The following has been lost due to a failed save. So...treat it as a training exercise or the like. Sorry, folks.

We have 541 wealth to use. Any suggestions from you guys? We could hire some more fighters, which could be good. We could also see about expanding our base a bit. Build a Foundry, perhaps. We could also hire some additional troops to expand the roster options a bit.

Foundry sounds good, but I think we should try and get XCOM's African fighter contingent expanded. Can't let the aliens win the air battles so easily...

Make me a shotgun assault with grenades, please. You didn't blow up nearly enough walls that last go.

Also, ow, I'm out 17 days? Damn.

Yeah, go for more fighters. Also, we should think about which continent we want to expand into. North America is good I think. So build some sattelites and some fighters for there.

Go random

Here's hoping for infantry.

I vote we start heading for that steam to build a generator.

What loadouts do your fighters have?

Right now the fighters are 2 Avalanche, 2 Stingray.

North America is a good second continent. One thing to keep in mind with Long War is that the more Continents you have, the harder it is to keep up with the aliens in the air war. So I'd suggest either rushing NA to get its bonus as soon as possible or just sticking with Africa for a bit until we have some upgrades to our fighters. However, we'd need at least two more satellite uplinks to get the bandwidth needed for 3 more satellites, so we'd need a good bit more power for that.


EDIT: ARRRRRGH!!! I somehow forgot to save after all of that last night. Sorry, guys, I'm going to have to redo things. Which means that things, especially soldier upgrades, might be quite different. I'll hopefully get some time to play today and I'll let you know how it goes.

Well, can't argue with the circumstances, I guess. Blow lots of shit up this time.

Long War is buggy, so I don't do Ironman to avoid an unrecoverable game.

No idea. Pretty sure it's the first time I've ever done that. I didn't even remember to save at the start of that battle, which is what I normally do. Dead tired from the 10 mile hike up a mountain I did that day, I guess.

I was going to vote Europe, where did we end up with? I vote working on whatever is favoured by the base bonus...
