Bio: Andrew "Andy" Lincoln grew up in a family with a strong military tradition in rural Kentucky.  He and all three of his older brothers were named after presidents.  (George, John, and Theodore)  As expected, he enlisted in the Army as soon as he turned 18.  His natural skill with a rifle and the training his father had given him helped propel him forward in the ranks.  He was deployed into a Middle East conflict zone, where he served to the best of his ability.

He was out on patrol one day when his convoy came under attack.  Andy threw himself into battle, helping fight back the enemy, but he didn't see the grenade a retreating enemy tossed over his shoulder.  He woke up later in the field hospital with no lasting injuries, but the shrapnel had sliced him in several places, leaving his face and shoulders scarred.  His officer reassigned him to training duties as an attempt to keep his spirits up, but the officer misunderstood Andy.  He didn't want to be left behind; he wanted to fight.

When the XCOM project started, the officer finally realized what Andy was looking for.  He nominated him for a transfer, and he was deployed to XCOM HQ.

Toaster, you have 5 inventory spaces total. I would suggest filling the last two slots with a combo of ammo and grenades. Looks pretty good otherwise.

[Toaster]

Wouldn't a grenade put me over weight limit?  Or did I misread that?  (6 STR, 6 WT on the AR)

[mastahcheese]

I don't think we're following the weight limit just yet.
Just static 5 slots, for now.

[Blade Master Model 42]

No, so, for weight stuff, I think that's for number of GUNS you can carry. We only have the option of 1 right now anyway. I think.

The weight of a gun, minus your strength, also impedes your Attack Skill. No word on whether your weapon skill has any bearing on this as it does in normal FEF yet.

[Toaster]

Alrighty.  Another reload and a grenade it is.

I've built for a soldier concerned with hitting the target and not getting hit in return, so he'd take accuracy and mobility over versatility; if the grenade would penalize me, it'd go.

[FelixSparks]

I took two grenades, a flashbang, and a reload. I hope that's good enough... I'm hoping to be really quick, cause I like the double attack. Should I change to assault, or do we have enough of those?

[Toaster]

If the stimpack counts as a slot, that's actually six when you include the weapon.

[USEC_OFFICER]

We seem to have two assaults right now, so... It's up to you, I guess. Another medic would probably be better, but we do have one already so nobody is going to complain if you go with what class you want.

Also, is reaction fire in the game or not? Because otherwise it's going to be easy stunning aliens. We do have two officers after all, so that's potentially 4 people whaling on them twice per turn.

[FelixSparks]

I'm an Infantry right now... We can switch classes later, right? If so, I might see how the first battle goes, and swap to Assault if needed.

[Blade Master Model 42]

I think once you've picked a class, you're stuck, actually.

[Toaster]

We've got enough of a spread that I'd say pick whatever you like.

[FelixSparks]

I'll stick with this. We've got two infantry units, and I'd feel bad ditching my other infantry man. I'll just be the BEST INFANTRY DUDE EVER.

[GiglameshDespair]

Attacks inspire reaction fire, yeah.
