Xcom: Terror From The Abandonia

[Danny252]

So, I decided to make the TFTD game myself :P

Note: If weapon does not work above water, soldier will be a rifleman on above water missions.
Note2: Due to large amount of equipment, max. men per ship is 10(ish). Each man is about 6 peices of equipment, 3/4 more if heavy weps, 3/4 more if nade runner. Unless heavy weps dont mind sacrificing pistols...

'Uh...' -Toxik

Now for some fun :evil:

Turn 1:
Fruit Pie Jones, Havell, Pigggy and Doubler leave the Transport and fan out
'OH HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!' -Havell
'What? an alien?' -Doubler
'I dunno. Theres just 2 shiny things looking at me...' -Havell
'Its an alien! Fire, Havell, Fire!' -Doubler

Havell only has time to unload a snap shot. He hits a rock...
http://danny252.cybton.com/TFTD/tactical_000.png
The alien takes a potshot back and hits Havell...
'Oh, noes! Havell, hes.. dead!' -Doubler
The alien then fires at Pigggy, but hits a rock like Havell...

Turn 2:
Blood Pigggy aims his launcher, fires, and hits the Triton.
'Oh, yah, great shot.' -Fruit Pie Jones
Reamus and a1s move out of the triton, but stay behind it. Doubler takes a look at the alien, but thinks better of it.

2 aliens take potshots at Pigggy, but both make nice craters.
'Oh yeah, go me!' -Pigggy
http://danny252.cybton.com/TFTD/tactical_001.png

Turn 3:
Piggy reloads and takes a potshot at an alien. he hits the bugger right where it hurts with a big fatass torpedo.
'Oh yeah, woot, whos the mastah!' -Pigggy
Doubler walks out and autoshoots at another alien. He hits the green scum in the stomach and he falls silently.
'Woohoo! I... We have avenged you, Havell!' -Doubler
Reamus goes for a walk and stops just before a huge green blob passed in front of him.
'Holy crap! That was CLOSE!' -Reamus
a1s and Fruit Pie Jones are nowhere near, and go for a walk together. Meanwhile swiss comes out to see what all the noise is about.

2 aliens take shots at Reamus, but miss due to his incredible missableliness.
http://danny252.cybton.com/TFTD/tactical_002.png

[Danny252]

Turn 4:
Reamus takes 3 shots at the first alien he saw, but due to his accuracy hits and kills on the first.
'Rock.' -Reamus
Doubler goes hunting for the other alien, but dosen't go far.
'Oh crap, he's right behind that rock...'
FPJ comes but dosen't have time to throw his grenades, so Pigggy decides to cover them both.
a1s goes to try and flank the alien while swiss goes to take a look at the charred remains of the 2 aliens that killed Havell
'Ooh...'

The alien Doubler was hunting reappeared and tried to shoot him.
'Oh no you bloody dont!' cries Pigggy as he fires his third torpedo, hitting the creature like before. It screams as it is engulfed in phosphourus.
http://danny252.cybton.com/TFTD/tactical_003.png

Turn 5:
Everyone apart fro FPJ starts to move towards the area they believe the UFO is in. FPJ scouts the bottom corner.
http://danny252.cybton.com/TFTD/tactical_004.png

Turn 6:
Reamus makes a mouve slightly south and sees a very pointy thing...
'Hey, guys, look what I found! The ship!' -Reamus
Everyone looks and starts walking, apart from FPJ, who checks out the bottom corner, again.

http://danny252.cybton.com/TFTD/tactical_005.png

Turn 7:
Everyone, even FPJ, moves in on the UFO. Doubler takes alook from a vantage point.
'Hey, these guys have ventilation!' -Doubler

Then an alien comes out...
'WAAARGH!' -FPJ
'AAARGGH!' -Doubler
'OH MY GOD!' -Reamus
'MOTHER!' -a1s
and shoots a1s...

http://danny252.cybton.com/TFTD/tactical_007.png

Turn 8:
'AVENNGE HIMM!' Cries Doubler as he runs towars the door. He stays quite far away, but the aliens comes out again..
'Crap...' And Doubler falls.

http://danny252.cybton.com/TFTD/tactical_008.png

[Danny252]

Turn 9/10: Reamus Falls, FPJ arms a grenade, but crouches, the alien shoots him, but he lives! Not even a fatal wound! In fact, he hit the ground.

