I for one would like to see this LP finished. I haven't played the game and doubt I ever will, but I'm thoroughly enjoying reading the LP.

Maybe you should simply institute a limit to how long you'll wait before you make the choices for them?
Say, if they haven't chosen new equipment within 24 hours of you posting what they can buy, you step in and decide for them?

Yeah, fuck 'em and choose - it'll be fine.

Also, I'd like to see this out, but it's you that's playing it.

This is my rifle, this is my gun. This is for fighting and this is for fun.

I approve of gunnery sergeant Hartman training methods :D

Okay Commander, teammates and readers...

I'm going to go on a trip around the world with my spouse so...I'm not going to have the net anymore.

It'll take at least 8 months so it's fair to assume that I won't be able to let's play anymore.

You choose for me Commander.

Damn, soldier - I bet you'll miss this sweet and innocent times of codex-browsing soon. :(

Anyway, you can bet that you'll be killed in violent way.

Let's go!

2ce0x7p.jpg


Mission 13 - Under-city

2r2c64g.jpg


2nlbjf7.jpg


Limit of turn in mission?

:rage:

This mission looks like total mess from the start:

1nzd78.jpg


We have to reach the switch on the green-orange pillar to the north.

2w6a2jr.jpg


To do that, we have to use small elevators.
AFAIR they work in a weird way: when one goes down, other one goes up.

We have two of them to the south, both down:

n6qgm.jpg


They should lead us to the upper platform:

2meyesp.jpg


Those two square things are closed ducts AFAIR :(
The central switch moves the final elevator - AFAIR. This one:

29blgnb.jpg


But to reach it, we have to move N, using the only elevator that is accesible ATM:

1rzs4y.jpg


Already looks like rape? Well' it pretty much is.

We have a turn limit so we have to split the team in two groups:
  • 1st group (Bratt, Bluebottle and Pussy) will move E and onto the high platform. They will operate the central switch killing everything that comes from the two ducts. Since they will be placed on high platform, they will provide fire support for 2nd group, if possible.
  • 2nd group (lightbane, Krraloth and PrzeSzkoda) will move N, onto the ground level. They will open both ECs, kill everything that comes from the one duct and finally - one of them will reach the final switch.

To make one thing clear: if I screw up in some way and we don't reach the final switch in time (mission failed) I will go back to some previous turn without bothering you with this whole resurrection thing.

But! Your resurrection powers may come in handy, because we have new enemies in this mission: Ee'Ther (a.k.a. Invisible Motherfuckers from Hell)

2v93htz.jpg


2s17uy1.jpg


Another close combat unit. This Scay'Ger regenerates back to full health after being injured at the end of your turn.
So: Use defense mode to soften him up during the Scay'Ger turn and then give him everything you can in your turn.

APs : 5
HPs : 20
Front/Rear armor : 3/3
Weapon : claws
- Range : 1-1
- Accuracy : 100%
- Damage : 2
- Defensive mode : -
- AP : 1
- Ammo : -

Well, TBH I've checked (saved, loaded and deployed four units without a scanner) and this guys are not "invisible", as I remembered. Meaning - we don't need a scanner to attack them. But they certainly do regenerate!

Team placement (left to right):

2qvsf87.jpg


PrzeSzkoda, lightbane, Pussy, Bluebottle, Krraloth and Bratt (yeah, I should've switched Krraloth and Pussy during the deployment, but hey!).

Let's do it, people!

(In next update that is) :)

29b0qvr.jpg


We should use MT against this 3rd E'T, but we don't know where will he move (W or S).
We also have no less than 7 R'Ts more or less in range.
Let's assume E'T will move W.

Enemy turn:

The plan for now:
  • lightbane & Przeszkoda will move N and W, opening both EC's and killing everything coming from the northern duct
  • Krraloth will move NE, supporting them if necessary. He will also operate the final switch
  • Bratt will stay near the 2nd duct and Ammo Crate, killing everything crawling from there
  • Pussy will operate the central switch keeping an eye on 3rd duct
  • Bluebottle will go N and try to provide fire support for the guys on the ground level. He will also cover 3rd duct together with Pussy
Let's go!

Alright, time out!

1x Small Medkit for Pussy bought. Nothing for Bluebottle - I think he should switch to Double Fire or RFMG but i didn't want to spend his SPs (for now). :smug:

27xnhon.jpg


Let's go!

rvy4hi.jpg


Mission 14 - Heaters

59x2d4.jpg


30u8pid.jpg


I've decided that Bratt is too awesome to participate in this mission.
We will use Krraloth (MT), Pussy and lightbane.

Turn 1

11bln3t.jpg


One of the bombs is already below us, and activated

2mnm2yv.jpg


The southern switch/lever is not far away, but we have 2 E'Ts and 3 R'Ts blocking our path.

1z4eo9c.jpg


In SW corner we have one duct (currently closed) and three other switches, probably operating those three doors in the middle.

oasys9.jpg


Destination point is behind the doors, plus three ECs and some aliens.

21oofx3.jpg


The bombs are way more dangerous in this mission than the aliens (insta-death). We have to be careful. And fast.

