[crazysheep]

Kaje: Noted.. looks like you'll still have to wait for a Brit to hop along :/

DreXav: Will slot you in after the mission ends.

All: Updates may take a lot longer than expected, my home internet's gone on the fritz and uploading screenshots is a hassle :/

[Kaje]

Haha, no worries - it means I'm still alive somewhere in the game! The life expectancy of a soldier under your supervision seems to be low

[Kaje]

Did we all die?

[crazysheep]

Not yet. You are the Emperor's avenging angels, and you don't die (that easily )

Um, updates will still take a while to put up. /me goes off and kicks router a bit harder

Gnomies: Darned transport's gonna blow!
Mario: Potential firing position acquired-


*bolt pistol shots*
Mario: Xenos evaded shots!


Magee: They've got me pinned here!
Doomsen: Breaking out the frags-


*BOOM*
Magee: That worked. Firing on insectoid xenos-
*autogun fire*


*xenos squealing*
Magee: Sounds like a mortal wound.
Gnomies: Moving in to take it out-


*more autogun fire*


Gnomies: One xenos down.
*BOOM*
*incoherent muttering*
"primitive fuel cells"


*plasma weapons fire*


Doomsen: OW- *thud*


Magee: Nooo-
*more plasma fire*
Gnomies: Xenos locking me down here!

Apologies for the horrendously delayed update - combination of crap net and project deadlines means I can't update too much.

[WillowLuman]

It's fine, as long as there are updates

Damn, I hoped Doomsen would blow himself up when he went.

[crazysheep]

Marathon XCOM is a real marathon.

Gnomies: Here.


*autogun fire*
*xenos squealing*


Gnomies: See?
*skittering*
Magee: That one's been jumping up and down for the past couple of minutes, brothers.

[WillowLuman]

Hooray! Not only an update, but one where no one died (except an alien!)

[crazysheep]

Gnomies: Popping smoke in case that flyer takes potshots. Gather round, brothers.


Magee: Good idea. Reloading autogun.


Mario: Moving up then.


*more skittering*


Mario: Xenos still jumping around up there. Cover me while I reload!


Gnomies: Scouting ahead then. Magee, cover us.


Magee: Yes, brother.


Magee: Xenos on the move! Firing now-
*autogun fire*
Magee: Argh, foul xenos!


Mario: Clear sight of target xenos.
*boom*

*boom*


Mario: That's a clean kill. Zero, repeat zero xenos biosigns detected.

Spoiler: Debrief Report (click to show/hide)

Bradford: Everyone who survived earned themselves a promotion, unlocking specialised skill training appropriate for their class.

So. I was expecting this to go worse than it actually did. That one chryssalid kept jumping up and down over the broken bridge bit till Mario headshot it.

darkpaladin, Remuthra and HissinhWalnuts, your soldiers can pick up new skills, please let me know which skill you'd prefer them to get. All new recruits (DreXav, that's you ) will debut alongside  newly promoted soldiers in the next update/interlude.

Also, you may have noticed that I made some changes to soldier ranks:

Rookie -> Neophyte
Squaddie -> Initiate
Major -> Veteran Sergeant
Colonel -> Veteran Captain

Feel free to disagree with the rank names :p

[darkpaladin109]

What skills can I pick?

[crazysheep]

You can choose from:

• Snap Shot - move and fire sniper rifle, but at a -20 Aim penalty, or
• Squadsight - shoot at any enemy which your squadmates can see, so long as you have line of sight to the enemy as well.

Also, I might as well list the skills which Remuthra and HissinhWalnuts can pick for their Support Corporals:

• Sprinter - move extra 3 tiles/squares. or
• Covering Fire - enemies who attack now trigger reaction fire (but they shoot first, and the Support shoots after that).

[darkpaladin109]

Squadsight sounds more useful to me.

[Remuthra]

Covering Fire is the best ability Supports have. Use it and Overwatch all the way.
