I'm now playing with Not Created Equally, Hidden Potential, Training Roulette and Absolutely Critical. Damage Roulette is gone for now. Absolutely Critical might hurt sometimes, but there's nothing like successfully flanking an enemy and then blowing it's face off.

There are Coke cans with Santa Claus on them. Christmas season begins!

But...but it's not even Halloween yet!

Were you the one with the 13-year-old cousin that got someone else pregnant? All the family drama around here starts to run together after a while .__.

Well, I won't be able to get a sheet up in time. So I'll sit this out I guess.

I almost lost the base assault already .__.

Five chryssalids, first two then immediately afterward three more. The two were gunned down with no problem, but the other three surrounded one of soldiers (thankfully none were able to attack). All my others were nearby except for Squadsight sniper, so I was confident of being able to kill them...except damage roulette decided to kick in right there. No shots missed, but it took every single one of my soldiers (my laser-assault twice because of Close and Personal) to kill a single chryssalid thanks to repeated 1-damage hits. Thankfully the chryssalids suffered from the same problem, and we were able to finish them next turn, but sheesh.


ETA: Nope. Fuck this game. Fuck these chryssalids that can, in the exact moment that they are revealed, move towards my sniper, leap up to her perch, and move adjacent to her for free. Fuck this game that decides that two point-blank overwatch shots (one scatter laser, one assault rifle) should miss when I attempt to save my sniper. Fuck this game that deals enough damage for my sniper to survive two chryssalid attacks with a single HP then kills her with poison. God fucking dammit.

No, no, not a sandwich. Add croûtons. Put the bread in the bowl, too. Everything goes in the bowl. Everything.

Why not make the bowl bread?

Terror mission, of course, failed. Two rookies and my Sergeant Heavy died, the last two rookies managed to get back to the evac zone and escape. Australia straight-up just left the council

Did they leave because the panic pushed them over the top?  I thought that as long as you made a showing, they would not automatically leave?  Do you have to have all your dudes KIA for it to count as a showing?

No idea, dude. Australia's panic wasn't in the red zone. I'm not even sure it was orange. Maybe if everyone were KIA they wouldn't have left, but I wasn't willing to lose two rookies with kills when I was in such dire straits.

Welp. The game hates me.

I'm on what I assume is the first Exalt mission. Need to escort a VIP to the exit zone while being harassed by Thin Men. I try to get my assault in position to stun a wounded Thin Man, when that same Thin Man takes aim at the VIP. The VIP behind full cover, with his head down, with a wall that I was sure blocked line-of-sight between his cover and the Thin Man. The VIP gets one-shot, mission failed, get to the evac zone. I run my assault in, stun the Thin Man, and it turns out that was the last enemy on the map because the mission ended right there.

If that Thin Man had just missed his shot...or if the VIP hadn't taken so much damage...or if the wall had actually blocked LOS...ugh.


AAAAAAND now my first terror mission of this campaign. With all but one of my veterans in the hospital for treatment from the last two missions.
