West Coast is a research base which also houses a part of the 1st. Interceptor Flight.

An UFO was detected on 11th Feb. 1999 but it escaped from the range of radar cover before interceptor got to it.

The let's play is abandoned. The horror of the future is to all-permeating. I can't focus any more, nor deliver any positive feelings from it.

It was a real massacre. I was about to evacuate after the town started to crawl with zombies and chrysalids and grenadiers ran out of ammo. I was trying to bring back a dead chrysalid and an unconscious chrysalid. The operator carrying the unconscious got killed and I lost a tank. By then the losses were half of the platoon.
I consolidated my forces by the Skyranger and realised that I still have a lot of ammo inside. I think I used up about 20 TB rockets, 10 TB missiles and 50 TB grenades. Also, 30 tank cannon shells.
In the end I won and got good score.

Chrysalids are horribly hard to kill D: .

It happened in the end of April 1999.

Day later the 1st Interceptor Flight scrambled to intercept a Very Large UFO.
Unlike in earlier encounters the alien craft returned effective fire, destroying all three Interceptors.
The UFO crash-landed after receiving several hits with Avalanche missiles.

The mission was a disaster. About 50 metres behind the downed UFO, enemy HWPs waited in ambush.

Initially the mission was looked like an easy clean up. One alien was killed and it was suspected that most of them died in the crash.

Then one by one plasma bolts came from the darkness behind UFO, exploding in fireballs, killing X-Com operatives.

Ultimately one Cyberdisk was destroyed but the rest was impossible to approach because they were in mutually supporting positions and X-Com operatives exchanged their smoke grenades for more flares.
X-Com took more losses during withdrawal.

In the end a horrible disaster happened. A plasma bolt hit the door of the ship, massacring soldiers inside.

One soldier panicked and ran out of the Skyranger. He was left behind.

Thirteen X-Com operatives have died on that day and one was missing in action.
