hi

i think we're good

>>44882650
hello anon.

five minutes and we will start.

Strangely enough i think this timing is perfect for anons in the U.S

forgot my trip.

>>44882696
Add 2 Hand Grenades to Derek.
We're going in hard and LOKI-1 can provide extra smoke.

>>44882696
Doesn't Field Medic get a Medkit?
Not the nanite medikits, but a regular one?

"Strike team, be advised, the hostile forces have deployed more of these disruptors in the field. We have no solid into as of right now, proceed with caution. Our target is confirmed to be inside the studio..."

>tactic+roll


>>44882818
yes but it is mostly useless
>>44882781
Alright.

>>44882887
solid info about the hostile forces as of right now.

Rolled 20 (1d100)

>>44882887
Damn, a recon drone would be really nice right now.

Let's have Derek pop smoke to cover everyone as we move into the building in the upper right. Carefully sneak into position to have Oleg get a visual inside the distortion field using his anti-distortion field goggles.
Use smoke as needed from LOKI-1 and Derek to cover our approach. Try not to overdo it, the smoke might alert the defenders.

>>44883018
yeesh

any other vote?

Rolled 83 (1d100)

>>44882887
place a sniper on the roofs of the north and west buildings, Oleg should be able to see trough the field and guide the others thanks to his neural nexus (and the tagging thing)
ambush our other troops behind the western building

>>44883126
Shouldn't we pop smoke immediately in case we get seen? That seemed to be the case a lot of the time before.

Also, sending just a sniper out to one building could be dangerous. There might be Gulpers around.

>>44883082
You remember that we had all of the soldiers take the alkaline serum, right?

>>44883317
for the gulpers we have the serum, so it might be okay(ish?)
and the thing is that the smoke itself would look suspicious and alert their attention

>>44883317
yes.

>>44883377
The serum just slows down the digestion process, we still need another soldier to kill the Gulper and get our guy out.

OP, how many rounds will the serum give us to rescue a man?

>>44883423
not rounds, mere minutes if not less instead of seconds

>>44883476
So, we still need to get the rescue done within 3-4 turns. Or less?

>>44883535
varies, according to the situation. maybe less, maybe more

After sniping the two disruptors. Jabar blew the western wall for, surprisingly enough, there were only advent soldier with the exception of two captains, one was protecting the target while the other one was calling for reinforcements

>>44883703
>tactic+roll

red dot= target.

Rolled 1 (1d100)

>>44883703
Adhira and Malik take out the Captain calling for help. Nadia fire rockets at that shield captain.
Oleg snipe the Advent grunts.
Jabar fire scatter grenades at the groups of Advent, and Derek throw at ones he doesn't target.
Use cover and GOLIATH-2 to get out of enemy fire.

>>44883843
>1
wow

Rolled 77 (1d100)

>>44883703
have a sniper take down the captain calling for reinforcements, and the other one one of the grunts about to flank the soldier behind the shiv
the others should just focus on carnage and fire explosives on the shield cluster

>>44883843
well, fuck.

>>44883868
This shows the flaw in your system. A single failure means multiple failures because you have a single roll count for a group of 10, not just 1 soldier.

>>44884032
well, i wait for better rolls, like anon's 77. But i am willing to hear better suggestions for rolling.

>>44884098
A roll per soldier to see if they hit, and the same for aliens. Also take into account bonuses and penalties.
Though if the RNG is bad, the results will cluster.
Also no crits unless a target is flanked or the attacker is stealthed.

Everything went smooth in the following minutes, the grunts were sniped/shredded , the captains were neutralized.

The shield captain took most of the incoming blasts. K.K Grahams was bleeding to his death from one of those shield shards which scattered after the explosion. He tried to same something to the soldiers but he gurgled more blood instead to his final moments.

Try to reclaim anything before bugging out?

Shield Captain body, and 4 of the Grunt bodies. Like we saw in the preview videos, put them in a fireman carry and run to the Skyranger. Load them onto GOLIATH-2 if it'll be faster. Everyone else stay alert, and LOKI-1 prepare to pop smoke at the first hints of trouble.

>>44884503
we blew up the captain

>>44884494
So, what are we doing with Graham's corpse? He was just a regular human.

>>44884595

Lets do an autopsy on him. See if he was being controlled someway or the other. Better check if theres a tracker on him too.

>>44884595
Hiding the evidence?

>>44884494
>Ask for advice from Robert and Bradford
How is Advent spinning the attack and the apparent death of Graham? Did the Council have an ulterior motive to having him killed so publicly?

And was the film with the subliminal messages destroyed?

