Almost made me worry there. Good luck that Pope has gained tough skin in all of his successful missions, albeit it would be really cool to see some armour here or else the outcomes won't be so lucky anymore.

-=1st update=-
Except of this unfortunate event, this mission went smooth as fuck.
ian scum!
And Sergeant Hartman was holding the fort again it seems, a true master of staying in the n-th row.
-=2nd update=-
Also: with the way you play you should be called LARPfag instead of Storyfag...
Also#2: The pilot of 2nd interceptor in EuroCom should be called 'Drog' for additional lulz. If possible.
We will have to burn the corpse just in case...

Aliens tried to sneak up on us from behind or something?
An old man had to show the greenhorns how to do it right!

Survived alien autoshot with no armor? Now, I've heard about this happening, but never saw it in my game, some ultra extreme luck there. Or Pope has all saints and Vatican machinery on his side. (He surely has, I just never thought they have connections on other planets.)
UPDATE 21
Comrade Commissar joins the Potato Team.
An UFO is detected and Major Bee is sent to intercept it.
The alien craft landed before he could do so, and thus Team Potato is sent to assault it instead of the crashed one.
Two officers lead Team Potato.
Lieutenant Gondolin's camera feed is nearly useless in the darkness, but is still reveals a Floater!
And another one, standing by the UFO.
Eklektyk first sets one ablaze...
...and then kills it.
Jaedar lit the other up, allowing ironyuri an easier shot.
Hellraiser spots a hostile atop the UFO!
It is dispatched by Dextermorgan.
Another alien is spotted by ironyuri.
It is also brought down by Dextermorgan.
Gondolin spots a Floater lurking on a hill.
Another is spotted exiting the UFO!
Roxorowicz inserts a stun rod into it's rectal cavity. Having completed a Floater autopsy, we now know how to keep them alive.
And Gondolin deals with the one he spotted.
Hellraiser, Dextermorgan, Roxorowicz, RK47 and Comrade Commissar prepare to storm the UFO.
Hellraiser enters the alien craft and comes face to face with a Floater.
He terminates it.
Comrade Commissar spots...
...and disposes of yet another alien.
Comrade Commissar and a Floater exchange fire!
Then Comrade Commissar kills the offending alien.
RK47 spots...
...and kills one more.
Dextermorgan spotted too many hostiles for his liking and retreated.
RK47 dispatches one.
And Dextermorgan returns, with the intent to stun the other.
He does so.
Ending the mission.
The science team dubbed this species "Mutons" for reasons of their own.
Team Potato landed at the crash site we aimed for earlier. Colonel Korenzel will be testing the battlefield applications of a Mind Probe.
Gondolin immediately notices multiple hostiles. It's those "Mutons".
They appear to have surrounded the landing zone...
ironyuri brings down the one in front of the Skyranger's ramp. His first shot must have wounded it severely,
as its reaction fire managed to merely scorch the plane's hull.
Korenzel uses the Mind Probe to invade the remaining aliens' minds. They seem to be well rested and twitchy.
An alien grenade-analog is thrown at the Skyranger's ramp, wounding Dextermorgan and Roxorowicz, but both
soldiers survive. The tank is not scratched at all.
Just as Gondolin spots a fourth hostile...
...a massed barage of laser fire brings the second one down.
And then the third one.
Another grenade-analog is thrown at our team. Fortunately it falls short.
A badly damaged UFO is located.
Half the team's fire is needed to dispatch the grenadier. Ironyuri fires the final shot.
Ending the mission. Excellent, we captured a live one!
Flight Officer Drog is sent in pursuit of a Small UFO.
He brings it down a couple of thousands kilometers north of Alien Base-1.

Well it is obvious that what we need at this point is an x-com assault on a very large UFO that landed somewhere.

same here, unless of course i'm healthy, but just doing nothing of import.
Hospital roster:
PotatoCOM
Roxorowicz - 11 days
Dextermorgan - 23 days
Comrade Commissar - 22 days
KwaCOM
MMXI Jr - 2 days
U-Cat 2 - 26 days
Desmodus III - 6 days.
So Team Kwa will be back in working order in a matter of a week. Sergu66 will be assigned to EuroCOM so that Team Potato will be capable of launching ground assaults too.

