Two days later a small UFO was detected over that snowy thingie in the north.

This is the weirdest LP. Why don't you keep the updates contained to one post each within spoilers?

The forum loads all the pictures even with spoiler tags, which can make some computers shit themselves and generally is pretty wasteful. I'd have to bump a lot to get to the next page for a next update post, so I post pictures in separate posts.

The UFO was shot down over the northern snow thingie by an Interceptor from North Europe and X-Com Platoon 3 was sent to recover it.

Immediately after landing, two green-clad alien giants were spotted.

Tank moving to shot at them was fired at. Skyranger's landing gear was hit and the soldier standing behind it was wounded with a plasma blast.

One of the alien was hit with two mini-rockets fired from heavy cannon but somehow survived.

Initial deployment:

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

Alien craft. It seems to be damaged.

A moment later one green giant was killed by HWP and another by a soldier with heavy cannon.

X-Com forces started moving towards UFO under cover of smoke while the wounded soldier received medical aid.

Suddenly, contact with Skyranger-3 was lost. It is speculated that it was destroyed with with alien explosives seen in terror missions.

5 of 6 lost soldiers were on their first mission.

So I take it you finally found a way to force the Aliens to use their grenades?

Well, I had only leaders have them in the previous version. And leaders usually died in engine explosion or were quickly killed in terror missions. Now I gave them to alien soldiers on high equipment level.

By the way, I changed UFO loadouts so that there's an alien for every spawnpoint inside the UFO.

On 22nd June, after two months long research by 160 scientists, the secrets of Elerium were finally unlocked.

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

It opened the road to research of laser technology and a multitude of alien technologies. On 24th June, it was decided that it's best to start the research from Laser Cannon and then proceed to smaller weapons.

Nothing more happened until the end of the month.

On 1st July, a small UFO was detected flying towards India. Interceptor from India was scrambled to intercept it.

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

The UFO was damaged and crash-landed.

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

X-Com Platoon 2 was sent to recover it.

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

Immediately after landing, it turned out that it's some kind of a new alien, this time an insectoid one.

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

Luckily HWP cannon shell turned out to be an effective insecticide.
