How much HE you think is enough to fuel a number of Firestorms? I tried a Firestorm, it catched and downed a Suply ship, wich previously used to outrun my interceptors and got coky, but the firestorm also ATE my HE at base 1. I have some 2600 units between all my bases I think...

If you mean E-115..2600 is way more than enough to play the entire game.

ahhh good then. I am set. I also asked this because lately I have neglected going after small scouts that have been crash landed by my scouts, a bit tired of cleaning up for just a couple of grays or floaters, and the latest one didn't even had any HE. Thanks.

E-115 right. Don't even know WHY I put HE, pif. Thanks anyway. Sorry all for the bad english. k:

I just started new game, will play without cheating. :karate:

Well, done 4 missions so far, and had one terror site (high alien activity on the other side of the globe :angry: ) Need more time to build a base, as I'm building it in secure way. (only one building has contact with hangar)

This going to be a long play, as I will not allow any of my soldiers to die.

Death is part of the game; the only way your soldiers never die is either though unbelievable luck or reloading a lot, which is cheating. In my previous campaign, I got hammered hard in my first couple of months, sometimes walking away from a Terror Site victory with only 2 troops left. I gave up trying to kamikaze and even spotter-sniping teams aren't going to survive all the time.. hence my boring habit to simply find a nice spot to camp. Like just outside a UFO door on either side of it, or in the green rooms of alien bases. =)

Try something like this to start up quickly:

HHXXXX
HHXXXX
GALXXX
XRXXXX
XXXXXX
XXXXXX

H = Hanger
G = Stores
A = Lift
L = Living Quarters
R = Radar/Hyperwave

Take out the stores and living quarters as you build back.

In 26 days you should have this:

HHXXXX
HHXXXX
XAXXXX
LRGXXX
XXXXXX
XXXXXX

SO far I did not have to reload. But as game progress it will require so.

Interesting part on last night terror site. First alien was looking othe way, so my soldier came to one space away and shoot at him from close. After that I was able to spot all of them, and kill them from far away. They killed 2 humans.

I just don't like to train new soldiers over and over. After I'm done with this, I might start another one, without saving.

There is only one one connection between Hangar and Access lift, and first after it I build General Store, as it takes only 10 days. Soon as it's done I add 2 more buildings. This way I can add 2 more hangers if I have to, and I can expend base more then if I start close to the side.

Myself I prefer build my base so 3 hangars in a line (on the bottom of space),then acesslift and then base...
