Spoiler: Neblime Being Useful (click to show/hide)

See that little hole on the wall? He hit that.

Spoiler: Neblime Being Not Useful (click to show/hide)

Guess who's in the picture.

Spoiler: Kaladin Reacting to the Moment (click to show/hide)

Moments before the Thin Man ceased living.

Spoiler: Kaladin Solving Problems (click to show/hide)

She saved Wittaker, who was on the second floor and was flanked.

Spoiler: Wittaker's Promotions (click to show/hide)

First one: Damn good ground (increased accuracy when you have a height advantage
Second one: Ranger (+1 damage to primary weapon)
Third one: Holo Targeting (targeted enemy has -10 evasion.)
Pick one.

There are no images from the third engagement, just imagine everyone dying and panicking and you have a pretty good idea.

Casualties:
Neblime, Margrave, a couple of redshirts.

Have you been using my guy at all?

[Ashsaber]

-moghopper
He needs to get out of the hospital first.

@mog: Fatigue + Wounds and healing = long time between deployments.

@Ash: I've never done Long War, but I almost always found it more beneficial to dash survivors to the evac point, than to half their movement to use their ability. Also, it's been awhile, but I thought that the aliens kept reinforcing so long as the survivor was in play.
Also also, needs more smoke grenades. (Opening of last mission was perfect situation for one.)

[Ashsaber]

-n9103
Yeah, I figured in retrospect I was going too heavily into how I normally play XCOM (too few 'nades).
I thought about dashing the guy to the evac as well, but the last time I tried that (this wasn't the first recording) it went even worse for him.
Aliens will reinforce for a few set waves (if memory serves only when the waves finish is the stage actually considered complete).

[n9103]

That sucks. Guess I'd be soundly spanked if I got into LW.

Hope you feel better, and looking forward to future tales of struggle!

In vanilla, I'm pretty sure the aliens spawn as you move the VIP. As he reaches certain points they spawn. They could have changed it in long war though...

[Margrave]

Farewell Walter the Wizard. He died as he lived...getting flanked?

Anyways glad he died well.
Okay glad he died.
...okay glad he shot aliums ded at certain points and really I can't argue against that.

[Ashsaber]

He died as he lived: Acting as a (dodgy) sponge for others.

Unfortunately, the spirit of the Giant Sponge was not with him, and he could do only so much with a spine.

[moghopper]

Hey, I'm the highest ranking soldier still breathing! Dibs on being an officer!

[Solarflare]

I am tied with someone else for second highest kills! HYPE!   

[n9103]

I'm one of the originals and still alive! Yee-Haww! 

[hector13]

I managed to not kill something at point blank range with a shotgun! With one health though.

Now I'm in hospital for a month.

[Ashsaber]

So as it turns out trying to play Long War while tired is a really good way to get burnt out on it.

Next episode shall happen, but...it'll take a little.
