digits posts up while everyone else takes positions and tosses a frag grenade at the redshirt, pinning him down



no no no no


i forgot who died here, it all happened so fast but it was one of the rifle duders also kif is scared, this is worse than loving mosquitos in papua new guinea


seshosho returns fire and hits the guy outfront of the ufo and then gets brained by the redshirt, who was suppressed and had a pistol. take a moment to think on that



kif though suppressed manages to blast that fucker by the ufo, somehow i didn't cap this but digits blew up the redshirt the turn before then moved in on the blue shirt who retreated around the corner and hosed his poo poo up



we won


but twas it worth it though

its gonna be a depressing flight home

put me in or dont idk

You are Pvt Silver Alicorn, a Spetsnaz operative whose been issued a riot shield, a pistol, and some grenades. Apparently these things aren't laser proof but laser resistant so you should be able to take a shot. Anime gently caress Pillow couldn't.

You are Pvt Smokey The Gay Bear, seemingly Bobby The Rookie's long lost cousin if Bobby did a tour in the New Zealand Rangers. You have tons of grenades, C4, and a shotgun.

I don't have high hopes for me, but I'll try anyway.

You are Pvt Contra Calculus, an Italian sniper from some regiment I can't pronounce nor ever heard of. Snipers seem to have a good survival rate as do assaults judging by digits last performance so you should be good.


And its about time cause we got another UFO.





we shoot this nerd down easily via auto resolve and head on back home to rearm/refuel but the UFO keeps landing (which means we can't bomb him) and it flies off before the charlie can get there. Which if you aren't careful will shoot down your helicopter and you'll lose a bunch of soldiers.

gently caress this guy for real

our interceptors have been renamed after some of our fallen to remember their sacrifices

Hey I just realized I went a couple of days without researching poo poo so I reloaded. It means the soldiers I previously named won't be arriving by the time we hit the next UFO (got a second chance and splashed it). So forgive me for that, I'll rename your dudes and get them back in when I can.

I'm gonna start over cause some weird poo poo happened when a guy upstairs who shouldn't have been able to shoot THROUGH the bottom of the floor or something killed 2 more soldiers. That and I need to play more carefully. So STARTING OVER AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED. From the top.

sure, also I'll put the rest of you in as soon as the rookies arrive. The selection at the beginning of the game is variable. Everyone is a corporal but some are slow as gently caress time unit wise or have some other defect. They are technically better than rookies but whatever. Anyway have some screenshots, we're about to do a ufo.

Somethings missing though, it just ain't right.

troops fan out in search of dudes

found one



anime gently caress pillow dies again in videogames, big duck equals goose kills the alien who shot him


please dont kill one of my guys


rip


we won


gimme the loot


Here's how our base is looking. in 4 days we'll have more living space for soldiers/support staff, room for 2 more jets, and in 10 days we'll have missile defense batteries online, an additional workshop, more radar coverage, and a medical center to get our wounded back out faster. Since our guys are literally wearing coveralls that offer absolutely no protection a shot will likely kill you outright. Only the shield guys are protected and then only for a shot or two tops.


Also in 9 days we'll have a base in panama to lock down the americas.

So we bagged us a scout ship.





Anime Cum Pillow, no relation to Anime gently caress Pillow, received moderate damage during this engagement. The Taint Reaper is being dispatched to the crash site immediately to secure it.

I'm going to lay down for a bit before I actually do this mission. later.

edit: while you guys were flying in this popped up, im gonna research alien plasma pistols now so we get some actual body armor and then laser weapons.

Pretty similar but its improved the formula in some ways. Also not often but quite a few times there will be someone in view of the ramp. I have 2 snipers and a machinegunner at the edge for this reason and its usually a free kill. Terror Missions are rough poo poo though, in that case you can get killed going off the ramp. Thankfully thats what the tank is for.
