Call in for more men, start patrols at the lines and near the wreck if I am allowed to do that, make sure that EVERYONE going in the railway that is not a certified superior of me is searched entirely. Also try to research a better way to do modern warfare then using trenches.

Lukeinator didn't last long...I'm not sure whether to laugh at his incompetence at trying to seize controll of so much at once, or  be worried about the unseen dice... 



Gently slap self for not writing down the exact location of find before my flashlight burned out. 
Identify the first fragment as, most likely, 'main computer'. 


Request information:
Analyze current lighting conditions in greater depth. Review ability to get to the supply room and back without getting lost. Focus on ability to get TO supply room under scenario: (use flashlight) and scenario: (don't use flashlight).

Search for items:
Explicitly add currently-held notebook to inventory, hoping it's got more unused pages than normal.
Briefly but carefully fumble around to see if my brush is merely dropped rather than destroyed, WITHOUT using any items.

Should I fail, complain to the uncaring chair about the unfairness of a brush being a one-use item rather than a reusable tool

Take everything, see if I can jimmy open the safe. Examine the skull closer.
Head out to the next fire.




Elephant Parade : Chrissie Ross
[Deceased]
fractalman : Jordan Green
[4/4 Health][Rifle: Full ammo][Grenade]
darkpaladin109 : Matthew Ryan
[4/4 Health][Rifle: Full ammo][Grenade]
Lukeinator : Khaled Aziz
[4/4 Health][Rifle: Full ammo][Grenade]

Jordan Green heads to the mailbox, rifle at the ready to lay down covering fire as the rest of the squad makes a move to the truck.
Ross moves to the far side, and peeks around and spots the enemy! (I moved him by mistake to the bus, sorry.)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
The three of them move to take cover around a taxi!
Matthew runs over to the truck and readies his rifle to fire on them!
Khaled follows behind him!

ALIEN TURN:

The farthest alien shields the closest one with his mind powers, before it makes a run behind the bus!
The third alien goes on overwatch!
The shielded alien opens fire on Ross, blasting open the side of the bus and killing her instantly!

Oh look, I have a steam account.
Might as well chalk it up to Pathos.
As this point we might as well invoke interpretive dance and call it a day.

I'm sorry!
...but in all honesty, it's not like all of you would have fit behind the truck, anyway.
Someone would have had to be on the side.

Somebody could've been behind the gargoyle statue.

which is where I'm headed next.
hide behind the...statue. Take a shot at the one behind the bus if I somehow get a clear shot at it en route. But ONLY if I get a clear shot, I'd rather not leave myself open if I don't have to.

Requisition or steal a choppa bike, pile the squad on the back, and get over to the west lines as quickly as possible.
Dodge between the machine guns and drift the bike under the barbed wire. The team can shoot the enemies that try to stop us. When we get to the city, they can throw me over the walls so I can undertake the assassination myself.

150 tokens on them dying in 7 turns?
Right:
They all die in under 7 turns: 3:4
All die in under 5 turns: 1:2
All die in under 3 turns: 1:4
Survive longer than 7 turns: 1:4
Complete victory: 1:6
This applies to the
XCOM game and rewards will be payed out on death or victory.

remember, betting on less than 7 will also apply if they should die in 3 or 5 or less turns, but you won't get the better payout unless you bet on them dying sooner.

Maybe we should make it so that bets for something under your direct control are invalid.

Oh yes. Oh, yes.

Send a few of my remaining men to retrieve the wreck. If they can't retrieve it, blow it up. If we can't have it, we'll at least make sure the enemy doesn't have it either.
Continue hiding. Fire at aliens if I get clear shots at them.