Pussy kills two R'Ts

167s0gz.jpg


moves S. Krraloth places the mine in front of the closest E'T

2uqirz8.jpg


moves S. lightbane moves SW (away from the bomb).

k0rbch.jpg


Enemy turn: 1st E'C blows himself on the mine.

bi57nq.jpg


Duct opens up.

Turn 2

34qlgtu.jpg


We should move away from this three mines.

2ex357d.jpg


Krraloth hits E'T for 12 HP, moves S.

24zkjrs.jpg


He should be fine. In enemy turn two mines (deep red) should blow up. But the one close to him (red) should be fine (I hope).
Now we have to kill this E'T.

Pussy hits E'T twice, killing him. Moves SE.
lightbane moves S, kills R'T

x4m6oh.jpg


Enemy turn: bombs blow up, but no harm done to the team.

n1sbye.jpg


Turn 3

29oo76a.jpg


We should move...

2u5rvqa.jpg


All units go S.

Turn 4

dx03dw.jpg


29c2xvs.jpg


lightbane moves S. 7 R'Ts in sight. Uses DM.

2d8116t.jpg


Other units move S.

Enemy turn: lighbane kills five R'Ts, WRH

Turn 5

1en98m.jpg


lightbane kills two R'Ts

2vdmq7b.jpg


moves W. Pussy moves W+DM. Krraloth S, uses the switch. Phew - no turn limit from now on.

Enemy turn: Pussy kills five R'Ts, WRH.

21jzp02.jpg


Turn 6

14wak3p.jpg


Krraloth kills four R'Ts

wwi0ia.jpg


moves W. lightbane kills two, moves W, Pussy moves W, kills the last one

iqe97a.jpg


Turn 7

110go5d.jpg


lightbane moves W, kills two R'Ts

2wg4ufd.jpg


Pussy moves W, kills the 3rd. Krraloth moves W.

Turn 8

1zph1k5.jpg


lightbane & Krraloth move NW. Pussy moves W, kills two R'Ts

21mi5fk.jpg


Turn 9

2h6gbhd.jpg


wi3og7.jpg


The plan ATM is as follows:
  • lightbane will advance north. He will move past the doors, open all ECs and reach [A] point.
  • Pussy will stay near the duct, killing all new R'Ts showing up. He has the biggest ammo clip (27 bullets ATM) but can always use this AC nearby.
  • Krraloth will move N, opening one of the doors for lightbane. He will act as fire support for Pussy.
Let's go!

Pussy kills four R'Ts, WIH.
lightbane moves NE. Krraloth N, uses 1st switch to the right.

207vygy.jpg


Door to the right opens up

ddp89f.jpg


Turn 10

hug6r5.jpg


Please God, no new E'Ts this time!

2cp4yed.jpg


lightbane moves E, kills one R'T :)

dxcn5i.jpg


Pussy will not kill all this R'Ts with this level of weapon's heat. He moves NE, kills two R'Ts

2dqkb3c.jpg


Krraloth kills the other two.

Turn 11

302b2oy.jpg


Pussy kills two R'Ts, WIH

2jbtc41.jpg


We should be really careful with lightbane now - two aliens & two bombs that will blow up in two turns...

33joeuq.jpg


ligthbane moves N+DM. Krraloth uses Rest.

Enemy turn: lightbane kills two R'Ts

Turn 12

25slouv.jpg


Pussy kills two R'Ts. Krraloth uses Rest.
lightbane should use Rest too:

2znqp7o.jpg


But since time is money, he uses drugs (+2AP) and advances N.

Turn 13

2r6edyu.jpg


It should be a piece of cake from now on.
Pussy kills one R'T, Krraloth other two.
lightbane advances N (Crates).

Turns 14-17
  • Krraloth kills 14 R'Ts
  • Pussy kills 8 R'Ts
  • ligthbane opens three ECs

xb0jns.jpg

15579yp.jpg

Mission ends.

Kills: Krraloth 122(+22), Pussycat669 99(+31), lightbane 99(+15), Bratt 96(+0), Bluebottle 63(+0), PrzeSzkoda 39(+0)

But first things first - what should I boy for you?

1x RFMG for Bluebottle bought.

1z49u2f.jpg


Mission 15 - Cross the Drawbridge

ji2qrp.jpg


178l76.jpg


Turn 1

2ljq2dg.jpg


The team starts in NE corner. We have a bridge to the south (+ one EC)

2chtl0.jpg


leading to three ECs in SE corner:

2m7iwxu.jpg


Two S'Cs are visible, placed on high pillars, guarding both bridges (drawbridge is lifted ATM)

fw223d.jpg


The switch that lovers the drawbridge is located to the West. Three ECs, two open ducts and some aliens are also there. :(

dh8j6d.jpg


The final switch is located in SW corner. We also have two ECs and two closed ducts there.

xeeusl.jpg


The plan is as follows:
  • Bratt will go S, opening four ECs and crippling/killing both S'Cs,
  • other guys will advance W, then they will split up: 1st group will go W (Switch) and 2nd will go S (Drawbridge & final switch).
  • Bratt will join 1st group near the ducts, to help them kill all new R'Ts.
Dismissed!
