This was our first encounter with aliens throwing stun grenades, and it was a brutal one. Lessons have been learnt.

Update 9: Recocked
2nd Oct - 6th Oct
2nd Oct - 6th Oct
Remembrances are held for our missing comrades. Naturally I tell all your friends, family and colleagues that they died bravely, fighting for a better future - leaving out the part where you fell like little bitches and four of you are currently receiving the proper punishment for being a bitch
Where there are proles, there must be bread and there must be circuses. To distract simple minds I've allowed our air crew to customise their charges, though they seem intent on self-destruction by painting the entire thing a bloody red.
The Russian built MiGs residing in North America apparantly were already given names. The replying fax I received from that base simply saying "FREEDOM and DEMOCRACY, FUCK YEAH!". Whatever the hell that means.
The bed sheets of asfasdf and Dead Guy haven't even had the stains removed when we get some fresh meat to take up their vacated bunks
Grimgravy, Quilty, MrContinuity, Nevill, The Brazilian Slaughter and Bane are welcomed into the fold and given their ceremonial red shirts.
We have an opportunity to rest for a couple of days, awaiting the inevitable.
The Squadron dispatched from Retardoland makes contact in the cold wastes of Russia, making short work of the Scout craft.
Freedom and Democracy didn't quite pack enough air-to-air missiles to complete the double kill I asked of them.
But they did chase the UFO around long enough for us to refuel and rearm.
Z-Hour is expected to be dawn local time. Pray to whatever God you believe in, rookies, this is going to be a long day

I said go in at dawn for fucks sake, not the hour before
Not making the same mistake twice, Quilty makes a beeline for cover straight from the Chinook...
ITZ HAPPENING AGAIN
Local madmen provide a great means of distracting the Xenos.
Sweet baby Jesus, they're all right there.
Paxton Fettel is next man to be hit with the stun bomb, catching it right behind the crates.
But as a true Man, pain only hardens his Resolve
Having survived the alien attack, Ashery first pops one mole and then MrContinuity pops his virginity with a few cool shots.
A task force takes the top of the map, finding this bunker stocked with supplies for ITZ, but little in the way of things to shoot at.
Dextermorgan is seeing visions of her pre-op days, but swears that she's good to go on.
As befits these arctic conditions, the field is very open. Ashery kills an Officer that decided to try and shoot Fettel in the face rather than hide in the UFO and mindrape us.
Starting to stack up for the breach, we hear the sounds of the door opening and this cute little critter sprint out...
...And proceed to claw Dextermorgan's pretty plastic face off while everyone sits and gawks.
She can't even get revenge due to her shit aim and the Aliens tough hide
Though that does open up for The Brazilian Slaughter to bring some XTREME incline
Not wanting any more unexpected surprises, we pop smoke to conceal the 'nauts left in the open.
Which, of course, doesn't help when a Harridan somehow senses our dual flanking maneuver and runs out on a suicide mission to fully-auto Hoverdog
RIP hoverdog, Gaius Maximus will avenge you
We're polite and knock, but there's no response, so it looks like we're going to get hands on with the jubblies of a UFO.
MrContinuity takes point, but isn't fast enough to react when a Caesun Guard comes around the corner.
He bleeds out from the newly formed hole in his chest. RIP MrContinuity
Stepping over the fallen corpse of his comrade for the second time in as many minutes, Gaius Maximus executes the Xenos with prejudice.
Now back home for tea, medals, and to replace that badass Hoverdog's charred extremities with some cybernetic improvements
You're not going to get much rest. Even with the decision to nuke the crashsite in America from orbit, you've still a potato to protect.

Update 11: Gecko & Coyote
6th Oct - 11th Oct
Slight spoiler - I'm gonna need more fresh blood 
6th Oct - 11th Oct
The live satellite feed of the combat zone reveal a rather interesting battle unfold.
Despite the most hostiles we've met so far greeting us on the doorstep of our modified Chinook, we blast our way into a dominant position in the adjacent cornfield.
Sebillians are tough critters, and despite being engaged from three different quarters, we're able to take advantage of their poor shooting skills with long range engagements.
Liberal usage of grenades, both of the smoke and fragmentation variety, take care of anything using cover to get close.
We do all this without the help of Gaius Maximus, who can shoot everything except the sole target.
Having kicked scaly arse all across the map, we prep for an assault, knowing that this Gargol was likely hiding just inside the UFO.
Quilty blocks like a fucking heavyweight champion to set us up for an easy kill.
In theory at least. Bane decides he'd much rather shoot Ashery in the back, but Grimgravy and Gaius Maximus both make full usage of their shotguns at close range.
Moving in, The Brazilian Slaughter cops a hefty blob of plasma, guaranteeing him plenty of company with our fit, buxom nurses once we're back at base.
Grimgravy swept in and sealed the deal with a single, decisive round from his shotgun.
Good news is usually matched with bad news: but here there is none of that - our scientists finally making a breakthrough
The rest of the week passes without much event. The engineers claim they can manufacture a suit of Jackal Armour every day, which is something we just have to deal with. Our secondary and tertiary bases are starting to come along nicely, and we should be able to solve our manufacturing problems soon.

