i have gotten through the first ground mission. i had to mulligan after an errant supposedly aimed HE shot that took out half the team >.< i will work on writing it out and hope to have something posted by tomorrow

[RAM]

Is there some way to choose your soldiers starting stats? Or do you just have to sell all the ones you don't want...

[Heron TSG]

I'm fine with grenades.

@Cthulhu - Running shoes make great flavor text.

[warhammer651]

name:Argatson
favorite equipment:Heavy weapons. The more Dakka, the better.
character desc/blurb: He joined up with X-Com after his hometown was destroyed by aliens. He managed to stay alive by killing one alien and using his gun.

Base location: US, they are the largest funder
Research: Laser weapons until we get laser rifles.

RAM - not really unless you whip out an editor and cheat. also you cant choose the stats of anyone you hire either. x-com likes to give you lots of psi susceptible cowards with no strength

barbarossa - i agree with the running shoes. not so sure about the psychic vampire cowboy

argatson - we already placed the first base, its in the US but we went for med kits instead of lazer weapons right off the bat.

i will make a post in a bit about the pre battle goings on as well as get out a few more stat sheets for those i have missed

[cganya]

here are the three character sheets i missed, please ignore the mission and kill stats ^.^;

first month so far
purchased additional stuff, sold other stuff and bought a few more soldiers and scientists. practically ran out of money

detected first ufo, sent interceptor but was unable to catch it, second ufo appeared while first interceptor was out, dispatched second interceptor and shot

down ufo over the pacific ocean off the west coast of mexico

new recruits arrived along with 10 more scientists

tank arrived and was fitted into skyranger

second general storage center was constructed

another small ufo detected and shot down

skyranger arrived that same night

mulligan, unspeakably bad ("aimed" HE shot killed half of team)

tank spotted a grey just outside the sky ranger, spartan stepped out and fired, unable to hit the grey

heyridden barbarossa stepped out and fired repeatedly with his pistol at the grey, downing it on the second shot

the members of the team began settings flares in the area as it was a moonless night, couldent see past their faces.

the tank managed to spot another alien in an orchard of trees

tauminshin fired off two round towards the orchard but completely missed

everyone fired towards the orchard but it was too far away for their weapons to be accurate

cerapa even managed to sock it to our own tank, thankfully it only ruined the paint job

the order was called in to let the tank take the shot, it's missle flew true and destroyed the grey along with the flare in the orchard

Mr. Apples and RAM 1 went towards the ufo to prepare a breach

suddenly, an alien appears in the field next to the orchard and throws an object towards Myroc! it falls short and before anyone can move it explodes,

killing the alien that threw it.

RAM 1 and Mr. Apples breach the ufo but find only another grey corpse. the team search the area and once satisfied that the aliens had been dispatched,

they called in the clean up crew.

there was not much of the ship left though.

the next morning another small ufo appeared over the southern states, we sent an interceptor but it only landed 1 solid salvo, imediatly after i dispatched

the second interceptor but it landed before it was intercepted, i sent in the skyranger hopeing to get to it before it took off again

finished constructing the additional small radar facility

the skyranger landed right next to the ufo, the team hoped that this mission would go as well as the last

[Mephansteras]

We're always interested in LPs! Just post and we'll follow along!

[Ampersand]

Name: Roll Fizzlebeef
Equipment: Laser Pistol with inconsistent laser colors

Description: Screams a lot while firing wildly with utter disregard for whether or not he actually hits anything or not.

[cganya]

noted amperstand, once i get home and get some free time i'll add you to my notes. to be honest thats one reason i like lazer weapons. can just sit back and blast a building to peices without risking someone al la trigun's opening scene

writing this up makes me notice how painfully little i know about the military and it's lingo ^.^;

[Itnetlolor]

Will there happen to be any incidents regarding tanks being modified zambonies and/or golf carts which despite having electrical motors, explode like Pintos; and team members dying and a moment/scene change later be inexplicably alive again?

[RAM]

Oh yes, definitely still interested in the LP.

Woohoo, I'm brave! At least compared to the cowards I had to share the ride in with...

Yeah, laser weapons are great, I love the unlimited ammo bit, you can just blast away for days with no regard for how many rounds you have fired. I just wish that you could bring in the ship-mounted lasers to open up extra points of access on the enemy ships.

[Heron TSG]

Huzzah! I killed a grey!

((Do stats increase as you get more experience?))
