Raid on Clone Facility in Yemen [Success]
Extraction of Field operatives and recruits in North Sudan [Success]

Research:

>Alien Materials [Requires 10 Sci,10 Eng 100 Alien/Advent weapon fragment, 100 Alloy, 100 Elirium, 2 Mil, 1 Month] Our understandings of these alien materials were lost twenty years ago, to fully uncover their potential, we need to thoroughly research them, commander.

>Advent weapon fragments II [10 SCI, 10 ENG, 150 Advent weapon fragment, 1 Mil 2 weeks] Commander, we believe we can take a step forward, we can assemble these fragments to create weapons of our own. we will still use conventional ammo but its efficiency is ten folds better than our current arsenal

>Advent grunt autopsy [Requires 5 Sci, 500k, 3 Advent corpses, 1 week] : Commander, This advent regular soldier or grunt is one of our very common enemies in the battlefield. From what we have seen so far, they are carbon copy of each other. Still, it is a wonder of genetic modification.

>Advent armor [Requires 5 Sci, 5 Eng, 800k, 10 damaged armour OR 5 undamaged one, 10 days] The advent armour is quite resilient, commander. Studying its properties might help us in the future to create armours of our own.

>Advent Shield [20 Sci, 20 ENG, 20 Shield Shard 2 MIL, 2 weeks] Commander, While we can't make shields of our own, we can incorporate these shards into our scatter grenades. they will prove to be deadly to both light and heavy armored troops


>Inject Soliders with Z0-1 Serum? (10k+ per soldier)

What's up with that again? We passed their test and something something cya later

Workshop:

>Arm Skyranger [10 Engi, 300k, 5 LMG, 2 Rocket launcher, 1 week] i think i can rig the skyranger, commander. It is not an ideal answer but it is better than leaving big sky defenseless. Plus, our boys can use some help from the skies if things got too rough

>Build a training school [Requires at least 5 trained tactician OR 5 Simulation programs, 5 power 10 Engi, 1 Mil, 2 weeks] Let's face it commander, most of our men aren't even solider. They lack proper training. we could decrease our casualties by having more trained soldiers

>Damaged Advent Advanced processing unit [10 ENG, 750K, 1 Week] It might look like a burnt crisp but i have a supercomputer within my grasp, a crispy one...but we will get over it. Nothing has been fully fried.

>U.A.R Chip [500k, 10 ENG, 1 turret wreck]: for better targetting and/or automated Shiv/Raven/Skyranger

>Process (So far)
1 Damaged Advent armour= 20 Alien Alloy
1 Undamaged Advent armour= 50 Alien Alloy
1 Mech Wreck=100 Alloy
1 Turret wreck= 75 Alloy

You never felt happier as you entered the skyranger. You had some quality time with Ann. Your squad made sure that you both were interrupted. Life is too short to waste it on regrets.

"Central, This is big sky, we are approaching the site. I see lots of broken air parts down there, might be useful."

"Copy that Big Sky, we need to eliminate any hostiles first."

You have 8 squaddies with each of their respective abilities+ 2 Rookies. I suggest you edit the map with your choice of tactics.

-Scout can remain undetected for a long time before engaging, you can sent him to a certain spot for recon/setting an ambush
-Sniper can do the same (spotting within his/her Line of sight)
-You got two teams of your disposal

yes.

>>44690822
Is it possible to get the snipers up to a vantage point on one of the planes?

Scout goes forward and looks for enemy positions.
Sniper looks for nearby high ground where he will observe and hide. The rest stay in cover and wait for information to come in.

Okay, mad tactical skills.

Split into 3 groups. Team one sneaks to the east, team 2 sneaks to to flank on the west, and team 3 stays undercover to the north.

Skirmish begins with sniper attack on the captain, and then hail of fire from team 1 on the large group.

The large group will take cover against team 1 and retaliate.

Team 2 enters here and fires devastating attacks by attacking from their rear.

By this time the smaller alien group will arrive to attack team 2, which should be aware of their short time frame and hunker.

Team 3 waits for the small team to move past them, then repeat the same tactic and flank them from behind for massive damage.

