Throw me in as a soldier, then when I inevitably die, play God and make me a human-drone. Also difficulty 5.

I request as much of the largest and most explosive ordinance as is physically possible for me to hold.

That may be true, but with the worst firing accuracy of the initial group and second worse overall (someone rolled a 40 to my 41) I think I'm still going to claim a grenade bandolier just because there's a chance I can actually nail the broad side of a barn with one. :v:

If I live long enough for the necessary research to go through, I'm pretty sure I'll be running around with either a shockstick or medkit in one hand and a frag in the other.

I'm guessing 30 isn't a real huge amount of bravery so there's a pretty decent chance several of my kills will be the rest of you. I've got good reactions though. :v:

Oh poo poo, you're gonna let individual soldiers decide how they want to move? This will be interesting...

As Soldier No. 8 I will take a rocket launcher if I don't already have one and fan out behind the flare-throwers (or the gunners if we don't have any) and prepare to scorch the ground the moment I see something that isn't human.

I don't actually know much about old school XCOM so I'm just going to pretend I'm a heavy from new XCOM.

I ended up floating around in circles uselessly in that one. :v:

Wait, what? I meant the books.

There was an lp a while back where everyone was the captain of a boat in the fleet but only knew what they could see directly or knew the orders from people higher ranked from them, I thought you meant that.

Orders

Grab a rocket launcher and rockets, get behind the scouts/flare-throwers, open fire the moment an alien shows up.

They should just send the two of us out there. My "panic and run around until you've flanked 'em" strategy is pretty good.

Truly this strategy is flawless and we are an unstoppable team!

Bury me with my rocket launcher.

Alternately, throw it in the cloning vats with me, or attach it to the stump that used to be an arm when I become Robocop. You know, whichever.