Turn 11:
FPJ chucks his trusty proxy grenade.
'THATS FOR EVERYONE!' He cries, ducking for cover.
The grenade goes off, but the alien lives!
And there went Pigggy...

Turn 12:
swiss goes beserk, but hits noone, Peregy panics.

Turn 13: With an armed proximity grenade, FPJ panics. Peregy and EOF also do so.
'Crud.' -Swiss

Turn 14/15:
Swiss primes a grenade, panicks, and kills himself.

Turns 16-21:
Everyone regains control of themselves, and moves out.

Turn 22:
preregy saves the day! the evil door alien is dead!

http://danny252.cybton.com/TFTD/tactical_009.png

[Danny252]

Turn 23:
peregy moves to investigate the ufo, but they left the door open.
bang.
eof and toxik look at eachother, then walk cautiously fowards.

Turn 24/25:
'FIRE IN THE HOLE!' -Toxik
He throws a grenade in and covers his ears.

26:
The grenade fails, eof gets shot, Txik throws in a magnapack explosive.

27: Toxik blows himself up.

[Doubler]

Doubler falls.Ouch

[Fruit Pie Jones]

Everyone apart fro FPJ starts to move towards the area they believe the UFO is in. FPJ scouts the bottom corner.
[...]
Everyone looks and starts walking, apart from FPJ, who checks out the bottom corner, again.
Hey, I've seen enough alien movies to know that they always come from the top corner...and I don't want to be anywhere near there when that happens.

[Danny252]

I think we lost...
Still, plenty of cash left. Spare soldiers ready.

[Fruit Pie Jones]

Am I dead? I'm not entirely clear on that. Also, did I blow up Pigggy?

[Danny252]

Everyones dead. and the alien blew up pigggy
so, ressurections...
what a bad mission...

[Fruit Pie Jones]

That was a rather poor showing, I agree. Still, I think my death should have at least merited mention! I mean, after all the work I put into investigating the bottom corner!

[Danny252]

Oh well, check your new stats.
if I'd proxied the sub correctly...

[Danny252]

Warning! Airborne UFO detected! Launch Barracuda 1! Intercept! Barracuda 2, standby. Triton 2, standby. Aquanauts, standby.

[Danny252]

Turn 1:
The newly aqquired Colecanth scouts out the starting area.
'I call it.. the behind coverer.' -Havell
Once verified as quite clear, Reamus steps out. Havell also braves the water and Toxik stands at the door.

A door opens... somewhere..
http://danny252.cybton.com/TFTD/tactical_010.png

Turn 2:
Havell and Reamus move out, the AssCoverer covers their asses and Toxik and EOF step out.
More doors open.

Turn 3:
Everyone moves out, asses being covered, and swiss and a1s come out together.
'Wow, being ressurected is weird...' -swiss

Turn 4
'Hey! Who saw that alien?' -Someone
More moving, alien remaining elusive..
Until..

'behind COVERING WARNING. HOSTILE SIGHTED. DO NOT HAVE TIME TO RESPOND. HELP.' -Asscoverer

'What? there aint no hostile here. see? why I ca...' *thud*
'HAVELL IS DOWN! AGAIN!' -EOF
'Use cover!' -swiss

The alien takes a shot at the colecanth, misses, and goes back inside.

http://danny252.cybton.com/TFTD/tactical_011.png

[Blood-Pigggy]

Boy, you are getting us killed.

(I've already been killed, too)
:bleh:

[Danny252]

Turn 5:
a1s, EOF and swiss move forward undercover. the asscoverer moves for a better look.
The alien takes a potshot, but the asscoverer has good armour.

Turn 6:
The asscoverer takes a shot at the alien.
Everyone outside the sub moves in. Reamus readies a proxy but is too far away to throw it yet.
http://danny252.cybton.com/TFTD/tactical_012.png

Turn 7:
The alien tries to hit a1s, but misses, the asscoverer takes another shot, but the wall is too thick. reamus throws his pr0xynade correctly, and everyone hides.
'That alien is gonna be so fried...' -Reamus
KABOOM
WAAAAARGH
'I HIT THE BUGGER!'

