So what's the current unit look like?

Also LC you are basically selling this game to me

I'll take a screenshot of the roster next time I'm on.

It's also important to note that I am writing fluff into this to make it more interesting to read for you guys. Personally I feel like having me type out that I made A B and C unit do X Y and Z is a lot less interesting than writing it out as if each one of you have your own agency.

This game is a turn based tactical RPG that can be downright unforgiving and we're starting to reach the point where Sep7 people are going to be kicking the bucket.

This is really the only reason most people signed their names up for doing your dirty work LC.

We wanna eat popcorn and watch the fireworks. And then congratulate the survivors.

I'm barely getting everyone out alive right now. The last mission I did (which I still need to write up) had one rookie die and everyone except for Azure come out gravely wounded.

I actually did this a couple days ago so I don't remember much about what happened. This is my best attempt to reconstruct what transpired.

Mission 13: Trouble in Mexico

Shortly after setting up shop in New Brazil a distress call came from Mexico. Not wanting to abandon our south of the border allies we flew back up to rescue them from certain destruction.

The leader of this rescue team was headed by Das. Eager to test out the new mag cannons, he brought Big Boss along with him. Azure, Ender, Ushan, and a random recruit padded out the rest of the squad.

The team was dropped off on to of a plateau and quickly set up to survey the village below. Sensing a trap Das sent the rookie down to spring it. As soon as their boots hit the dirt below multiple advent sprung from the buildings to gun him down. The rookie quickly dove into cover as the squad below opened fire. After the third one fell do their gunfire the ground below them shook as a berserker ran out from the dark intending to turn the rookie into a bloody paste tanking every bullet that hit its body. Right as the creature raised its massive fist to crush the rookie the familiar sound of Azure's mag pistol rang out and the body of the beast flung itself over the building.

[The science team will be looking into what exactly caused her mag pistol project enough force to do this, hopefully it's something that can be replicated in the future and mass produced so as to become a standard issue weapon for every xcom agent]

The rest of the battle continued with the rookie drawing out enemy squads and the rest of the team shooting them as they moved in to engage. After a long battle the team emerged victorious at the cost of the rookies life and everyone but Azure being heavily wounded.

Mission Success

Mission 15: Blacksite Demolition

With the success of the guerrilla op command decided it was time to take out the blacksite that resided in the jungles of what was formally known as Colombia. The team they assembled consisted of Das, Ender, Bacon, Neko, Azure, and Tru.

Not wanting to take on this heavily fortified installation Ender and Tru were sent in opposite directions to circle around the base and sneak their way in while the rest of the squad hid itself in the trees on the ridge above. While Tru was able to successfully sneak his way around the side and into the compounds perimeter Ender on the other hand found herself stuck under some brush as a patrol of Advent sat mere inches away from her hiding place. The rest of the team moved into over watch to protect Ender in the event she was found. However just as Tru was about to slip into the main building a patrol of vipers crossed into the vicinity of Ender and immediately picked up her scent. Ender instinctively moved to the side narrowly dodging the vipers tounge and scrambled for a better position as the rest of the squad opened fire to cover her.

The firefight on the other end of the compound put the opfor on high alert causing Tru to need to run back into a more advantagous position in order to take on the Advent lancer and officer that had just emerged from the building. He immediately gunned down the lancer as it poked its head around the cover and attempted to reposition further back for better cover but took a mag round to the side when crossing over the open terrain.

A loud boom sounded throughout the jungle. Having slaughtered their enemy and lost the element of stealth Bacon decided it would be best to take a more direct route to the objective and blow a hole in the wall. The Advent officers momentary pause from this gave Tru the time he needed to squeeze of a burst of fire into its chest and put it down for good. Tru wasn't out of the woods yet however for an Advent shielder took to the guard tower and a Muton emerged from the building to face him. By a stroke of luck the grenade Das used on the story below to kill the sole remaining soldier in the lab collapsed the ceiling and brought the shielder in the guard tower to the floor below. Tru turned his attention to the charging Muton and emptied his weapon into it. When all hope seemed lost for him two shots rang out and the beast slumped against the adjacent container.


As if sensing that Tru was in trouble she made her way to the roof to save him and after verifying that the Muton was indeed dead with another shot she took off with Tru through the jungle back to the evac point as Neko set up the bomb and other alien and advent patrols began to stream back to the compound.



With seconds on the clock and gunfire chasing them everyone was able to make it to the evac point and escape as the compound below them erupted into a brilliant orange flame.
