Housing and stocks have room for 10 persons and basic equipment.

Last chance before the invasion, must decide where the first base. As a man of war, pilots, scientists, engineers, please log on to your.

I do not mean to be rude, but I cannot tell what the instructions are trying to convey. The theme, X-COM, could be done in a very fun way. However I cannot figure out if it will be about a squad of soldiers, managing a base, or something else. If someone could just clarify that for me, that would be great.

Those who is a soldier, a driver, a scientist or engineer. Some of the fighting at the front, while other technology certification and construction of a fool will be. There is only a minimal base management.

Everything is translated into a computer for best description.

... This was like a good idea at the time, I thought.

The kitchenette mold free, you move on to the pantry. it's nasty in there. The bacon is grazing on the lettuce. The ham is having an illicit affair with the prime rib, The potatoes see all, know all. A rat in boxer shorts smoking a foul smelling cigar is banging on a cabinet shouting about rent money.

Translating through a computer only makes the sentences very confusing. I am curious as to why it is necessary.

How would we get supplies into the Arctic easily?

Because it's amusing and helps transmit that this is not a very serious or well-thought-out game.

How would we get supplies into the Arctic easily?
The power of handwaving and relying on this not being a terribly serious game.

Besides, the bigger issue would be radar coverage. Supply shipments don't care about location in any XCOM video game I've heard of, while they all care about detection and interception range.

In short I am being silly because is silly game.

So sitting perfectly still on the Skyranger, waiting to salvage the plane when everyone else dies.
