I tried playing long war but it was way too complicated for me So with the launch of the free DLC I'm going to have a crack at it blind. So die for the free world. Sign up today with your desired first name, last name and call sign. I won't write up every mission but will post regular status updates.

Operation Night Witch: The operation came off almost without a hitch. Michael Flynn caught a shot to the torso, but manfully shrugged it off and cut down two sectoids. An excellent effort and well-deserved promotions all around.  Mare and Flynn work together particularly well as a team, and have developed a special bond.

Operation Lost and Abandoned: XCOM deployed two smaller squads on this one. Mare and Vermis met with Outrider  While Wade and Ratte rendezvoused with Pratal Mox.  Things went south. One of the Chosen showed up to party, a yooge lost swarm appeared, and things got messy very quickly. Pratal Mox never made it to the Avenger, Wade took some hits, but every soldier present fought hard and earnt a promotion.  Congratulations to Mare and Vermis on earning the first Sergeant ranks (the nicknames were autogenerated, I've updated them to what was requested.)

If you've got room for an angry, probably crazy heavy, Steezo. Because gently caress those xeno bastards. Make a March to Space. Like Atlanta, but with traitorous sum instead of that other traitorous sum.

XCOM received a distress call from Gettysburg. A team was assembled and dispatched to save some civilians. New reinforcements have recently landed, including our beloved Lando, bravely charging into battle first. The enemy deployed a large contingent of stun lancers, who barely used their lances at all and instead laid down a brutal crossfire. Sadly, Cpl. Wade took one to the face just as he got into sniping position.  The Avenger bar has now been renamed the Lemon Squeezer, in honour of the war's first sacrifice. Shortly after, XCOM had an opportunity to raid a network uplink. The mission was a success though with a few wounded. All soldiers performed admirably, reflecting great credit both upon themselves and the XCOM fighting force.

After a long period of idleness (due to me working stupid hours) XCOM is back in business. Word was received of a train loaded with important supplies, so a strike force was dispatched to hit it hard. The mission went extremely well, with only McNally getting hit, but for once, he didn't get McNally'd. Enjoy your recuperation time, buddy. All other soldiers received promotions for their dedication, and a congratulations must be given to Four "The" Mare, who won the Golden Noose as our first Lieutenant.

We had that lightswitch installed for you so you could turn the lights on and off, not so you could throw lightswitch raves! Now let's go break open that glowstick and pour it into Homestar Runner's Mountain Dew. I heard they have to pump your stomach when you drink that stuff.

The call went out that an operative needed rescuing. XCOM sent a squad led by The Bark Knight himself. Things looked messy when this clown here showed up.  And it did get messy.  The Chosen took down Barc Lee with a sword swipe. Due to budget cutbacks and the general 'go gently caress yourself, die for XCOM' attitude of the leadership, no medkits were available and he bled to death on the floor. Smeper flo, rot in piss, etc As evacuation became possible and everyone began running for the door, Beatrix got panicked by a Sectoid. Everyone else made it, and he made it within one step of escape when an overwatch shot took him down. Try dodging better, scrub. Special mention goes to the incredible one-two punch from the Bark Knight and Vicky. Bark threw a nice ball for the Chosen, and Vicky followed up with a grenade, causing something outrageous like 22 damage between the two explosions. The Chosen hosed off just as fast as he/she/it showed up. Teflon also won himself a yooge purple heart for surviving poo poo he had no business of surviving. He got shot, set on fire, and grabbed by a Viper all in one turn. Someone shot the Viper off him, he put the flames out, and claimed a couple of kills into the bargain. He spent all but the first turn of the mission on 2 health. Comrade Blyatlov fucked around with this message at 20:24 on Oct 29, 2018 |

After much work behind the scenes, XCOM finally managed to track down the Skirmisher that got taken by the Chosen. Lando put his paw up again to lead the mission, and two operatives were chosen for their special skills. Mare, because we need a good hacker, and Vicky because if poo poo goes wrong, we need to lay down a lot of fire, fast.  Things didn't quite go as planned.  The infiltration went smoothly. Mare got into position with Vicky covering him and Lando keeping an eye on the patrols, and then it all went horribly wrong. Mare took the time to gently caress around with the enemy's code to learn it better (and get a bonus 20 to his hacking skillz), and managed to alert every enemy in the complex to his position. He took four hits and the only reason he didn't get  is because he used three out of his four medkits on himself. Vicky and Lando did a great job of gunning down the worst of the enemies and cleared the path to the extraction.I wish to congratulate Mare on being the kind of officer who tries to get himself killed for his dumb mistakes instead of his men.

The final mission of today was to protect some important gear that was set up by a contact. Lando was asked to lead, but he reported that he was feeling a bit ruff after all the other missions he'd done. Rest well, Bark Knight, we will need you soon.  Due to the heavy casualties that have been inflicted recently, a relatively inexperienced young soldier was tapped to lead the squad into battle. And proving that experience isn't everything, brought the squad home with only one casualty.  A well deserved congratulations to Cpl. Hurtz on his exemplary leadership. No bonus rank will be awarded, nor any danger pay, nor any reward of any kind, as we don't want substitutes thinking they are real soldiers. Acting Squad Leader you were, and Acting Squad Leader you will be again (but only if tapped.) Now go shine someone's boots, Corporal.