Attack and bait > second team flanks > repeat

adding a grid would probably help
can't really drow right now, but the sniper should use the plane debris on the road for cover/vantage, the scout goes around and attacks from the passage between the two big covers (in bold)

The ambush was almost a success, When Malik took the shot at the captain, the bullet ricocheted into another soldier, this captain wore a white armour unlike the others, The captain was a woman, a small frail one. Three of the soldiers extended more of the damn shields around her as she collapsed into the ground.

"Strike team, we detect a large psionic enr-"

"MAKE THEM STOP, MAKE THEM STOOOOP!!!! AAARGH" Your team shivered on the ground as their minds were plagued by nightmares and fears which incapacitated them. you tasted some of it but it soon stopped. You felt a sharp pain in your head.

"Succumb...not to the weak! Lead your Kin to victory! The weak is calling for aid...."

>>44688954
There should be 8 Modded Armor, assuming that we lost the two from the last mission.
5 for the original team of Squaddies, and 5 for the Rookies.

>>44691689
Also disruptir grenades if we got them. The more chaps on the captain the better

Not much to do here. We're already in position, so just shoot and fire missiles.

The heaviest firepower goes to the advent captain, the rest fire at targets of opportunity.

>>44691664
>>44691684

What upgrades were available?

There's information overload on one side, and not enough prompts, alerts and "safeties" on the other. Plus some missing information base on last threads that wasn't mentioned at all. Some are new players or can't remember every detail.

It's problematic, and perhaps should be reviewed. If not by OP then by volunteers.

Despite the pain originating from the message, you struggled onwards, The other teams has dispatched the other advent soldiers quickly. A stray shot rendered Olga headless, She painted her comrades with her brain cells. there was little time for shock.

From the last encounter, you found that bullets are useless against these shields . Everyone lobbied their grenades against the helpless soldiers All of them died but the weak captain who had some sort of a psionic shield of her own, it took her a lot of strength to project it.

"YOU FUCKING WHORE!" With the butt of his rifle, Andrew hit her hard in the head destroying her communication device. She lied there weak, helpless and surrounded by your squad.

"This is for Olga..." Andrew pointed his gun at her head. He was about to shoot.

>>44692814
>>44692825
choose who will be promoted to what rank

Also Oleg is still undecided, he looks kind of an experienced soldier.
>>44692908
ayy

>>44692871
Excuse me but this is not your dad's super secret multinational strike force project. There are rules and guidelines. RESPECT the fucking bureaucracy. What would separate us from the animals, us from the aliens, if not bureaucracy?

>>44692937
Please automate promotions for us. I have no desire to potentially add screwups to a decision we're going to have a hard time independently evaulating.

>>44692927
It is mainly a title, just to make the soldier feel like he has accomplished something.

I can automate it in the futrue if it became much of a bother

>>44692972
Please automate

>>44692970
alright, will do.

>>44692972
The whole Squaddie system is supposed to be automated, with each soldier being made into the role that you have the least of.

But, that doesn't work here. It worked in XCOM because there were only Assault, Sniper, Heavy, and Support, and we could always hire more.

For this, we can't, because there are specialist jobs like Hacker, that require we go and find special resources.
Don't give in to populist pressure that only leads to even worse decisions.

>>44693044
No, don't automate promotions. There are specialist roles that we have to consider getting or not getting, that require special resources to effectively do their job, and automating it makes it more difficult for us to get what we need.

>>44693044
>Establish a contact in France

I think it would be good to space out our attacks. Too many attacks in a single locality will tip Advent off to our proximate location.

Also, did we smash that Advent air defense place?

>>44693044
Did we start the Advent Psi Captain autopsy?

What day is it currently, and how many days do we have left before the end of the month?

>>44693044
>Establish a contact in France
we know they're doing shady stuff there, we need more detail

>>44693044
How many more days until the advent project is completed?

>>44693083
I don't have an issue with setting promotions for specific roles, but trying to figure out when a soldier has earned enough EXP to be called a Sergeant/Lieutenant/etc is going to be a pain.
I'm open to any suggestions.

>>44693091

Maybe you should re-evaluate your choices there.

>>44693205
that means we can expect some air defense in the future.

>>44693061
>>44693083
so we keep this as it were, is that correct?

Oleg still needs to be promoted

>>44693229
Oh, so now it's not March 15, but March 18.
Because the mission that bagged us the Psi Advent Captain was on March 15.

