UPDATE 2:Ran the first two missions. XCOM is super weak ATM so I went full stealth--no combat at all.Badspot and Ephialtes hacked an ADVENT data-cache and were both promoted.Decepticon and DestroyerOfBlocks rescued 3 XCOM Operatives from an ADVENT Prison and were both promoted.DreamsOfCheese and GabeNuwell rescued a VIP Engineer from ADVENT-occupied Cairo and were both promoted.
UPDATE 3: FACELESS HERODay 20 of the ResistanceSimplefish was deployed on Operation 'Faceless Hero'--to steal ADVENT machinery from a derailed train.Unfortunately he was discovered prior to infiltration, but decided to go along with the mission anyway.Facing the overwhelming odds of 50+ ADVENT Troopers, he was shot and killed by an ADVENT Officer.Next time we'll be ready for the ADVENT scum.KidAlex90, Legodude77 and Poliwhirl rescued a VIP Scientist from an Advent Prison in Berlin and were promoted.Poliwhirl was seriously crippled and carried to the skyranger by Legodude77. He is out of service for 44 days.Stick Man was deployed to hack an ADVENT Data-Cache.After being spotted, he made a narrow retreat to the Skyranger, unable to retrieve the data.
UPDATE 4: KNOWING YOUR LIMITSDay 31 of the ResistanceKidAlex90, KingOfTheBill, JamesH, and Stick Man formed [TEAM SHADOW]--for stealth operations. They were deployed to hack an ADVENT data-cache.KingOfTheBill was shot down by an automated turret while fleeing the scene. After obtaining the data, the survivors narrowly returned to the Skyranger.SeventhSandwich, Gabenuwell, Ephialtes and Decepticon formed [TEAM MENACE]--for heavy assault. They were deployed to capture or kill an ADVENT VIP.Decepticon was severely crippled and carried to the skyranger by Gabenuwell while SeventhSandwich carried the VIP. Decepticon will be out of service for 36 days.SeventhSandwich and Ephialtes were sent to Berlin to rescue 3 XCOM Operatives held in an ADVENT Prison and were promoted.The mission was a wild success, with all 5 squadmates returning to the Skyranger unharmed.
UPDATE 5: CLOSER EVERY DAYDay 48 of the ResistanceLast update I had to pass up a Liberation mission because we couldn't infiltrate in time to get in with stealth. We have another one coming up next update. Will we enter?Badspot, Ephialtes, and KidAlex90 entered an ADVENT City Center to destroy a prized monument.Ambushed by by countless soldiers, they won a surprise victory by taking down all 18 of them. They were all critically injured.[Ephi spammed smoke / flashbang grenades while Badspot and KidAlex shot everyone in an alleyway.][TEAM SHADOW], consisting of JamesH, Stick Man, Auzman666, and DestroyerOfBlocks infiltrated ADVENT-Cairo and rescued an XCOM Scientist.They killed 10 ADVENT Soldiers, never even allowing them to fire a single shot through advanced stealth.SeventhSandwich and Ephialtes resuced 3 Advent Defectors, never firing a single shot in a high-paced stealth operation.
UPDATE 6: THE INJURED AND THE DEADDay 62 of the ResistanceSeventhSandwich and GabeNuwell moved in to rescue a critical XCOM operative to help liberate Syria. They succeeded, but at a high price.GabeNuwell was shot and killed by an ADVENT Drone, being left to bleed out while Seven retreated to the Skyranger.[TEAM SHADOW], consisting of JamesH, Stick Man, Auzman666, and DestroyerOfBlocks went on a mission to steal supplies from an ADVENT-Train wreck.They held off against 25 aliens with zero casualties in what might have been our most successful operation yet.[TEAM FERAL], consisting of Badspot, KidAlex90, Poliwhirl and DreamsOfChese rescued yet another Advent Scientist, never taking damage in a highly successful operation.XCOM now has 8 scientists, but almost no resources due to a lack of resistant comms. We'll get a lot of nice tech if we can find some supplies.
