Sorry for starting so late.
Last time, we:
>tried to take a floater supply ship by force
>got destroyed completely by A FUCKING ELEVATOR
>lost a Skyranger and 14 good units
>then we started raiding sectoid supply ships successfully
>everything's going all according to plan
>intel discovers an ayy base at Antartica
>we need an ayy commander alive
And now... time to get that ayy, preferably alive.
Other urls found in this thread:
By the way, Secundus commander has a perfect 100 score on PSI strenght, so we're using me to capture that commander.
Damn; power armors aren't helping today.
I almost shat my pants when I saw a chryssalid coming right at us, but Pious Liche one-shot it with a perfect reaction shot.
I really hate to raid snekmen bases, but at least we're not gonna see chryssalids ever after we're done with this place.
Maybe we can control this thing to scout the place.
IT BEGINS!
WEW LADDY
We ain't controlling anything with only 18 PSI skill, but an attempt was made.
And damn, there's a shitload of these horrible things in here.
4 shots and it's still alive. I'm getting scared.
Barkley had to step on the court to save us from this situation.
>accidentally went to the snake base instead of the sectoid one
I warned you about recon missions commander!!!
2 chryssalids reached the elevators.
gg no re
Well, that's it.
There goes our MVP.
are we winning?
We're trying to survive.
it can only get better!
We're fucked!
3 more to go.
kek
good luck with that
Don't you mean 6?
This side of the elevator is fucked.
This is not good
We cleaned the elevator from chryssalids, but the damage's done already.
The other team will turn the tide of this battle, r-right?
MJ will save us
Wew. that side of the elevator is so fucked up they even FOOTBALL'd it.
FOOTBALL!!!
UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
At least 2 of the people in there survived. Barely, but we can try to move out.
We can also try to mind control this fag and hopefully, it'll be carrying a stun bomb, which we'll use to capture the commander and maybe bail out of this horrid place.
On the good side, the alien Commander should be nerby now, maybe if you go in that hole with the snake holding the football you should be able to find it
Well, there's not a lot of chances to mind control whith only one month of psi training.
Let's get lawfuldickish out of the line of fire first, before we engage in anything else.
Nevermind; he was cornered and any move would result in a shitload of reaction shots. So we went all the way in and he killed 3 before going down like a champion.
We will always remember you, Lawfuldickish.
The football reached the units on the other elevator, We had to heal our asses with only one medkit because the other ones got blown up.
Did we just lost all our gear?
A lot of it.
Now there's 2 leaders and another chryssalid on that elevator. I wonder if we can take them out.
We've got the leaders, but we can't find the chyssalid. I'm incredibly afraid of what's gonna happen next turn.
I wonder how this mission is going to end...
Welp; we're getting annihilated in here.
It'll be fine. What can possible go wrong?
At least we're still getting the morale victory.
>xcom
>not xcom files
We're from the UN. We're here to help you.
Maybe we should try to panic them, instead of mind control them.
At least panic attacks build psi skill.
I don't want to risk Cirno, as there's still a chryssalid nearby, but we have to kill with whatever unit we have at our disposal now.
>7 dead already
What a start to todays thread
Jesus fucking hell; I almost jinx it.
I'll put Cirno back in the upper floor and never again go down.
I think that failed MC attacks will still give a bit of XP
Also distance affects the chances of success
Damn; at least he's still alive, but we're losing combat units quickly.
I hope they don't get both of us in this compromised place. But I had to save Liche.
What is going on
Cirno is the strongest! She will carry this mission by herself
Well... an attempt was made.
We're getting attacked from every side at this point. It's gonna be a miracle if we actually win this one.
How many left standing?
5 more, 2 of them are waiting on the elevator.
Our chances of success depend on this gambit. We're gonna breach the command center and hope the commander is still there to capture it.
That will devastate their morale and maybe they'll drop their weapons. And we'll get a commander ayy to probe.
We went in the alien base to capture their commander
Unfortunately, it is filled with chryssalids
We found a leader instead, but the commander probably's there, too.
There's only the leader there. That means we either killed the commander already or its still hidden somewhere else.
We don't need a fucking leader.
