Oh, I also updated pictures for Carlos and Sabal.

As another consideration, both Rickenbacker and Ishmael are probably 2 missions away from Sergeant. Maaaaaybe one, if one of them cleans house and takes all the kills.

If we ignore Mexico, we'll lose it and then Canada. We need to go Mexico. And if we win, we get an already trained soldier!

We'll have to hit Mexico. We cannot afford to lose North America.

Ishmael is willing to go to Mexico... Or anywhere else for that matter...

Just so you know, part of the mod that I made is a change to satellites. They effect the host country less but have a continent wide bonus, so a single satellite over NA will bring them back down from Leaving XCOM territory. They'll be unhappy, but they won't leave. And we have two satellites we can use.

That said, Mexico is still a perfectly good option, especially if we have problems later in the month in other parts of the world (like Europe).

But not going to Mexico now doesn't mean that we'll necessarily lose any countries from North America.

I vote Mexico, partly because all of N.A. would hate us if we didn't, and mostly because I want that assault.  :P

EDIT: I just noticed the post about sats. I still vote Mexico, though I'm sure some opinions will be changed by that. There's also a high chance of everyone dieing due to the high difficulty.

Mexico it is. I bought an extra scope, despite our rather meager funds, since I figured we could really use the extra accuracy.





Mission report will be up soon.

Crossing my fingers... Come on Krauss. Rickenbacker, Ishmael, and Everking... It's all riding on them now.

     She has the stats of a Rookie, which is always what annoys me when the reward is personnel, and is also the reason I never buy the academy perk that allows you to recruit Squaddies - their stats are still Rookie level.

Edit: Correction - it seems that this has been changed so that all non-rookies start at Squaddie level.  Still annoying for higher ranks.

Awesome! I'm honestly surprised no one died that mission.
Anyways, skills: I'm torn between Low Profile and Bullet Storm. Shooting twice would be nice, but I think I'll go for Low Profile. For the second, I'll go for Close and Personal
For the name and nickname, I'll keep it the same. Also, I'm the highest ranking trooper on base, without ever lifting a finger.  ;D :P
