Update: The third alien ship
This one...
Yep.
This time we advance a Coelacanth tank into battle, that should drastically increase the soldiers lifespan.
Switching the rocket launcher to GreyViper pays out, a clean snapshot wipes out the Aquatoid and adds the first kill to
his records.
Spreading the crew a bit out, the tank of course does the scouting job at the front.
A Heavy armed Aquatoid spotted by the tank is taken out by me.
We spot the alien ship, Overboard mines the entrance with a trip mine. I appraise the area secure and advance the tank
to the north.
That wrong judge nearly cost me the life, the plasma shot missed by an inch.
My counterstrike instead fails horribly, thats not my day.
Overboard saves my ass from sure efface with a quickly thrown grenade, and scores another kill on the aliens turn with
the tripmine. Remind me to give this guy a medal someday.
The tank eats his first hit to the side and takes some mediocre damage, not enough to worry too mutch.
Less luck on side of the Aquatoid whos instantly struck down by counterfire.
Scouting the rest of the area a well hidden one staring at the wall for probably every turn gets redeemed by Azira.
I have no idea where this one appeared from and I'd rather not give him enough time to explain.
It survived the indirect hit, and Blagrar finish him off.
The tank get shot, completely absorbing the damage and reaction fires... but missing. At this point I decided to start
collecting the loot and leave the ship itself alone.
The tank absorbs a few more sonic pistol shots and the situation looks secure enough to give it a shot and try to salvage
the whole ship.
Storming the bottom door with Blagrar taking out the first one behind the door, followed by the tank to receive possible
point blank fire.
During the aliens turn I don't see anything, no shots are fired, but I hear a door slamming.
There he is, I expected him to be at the top door and checked that first.
Then I moved Overboard aswell in, covered them both with the tank, moved the tank back out and advanced to the next
doors. At that pictures point I expected to have at least one soldier drop, Blagrar opens autofire.
MISS!
MISS!
But then a instant death hit, woot! Harpoons ftw!
