunately, the troops will get personal armor and medikits pretty soon.
On the other hand I see that the fourth Gondolin has arrived at the Atlantic base. Good thing we come from an extended family. :D

Glad to be back in the fight. Now that your tritons can handle bigger subs you should be able to get back some of the lost score.
