scrapped
« on: May 29, 2019, 09:37:46 am »

The year is 2020 in an alternate timeline. Ayys are invading. Why? There are multiple possible reasons, but it could involve them wanting a resource from our planet that's way more abundant in space, them being assholes, or maybe something completely different.

Either way, you are a soldier of the XCOM project.

TL;DR An XCOM game in RTD format.

Before anyone asks, the first mission will begin once 4 people post their sheets, and the dice used is a d10.

I want to start playing forum games. This sounds simple and amusing.

Note: I decided to look up my gun, and it looks like it holds 5 rounds, not 10. According to Wikipedia. I have as much actual innate knowledge of firearms as a poodle does of advanced physics. Requesting that the magazine be updated, but that I acquire 2x magazines to compensate.

Added to the list. As a reminder, the research stuff will be revealed once the first batch of redshirts complete the first mission.

Sheet added. As a reminder, you're meant to also have the Rank, Status, and Inventory lines as well.

Four people have their sheets ready, and we have one of each class. If anyone wants to make a sheet and join in while I go take a shower and do other stuff, feel free too, I'm planning on including more than just four guys on missions.

Added. Let me write up the first mission intro.

If you're wondering what was taking too long when I took a shower, well, I think this popup told me to quit procrastinating by playing XCOM 2: War of the Chosen with a bunch of mods, and to start working on RtSMX's first update.

What happened was: I misclicked and made my Reaper shoot at a target which was low priority, and when I tried reloading a save to go back to immediately before the misclick, I crashed.

Last XCOM I played was XCOM: Enemy Within.

Lotta fun. Loved using overwatch-centric tactics.

Yeah, there's a good reason why a lot of missions had time limits of some kind in XCOM 2. Sure, overwatching is important for ambushing, but I disagree with using it to turtle unless you specifically need to hold a position.

The date is 3/1/20. The council, after obtaining proof there's an alien invasion, activates the XCOM project. Immediately after, a small scout UFO descends into the atmosphere, only to be hunted down by a pair of interceptors, which shoot down the poorly armed UFO, causing it to plummet to the ground in a forest and killing some of the aliens inside.

Immediately after, a squad of XCOM operatives grab their weapons, and board the Skyranger to assault the crashed UFO. An hour or so after the crash, a squad of armed-to-the-teeth soldiers lands, and begins investigating.

You are one of said soldiers.

You exit the Skyranger via the rear ramp, and get ready to move out. The UFO is a fair distance away from you, about a hundred or so yards away from the LZ.

You see a lot of trees, some rocks that could make nice cover, and a few hills, and some green and cyan lights.

Squad Status: Normal, same as in the sheet post.

Tip: The MK21 ESR and M249 SAW Para have bipods that can prove helpful for being more accurate and doing the exact thing that lead to a lot of turn timers in XCOM 2.

Immortality like that would be even more game breaking than four Aaron's in one place.
You're both so obviously scum that this is a surprisingly difficult decision.

Added, although you haven't boarded the skyranger as you joined after the start. You'll get to go on the second mission, though. I'd like to remind people making their sheets that the primary gun + ammo is meant to be IN FRONT of the USP .45, not behind the frag grenades in the inventory field.
