Never thought I'd say this, but I'm starting to wish I'd let that burrow finish. Beast dens are bae, but 10 more bunks would justify the Turtle (or fill out the workshop).
But wishes ain't fishes. Can't wait on the dream of large barracks, gotta use what we've got. That means another barracks, and... euch, the Blowfish. We'll need those underwater missions for plastic.
Just gotta follow the green codex - be invincible and grow steadily. Play it safe. As long as our dogs can protect our base, and we can pay our brainers, we're unstoppable.
More dakka pls. And we can make blunderbusses- blunderbi? But while they're like 4 shotguns strapped together, they're still not awesome against good armor.
Uh
pls go
no bully
Ratman described his "rusty blade" until he had an accident, very sad.
Enough planning, time for an actual fight... Though probably still a cakewalk. And good weather. Swimsuit time, rookies, you'll *earn* that warrior armor on my crew!
I go ahead and use the aircar, since the blowfish would be overkill and slow. And I don't want to lug the gear over.
Oh no bad doggos ;_;
...how did you miss that!? Warriors my butt. Fall back, next advance!
Salad Dog gets it done, sets up overwatch against another down the street.
Oh that's convenient
Firing line works fine, confused doggos mostly mill back and forth training reaction fire. ;_;
One tries to sneak up behind but our doggo warns us, we ambush and win easily. As expected, some much needed basic training.
Plus two government agents! And their snacks.
Aaand a stapler? Good dog, I guess
Some may call this madness, but I call it security.
Doomed farm... Hrmmm. On the one hand, getting chewed up by chaingunners. On the other hand, I want their chainguns. Worth a visit, at least.
Spent turn 1 just stacking up properly, letting the foes tire themselves out.
Aha, tricksy chaingunner down there. Good dog. Sunny goes out and puts down the shotgunner while doggo takes cover.
Lost track of the chaingunner while edging up the sides of the building, but doggo takes down a soldier like a ninja (apparently soldiers get shotguns too sometimes, weird).
Oops this one was hiding behind a tree, doggo missed him. Sunny managed to wound him and get to wrestling range...
Wasn't enough, she got shot unconscious. Doggo went back and finished the soldier, but gotta get a medic to her - meanwhile the chaingunner struck from the darkness and OHKO'd Munchin Shell, damn! I wasn't expecting that from such range and behind a fence, or a one-hit kill, but alright.
Exhausted doggo prepares to buy time for Sky to heal Sunny
Oh dammit how did he sneak back THERE?? Or are there 2? Crap crap
Okay he tried to steal the ship but realized it was a Blowfish. Salad ran in and put him down.
There *is* another one in the darkness, Rising Badger got hurt bad but still up. Falling back to cover, but having trouble breathing.
Rash Cap got a nice reaction kill in that lettuce field, then this sarge around the corner tried to melee her.
Shoots him dead, then that OTHER one in the cabbage patch, then- oh good she found the chaingunner *kneels and prays*
Wow she took a lot of shots. RIP Rash.
Dammit I got three bandages on Sunny but she bled out anyway. Doggo took a shotgun blast. This is getting bad.
Three bogeys destroy Sky's cover as they advance, nevermind I'm pretty sure she was completely concealed. Fortunately she's fine, and one of them dies from another's shotgun. This was her peeking out to get a look, she took cover again.
Frick they move fast! Glad he advanced on us though, he only got one burst off.
Sky is having a bad day. She got another kill on one that flanked from the north, and then, though, and then yet another on a sarge to the south. She's bleeding out quick though, I was hoping that would end the mission.
Everyone's too exhausted to move, but I'm ferrying the medkit up to her. When two chuckleheads wound the gal with the medkit through a window and tight corner. Fine, let's end this!!
i hate corners so gdmn much
Okay got him down, but there's at least another. Sky passes out. Aha, back at the ship of course, another soldier.
pleeeease work... nope, there's more.
oh gdmit how did y'all not seem him THERE?
Salad spins, kneels, and gets off an amazing snapshot! And he goes down!
...BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE FML
Another moves out of cover, Salad plugs him TOO, but there's. still. more.
Sky dies in Risin's arms, 5TU short of getting a bandage. Risin's bleeding out too, but we patch her up.
Three left: Salad (Amazing MVP), Risin', and Honorable Mugs who carried the medkit. I could fall back but I don't want to abandon our dead. Or the loot they died for. Besides, we must be sooo close.
Sky gets a reaction shot through that window, wow. Not enough to kill but wounds- WAIT
FRICK ME, THEY GET GRENADE LAUNCHERS?
He's down from massed reaction fire, grenade hit the roof overahead, BUT. THERE'S. MORE.
On the plus side they're nearby, and shot Sky with some sort of SMG. Can't fricken see them though!
DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE - killed one, other knocks her unconscious with melee. Alright!
Honorable Mugs has gone berserk! Screams about big guts, kills him dead!
THERE'S MOOOOOORE
I would use the medkit to get Sky back up, but I have no idea where I dropped it. why hasn't bughunt mode triggered.
Okay it's turn 35 now. I managed to walk Risin and Honorable back to the ship for... I don't know what for. I didn't bring beer or grog. Might as well grab fresh weapons, but the scary thing is I'm *pretty* sure the last enemy is stuck behind a wall. The "enemy movement" phase is going very fast. This sucks.
Oh boy, I was stacked up in the ship letting stamina recharge, and they both went insane and sprinted outside without their equipment. That's... that's great.
Alright you derps, start dragging loot inside I guess-
w-wait what was that?? That was an enemy, right?! Where was that??
...Did an enemy stand back up with no weapon? Doom enemies don't surrender, I bet! Hot DAMN I just gotta grab some guns and hunt it down!
OH FUCK IT'S ARMED ahahahaha ;_;
there goes Risin. Honorable throws down her gun in frustration.
pick it up pick it up - okay she did but threw it down again.
cheeky motherfugger snuck up and hit her in the back, but she's still up. You're gonna have a bad day.
THANK FUCK
THANK YOU
THAT SUCKED
Okay so lessons learned:
Don't fight dark ones at night, duh, they have dark vision and use lots of fire attacks that light you up
Keep a grog on the ship, maybe some beers
DON'T FIGHT DARK ONES AT NIGHT
Oof it's only the 6th XD Sorry, I was constantly sure it was the last enemy. I don't plan on taking on another fight that tough this turn. It could not have been any closer.
also sorry if I swore or caps'd too much, got a stomach thing happening and also bughunting sux. Particularly at night with no stamina regen to speak of