Also, our current Funds should be: 1.1MIL

>>44693139
I agree with this. We can decide who gets what job, but actual rank should be automated.

>>44693242
Isn't the radar meant to help that project?

>>44693333
>>44693380
>750K
Yo, that's going to leave us with 350K for the rest of the month.
Are you sure about that? We haven't upgraded our soldier's weapons yet, or body armor for the new Rookies.

>>44693400
The radar project in Britain is meant to amplify the Surveillance Project.
Destroying the radar would be helpful, but it won't slow down the main project at all.

>>44693386
yes, i am keeping tap with each change, don't worry anon.

>>44693414
rookies rely on luck for surviving, we shouldn't give them the good stuff yet
also, we're contacting our buyer in the gray market, we'll get more cash from that

>>44693284
What's Oleg's stats? What proficiencies has he shown?
I assume he's suited to be a Sniper, but what about Ranger or one of the other new Classes?

>>44693438
also this. No project=Not so useful Radar
>>44693461
Great sniper, ambusher. He is a survivalist. has a mentality of his own. Not much of a team work guy

>>44693333
>>44693380
So i should do this, correct?

>>44693456
We have 1 Rookie left, and no idea when the next recruitment mission will come up.
Haven't you been paying attention to our losses?

>>44693505
I don't like it. It's going to end up with us losing more resources that we need and doesn't significantly help us get ready for the fight in France.

>>44693511
oh dang, that sucks.

>>44693505
Ey Vigilo, can we get a status update on our troops?

>>44693438
I assumed the radar would also give them increased air defense, and perhaps even warn them of our skyranger and Ravens. Removing it might make the actual mission easier. Mebbe.

>>44693575
Can't we get thoses 25 rookies from egypt?

>>44693590
Keep them there for a qrf

>>44693575
Your math is off, according to the information in the thread on the pastebins.

>start of thread
-1 Corporal
-7 Squaddie
-7 Rookie
-1 Undecided

-1 Rookie (death of Olga on mission)
-5 Rookies (setting up XCOM cell in France)

That's 6 Rookies we've used up.

>>44693590
we can if we want to. But contact are extremely vulnerable. They can be easily fucked

>>44693575
OK, next possible opportunity we get, I'm proposing we recruit 2-4 more rookies just in case of injuries knocking out some of our main team.
Granted, I'm assuming at least 4 for a reasonable expectation of mission completion.

>>44693628
Olga was a squaddie, not a rookie

>>44693628
-Olga wasn't a Rookie, she was a squaddie, she was already with us on a mission
-I keep the pastebin open constantly editing and updated it, what you read was something old.

I could be mistaken though.

>>44693505
If we are not going to start a project on this, what we will do now?

still waiting for a vote.

>>44693761
Let's go ahead with the first suggestion >>44693333
here, unless there are any sudden objections.

>>44693761
What day are we?

>>44693678
I'm checking the numbers from the previous thread, too.

When we got the 12 Rookies last thread, we had 5 Squaddies and no Rookies.
On the mission to the cloning facility, we took 5 Squaddies and 5 Rookies.
2 Rookies died, and 3 were promoted.
Smith also got promoted to Corporal.
That left 1 Corporal, 7 Squaddies, and 7 Rookies.

This thread's mission had us down 1 Squaddie, and we created a cell in France, so that's 5 less Rookies.

So
1 Corporal
6 Squaddies
2 Rookies
1 Undecided.

We need to promote Oleg to Squaddie at least.

>>44693761
U.A.R. chip

>>44693761
>>44693162

>>44693828
15th [Autopsy was done three days for that , i forgot to mention it in the events]
>>44693848
that is what i wrote in the pastebin.

Alright, he will be a grumpy squaddie


So:

1 U.A.R
1 Radar
1 Proccessing

should i roll to get on with it?

>>44693938
Shouldn't we be attacking france tonight then?

>>44693938
There's two processings
>>44693333
>>44693380

>>44694000
We need to.

>>44693938
>before

we can just attack them with Exalt now if we want

>>44694000
>>44694031
We have 15 days before the project goes online.

Before we attack we need to upgrade weapons, armor, and maybe wait for the Advent Armor project to finish before we spend any money.

