Damn, my guy drops aliens left and right. With a gun and 45 accuracy.

Go for the larger craft. Show those xenos that we aren't playing games.
How long is Slips II going to be in the hospital? He wants to pay the aliens back.

Large one, obviously. Bonus points if it's snakemen 
I decided to get the very small UFO first after all, but managed to land by the large one on the same day.
Slips II is now aboard the Skyranger

The landed craft is interesting. Besides, a landed craft implies an intact craft. And that means more aliens to be captured alive and interrogated..

The Body Count
X-COM: Men: 23
Tanks: 3
Aliens: 90
Not counting those lost in destroyed UFOs and the large UFO that plummeted into the English Channel
DO BOTH!!! You know You want TOStoryfag said:

Bigger is better, so assault the bigger one.

should be able to do both if you do the smaller one first.
By the way, since Sergiu64 is now a Sergeant could you update his status in the roster please?

Smaller landed one first for sure, the other one can't fly away, and it is intact which means elerium. Unelss you throw a HE pack in there again 
That was a very small UFO, so that means no Elerium at all.
And yes, I took out the small one first, and am now in the latter half of assaulting the large UFO. It's a Sectoid Terror Ship and first mind puppets have been already pinpointed. Expect a full update tommorow.

What? It picked up a weapon? So it works, woohoo, picked it up from the ground and immediately dispatched two guys with it, massi.............erm...I mean the bloody beast ended the lives of two young, brave ensigns fighting for humanity. That was most unfortunate.

Indeed, it works. I've had autofire coming my way from large distances too.

Congratulations to everyone that survived thus far. Especially the captains.
You are aware that both of EuroCOM's captains have died and been replaced? :D

UPDATE 10
We first head for the landed very small UFO.
Captain Spider leads the team.
Commissar eklektyk watches the back of the Captain's head.
Gondolin's camera feed reveals a Sectoid.
Which shoots the tank, but doesn't harm it.
Azira opens fire.
And the gray thing perished!
Piece of cake.
Now it's time for the bigger piece of cake.
Commander Roxorowski himself leads the recovery mission.
This time Commissar eklektyk will merely keep the troops in line.
The tank's optics reveal a Sectoid to KickAss. The pilot immediately reports its presence to the team.
KickAss locates another hostile.
Mal fires at the first one.
And the alien fires back!
A massive explosion filled the Skyranger troop compartment!
Fortunately it merely stuns pounded_anus II.
Roxorowski reminds everyone why HE's the Commander
JoKa fires at the second Sectoid.
It resposn with a burst of automatic plasma fire!
Joka is hit, but alive.
ironyuri finishes the job.
eklektyk tends to JoKa's wounds.
An alien machine is spotted moving during the alien turn!
And a Sectoid is located by KickAss' tank.
Then the tank's pilot finds the machine again. Looks like a miniature UFO and it's hovering in the air. And the real UFO is right behind it!
JoKa dispatches the Sectoid.
And Slips wrecks the mini UFO.
The thing took three or four laser blasts to destroy!
ironyouri spots another alien hovertank.
And a Sectoid!
eklektyk throws a high explosive pack towards it, killing it effortlessly.
The aliens throw something explosive at our tank! A grenade?
KickAss spots a Sectoid and a hovertank.
Roxorowski fires.
But the machine survives.
Hellraiser narrowly misses it.
Ironyuri hits it twice, but it's still intact!
Eklektyk's hit doesn't even dent it!
Finally, Merk brings it down!
He also dispatches the Sectoid.
Soldiers start to get... strangely dizzy during the alien turn.
KickAss locates another alien hovertank. How many of these things to they have here?!
Ironyuri expertly disposes of it.
KickAss spots a Sectoid, but his tank is in no position to do anything about it.
Further dizzyness afflicts our soldiers during the alien turn.
Merk tries to revive pounded_anus. The details are best left vague.
KickAss spots the Sectoid again.
Now he kills it.
Commander Roxorowski doesn't feel too sure of himself and puts down his autocannon.
pounded_anus wakes up!
An assault team prepares to storm the UFO.
The UFO's door is large enough for the alien hovertanks to pass through, and so KickAss' tank can do the same! He spots an alien hovertank inside.
As does Slips II.
A primed high explosive charge is relayed to Slips in hopes of blowing the miniature UFO up.
TUUUUU
JoKa is feeling really dizzy and panics!
Finally, it is eklektyk who's in the best position to place his charge.
ironyuri adds Slips' explosives to the mix.
The massive explosion takes the alien machine out!
JoKa is feeling eerily tired and drops his weapons.
The assault team closes on the UFO's door after eklektyk bravely scouted the interior.
The strange dizziness strikes again during the alien turn. JoKa has gone berserk and Commander Roxorowski has paniced. Perhaps we're dealing with one of those psionic Sectoid Leaders that the interrogated Engineer alluded to?
Slips spots a Sectoid.
He promptly shoots it.
The Sectoid Leader forces ironyuri to drop his rifle!
Not one but TWO alien hovertanks are hiding in the UFO.
Hellraiser throws the high explosive charge at them, as does Desmodus III.
The blast takes only one machine out!
After the tank drew the remaining one's fire, eklektyk took it out!
<a href="http://imgur.com/2C3h8" title="Hosted by imgur.com">http://imgur.com/2C3h8</a>
This *must* be potato!
The Sectoid Leader invades ironyuri's mind again! The man panics.
Then ironyuri's comm feed dies. The man is heard breathing, but does not repsond to teammate queries!
Finally, ironyuri regains his senses.
Then he loses it to the
eklektyk spots an alien.
So does Desmodus!
Desmodus deals with his prey, eklektyk stays his hand in hopes of shaking alien control off ironyuri.
As ironyuri comes to, X-COM troopers surround the unarmed alien. A stun rod is being relayed to them.
The creature craftily panics pounded_anus who held the stun rod! Then it flees.
The troopers corner it again.
Fortunately Desmodus has another stun rod.
The psionic alien is down!
The scientists' report from the Sectoid Enginner's interrogation allows the troopers to identify this Sectoid as a Leader due to certain markings on it's forearms.
Mission accomplished.
OMG monies!
We immediately spend it on a Skyranger and new troops for KwaCOM.
More recruits assume their callsigns. Note, there's a typo in Jaedar's callsign that has been since removed. It actually is Jaedar II, like he wanted.
An UFO is detected over Asia.
Another small alien craft is located over Europe!
Drakron brings his prey down.
Bee's UFO is also shot out of the sky!
The Kwa Skyranger has not arrived yet. Is Team Potato up to tackling two crash sites? Find out in the next episode of "X-COM: Origins"!
Since KwaCOM has a rocket tank and a Skyranger is incoming, KickAss is transferred there. Anyone from EurCOM who'd like to serve in Kwa may subimit application. Note, however, that not all applications will be accepted.
