UPDATE 42:
When we left off, Team Kwa has just arrived at a terror site.
KickAss rocket tank locates what the captive Sectoids call a Cyberdisc.
It takes two rockets to wreck the thing. A civilian was also killed in the process.
Two more Cyberdiscs approach the Skyranger! A Sectoid is lurking nearby too!
Malakalov's autocannon fire stuns the grey creature.
This time KickAss' rockets failed to dent either of the alien weapon platforms, but U-Cat has an idea...
It worked like a charm
Another goddamn Cyberdisc is found at our landing zone. The bastards are well prepared against us.
A Sectoid is spotted a little further away.
On his way to finish off the Cyberdisc, Malakalov spots even more...
...Sectoids.
One down... oh shite!
Fat Boobs dealt with the second Sectoid, but we still have to Cyberdiscs to wreck.
Slips forwarded this primed high explosive satchel to U-Cat.
Let's pray the explosion won't kill our brave men outside the Skyranger...
U-Cat also takes out the third Sectoid with a well aimed snap-shot.
Everyone's alive, with merely minor wounds suffered, but the screams indicate that all too many civilians suffer under alien fire!
Malakalov spots the surviving Cyberdisc again, but the entire team's concentrated fire fails to do anything about it.
Is it the same one, or another?
Doesn't matter as long as it turns into scrap metal.
MOAR Cyberdiscs!
The machine survived a direct rocket hit, but at least KickAss got its Sectoid master.
Medic's laser fire, however, wrecked the thing for good!
Ripper spots...
...and disposes of a hostile.
Nope, the fukcing rooftop Cyberdisc is still operational.
How many more are there?!
One less thanks to Azira. And one less Sectoid caught in the Cyberdisc's explosion.
PrzeSzkoda deals with the other alien war machine.
Malakalov spots another bulb-head.
Eat this!
JoKa searches the building to find an unarmed Sectoid.
He promptly deals with it.
Slips finds one too. It is also unarmed.
And now it is dead.
We just lost Malakalov! RIP Malakalov
Fat Boobs locates the likely culprit.
Sweet revenge!
It was the last alien.
Malakalov's death means promotions for some of the survivors. Congratulations
The Council of Funding Nations approves of our effort.
With the exception of Canadastan, The Federated Krautlands and the Land of the Blossoming Tentacle...
KwaCOM's radar array detects an UFO!
chzr engages it over Alaska.
He brings it down.
Since Team Kwa just tackled a terror site, Team Tentacle is sent to recover this craft.
As they make their way there, another Alien Battleship is reported over Europe!
Fortunately it is unable to locate PotatoCOM2.
And Team Tentacle reaches the crash site.
It was a Muton craft and the most recent iteration of Hellraiser killed his first alien during that mission.
Two Medium UFOs are detected dirtside in Asia. Drakron and Drog are sent to pin them to the ground.
Meanwhile, Tentacle Team's skyranger approaches the nearer of the alien craft.