Turn 8:
After kicking some serious alien behind, the moved towards the sub.
'They is gonna DIE!' -Reamus
Then.. THE ALIEN HAD BACKUP! His backup misses, but one man dies somehow! we shall avenge him...

[Danny252]

Turn 9:
Reamus chucks another grenade, not a proxy, but a 0 turn one, and prays. everyone hides, again, and the asscoverer waits.
The grenade dosen't help, the alien waits. It comes out and tries to hit the behind coverer and misses, it fires back, but misses, and amazingly fires again, and the missile goes though the doorway and up that aliens behind!
'OH YEAH! WE ROCK!' -a1a

http://danny252.cybton.com/TFTD/tactical_013.png

Turn 10
Everyone homes in on the downed sub, behind the coverer, Reamus readies a smoker, but waits. The alien is heard inside.

Turn 11
Reamus throws in the smoker. Toxik covers the one wall, EOF moves in to cover the other, when...
'I see him! DIE!' -EOF
He fires 3 shots, killing the bugger in 1.

Turn 12:
EOF and the coverer move in cautiously.
'I dont see em...'
Toxik moves in too.
'hmm...'

[Danny252]

Turn 13/14:
The men in the sub move out, and begin more searching. Noone seeing anything.
'I wonder where they are.. cough.. cough..' -Reamus
http://danny252.cybton.com/TFTD/tactical_014.png

[Fawfulhasfury]

I join. :D

[Blood-Pigggy]

You have to admit, I kicked some major alien booty in the first skirmish.
Death is me! But in the proccess I die alot!

[Abi79]

Recruit Abi79 wants to join, Sir ! :rifle: <aliens>

[ReamusLQ]

[Abi79]

Good luck, but don't forget that if someone dies Abi and Mats Jonson are ready to join X-Com. :cheers:

*Returns to X-Com Apocalypse and tries the 7th time to kill those cultists*

[Danny252]

Turn 15:
Everyone goes to investigate the blackness and the coverer sdoes its job.. sorta...
No alien sightings...

Turn 16:
EOF takes a vantage point
'Hey, I can see EVERYTHING from up here! Well, not the alien..
The men surround the only remaining building...

Turn 17
Everyone moves in and surrounds some more...
swiss chucks a grenade in to blast anything that comes out... but it isnt a proxy...

Turn 18
Reamus moves behind the coverer as it moves up to the door and waits... everyone else tenses...

[Danny252]

Turn 19:
Hey, Reamus, open the door, I think I saw something...' -EOF
Reamus opens the door, sees an alien, and runs, screaming
'ITS IN THERE! AAAARGH!'
The alien looks at him, astounded, then sees the coverer.
'FIRING MISSILE AT HOSTILE.' -Coverer
'Ohhh craaawp.' -Alien

http://danny252.cybton.com/TFTD/tactical_015.png

Turn 20:
'Hmm.. thats odd. I could swear.. ALIEN! ALIEN!' -swiss
He cries, seeing an alien with an awfully big gun, looking at him.
He fires 3 shots, and hits him on the first. Then swiss realises what he saw. a grenade! his second shot hits it, and it blows up without harming him. His third shot its aimed a the alien, for luck.

'We've finished researching the medikit.'

[Danny252]

Mission 3: Crete, terror site

Turn 1:
The coverer moves up a nearby hillside and sees an alien, but cannot shoot. Both Toxik and EOF take 3 shots, but they all miss. FPJ readies his cannon, then remembers it is underwater only.
'DAMMIT! EAT FLARE, ALIEN!' -FPJ
and chucks a flare...
Reamus has his proxy grenade ready, but cannot throw. Fawfulhasfury has no line of sight and cant fire either.

Civilians are heard getting beaten up.
http://danny252.cybton.com/TFTD/tactical_016.png

Turn 2:
Fawful runs up a hill, gets shot at, and runs back down.
'MOMMMYYY!' -Fawful
Reamus throws his proxy at the alien, paralysed by fear.
EOF throws a flare to try and reveal Fawful's attacker, but to no avail.

