Welcome Dear Boy

[Mantis]

Excellent. That's the exact level of super po-faced flamboyant campness that I was hoping for.

[Sly Boots]

It's a shame you guys can't hear the soundtrack I'm playing to. I selected the alternative "XCOM UFO Defence" score, and it's the most outrageously campy 80s rock thing I've ever heard. It's wonderful, and with all the macho on display it's at the point of going full Commando. We're at peak Arnie, basically.

[Snowy]

This had to happen.

Made this a sticky so people can see it more easily.

Sorry you weren't available for active duty yet for this one, Dj, but it should be for the next mission (you're about three in-game days away). In truth it would have been nice to have you as the stand-in was, well, not up to par honestly.

You had a much easier first retaliation mission than mine by the look of things. I didn't have any NPC troops to help me with Advent, and I was stuck advancing up a road with cover spaced so far apart (aside from vehicles which I usually refuse to hide behind given their tendency to explode) that I had to use both actions to move between, and no bloody snipers because they were both tired. I think I managed to save two civilians because it took me so long to move carefully.

That's the scenario I was more worried about facing, especially early on with a less than optimal squad.

[DjchunKfunK]

That's OK sly, I'll let others enter the meat grinder first.

[Mantis]

100% shot accuracy boyos. They don't call him 'Deadeye' for nothing.

[Sly Boots]

Quick note to say that I've reached the point where I want to get another specialist on the books, to rotate with Jez. That will mean having two of each of the four classes, which I think is a good number for now.

I've got someone in the training booth to get up to speed, but does anyone else fancy taking on that mantle once they're out? Maturin? Wrathbone?

Pick solitaire for god sake man!!1!
