Nah, only after your first one dies.

Which is strangely appropriate in this case.

ITPXCOM: Chapter 1: Operation Spray 'n' Pray
« Reply #48 on: July 18, 2014, 04:58:14 pm »

Here, have an updoot!

As decided, our base would be called Outer Heaven, and be in North Africa.

Oh look, our first UFO! It's so tiny~

Also, it's going a little bit too fast for us.

It's small, so we need to deal with it ever so carefully... we wouldn't wanna-
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
And then I accidentally shot it down over water and it sunk.

Oh well. Easy points.

And besides, there'll probably be more UFOs by the time we get to the first-

Donkey asses.

It's even in Australia. Sorry, Yoink!

I'd already bought plenty of equipment for our first batch of beef, so I'll just have to send them.

Commencing operation Shit Eater Spray 'n' Pray!

To be continued, or something!

First mission in game is nighttime terror.  ;D
Might as well create new characters now folks.

The point of keeping the golems on fire isn't for the value of fire as a weapon. It's more to keep the golems functioning at a reasonable speed.
It was never a promise. It was a dirty lie, and you all knew that. You should all know by now that you can't trust a word I say.

Did you equip them with electroflares?

If yes, then there is a chance. Otherwise, 8 x-com operatives are not enough bodies.

Please, I don't understand the big fuss about night terror missions.

They've never given me trouble, and I've got two flares on each of the soldiers. We can do this! \o/

Rest in peace, Hardmeat. You were a damned fine soldier.

I thought I could do it. I did it a thousand times before.

WHY THE FUCK DID YOU GUYS MAKE ME PLAY ON VETERAN WHEN I HADN'T PLAYED EXPERIENCED? ;_;

I won't post the update yet, because I need you guys' input.

Everybody is dead except Bold Bigflank. What do I do? Attempt to retreat, or stay and fight? There's at least two floaters still here. Bold has an HE autocannon.

EDIT: I just want to reiterate how pissed off I am right now, since there's an extremely good chance that I will have negative points this month simply because my 3 guys who were doing very well all got blown up by a grenade, and then everyone else died because they had nobody to help them fight the reapers which can move like 20 spaces and still attack.

Or just plain restart and hope I don't get a terror mission as my first mission.

I killed a ton of aliens, too, but the "Hidden movement" still takes a long time, so there's still quite a few more, which makes me even more mad.

Yeah, might as well restart considering how horribly this first mission went.

I get what you mean though, when I first played it, I was dumb and decided to go veteran first time.

I lost everyone within minutes.

    Reboot the Kaos clan - Arthur/Athena at the lead.
    Also, if you equip my soldier with autocannon and incendiary, s/he doesn't electroflares or smoke grenades, s/he'll have a gun full of them.  Plus a spare magazine as well.
