I liked mexican hat xcom.

Can't spell sombrero or get close enough for a spell checker? Or that might be projecting, since I can't ether so I always have to Google mexican hat every time I need to spell it.

I could certainly add sombreros to aliens that fly up from the south.

Also I want you guys to know that I have some sickness or something and I am having issues concentrating. So most likely that will be the only update today even though I was trying for two.

Posting to follow. I don't know much about this game, so I'm in the same boat as you, but your updates have been hilariously entertaining. It seems dwarves aren't the only ones with bad marksmanship!

There was only one NERV in NGE, right?

Based on that I'm forced to go with Omega. Besides, it reminds me of the cool character from Planescape.

No, Nerv had additional bases in Germany and two in America.

Anyway. The only difference in reality is that a couple more nations joined the ones happy with me so I have about 200k extra to kick around with.

Anyway, it looks like Omega won.

Coming up: Terror down under and bandido aliens.

February First: 1999

To deal with the increased alien activity in Australia I have ordered a new base to be built in the northern reaches of the area. This is the first step in bringing the war to the aliens instead of just reacting to what they throw at us. This is the first step in taking back our world.

God awfully expensive though.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

It will have to start much smaller then our current base, but hopefully it will soon grow into a base that strikes true terror into the hearts of aliens everywhere.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

February Second: 1999

I got news today. The aliens have for the first time launched a large scale assault on humans. Melbourne, Australia is under attack.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I ordered the sky ranger out with the squad. Hopefully this first real test for them will be successful. Unfortunately Sargent Sirus is still injured and will be unable to go.

As soon as we touched down and opened the door Mormota spotted a alien hiding in the shadows.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Unfortunately he would be unable to shoot at it without blocking the exit of the rest of the troops, so he rolled down the ramp and turned to the left, immediately spotting a strange new breed of alien. It was purple and flying.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Mormota took a shot at it, unfortunately he missed and the shot went wide.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The alien responded with two shots from it's strange weapons, hitting the tank and causing it to blow up. Slaying Mormota instantly.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Shinji stepped into the ruins of what once was his friend, open firing on the alien. After two shots it went down, letting lose a horrid death scream.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Hexedy went to his position outside the ship, unfortunately this gathered the attention of the alien in the shadows, which opened fire on him, mowing him down is a hail of hot plasma.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Euch-R-JAK-1 moved up to the front of the craft and opened fire on the alien in the shadows. One of his shots got lucky and hit it, killing it and causing it to fall to the ground.

As Thranx left the craft he spotted another flying purple alien with it's back turned to him. He opened fire on the sucker but missed all his shots.

Luckily Kilroy was quick to come up behind Thranx and quickly killed the alien in a round of laser fire.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Sir Thomas left the plane and, after taking a few steps forward, was shot at by yet another floating alien. Luckily Pennywise was there to take it down with a few shots from her rifle.

Thranx walked forward and was shot by a alien, although gravely wounded he was still standing. Kilroy responded by quickly killing the alien scum.

Another alien was spotted to the south, and despite a hail of gunfire from Shinji, Jacen-02, and DinosaurusRex_x it was unharmed.

As Stone Cold was walking forward to deal with it another alien cowardly shot at him from the side, sending a bolt of burning plasma though his body. He responded with a harsh stare to the alien that would dare attack him. The alien died.

Unfortunately Shinji was quickly shot down by the alien he failed to kill before. But that was the least of our issues as a new type of large monster was relived.
Lucky for us it seemed that this alien was not immune to Stone Cold.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Still, we could tell we would have a fight on our hands.

Between Jacen-02 and DinosaurusRex_x another alien monster was taken down.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

A alien popped out of a warehouse. And that was the end of Jacen-02.
Another alien came in from the south and attacked DinosaurusRex_x. And that was the end of that alien.

As Euch-R-JAK-1 walked around a corner a shot rang out, and he fell into the dirt. Sir Thomas shot a rocket (as opposed to his standard issue rifle...) at where the shot came from. Unfortunitly it seemed that he was unable to get any alien in the blast.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

A few shots barely missed DinosaurusRex_x, so he went into a tactical retreat to hide behind a corner.

Oh fuck! A alien right next to Sir Thomas! He took aim at it, but missed. Shit.

Oh god no. A alien killed another guy. I don't even remember who that was. Shit shit shit. DinosaurusRex_x took it down. I'm pretty sure it was Kilroy. Fuck.
A alien came from a warehouse and put a shot into Stone Cold. Finally killing him.

Oh fuck. DinosaurusRex_x walked though a door and there was like two aliens on the other side. His gun is unloaded.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Shit. Sir Thomas shot at a alien and got a good hit. But it did not die.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

DinosaurusRex_x is down. It did something with it's mind to him. He just... Collapsed and died.

Man.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

FUCK YOU

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Fuck. A alien came out and killed Thranx. Although he was able to shoot it first. The only one left is Pennywise.

Pennywise managed to take down the alien that killed Thranx. But we know that there is at least one more flying alien and one more monster. At least.

A monster came towards Pennywise. Although she tried to empty her clip into it it managed to reach he and killed her with one bite.

There are less photos per actions this update. Because really the ninth dead alien is not as exciting as the first. So a lot of stuff is just let to the imagination.

Don't worry, what you just described is fairly typical for the first terror mission.   :P

Bet right now everyone else wishes they came in six-packs.

Foiled by no ammos and a lack of stun rods.

You should be like Stone Cold and kill aliens with harsh glares.

Except for the part where he died.

I wish to be resurrected as Kilroy the 15th!

Also, if you face snake men be on guard, listen very carefully when it's their turn. Just pray to whatever god you worship that there aren't any chryssilids. If you see a chryssilid, stop whatever you are doing and kill it, just one can slaughter your entire team, and turn them into MORE chrysilids. And I always use Laser weapons because they don't use ammo. so focus on making as many of them as needed to equip a team.