>>44694000
we have a contact, let's see if he can bring us some info before it's too late

>>44694000
We also have the mercs in africa we can hire for the mission too

>>44693938
It's 3 days before the Advent Armor project is finished. I want to fast forward 3 days only.
I don't want to end up having sold the resources we need to get working armor for the attack.

>>44693938
Supporting this

hold on just a minute

[3 days has passed , Psi Autopsy, Advent Armour has been completed]

"Commander, we initial studies confirms my fears, this is but a weak prototype sent out on the field for a test run. Perhaps the Aliens wanted to breed a new strain of Advent clones....We should target any research facility to hinder their progress. I managed to develop some sort of a shield that will protect our soldiers against panic attacks."

Psi shield is now available

[Cont.]

"Commander, We cracked the secrets behind the Advent armour. we can make armours of our own now."

Advent Armour is now available

>>44694396
What does it take for each shield / armor?

>>44694435
>Psi shield? [80k per soldier, negate panic attacks, equipable]
>Advent Armour [100k, 2 damaged Advent armour or 200 Alloy per soldier]

>>44694396
>>44694469
Got any concrete figures for the Advent Armor?
Or at least, how much better it will protect our soldiers?
Because let's face it; we've killed plenty of Advent soldiers wearing Advent Armor.

>>44694469
I'd say let's get either 5 shields or 5 armors for our 5 regulars

>>44694396
As much as possible, give everyone psi shield and armor.

>>44694490
With bullets anons.

They don't have bullets.

It is lighter and more mobile than Base Armour

>>44694498
>>44694503
You should try to do the math for that. Make sure we have enough money for weapon upgrades as well.

>>44694553
Does the Psi Shield take up an item slot?
Or do we have the Tactical Webbing so we can have more than 1 item?

>>44694490
It can deflect Laser beams much better too.


we have 1.1 MIL
-80 Alloy Fragment=40 Alloy

>>44694597
Nope but it will expose soldier's head, it provides little protection against physical attacks.

>>44694635
>Nope but it will expose soldier's head
Does this mean an actual decrease in protection?
If so, we'll need to carefully consider if immunity to psi panic attacks is worth having reduced protection.

>>44694705
Given how our last fatality lost her head in an instant, but our entire squad was paralyzed from fear, I won't lose sleep with this trade.

>>44694635
5 Advent Armour
-500k, -10 damaged advent armor

>>44694705
This.

We can make 5 Advent armour with 500K and 10 damaged armour

>>44694743
anything else?

>>44694635
>>44694743
Five psi shields as well. If they sent this captain on some abandoned air port, they probably have one in important facilities as well.

We have in total 10 soldiers.
We're going to want to bring all of them with us on the mission in France.

We have currently 5 upgraded weapons, 8 Modded Body Armors.

To equip 10 soldiers with Advent Armor, we'd need 20 Advent Body Armor, 1MIL.
We have the money and the parts. But it will mean we only have 100K left for the month.


We can go 5 Advent Armor, 5 Psi Shields, 5 Weapon Upgrades.
That will cost 1.15MIL though.

>>44694796
>>44694796
we have 200k left now.

>>44694844
Okay then. Radar installation.

>>44694822

13 Advent armour

5 Advent armour (for our soldiers)
3 damaged Advent armour
200k

>>44694901
>Wait for certain opportunities around the globe

>>44694844
That's only enough for 4 Weapon Upgrades.
We'll want those improvements for this fight.

Lance Diaz - Assault
Assault Shotgun - Holo-Sight (improved AIM)

Andrew Sanders - Scout
Assault Carbine - Improved Scope

Oleg Nestor - Sniper
Sniper Rifle - Auto-Reload (allows two shots at same AIM if does not move)

Rookie 1
Assault Rifle - Recoil Compensation

>>44694870
>>44693485

>>44694955
should we go for broke?

>>44694901
Shouldn't we have 23 Damaged Advent Body Armor?
We started with 14 and then got 9 after the latest mission.

So we should have 13 left after making the 5 Advent Armors.

>>44694994
we spent 10 on advent armour anon.

Rolled 1 (1d2)

Is the Heavy limited to 1 rocket per mission, or could we bring all 7 and use them?

>>44696836
No he can take them all

How much would it cost to hire mercs for this ops? If they survive and did good on the mission we could just recruit them and if they refuse we could strike a deal to have them train our troops

>>44696903
