Interesting, I was playing X-Com using the Dark Heresy system, rather than D20. Works rather nicely, with wounds and stats.

Might I be the Interceptor pilot? All Avalanche for me!

NOW ACCEPTING ONE MORE INTERCEPTOR PILOT.
 The shadowy man sat barely illuminated at a bus stop in Washington. He wore a long brown trenchcoat and a black fedora. A huge man in a black suit and tie walked up and talked to him.
" Sir, I'm going to have to ask you to leave. "

The mysterious man replied. " I'm here about the invaders. You know what I'm talking about. The other man was speechless. " Take me to the UN. Now. "
The suited man complied.

The diplomats were openly in panic. 3 747s had been shot down by UFOS last night. They all stopped when the man in a trenchcoat walked on stage and bellowed " I CAN KILL THEM " They all stopped and stared.  He slipped a VCR into the huge screen. It showed an advanced Interceptor shooting the alien UFO with glowing streaks of cannon fire. It was blown to pieces. " All I need is funding and we can beat them. 10 soldiers, GIGN, Spetznaz, Delta Force, SAS I don't care. I can beat them. " They all murmered in agreement.

Vote on first base location, name, and any use for 3 mil.

First base should be somewhere in Central Europe. It should be called AEX-1 as in Alien Extermination Unit -1.

We must research and we also should buy ourselves light sticks.

God DAMN I love this game!

Nah, we need to protect as many countries as possible with our first base. Central Europe is good as it protects all of Europe as well as parts of Russia, Africa and part of asia.

I say we buy light sticks, research and most importantly GUNS AND AMMO. Big rockets boyz, BIG RAWKETS.

ALso we need a tank really soon as that will be the first thing to go out of the skyranger and it is super effective in game. Survivability increase is tremendous.

We should also set up production as soon as we can because starting from like middle game or earlier, government funding won't be enough.

I'd recommend one intercepter with two Avalanches, and one with two stingray's, for smaller craft. Also a few more scientists.

I support Central Europe, and the purchase of explosives.  Researching better weaponry is a priority to start with.

HMR stands for Hazardous Materials Requisition, not Horrible Massive Ruination, though I can understand how one could get confused.