The nonmoving alien fires and misses the coverer. An alien fires from the window at Toxik, but fire is returned and he is hit, not killed.
Fawfuls attacker shows himself, and misses again.

Turn 3:
Fawful lets loose with his gun, firing 6 bullets at the alien who shot at him. 2 shots hit and kill him.
Toxik tries to persuade the alien to move, but he dosen't, he dies after 2 direct hits.
'Thats one ugly sonofa.. thing..' -Toxik
EOF retrieves his flare.
The coverer would have blasted the aliens hideyhole to hell, but it cant.. due to underwater weapon-ful-ness..

An alien enters the house next to EOF, Toxik and his friend fire som more, some civilian dies, somewhere.

Turn 4:
Toxik plants a grenade to blow up that goddamn aliens hidey hole.
EOF does the same.
'Hehehe.. die alien scum..'
Abi79 comes out to help with the attack and Reamus does.. stuff..
EOFs alien runs out to escape the grenade, gets shot at by Fawful, and runs inside again.
Toxik's alien tries to shoot the coverer, but to no avail.

[The Fifth Horseman]

Nice to see another running, but I think I'll skip this time.

[Danny252]

due to the incredibly high amount of death? LOL

[Danny252]

Turn 5:
EOF throws in a proxy grenade, but after he does, he gets shot down.
Toxik does the same, minus the getting shot down bit.
Without EOF, Fawful has to throw in a flare to see the house.
The coverer moves around a surviving civilian, and spots the house alien that EOF tried to get. It waits...
Abi backs up Fawful

EOF did not die in vain. The alien stupidly walks to the door and blows himself up.
The coverers civilian decides the coverer is nice cover...

http://danny252.cybton.com/TFTD/tactical_018.png

Turn 6:
Abi and Fawful move out slowly. The coverer does more hillclimbing.
Toxik wonders where his alien went to, but dosen't go in. He has to reload.

Toxik's alien wondered where he got to, and got blown up. Another alien makes a hole beside the coverer.

Turn 7:
The coverer, Abi, Fawful and Reamus close in on that aliens suspected posistion. Abi throws a flare.
Toxik turns, but sees an alien on the roof! He fires 4 shots, and mises miserably.
Peregy comes out to help, but cannot reach range.

Fire comes from all direcions a fawful attracts 2 missing shots and the Coverer, one.

Turn 8:
Toxik fires 6 shots, missing each time. Peregy apparently knocks the beast unconcious in one.
The coverer finds an alien, and fawful goes to look.
'I see it.. I cant hit it.. and I see.. oh god! 2 of them!' -Fawful
Reamus sets a 1 turn timer on his nades, and gets into a good posistion. Abi goes to help Fawful, but dosent fire.

The aliens throw something big at Reamus...
'GRENADE! THING!' -Reamus
He dies, still holding a primed grenade.
http://danny252.cybton.com/TFTD/tactical_019.png

[Danny252]

Turn 9:
Abi and Fawful try to take out the aliens, but both miss with 3 shots. peregy and Toxik come to help. The Coverer wants cover...
Reamus' grenade blows up..

Turn 10:
Fawful gets mad and fires 3 shots at an alien, hitting him twice. He tries hitting the other, but misses.
'ABI! SAVE ME!' -Fawful
So Abi comes to kick its behind.
Abi seems to mistake the dead alien for the live one, and hits it once. He misses 4 other times, but might have hit the alien once.
Gasp! Abi and awful dont have time to hide!
Toxik tries to hit it, he aims...
and misses by miles.

Turn 11:
Fawful takes an auto shot, but only has 1 bullet, and misses.
Abi fires a snap shot, hits, reloads, fires again, hits again, and kills the alien
'Oh yeah, whos da mastah!' -Abi79
'Think thats the lot?' -Fawful
'Well...'
'TARGET AQQUIRED. REQUESTING COVER FIRE.'
'Nope.'
peregy goes in, fires 3 shots, and hits once. Toxik tries to reach him, but cantt run that fast.

The alien hits the coverer and runs.

