In January 1999, the first base of X-Com - American HQ became operational.
Its radar system covered a cluster of cities on the east coast.
The base turned out to be cramped and the commander ordered building additional quarters, stores, a larger radar system and an alien containment.
The commander ordered construction of a radar/research base covering the west coast.
During the first 10 days, it got one alien contact - a little flying saucer that didn't survive. Soon, a construction of a Western European base with a hangar and a large radar system was ordered.
After that, more equipment and soldiers were ordered.
On 17th a new type of Alien activity has started. A terror site. A Skyranger was dispatched to China to investigate.
It landed in a place where Aliens were reported to be spotted.
Immediately after landing, two soldiers were killed when exiting a side doors, another one when engaging a nearby alien.
The landing site was quickly secured.
To the east was another alien and a white flying disk. A smoke grenade was detonated to block their line of sight.
The losses on landing were three killed riflemen and one damaged tank.
Secured landing site.
Meanwhile shots from alien weapons and screams of civilians were heard.
X-Com forces divided into two teams to stop the terror as quickly as possible.
Team 1 - Two tanks, a missile launcher and a rifleman went east to engage the enemy war machine. And Team 2 - a machine gunner a grenadier and a rifleman went south.
X-Com forces leaving the landing zone.
Team 1 has killed an alien and moved through a garden towards street.
One tank was destroyed by a flank hit by alien HWP.
Second tank hit it with a shell and withdrawn when it didn't die. Missile launcher fired a HEAT missile but it failed to destroy it.
Alien HWP and destroyed tank.
A second shot from Tanks cannon destroyed it. At the same time the AT soldier has spotted another alien HWP moving through a store and destroyed it with a hand grenade.
Meanwhile Team 2. Has encountered another alien flying disk.
Another disk was detected by a soldier from Team 1.
After some manoeuvring Team 2 managed to destroy its flying disk with a grenade launcher.
AT soldier was hit in the back when advancing along the street. The remaining HWP turned back and fired at another alien disk. It needed two shots to destroy it.
The alien HWP detected by the Team 1 rifleman was floating over a warehouse. Grenadier fired his last grenade at it and missed.
Team 2's rifleman ran into the warehouse with a high explosive.
Machine gunner kept the disk busy but ultimately it was the remaining tank that destroyed it.
The last source of fire was behind a mansion in the eastern part of the combat area.
It turned out to be an alien disk which was quickly destroyed by the tank.
The mission was a failure. While aliens were neutralised with surprisingly small X-Com losses, they massacred about 95% of the area's civilian population.
Skyranger returning to base.
Lost soldiers.
During the mission, it turned out that soldiers were insufficiently equipped and some of them were under-trained. It is necessary to equip them with more explosive weapons.
There were no alien incidents until the end of the month. The funding organizations weren't satisfied and decreased funding.
