Not really a AAR, just some of what been going on

[Hard Sarge]

as the terror raid popped up, I had just shot down a Scout, so sent my big boy to the terror raid and my little boy to the scout

the scout had to run away

so, what was left of the Big Boys crew, was sent out

2 tank rounds, 3 Heavy Lazer rounds and a Rocket to knock down this mech

[GalacticOrigins]

Heh, it takes like 30+ laser rifle hits to do what 1 Flamethrower can do ... [:D]
 
btw, on normal difficulty I get like less money big time. $624k is the max per region per month.
 
I am interested in your current #1 and #2 soldier stats at this point.
 
NICE screenies! Keep it up!

[Hard Sarge]

well, this is my top guy right now, Sherry is a little behind

the rest are more in the 200-400 range

Lazers and Mechs are nice for one thing, if you can hit them enough, you gain a lot of points

[GalacticOrigins]

Cool. You should get a promo at 1100 exp (unless mod changed it).

Get strength 52, for a really cool tech 2 rifle (better than plasma, better than ion).

Also, one person with str 70+ is going to be needed.

Oh, forgot, you are using a mod I think.

[Hard Sarge]

yes, I am using the mod from here
 
yea, I am slowly building up Strength on all of my troops now, I wanted AP and shooting first, Strength 2nd, and then based on the person, throwing or reaction
 
I don't know if the mod changed it, but thought the next one was at 1200 ?
 
well, I should find out soon as both are right there
 
(those Mech's really build up your Exp fast when you firing lazars at them, 3 bursts of fire, per Mech, can jack you up in a hurry)
 
(funny, how you can get a 0ne shot Heavy Lazer kill, and then first 2 bursts hitting with all 6 rounds and it still stands there !!!)
 
(still, point blank flames is best, if you want them dead)

March 19th 2009, finally, I spot and capture my Commander !, long time comeing, just was not getting any Vipon missions, then got 3 in a row, I went out of my way to make sure of my targets this time, and got a lot of my troops put into the hosp, because I was looking first and fireing 2nd
 
but I got the bugger, now I can finally reseach Plasma
 
LOL, Rifles and Shotguns and Lazers were getting a little old in the tooth
 
almost felt sorry for the snake we took, 40 brain boys picking and prodding at him like they were
 
 

[Hard Sarge]

my boys hear that the brain boys have some new stuff to learn and hand over, the battle is going to turn, and combat is going to get easier

they relaxed

they shouldn't have

[Hard Sarge]

and then the Cruiser landed, right next to our 2nd base, time for the Rookies to earn there pay

a good old fasion stand up fight, only, my rookies forgot this was a bug hunt and not a capture mission, they were totally loaded for bear, only it wasn't bears out there

[Hard Sarge]

6 claws in the LZ, guess we had a rookie for dustoff also
 
2 more members end up in sickbay, and 4 others were hurt
 
all we got left is Jr NCOs, time for them to earn there blood stripes (and maybe find a few new ones)
 
 

[Hard Sarge]

Oh Boy

the Aliens land and I go out after them

and run into new Aliens

these buggers are nasty, even more so, with lousy backward weapons

[Hard Sarge]

odd
 
for over a year now, I have had one Commander captured (had a 2nd, but I didn't have a room built for him)
 
so pretty much, I have been fighting a backassward war, with Lazers being my main weapon
 
then in mid 2109, I get two Vipon Commanders in 3 missions (oh joy)
 
then the next month I pick off 4 more !
 
of course, now the hassle is, it takes forever to build any of the new stuff
 
(I just got my first Plasma Cannon, while having a Ion and AEEK cannon in production (once the first is build, put it on hold and shift workers to the others)
 
 

[Hard Sarge]

spot a preacher, got a guy in a room near him, toss a Plasma nade against the wall to open up a line of fire, the nage takes out the wall, but leaves the desk in great shape, but, it alerts the Preacher, he spins and fires, and burns the desk to a crisp

then the Heavy Plasma gunner, picks him off in the glare of the flames

sometimes you gots to be lucky

[Hard Sarge]

one trouble with learning new tricks, they cost money

funny, though, also seem to just have enough

[Hard Sarge]

it gets ruff when you are trying to catch up with reseach and production

[Hard Sarge]

well, I am going broke

having to sell off all of my goodies and starting to hit some of my older stuff

but, I can start to shut down some of the HARD stuff

I have 6 bases
20 hangers
15 Interceptors
2 Extermanitors
2 Stormbringers
2 Lightnings
9 Raptors

9 with EEEW shields (building Particle now)
3 with Ion
3 with Lazer

3 Imperator
4 Long Lance
6 Thunderbolt
2 Green Torns

3 Particle guns
5 AKEW
2 Plasma
5 Lazer

as new comes in, old shifts, and then is sold off

[Hard Sarge]

well been a while

wondering if anyone has been keeping up with the BMan mods ?

they are really getting sweet

started up a new game

Patch 1 with BMan modes up to 3.27

had a ton of Alien craft try to make a rush on me

went after the BC once the battles were over

firepower is nice

[Hard Sarge]

snaps don't do justice

there is a wall of flames all across the board, with 2 types of gas clouds floating over the flames

it took a while, but it dropped 4 floaters

[Hard Sarge]

Stun, Gas and Flames nades knocked another bad guy (also think it took down a good guy)

end of battle

[Hard Sarge]

just in case, I fired some rockets and got short rounds, that is why so many of my friends went down

[Hard Sarge]

one of the many small air to air battles that have been going on