Do we have motion scanners?
We can use them to hold our ground in the command center
We're only finding cannon fodder at this point, so the commander's probably dead at this point.
doesn't the commander normally carry a blaster launcher?
Yeah, and we already were blasted by it.
That's why I believe the commander's already dead.
The survivors are cornering themselves to pass the turns. This isn't good at all, and we're almost at turn 20, when they'll know exactly where we are.
THEY'RE AFRAID
As we need to use every unit we have, I sent Cirno down the elevator. But not even hitting twice she was able to kill the snek, and now we can only hope she survives before we reach her with a medkit.
Damn, at least she's still alive
Komaeda is making a lot of work in here.
Nah, this mission is fucked. There's still 2 chryssalids out there. We have to abort before next turn comes, because next turn is turn 20, and chryssalids will make a beeline to our units that turn.
Wew; we're fucked either way. There's no way to get out now, so maybe I'll try to do some time with one unit and escape with the other.
Komaeda, please, don't waste this sacrifice and reach the elevator.
HAHAHAHA, we're totally fucked now!
Goddamit; Komaeda was short on energy, so he needs at least 2 more turns to be able to reach the elevator, bt there's 2 zombies tailing him.
Not even a miracle will save us now. We're getting another Skyranger destroyed.
Is this the daily mandated squad wipe
Cirno was already fucked. This just makes it official.
Komaeda helf off as much as he could, but only being able to walk 2 tiles per turn while a horde of zombies follow him was just too much.
There goes our game, because we're gonna lose by funding next month.
Maybe we can get the money from somewhere to not be on the red. We still have a chance.
Pity promotions, to keep the facade.
Just send in the next batch of rookies
Before training more rookies, we need to put a name on this new ship.
THIS IS WHAT THE V2 WAS FOR
last rAYYsort
Hatredcopter
Osama Express
At the very least, we can make the Avenger whenever we need it now.
Good, now we can lose 26 soldiers on every missions instead of just 14
Tlking about 14 soldiers, we need 14 names.
Hentai Protagonist
Meatshield
Slappy
evil stomper
Jane Doe aka the Soldier
Utsuho Reiuji
Hopefully she will get a blaster launcher
El Biliyin
Jerry
NiggerDigger
Supaidaman
>Snake base
>ever
that sure was fun
Delta 38 "Boss"
Beard
Shimakaze-kun
The Fortunate Son
Radical Larry
We're also probing some asses right now to avoid doing it later, because I'm starting to believe we're gonna lose if we don't rush things out.
We also need to train the rookies. Damn, it really hurts me we lost Komaeda. He had great stats.
A barn at our side. Classical.
Is GigaNigger up to bat?
Joey Fuckatolli
>tfw you get a triple kill with a HE
You know what to do commander, avenge him and everyone else!
There was 6 ayys in the barn. but we already learned our lesson and we leveled that fucking barn down before approaching it.
The last ones have to be here.
Yeah, there were only 2 there. And the rookies prevailed without casualties. Pretty good!
A lot of promotions to help us cope with the previous losses.
I swear to god, if they actually found us because we went to invade their fucking base...
We evaded it, and we also evaded a shitload of taxes and we're in the clear now.
We live another month to fight.
Tell me its not going to the base that has a diarrhea of a layout
They're pleased that we're thinning their populations so well
In the next batch of rookies, Chad Thundercock scored the highest, so he's probably gonna be our psi unit now.
Long live /fitlit/!
>ethereals
Jesus fucking christ. It fucking begins.
weeeeeew, you're really in trouble now commander
At this time, there's only one way to go. We HAVE to get one commander.
Now, do we raid once again the snek base, or do we go to the mindrape base?
We also can make this thing, but it's not really useful if we keep downing the retaliation UFOs.
Maybe we can win against sectoids
eventually the ethereal retaliation battleship will come for you too
with properly trained soldiers the snakebase is easier, but without them you are better off getting mind raped
or you could wait until a floater/muton base shows up
>ethereal
>alien infiltration
I swear, if they put a base in here...
Did we ever get to fight mutons this time?