Sorry for the update lags but organising one's marriage appears to take some time after all.
UPDATE 22
Sergiu66 joins Team Potato.
Team Potato reaches the crash site.
This Floater tried to shoot at our tank!
Gondolin spots two more hostiles.
Hellraiser deals with the one spotted first.
The Floaters fail to hit our tank.
Repeatedly.
Ironyuri discovers a sinister shadow!
It soon releases a Floater's death cry.
He also deals with one of the Floaters spotted by Gondolin.
The tank's camera feed reveals yet another hostile.
JoKa dispatches it.
One more alien is spotted...
...and dealt with by RK47.
Sergiu66 discovers a very badly damaged UFO and a Floater hovering next to it.
He shoots it out of the air.
Ending the mission.
The science team dubs this species "Reaper". Let's hope the reapers will never assume control.
An UFO is detected over Asia.
Major Drakron is sent to intercept it.
He succeeds.
Mere moments later a Large UFO is detected very close to the crash site.
Major Bee and Lieutenant Drog are sent to intercept the Large UFO. Major Drakron also receives orders to engage and soften it up. As the Large UFO begins to outrun Drakron over the Pacific, chzr is sent from KwaCOM to deal with it.
The Council of Founding Nations seems to be pleased, but lack of funding changes from Kwanzania, the UK, Krautland and Brazil is worrying. We need a spectacular success this month!
As we lose trace of the UFO over the Kwan Western Seaboard, we immediately pick up a small one.
Chzr receives orders to pursue it.
Team Kwa's Skyranger arrives at the crash site in the evening...
It is led by KwaCOM's finest officers and gentlemen.
KickAss spots one of those damned Mutons.
It takes the concentrated fire of Hartman, Ripper, Azira and Slips to bring it down!
This alien tried to fire its stunning weapon at our team.
The bloody thing survived three direct hits from poundedanus' laser rifle.
But Hartman saves the day!
KickAss discovers the UFO... and another Muton.
Ripper and Azira barely manage to stun it.
One more is discovered atop a nearby hill.
After half the team misses it, kazgar wounds it three times, but fails to bring it down!
Fortunately PrzeSzkoda manages to finish it off.
The Muton that Ripper and Azira's laser fire stunned is now up again!
But not for long.
KickAss spots a heavily armed alien.
They exchange fire and the Muton retreats...
It is quickly discovered again. Kazgar and Slips proceed to wound it several times.
A Mind Probe scan reveals it to be an Enginner. Excellent.
poundedanus vigoriously pounds its anus with a stun rod.
Azira drags the stunned Engineer to safety...
...while Slips places a high explosive pack near the UFO's door.
KickAss' camera feed goes black as a Muton wrecks his tank! Fortunately we can now easily afford a replacement
Hartman fails to bring the beast down, but Slips is up to the task.
The Pope and poundedanus storm the UFO, both wounding a Muton in the process.
Azira finishes it off.
Kazgar comes face to face with a hostile. The Mind Probe identifies it as a Navigator.
Muttering "damn, you're ugly", Kazgar stuns it.
Apparently it was the last Muton left standing.
Unfortunately only Lieutenant Drog's Interceptor is ready to go after this UFO.
Meanwhile a landed one is detected dangerously close to PotatoCOM!

What, you're getting married? Congrats!
The image seems to be a bit broken.
So you did follow spekkio's advice, I see?
Being a pilot is a bit boring, though. Can you please enroll Bee's sister, NewBee, as a EuroCOM Rookie?

Consider it done. Frankly, I'm somewhat surprised. I had expected aggressive interceptions to take a much greater toll on the pilot population. And while we're at it...
Drakron, chzr! Would you guys like to have alternate incarnations as regular troopers?

But aren't you doing it too early, then? I mean, in such case, it would be logical so synchronize marriage with the VI release (which isn't too far, anyway), so you could have a nice and heroic honeymoon where you could've taken revenge on her...
Nevertheless, gratz on this.