Turn 12:
peregy fires 4 times before his clip is empty. Toxik tries to get into firing posistion, but a possible 2nd alien fires at him.
'AARGH! RUN!' -Toxik
Abi fires 6 times, narrowly missing.. well.. everyone..
Fawful does the same.

The coverer takes 3 shots.
'She lives!' -peregy

[Danny252]

Turn 13:
Toxik takes 3 shots at the alien who hitn the coverer, and kills it with 1.
'eee!' -Toxik
The coverer finds a new alien, everyone moves in and sticks behind a hill.
Apart from Toxik.

The coverer is hit once more, and it gets blown up. Sort of.
It looks more melted.
http://danny252.cybton.com/TFTD/tactical_020.png

Turn 14
Toxik fires 6 shots, hitting the alien twice.
'DIE ALREADY!' -Toxik
Peregy fires 3 more, killing it with the first.
'WOOT!'

Turn 15:
Everyone moves out, trying to find the last alien. s.
'Im gonna go house hunting.' -peregy

Turn 16:
Everyone moves in.
'I see one! I see one!' -Abi

Why does my character alway kill himself in these games ... aaarrrgghhhh ...

:ranting:

Does anyone start a third XCom thread? I need a new chance. Damn!

[Tom Henrik]

You already have been resurected in the UFO thread ;)

[PrejudiceSucks]

Hey, could I please have a character on this? I believe you may be in the market for new recruits, so I'll chip in if you want.

A question - Why aren't you researching Guass weapons?

[ReamusLQ]

Geez...my guy isn't too bright. He can throw the grenade with amazing accuracy, but he sure can't time it right :ok:

[Danny252]

MORE CANNON FODDE... I mean.. more recruits.. yes.. recruits..
dammit where is this alien...

[Danny252]

To turn 26: Abi79 goes back downstairs and kicks an aliens behind, whom he finds. We work out that the last alien has made a civillian block a 1 cell wide passageway. The civilian dies at Fawfuls hands, Fawful goes in, drops a grenade, and BOOM.

I was wondering the same thing...

[Danny252]

Interrogation of a Live Gill Man Soldier commencing. Then onto Gauss..
Fawful, Abi79 and peregy are now Able Seamen (not listed). Fawful is in hospital for 28 days.
When did he get shot?
Rearranged the men on the sub.

[Danny252]

RANKS

[Danny252]

'Sir, the alien is not responding.'
'Fine, then. Its alive, though?'
'Yes, but it wont respond and Im not going i there to make it either.'
'Why not?'
*A stretcher is wheeled past with a scientist, moaning quietly*
'He went in with the alien, it beat him up so bad we thought he wouldnt get out. Then some bright spark remembered the containment field button.'
'Well, I want to go see this alien.'
'Yessir.'

*A short time later, in the containment room*
'So, this is him?'
'Yes. We think he's sleeping right now.'
'Can I speak to it?'
'We have made a sort of rudimentary translator from what our men have told us about their speech, but its mainly battle commands.'
'Oh, I see. give him a zap, wake him up.'
*The alien yelps as it is shocked*
'Good, he's definately allright. Well, call me when you make some translation progress.'

*2 days later*
'Sir! We've got their language. We found translations of our language within their computer memory. Its not complete, but hey. We can talk to it.'
'I must see this.'

*The containment room*
'Alien species, please talk to us.' *A scientist said over a microphone, a strange language was heard as it was translated*
'I'd happily do kill you instead.' *Came a computerised voice back*
'What?'
'Its not the best translator...'
'Tell us about yourself. Why do you come? Why do you attack? Where are you from?'
'Us your world. Not clean humans. Clean... men of gills. Clean world, men of gills. Die, dirt, DIE!' *the alien screamed this last word and then rammed into the wall of his cell*
'Ouch. Thats enough for today...'
'Well, keep studying him. He said he was of our world, and I cannot see many alterations, genetically, like the other aliens. Maybe he is of our world, as he says.'

[Danny252]

'Barracuda 2, divert from patrol intercept small UFO, maximum speed.'
'Yes, base. What size ship?'
'A small one, midget. See you later, then.'
'Yeah, seeya.'

*Later*
'We lost that one. Coming back.'
'Ok.'