>Ethereal Base Assaults
lol, just go capture the ethereal commander instead of the sectoids
SHOOT IT DOWN
dumb cirno
G-guys... I'm like, super scared right now.
Those things are fast, but the Firestorm can catch it easily
Oh wait! we don't have one!
Sorry for the wait, but I had to micro manage some ships, as there was also a retaliation ship going to America's base.
But we downed both of them, so we cool for the meantime.
We ain't gonna use these, but maybe we can pick them up from the floor as an improvised weapon in alien base missions.
What the hell did we sell to keep the bean counters off us?!
Damn, they know we're here. Now there's a chance we get to do an Ethereal base defense later.
>terror ship
>alien infiltration
Fucking hell. Maybe one of the nations already defected.
Yeah, it's ogre. Some asshole already backstabbed us.
It's all over now
Our only chanche is to go to Cydonia before they come to us
Let's do another training mission before going into an alien base again, because I really, REALLY want to rush Cydonia now.
We need to get that commander soon
2 barns nearby the ship. The adaptation is real.
Another squadwipe incoming
>barns again
Not even 3D explosions can help us now. But at least T-1000 is tanky enough to survive 3 plasma shots.
I had no medkits because we lost them on our last trip, so we need to finish the job before 3 turns.
God bless HE.
How does it even bleed? It's just made of liquid metal
Ricky Bobby killed the last 3. 2 of them with a single barrage.
PROMOTIONS
We're also doing these researches to pass time, because there's nothing left to do yet.
I'm having a deja vu, we get a couple of perfect missions without loses and then squadwipe
As we still don't have rookies experienced enough to hit anything in an alien base, we'll use a crutch in the meantime.
Well, that's interesting. Not important, but interesting.
We're passing time until we get our power suits ready.
You could focus Stun Launchers.
In the meantime, enjoy this LORE
We already have them.
Oh, god fucking dammit; if it lands, I ain't going nowhere nearby.
Dude alien weed lmao
at least they're not playing "computer games"
Fuck off, Ethereals. I ain't going nowhere near a sectopod today.
don't jinx it commander
you're just asking for an ethereal base assault
>Fuck off, Ethereals. I ain't going nowhere near a sectopod today.
Brave commanders last words before his base got invaded by ethereals and sectopods
The time is now. Do we invade the sectoid base, that's full to the brim with Cyberdisks and at least 6 psy-ops mindfucking us every turn, or do we go to the snek base, which is full to the brim with Chryssalids and... well, Chryssalids are more than enough.
I'm gonna leave for half an hour, and if when I come back, I'll check what of the options won, and then I'll go in a suicide mission in there.
Choose wisely.
Lids are much more controllable than horrible mind control
Never mind, I don't need to leave, so I'll go to whatever base was the first reply.
snek base
Sectoid base
REVENGE, WIPE OUT THE CHRYSALID MENACE
Time for a round 2 with the sneks. Let's fucking go.
REVENGE
Looks like the game isn't giving us any breaks. We should take off the kid gloves and send in a platoon of ESPers and mindrape them.
How do I get good at openxcomm
Keep fighting
You learn most of your lessons the hard way
Since it's pretty realistic compared to modern games, it's mostly about common sense than learning about abstract mechanics
If we can keep this hovertank alive, it's gonna bait some chryssalids into trying to attack it, but they can't hit it if it's floating. Too bad it can only be done in certain rooms, rooms that we need to clear first. Still, it's a good scout that doesn't leaves a zombie when killed.
Losing people is normal, sometimes you have to make sacrifices, use all the tools the game gives you
smoke grenades are OP, HE is amazing, all you need is plasma and PSI is so broken it makes the game boring thus many people choose not to use it or nerf it some way or another
wojack actually got one chryssalid with a reaction shot. Crisis averted for now.
This other side is mostly sneks, so we're not so crippled yet.
Gotta get rid of them to let the tank scout more.
And GiggaNigger kills the last one nearby, so we can keep scouting.
only quads can stop him!
Sweet
I hate when they casually stroll right into your units, even without knowing we're here. But at least this one wandered for enough turns to be ineffective at the end.
In the battle of B.O.W.s, our model reigns for now.
