Eventually, once we get the first transport upgrade. I don't really wanna cut down to 6 bros just to get a scout car in.

It was an honor to serve.Breach, Bang and Clear
We're not taking any chances on this one. It's our first "medium" size UFO and we've no idea what kind of alien horrors we'll be facing. The newfags are kicked back to the barracks in favour of Lieutenants Zdzisiu and Dayyalu. Vacation time is over.
Reports indicate the aliens crashes in Sweden. We need to contain the crash site quickly before locals show up to volunteer for anal probing.
Right out of the gate, Luzur spots an alien. Caesans are roaming the snowy wastelands. She lands a solid hit, but the alien remains standing.
It takes further 2 shots from Lightbane and Gondolin before the alien falls. No doubt the frigid ambient temperatures lowering the efficiency of our heat-based weaponry.
A barrage of plasma bolts ventilate a local anal probee. The aliens have brought Tactical Kurwa of their own!
Cripes that's a big one. It's a testament to the aliens perversion of the laws of nature that thing even flies. Well, until we pump it full of rokkits anyway.
Another melonheaded alien is spotted alongside what look slike a miniature UFO. Roxor deploys his hyperweapon but both of them remain unfazed.
Someone mutters "These Grognards have no balance..." The newfag Gondolin steps up to the plate, lines up his rifle and blows the aliens brains all over the snow with a 360 noscope headshot.
Turns out it's the miniature ufo that deploys alien kurwa. Fortunately for Profreshinal it's even worse at hitting than Roxor.
Pow! After severl hits, Lightbane finally bags the overgrown mosquito.
Dayyalu spots another of the sneaky fuckers trying to sneak around our flank to the north.
And this time Roxors aim is true!
The team moves in to secure the UFO. The cheecky fuckers start taking potshots at Roxor while a couple of plasma shots zip over our heads from behind.
Turns out one of the fuckers was trying to be a hero...
Zdzisiu will have none of it!
Profreshinal tries the peekaboo game on the UFO...
And Roxor - enraged from his grazing hit - dials Kurwa up to the max!
A redshirt - we've previously identified those as "noncombatants" is huddling in the entrance room. This seems like an idea candidate for interrogation.
We lob a couple of our newly researched stun grenades into the UFO and wait for the smoke to disperse
The aliens still have a psion hiding somewhere. Scrooge is visited with repeated images of Prosperland and cowers in terror.
the team moves up into the UFO. Space is cramped - but between interior chest high walsl and shieldmaidens we have ample cover. An alien is foolish enough to open the door and is immediately shredded by reaction fire.
Shit! The clustered xenonauts proves too tempting a target - and one of the aliens packed a grenade! Lightbane is turned into abstract art all over the walls and ceiling. RIP
As usual, Scrooge is quick to avenge the fallen. If only she would kill the aliens before they killed her bros instead...
The UFO turns out to be cleared. Somewhere out there in the snow is a lone alien, hiding and waiting to anal probe someone.
It is decided that the swedes would probably like that, so we leave it out there, opting instead for holding the UFO for 5 turns to complete the mission.
It's a bit of a shame Lightbane died. Aliens barely ever use grenades and then we meet the only one who had the presence of mind (and spare TUs) to do so. A very solid performance to Gondolin. It'a about time some of the riflemen pulled their weight. Not pictured: Ton of new science options. We should be able to get drop ship upgrades soon™

Not from my experience.
Well, the scrublord basic combatants don't use them a lot, sure, but officers, elites, etc, they lob them on every occasion they get. And that dude was an officer. Shoulda taken advantage from how close he was and clubbed him over the head.
scrublord
Helmet aliens(officer,leader) resist nades use rods against them.
Btw did they change winning conditions in recent builds. I did finish my playthough in october. Dont remember hold Ufo for 5 turns condition.

Fun fact, the dudes maintianing the Community Edition changed some shit in the 0.32 version, and now some people cannot run the mod because it can't write some files into the users/xxx/appdata/ folder, its some problem with Windows permission system (Even on admin account) but if you get the "Cannot initiate internat scripts" error, just revert to 0.31 H1, thats the last one before the change.
And Im pissed because the answer on the forums seems to be "Sorry, thats a Windows problem, can't help you". But I wonder why they would even move the folder into there in the first place since shit worked ok in the last version.
Oh how I miss the times when games kept all of their files in the folder you told them to.