Update 12: Illegal Aliens
11th Oct - 12th Oct
11th Oct - 12th Oct
Previously on Xenonauts: Catching Plasma...
Our flyboys rip them to shreds. Nothing larger than a Scout craft.
And here is Ulminati, sporting the latest in battlefield fashion - our first suit of fully functional Jackal Armour.
Don't fail me now guys. Four crashsites will give big moola.
Right out of the gate and we run into trouble. Ulminati opens the garage door to recieve a faceful of of alien scum.
Reaction fire strikes the floor right where he was and luckily nobody goes down in the blast.
A cloud of Vortex explodes on the wall, Ashery spots the firer well hidden inside another garage.
A massive smokescreen can cover the road south of the Chinook, but that doesn't save our bro. Hoverdog takes the fall.
Ulminati cleanses the garage with holy promethium.
Size 88 master key. Works on every kind of lock
We spot this Viper ducking and diving through cover half a map away, but it evades all our attempts to find it.
It went for Azira, but he managed to block its attacks
Establishing overwatch on a nearby roof, we sweep the map clean of any further Xenos.
Tea, cake and few field promotiosn are rewarded to our brave soldiers.
Second drop and we smash our way through the few aliens who survived the crash. 4 Caesuns die before we turn our attention to the UFO.
Sweet mother of god...
Ding! The bell sounds for Round 3.
From out of the smoke a stun grenade lands at the feet of Azira, KO'ing him.
Too late we flush out the culprit.
Such is the fate of all... what the actual fuck is that thing!?
OH GAWD ITZ HERE

Time to kill us some bugs.
It might be big, but that just means we're going to be thinking bigger. Night Goat, as a Scout, is packing two seperate charges of High Explosive.
Gregsy gives Azira a helping hand back onto the battle bus. We would be lost without his cowardice
The Alien popped up, shrugging off Ashery's fucking sniper rifle and healing up from the damage caused by Gaius Maximus' rocket exploding in close vicinity.
But Ulminati had predicted this attack - hurling his High Explosive satchel in between the Skyranger and the Alien.
Foolish beastie doesn't know that walls are no defense from our fury
...fuck me sideways and call me Penny, what little hits seemed to hurt it just got regenerated.
Big bang deterred it from coming closer.
Night Goat drops another bomb to cover our retreat before bravely legging it back to his bros.
We are not running away from this thing, not without putting up a fight, not without finding out just what this thing can do.
Congratz on the kill Night Goat
Firing squad! Assemble!
If it bleeds we can kill it!
Come at me, bro!
RIP Gaius maximus. It just tore straight through him

Update 14: Kill The Queen
12th Oct - 16th Oct
Let's see how this cunt likes napalm.
Night Goat blows up the nearby wall with a pair of frags and Ashery takes the easiest shot of his life.
DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA!!!
Didn't even need our flamethrower.
: Oh hai guyz, what's going on here? 
We blew up half the map, the rest of the battle is a doddle despite some friendly fire.
I can't help but think we're responsible for most of those civilian casualties
Let's hope there isn't another of those things this mission. The entire squad needed to combine all its firepower to stave it off, throw in a couple of supporting Xenos and we'd be shit out of luck.
I think our pilots are trying to get us killed.
Pop!
Bang!
A pair of little Vipers attack us when we're trying to move into a field, but the local farmers provide some tasty, tasty shields.
It's handy knowing the kill radius of rockets
A Vortex shot from somewhere to the North incapacitates Azira. Our return fire is of a more deadly variety.
A pair of redshirts are holding out from the UFO and the barn. We're closing from both sides.
Paxton Fettel takes a hit and drops, hiding for dear life behind his bathtub as plasma burns craters into the concrete.
And that's the way the cookie crumbles. Gaius Maximus sweeping in behind to shotgun the final Caesun
10 Scientists arrive at Retardoland just in time to help us unlock the secrets of the Xenos energy source,Elerium Alenium.
The onslaught is held off for a couple of days, but the next wave brings in a new challenge.
Outmaneuvered and outclassed
A UFO lands in the frozen north, safe from our fighters. The aim is to rotate through whenever we need to refuel.
The Shoutbox takes part in a Top Gear episode and chases the dawn, touching down early on the 16th.