>>44884595
hiding the evidence, preventing the advent from using him as a puppet for even more propaganda (and maybe even do that ourselves somehow)

>>44884647
we don't have anything to indicate mind control, Ayys don't rely on machines when it comes to mind control, he is a regular human

>>44884682
While Bradford's loyalty to council was blind, Robert had some doubts of his own, he suggested following their words for now. Without them, none of this would have existed.

Surprisingly enough, Advent blamed it on a 'stunt gone wrong' you had no idea how the public just gobbled the news without questioning anything.

As for the messages, The squad's usage of explosives left the studio in ruins. Advent will think twice before resorting to this underhanded technique.

Secret documents and intel can give us missions without waiting for them.
We need a bunch of punitive missions so we can salvage lots of corpses and fragments.

You responded to a post with two different questions with "yes".

What are the differences, if any, between lay low and wait.

Does lay low ignore opportunities we could have gotten.
It's your ambiguous wording and not including the specific questions you are replying to.

quick question, how would you like me to handle the 'story mode' of XCOM? so far, we haven't advanced that much in the story. How you like the current pace or do you feel it has gotten stale/other?

>>44885867
>Establish contact in____
Indonesia.

The huge amount of islands should allow for them to stay undetected.

And then perhaps we should do some recruitment..

>>44885867
>Wait for certain opportunities around the globe

>>44885973
well the thing really holding us back is the lack of psionics, maybe if we had built the cell before capturing the weak psi captain things would have been faster, but for now i guess it's fine

>>44886062
We need stun weapons.

I wonder if we can get surplus tasers from somewhere.

>>44885973
Mostly it's been the missions not yielding any salvage leading to us not being able to do projects or research.
Though now we're doing back logged research, the more advanced stuff will have to wait until we can get more corpses.
And the big projects simply require more scientists and engineers, which its been difficult to recruit.

>>44885867
Visit the Grey Market.
We need more intel.

>>44886145
I guess we need to work on more low danger stuff to get more salvage.

And then maybe do basic things like ambushing patrols of advents.

>>44886281
How are Oleg, Malik, and Adhira holding up?
We've been deploying them continuously for the past few missions.
Though sniper overwatch has helped keep our soldiers alive, they might be experiencing fatigue.

And can Exalt give us Intel on the warehouse before we deploy?

>>44886281
>ask for more details

>>44886391
Did we get a TES rifle or pistol?
Can a soldier have 2 rifles?

>>44886409
Should promote a few more snipers? Start a rotation so that we dont wear them out.

"According to them, The Warehouse is heavily guarded by Advent forces accompanied by one or two alien overseers most likely sectoids. The usage of explosive is not an options, many of the artifact there are highly volatile. They expect our soldiers to protect the operative rather than running the show. "

>Choose soldiers/Loadout


>>44886409
>>44886425
Oleg is fine, he has seen worse. But the rest should rest.

>>44886433
1 Rifle, More efficient

>>44886512
Of our two snipers, whos in a worse condition?

Then again i dont think we can afford to let them rest out this one.

Protection is gonna need our snipers.

>>44886600
probably Malik, he has been in a lot of Missions

I will have to go soon, so let's get out soldiers/Loadout done.

well shit. i guess that's it. Sorry for the late and short thread,thank you for participating

The loadout for the mission to assassinate Graham had 5MIL allocated to inject all soldiers with it, and the loadout was:

This loadout doesn't include the changes to the individual loadouts, just who was on the team.

We should really do the Advent Shield research soon. It'll make our grenades and rockets a lot more powerful.
With the Shield Captains, Faceless, and Chryssalids, we're going to need more powerful weapons.
Especially when the Berserkers show up.

>>44887313
Inst that only on the grenade?

A higher priority should be stun weapons. Need capture. And captured equipment from advent would be so useful.

>>44887443
Stun Weapons, most likely from Advent Stun Captain II, requires Project MELD.
Project MELD requires 1000 MELD, 100 Scientists, and 100 Engineers.

Currently we have 104 Scientists and 65 Engineers.

So at minimum, we need 20 more MELD and 35 Engineers before we can do the pre-requisite for stunners.

And that's if we don't also need to research Stun Captain Armor.

>>44887109

I say we should give baris the tes rifle alongside a standard sidearm.

Its just one gun on the team and we might be able to capture a full turret.

>>44888003
Baris is Infantry, while Yousef is a Scout.

Scouts have high movement and are stealthy.
Cavalry can sneak into position and while GOLIATH-2 and one of the assaults has the attention of the enemy, he can stun any Mechs and Turrets there are.
