Platoon divided into two squads which proceeded to clean the northern part of the map. Team 1 went west and Team 2 went east.

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

The first casualty was taken by the Team 2 - its machine gunner was killed by a plasma blast.

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

Fighting quickly devolved into throwing as much grenades at enemies as its possible and firing grenade launchers and RPGs at them. Two operatives returned to the Skyranger for more grenades. Rifle fire was almost completely ineffective.

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

Second X-Com casualty was an operative from Team 2 turned into a zombie by a chrysalid that sneaked up to him through smoke.

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

Soon the Team 2 HWP which was already heavily damaged was destroyed by a chrysalid.

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

Without the HWP the Team 2 advance was stalled.

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

Some time later Captain Victor Bonnet and another operative were fatally wounded with a point blank grenade launcher shoot at attacking chrysalid which survived stepping over a proximity grenade. Both have soon died. Another soldier took over Captain Victor's grenade launcher.

General view of the battlefield. Two massive kill-zones of Team 1 to the south and Team 2 to the east are visible. At some point Team 1's machine gunner brought a missile launcher from the Skyranger.

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

Final kill was made by the ATGM operator with a HEAT missile.

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

Final situation. Team 1 probably got most kills while suffering no losses.

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

Somehow two civilians managed to survive.

To give some idea about ammo expenditure...

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

Promotions. I'll have to finally recruit troops for other bases.

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

Flying home. What a relief. Terror missions with chrysalids are absolutely horrible.

I see MOAR new items. How do HEAT missiles work? And light machine guns? And disposable RPGs?

With modified stats, of course.

HEAT missiles do plasma damage which gives them positive modifier against armoured opponents. Though I may change it to explosive damage with very low radius.

Finally, a breakthrough!

A few destroyed small UFOs later...