*Later still*
'WARNING. UFO DETECTED. LAUNCH BARRACUDAS 2 AND 3 IMMEDIATELY.'

Destroyed 1 sub, lost another. I like patrolling, too.

[Danny252]

DOWNED SUB. DOWNED SUB. DISPATCH INVESTIGATION TEAM.

Turn 1:
'They call it the asscoverer Mark2. Its like the mark 1.. but.. uh.. here..' -swiss
'MOVING OUT.'
2 seconds later...
'ENEMY SPOTTED'
'That was fast.' -EOF
It fires, misses, and blocks the door.

The alien decides its not so fun to play with the coverer, and runs.

Turn 2:
The coverer unblocks the door, and fires at the alien. Kablub...
People start to exit and get into their teams. Abi, Reamus, EOF and Mats all leave.
http://danny252.cybton.com/TFTD/tactical_022.png

Turn 3:
People keep getting into teams and move out.

An alien with THE most fatass gun I've ever seen takes some shots at the AC but miss.

Turn 4:
The AC hits 2 enemies at one, and itself. It lives though.
Everyone moves out...

And we win :blink: LOL :Brain:
http://danny252.cybton.com/TFTD/geoscape_038.png

[Danny252]

TERROR ATTACK ON MIAMI!
DISPATCH TRITON-2!

http://danny252.cybton.com/TFTD/geoscape_039.png

Turn 1:
Again, the coverer moves out and sees the enemies right when its in the door, but its weapon is an underwater one, so it dosen't block it. Noone hits it.

The aliens nuke the hell out of everything in the area that is civilian.

And themselves.

Turn 2:
Reamus and the AC see 2 aliens. Reamus, in his uber 1337ness, hits an explosive barrel next to the pair and blow them sky high. Reamus is so gonna be the best officer here...
'Woah. Thats, like, y'know, AWESOME!' -Mats
Abi chucks a grenade next to another pair and ducks. EOF goes looking for some.
http://danny252.cybton.com/TFTD/tactical_023.png

Turn 3:
Mats sees an alien, but cant fire. Doubler tries to help, but cant see it. Neither can uberReamus. The AC makes a good shield though.
EOF is taken down by unknown forces.

Turn 4:
Doubler learns from uberReamus and hits a barrel. KABOOM.
'It went BOOM!' -Mats
Doubler then finds and kills EOFs assailant. Abi tries to see if EOF is ok.
The AC takes a look round some corners.
http://danny252.cybton.com/TFTD/tactical_024.png

[Abi79]

A terror mission. Brrrrrr... I'm scared

[Eagle of Fire]

Urrgh... Killed two times already... :blink:

I feel strange... This is a new body, again? :D

[Toxik]

this topic seems kinda dead..how that terror mission ended?

[Abi79]

This topic isn't dead while I live. I will travel through fire, over the mountains and past the computer viruses and ask Danny if he is going to update this. :Titan:

[Danny252]

ehh.. I think it is sorta dead.. due to my insane crappiness at TFTD..

[SupSuper]

LOL, want me to give it a shot? Just mail me the saved game :)

[Danny252]

Ill attach it.

[SupSuper]

Actually it's on the beginning of the mission, everyone safe inside. Unless that's where you want me to pick up from.

I believe we're seep enough in the wet stuff as it is, so you might as well start there.

[Danny252]

oh, I did leave it there. meh :P
oh yeah, Id just got to miami.

[SupSuper]

Well, since things are getting a bit pressing in the UFO game, I'm gonna take care of this one for a change. Boy I missed playing TFTD, always liked it more anyways :)

Turn 1:
The AC moves out and spots a Gilman inside a building, but since it can't fire at it (underwater weapon) Reamus heads out and takes care of it... after missing 5 shots.
'Damn, I thought i was never gonna hit it' -Reamus

The AC spots a Deep One next and EoF gets out of the ship to take it down, firing a shot which hits the wall and does... absolutely nothing!
'Well that was... interesting' -EoF

Abi heads out and fires at it, but misses. Same for Mats.
'Dammit!' -Mats

Turn 2:
The Deep One runs but is still on the AC's sight. Abi fires an aimed shot and kills it.
'It's pointless to run away' -Abi