It's been like that since late beta, at least from what I recall.
T-800 Terminators!
The eggheads provide us with more valuable intel and a most disturbing discovery!
A foul infiltrator from the "Arpegee Watch" corporation is apprehended, interrogated and summarily executed.
Terrible news! selling alien tech was going to be our big cash cow. We're saving the world here, but we have to use every pencil until it's worn down to the nub because of insufficient funding! D:
We're haemorraging funds. We probably need to stabilize the kwa now or they're definitely gone for good.
The aliens know this too. A hideous amount of traffic goes on in the kwanzanian skies. ITZ has arrived! The ultimate doom expansion set for kwanzania is unleashed!
And it's going to be at least 15 days before we can get fighters over there. Assuming we can afford them.
Another cruiser has been downed. Serratedbiz has been upgraded to Allahu Akbar with a mix of stun and alenium rockets. Mostly stun. But those are no good against robotic cyberdiscs
Scrooge and Dayyalu make contact! A new kind of alien! entirely robotic, so we're not going to take them down with our knockout gas grenades and rockets!
Fortunately they are not laserproof. luzur reaches out from afar and headshots one of the aliens from 3 screens away.
Dayyalu tags the other alien with his pistol. The damage is pitiful, but enough to make the alien turn towards him. This, in turn, allows Scrooge to close from its flank without receiving reaction fire. (See Jaedar, that's what pistols are good for). Shortly after, the xeno machine is scrap.
the rest of the team is stacking up near the UFO. We're not quite ready to assault it yet, so they're staying out of sight of the peekaboos.
A salvo of shots hit Luzur from behind in the alien turn. A cyberdisc slipped through our lines.
Luzur returns fire, but the damed thing is still floating.
We gamble that - like Roxor - they cannot reaction fire. Scrooge closes the distance and saves her teammate.
That should be all of them. Time to begin the ufo assault.
Knock knock.
Roxor deploys the tactical kurwa and bags a bot. He also suppresses his team as usual. Noone really trusts the potato aim it seems.
Return fire riddles Profreshinal with plasma on the alien turn. Including shots from the warehouse to the left of the UFO. We missed one! Good thing Profreshinal was wearing our new prototype T-72 WILK Sovietanium armor or he would've been dead.
Dayyalu spots the xenobot. It has moved back into cover and its back is turned to the door.
All the opening Scrooge needs.
Roxor continues laying down the tactical kurwa. the unfeeling machines appear immune to suppresison.
But not to Gondolins headshots.
The team prepares to enter the ufo. Serratedbiz uses her last Alenium rocket to cover their advance.
Roxor bags another kill with close range spray & potay
And the shotgunners clean house.
No deaths? Massive
The eggheads get to work on disassembling the xenobots.
More xeno sightings. A distressing amount of them in the Kwa. Yeah... We probably should've built Itz central before waifustan. Too late to change that now. A large scout is brought down over southern england.
The many barns prove an excellent hunting ground for the shotgunners, who can get close enough to shred the caesans with ease.
When the time comes to assault the UFO, Serratedbiz fires a couple of stun rockets into it. The team waits outside for a couple of turns while the aliens choke, and eventually go in to find them all dead or unconscious.
Since we already have a live caesan at our base for study, the survivors are executed before they wake.
Another no-deaths mission. Excellent. We may be able to salvage this yet!

This rocket launcher... it suits me. Perhaps, in the future, I will wield something similar in a Tournament. That would be Unreal.
Quick & Dirty
Our science dudes finish researching alien electronics. Along with our other research this opens up for a load of new stuff we can research & Build. Corsair (new Interceptor), Shrike (new Transport) and Scimitar (Laz0r Tank) are chief among them. Since we need to gain air superiority to stabilize our funding, we pick Corsair first.
Another medium UFO is downed and the A-team goes to clear it out for cash. Also, roxor has been grumbling about not having anal provbed an alien with a cattle prod. So we'll try for that too.
Cyberdiscs seem to be a standard part of medium UFOs regardless of the main alien species. Scrooge practices some skeet shooting.
There's a fair amount of soace, so we forego our usual 2x4man teams for a single group in our sweep.
O hey, that's something new for me too. Alien - not jus tinside a house but on the second floor!
Roxor engages Maximum Kurwa and changes the xenos mind about its vantage point.
More aliens indoors. We can't quite get a good shot in on this one with our current TUs.
in fact, the Caesans seem to love hiding in houses now. Not that it stop Scrooge from dispensing pain.
what's this? Our friend from before actually walked up the stairs and onto the secodn floor? The AI has definitely gotten augmented since the last Let's Play!
SeratedBiz thanks our guest for making such a visible silhouette against the sky!
The Xeno Scrooge clipped tries to make a run for it. But Dayyalu walks up with his shield and pops a cap in its face.
Profreshinal spots an alien as well. Not to be outdone by his fellow shieldmaiden, he lobs an alenium grenade at the melonhead. But it survives the blast!
It's softened up though. And after absorbing the return fire with his shield, Prefreshinal puts a bullet in its face.
Serratedbiz knocks on the door. (I screenshotted a split-second before the explosion
)
And Roxor lays down the suppression. That's an officer on the right. If you remember a few updates back, a bunch of codexers gave me flak for not trying to stun the officer.
So Dayyalu tosses a stun grenade into the UFO.
The aliens withdraw out of the smoke, allowing our team to enter and kill off the grunts.
It takes a flashbang and another 4 melee attacks with an officer before the bastard finally goes down.
Great success! no deaths (though roxor is goign to be out for a while), some medals, good upgrades. And wa captured an officer to inte.... Wait. What?
Executed.
Yeah. turns out of you haven't completed interrogating a grunt, the officer gets executed on sight. so capturing the previous officer we encountered wouldn't have accomplished anything.
[hahahaohwow.gif]
aaaand on our way back, this pops up. Terror site in Sydney.
If we go back to replace roxor (who is out of commission for a week) with someone who can figh, we'll likely not get to the terror site in tow or gt forced to fight it at night. If we go straight away we can fight it during the day, but we will be missin gour heavy hitter. What does the Codex Astartes recommend in this situation?

Wat.
You need to waterbord the lower ranks to start talking with officers? Why I'm not surprised.

Hard to say. Early Terror missions tend to be fairly light, but you've only got seven troops, two of which have shields and won't be good for much beyond spotting.
Probably depends on the loadout of your other troops. If you've only got one HE rocket and a bunch of stuns, for instance, you're looking at even worse circumstances if you're up against Androns.
Honestly, though, you're pretty much forced to do it now unless you want to write of Aussie funding. It's a fairly small chunk of funding, but it'll make a huge difference in your monthly discretionary spending (ie weapons, armor, etc) once the three bases are fully operational.

I finally got a kill! Let's call it a day, don't want to overdo it with a second one.
Go while it's still day and try spotting aliens on the first turn. If it's a type you can handle stay, if not get everyone back in the Shoutbox and leave on turn one so the aliens don't get to kill the civilians. I think landing and leaving immediately is the least damaging option to the score (except for clearing the site). Also it gets A-bombed afterwards so technically those aliens are dead.
