In Progress Let's Save Humanity in openxcom

[Awor Szurkrarz]

I need 3 new Interceptors again.

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

Looks like two engines are intact.

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

Several elerium missiles were brought for testing.

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

Squad 1 moves south destroying suspicious looking farms with Elerium missiles.

First casualties occur in Squad 1 which acts as the boarding party. Two operatives are killed with a single plasma blast.

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

More devastation...

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

The remnants of Squad 2 fight a bitter fight against counter-attacking aliens. The new type of the alien seems to be some kind of a cyborg. They are inhumanly resistant to damage.

What is worth mentioning is that this party is heavily equipped with new gear - large calibre gyrojet launchers.

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

Remnants of Squad 2 are reinforced by soldiers from Squad 1 and prepare to assault the UFO.

Squad 1 fires at aliens trying to return to ship.

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

Assault failed.

One operative died after firing a TB gyrojet rocket at alien from close range.

Another was shot dead on the bottom of the lift. Tank and another soldier withdraw.

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

Another farm is destroyed by Squad 1.

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

Weird alien creature comes out of UFO and is destroyed.

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

Two more aliens try to return to UFO. AT gunner tries to destroy them with a TB missile but accidentally hits the UFO and the blast destroys Squad 2's tank.

Meanwhile entrance to the ship is mined and two operatives move to secure another entrance.

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

Suddenly a sack of flesh appears and melts a solder down with acid.
Another soldier fires 40mm AP gyrojet rockets at it but with little effect.
Tank shoots but misses.

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

Finally the alien thing dies. It took 3 gyrojet rockets to kill it.

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

More Squad 1 operatives move to assist in securing the UFO. Two of them engage in a firefight with aliens trying to return to ship. They are killed with two plasma blasts.

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

Aliens display their inhuman resistance again.

A moment later they die in a fiery explosion.

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

Another X-com operative dies, killed by fire from above. In a short time, tank kills two aliens. The aliens seemed to deliberately try to avoid coming out through the mined UFO entrance.

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

Final situation:

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

The new Elerium missiles turned out to be extremely effective. Thanks God the aliens never actually used their alien grenades against our troops.

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

Finally, some UFO Power Sources! The price was high, though. Platoon 1 practically destroyed. 3 Interceptors lost.

Big UFOs are flying around but there are no Interceptors left in USA. Thanks God none of them was a Terror Ship.

Wait, what?! Crash Site 11? And it's the second or third battleship that spawns?! Is your detection rate really crappy and you miss a lot of minor missions, or did you tamper with the UFO spawn rate?

The aliens seemed to deliberately try to avoid coming out through the mined UFO entrance.

Whoa, whoa, let's not jump to conclusions!

Avalanches are heavy air to air missiles similar to AIM-54 Phoenix. They make small UFOs fall apart mid-air.
Crash-landing requires UFO to still be manoeuvrable. By the way, I just drastically decreased hit-points of all of UFOs.

Whoa, whoa, let's not jump to conclusions!

I wouldn't be surprised if it is true.

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

The new creature was researched and it turned out that it's some kind of a combat cyborg.

In the end of the month.

Wait, what?

It turned out that I fell victim to the dreaded cash roll-over bug. Why does this bug even still exist D: ?
Also, USA was taken over by Aliens.

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

After editing the save game...

An alien Terror ship was destroyed.