Hot damn; Chad just shot an ayy and another one of its friends in the dark. They lined up perfectly for the shot, lol.
This is going TOO well
What's that idiot doing up there? Is it gonna bite people by jumping on them or what?
Waiting for the blaster launcher shot.
I don't usually kill with the tank, but I'll make an exception when it comes to chryssalids.
>the virgin HE vs the chad autofire
>implying people will complain when you use the tank
Now I see why they never gave Mr. X a weapon, like with Nemesis. The motherfucker would be unstoppable if they did.
The tank is an incredible scout, and I'm so glad we got one for this mission.
None died yet?
Nope. And the best thing is...
We're not gonna get FOOTBALL'd anytime soon.
This is getting pretty easy.
Oh, shit. Jinxed it.
This is the complete opposite of the last mission, clearly we brought the competent soldiers this time
Damn, they're pretty hardy, but at least they didn't showered us with reactions hots, so we cool.
Tank scouts...
And we snipe.
see what happens when you move forward, without smoke blocking YOUR vision?
suddenltly the ayys are going to have an hard time ambushing you
Everyone on their side is panicking, so we're just gonna pick them up before they can recover. Also, we're ready to breach the command center and kidnap the commander.
This is what happens when you advance without smoke, unfortunately.
Damn, Chad was a pretty good unit.
Damn; a hidden chryssalid bit 4 times our tank. A sham, because the tank was almost in that room where it can float.
RIP Tank, best unit ever.
This is the saddest loss so far ngl
honestly I've never used any of the craft besides interceptors, skyrangers, and avengers. By the time you can start producing shit like the firestorm you may as well just wait a few days to get the avenger.
That's optimal, because those crafts have a shitload of downtime to recharge fuel, and they're powered by elerium, which isn't as sparce as one may think, unless you can raid supply ships often.
Chris knows how to handle horrible monsters pretty well.
RIP Chad, he was our best psi-op too
Fucking hell; a chryssalid got out of nowhere, opened the door and fucked us in the ass raw.
This was going way too smooth. It makes sense from a karmic point of view.
How quickly the tide turns!
DOWNHILL
Remind yourself that overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer.
The situation might get out of control, because we're in a really closed space and can't gun down the chryssalid without scouting for it.
To make things worse, we can't FOOTBALL anyone until we research this shit.
And there's still some ayys with weapons, so this will be a rough endgame.
At least one of the chryssalids is down. I've yet to find the one that downed our tank.
>tfw too brainlet to use the blaster launcher without reading the instruction from the scientists
FOOTBALL
HUTT HUTT HUTT HUTT HUTT HUTT HUTT HUTT HUTT HUTT HUTT HUTT HUTT HUTT HUTT HUTT HUTT HUTT HUTT HUTT HUTT HUTT HUTT HUTT HUTT HUTT HUTT HUTT HUTT HUTT HUTT HUTT HUTT HUTT HUTT HUTT HUTT HUTT HUTT HUTT HUTT HUTT HUTT HUTT HUTT HUTT HUTT HUTT HUTT HUTT
Apparently, you can reaction shoot a zombie and make it a chryssalid without renovating its TUs. Interesting.
Can you imagine the horror of the alternative though?
Maybe OpenXcom fixed that bullshit
I was already giving up un life when it happened. Thank God that wasn't the case.
There's a shitload of activity near the command center. I hope we're only finding sneks there.
that's an openxcom fix or an extended fix, i distinctly remember that reaction shooting a zombie would make a lid with full tu's that would rape you in the same turn
Hmmm... this one was a leader, so the chance we killed the commander is pretty high. There's a chance it's also on the other elevator, so let's pray for that, or the mission will be a waste.
Yeah, I also remember that, that's why I was so fucking scared. But hey, the most bullshit we can get out of, the better the game for me.
Found the commander; it's outside of our reach for now, but next turn I'll put it to sleep.
>SOON
THIS IS OUR CHANCHE!
Last zombie down. There's still a chryssalid around, and that gives me the creeps.
God fucking dammit; whenever I want to get near the commander corner, there's something cockblocking me from reaching it.
PICHUUUNN!!!