The AC heads west to scout the area. Reamus heads east and spots a Gilman with his back turned to him.
'Ewww, that's an ugly sight' -Reamus
He aims his rifle and fires, but misses. The alien fires back but the shot just nearly hit Reamus.
'Wow, that was close' -Reamus
EoF points his gas cannon and blows the gilman out of the sky.
'Woohoo!' -EoF
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/tactical_000.png

[SupSuper]

Turn 3:
Two sonic pulsers are throwed around. One blows up a roof, another blows up an alien.
An alien comes out of a building, zaps Reamus and goes back in.
'GASP!' -EoF

None of the nearby soldiers have time to enter the building so they just stand guard hoping the alien will come out and then they'll blast it.
The AC keeps scouting around.

Turn 4:
The alien comes out to zap a civilian and EoF fires a gas round at it. Sadly, the civilian also dies in the process.
'I didn't like the way he looked at me, anyways' -EoF
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/tactical_001.png

Doubler heads out to the other side of the craft and spots a gilman, but no time to fire at it. The AC also spots another gilman but nobody nearby to kill it.

Turn 5:
The gilman fires at the AC but doesn't hit a single shot.

Doubler tries to kill the second gilman but ends up just missing, missing, missing, missing, missing and killing a civilian.
'Well that wasn't very smart' - FPJ :not_ok:
EoF takes care of the job pretty nicely though.
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/tactical_002.png

Abi tries to take a shot at the first gilman but misses, so the AC covers him.

[SupSuper]

Turn 6:
A gilman comes out of a building and fries poor EoF, heading back inside.

Abi heads towards another gilman. The gilman, seeing his impending doom heading for him, decides to just get it over with and zap the walls nearby, clearing the way for Abi's shot :roflol:
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/tactical_003.png

Turn 7:
Doubler heads for the gilman that killed EoF and unloads the rest of his clip onto him.
'Nobody messes with my teammates' -Doubler
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/tactical_004.png

[Blood-Pigggy]

Before I'm a freakin' recruit sitting back at the base doing nothing...

RESSURECT ME!

[Doubler]

I just had to get used to this suit, that's all.
Sorry civilian.

[SupSuper]

Turn 8:

The AC spots a Deep One running towards a building, but Abi guns it down.
'No alien escapes from me' -Abi
Doubler heads into the building next door and in the middle of all the smoke spots a gilman, which he immediatly kills after reloading his weapon.

There you go. Now did that seem so hard Danny? ;)

[Eagle of Fire]

I died again! Here are all my hopes completely dashed away from being ever high ranked... :cry:

Oh well, do I get to be resurected as a girl again? I didn't have time yet to ... ahem... "Try" this new body out... :whistle:

[Danny252]

LOL, I played that level and didnt savwe it. I believe we lost somewhere in the region of.. lots.. of people :P
BUT A CIVILIAN? OHMYGOD! WHO KILLS CIVILIANS?!

[Danny252]

and Supsuper, about post #1?

[Abi79]

I killed 2 or 3 aliens :party: , but didn't get promoted :not_ok:

[PrejudiceSucks]

Wait in the transport next time, then it's practically a dead cert.

[Abi79]

And I will not die that way. What a good ideea :kosta: :king: :kosta:

[SupSuper]

I'm not planning on taking over the TFTD game yet, at least not until I finish the UFO one, so you could take care of it in the meantime.

Tips:
- Don't move your soldiers much per turn so that they have TUs for reaction shots in case an alien suddenly pops up;
- Keep them well covered by scenario and other soldiers to back them up;
- Remember to right-click next to doors to open them so you won't get nasty surprises;
- You might consider replacing your AC with one that can fire above water, they're stronger than soldiers (and more expendable since they don't have ranks).

- If all of that doesn't work, well, try saving when things are going well and loading when things get too bad. You might consider it cheating but at least you won't lose so often. :P

[Danny252]

Ill have a go, again.


Sooner or later :P

[Abi79]

From the croud you can hear sooner, sooner

[Danny252]

not this weekend, crapload of homework (3 pieces for monday, 3 days at school.. LOL)