Here's the last chryssalid. Maybe we can breath now.
Never mind. Fucking idiots missed every shot and now we have a chryssalid AND a zombie out there.
>Last Chryssalid
you know, you shouldn't assume those things, thats how you get surprise anal egg delivery from a sneaky one
>wojack ruined everything
just like this board
I swear to god, if you miss this one...
Well, that thakes care of the chryssalid and the zombie. Now, to get that last armed snek and capture the commander.
Here's the motherfucker that kept gating us from reaching the commander. Now we only need to get either the prod or the sleeping pills.
...Fucking hell. I thing that guy we killed was the fucking commander.
We did this all for fucking nothing.
Only one fucking promotion for that shitshow. I don't even know why we're here.
>see picture
>mfw reading the post
should have drugged him instead
And there's 2 battleships in our neighborhood. There's a new base near us, no doubt.
Now, here's the thing: I don't want to make this day a complete waste of time, so what if we invade the fucking sectoid base? We're getting a commander one way or the other today.
We have our MVP back, so what do you say?
LET'S GO!
We also will be able to use FOOTBALLs now.
Well, its kinda late here commander, good luck getting mind raped
We also need 6 new names, before we go back again.
Bob The Builder
Drunk Irishman
3 fucking abductors at the same time. This shit's getting pretty weird.
Lina Inverse
Hong Meiling
Moot
Remilia Scarlet
DIO Brando
Al Bundy
End of the month came before I noticed.
Of course the fucking UK had to Earthxit. Fucking shit.
We can also see that Beard and Hentai Protagonist are the best of the batch, with a really low chance to get mindflayed in our next mission.
>UK joins the aliens just before the Cydonia assault
like clockwork
EARTHXIT MEANS EARTHXIT
>Utsuho with only 2 PSI
dumb birdbrain!
Sorry for the delay in the attack. I forgot we still needed to finish the blaster launcher research.
there should be a mod where we can invade countries that defected
Knowing them it was likely an autosign after the PM couldn't get the Commons to agree on anything.
CUT MY LIFE INTO PIECES
THIS IS MY LAST RAYYSORT
We can commend them for actually going for a no-deal instead of pussying out at the last minute and delaying everything
Nice to see them waiting for us with open arms.
Wel, none of these idiots was able to shoot straight, so expect a lot of midrape next turn.
Got out scott-free. Well, they shot our tank 4 times, but other than that, nothing too gruesome.
>can't even kill the sectoid in front of them
I can already see the dozens of "ROOKIE HAS BEEN KILLED"
We can do it, just aim like you're not fucking rookies, please.
They finally got serious and we're breathing a little bit.
Sup there, cousin?
The explosion also killed a camping ayy, lol.
Those fags really like the high ground.
Let's hope it wasn't the commander
Don't worry, the commander has to be in a special room, and that was only a room packed with 5 cyberdisks and some camping ayys.
IT AIN'T ME
NIIIIIIIIIICE
Our first psi catch.
Time to CHEW ASS
AWW YISS!
It didn't actually helped. But hey, at least now we can do that shit.
We can also disable the blaster launcher ayys.
We got 2 for one here. There was a fucking idiot behind the first one.
Nice. I noticed it was shooting outside of the command center, so we really have to be very careful now when soothing random ayys if we wanna prod the commander.
Do you have stun guns
I think this can be the one. Let's hit it with a sleeping pill.
Did you really expected the commanders to be in command room? they usually move away from there
I expect them to be at least nearby.
We're getting every leader out, because motherfuckers have FOOTBALL launchers.
Found it. Now we just make it sleep and we can call this mission a success.
Here goes the longshot.
JACKPOT
Now to lug him out of there
nice
inb4 a cyberdisk starts camping his body
AYYYYYYYYYYY
Now we were only cleaning. This is the last ayy, and it has no weapon.
We fucking did it! Told you we were getting a commander today.
Maybe tomorrow we will even go to Cydonia at this rate! Good night, everyone. We did a fine-ass job.
Nice work. Goodnight Commander.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!!
Now get your ass to Mars!
>they took alien porn
watch out for mutons and ethernals
What happened to the 40k commander?
