The objective was clear. A resistance haven was under attack by the evil nazi enemies and so we had to assemble (read: scramble) a squad to help defend the outpost.
The way this mission works is that there are civillians all over the map and the enemies kill one each turn and we have to save a total of 6 and/or kill all the aliens- easier said than done.

The mission started out with a nasty surprise that quickly dimished my hopes of anybody surviving this mission.


That's one of the three "Chosen". Minibosses that are supposed to start showing up in your game to spice things up and to wreck ur shit.
I've usually only encountered them after the 6th or 7th mission
in a campaign. this one showed up on the 4th. bad news. at least he is the easiest of the three

Undaunted, we push ahead and spot a small enemy group, lead by one of their "priests". These dudes in white are alot more mean than what they sound like, being able to stun your soldiers, mind control them, panic them and even cheat death


They spot us and the priest moves up and promptly puts tri2killme to sleep
Thank god he didn't actually mind control him since that would have been bad.


After we dispatched of the priest and his altarboy, the turn ends and we are informed that a group of three aliens lead by a sectoid is very close, killing civillians indiscriminately


They hadn't spotted us yet though, so TheAnimal quickly greeted them the old fashioned way


They didn't appreciate. (note the poster in the background in memory of budsi)


We move ahead to engege while on the low ground, Azure saves the first innocent


The enemies rush us and we get some free overwatch shots as tri2killme shoots and misses a trooper


The sectoid uses this opportunity to revive the priests altarboy as a zombie altarboy. I called him jesus

Another enemy goes around the right side of the group and puts himself right next to azure in a very dangerous flanking position, only to turn around and shoot a civillian instead. Needless to say azure had his priorities in proper order instead.


The second of trooper dies in a hail of bullets from TheAnimal's minigun


Inspired, TheAnimal attempts to do the same to the remaining sectoid but misses


Unfortunate for him, but even worse for Pranit, who moved up to secure a civillian, thinking the sectoid would be dispatched. The sectoid was not stupid and shot him, making him bleed out.

This sudden turn of events made TheAnimal panic, who was tired from the start (low will because he nearly died back in those tunnels), and forced him to cower down and cri for his mommy.


at the same time our friend tri2killme gets ripped a new arsehole by the psi zombie our sectoid friend resurrected earlier. If only your name hadn't challanged him to tri (badummtss, he ded)


We are now down to effectively one person. tri2killme is dead, pranit is unconscious and dying, TheAnimal is pissing himself and only Azure was able to do anything. But this was when our friend
the Chosen Hunter started fucking with us, he used his sniper rifle to mark azure, forcing him to move and stay off the high ground or risk being sniped.

But azure had to move and he also had to kill the sectoid or the psi zombie jesus would also kill TheAnimal. In an all-or-nothing move, Azure moved as close as he possibly could without getting sniped
and pulled off the shot of the century, killing the sectoid and psi zombie jesus by extension (azure was down out of frame below the tower, and the sectoid was all the way in the back infront of the car)


down to two people able to shoot, i decide to evac instead of risking a squadwipe at the hands of the Chosen Hunter. Live to fight another day or so I'm told


Ofc we weren't going to leave pranit behind



END OF MISSION

Casulties:
tri2killme (dead)
pranit (gravely wounded)

MVP:
Azure

There were some promotions at least. Azure was promoted to become a specialist and pranit became a ranger.

This mission was bound to be the easiest one yet, as you can see on the left we had a Location Scout, which meant we had complete intel about the whole map and could see all the enemies right away

First and closest to us were these three guys, a trooper and one sectoid


Further behind and to the right of us was the second and probably nastiest group, two troopers and one of those bloodthirsty officers again


The last group was right behind the objective, and it was two troopers and another sectoid


Our objective is to blow up that big purple orb thing you can see on the left side, a psionic transmitter that is helping the clan council plan their evil activity checks!
We only had a limited timeframe but we were able to extend it by shooting smaller relays along the way, so that was no concern at least this time

Trying to set up an ambush on the first group, ofc things immediatly go wrong and the aliens spot us too soon


They spread out too far to take out with one grenade now, but thankfully I took our unnamed friend with the funky name along, and sectoids just happen to have one weakness:
thicc women weird hats meele!


The sectoid came so hard he dropped his shit


I tried to take out the other trooper and one of the smaller relays he was hiding behind with a grenade, but ofc he survived at one health and ran off to alarm his friends!


This was Rumour's time to shine, a sniper is made for this, surely he would never miss!


This was TheAnimal's time to shine! A grenadier is not made to snipe long distance but surely he would never miss!


This wa- wait what he hit? holy shit

Our efforts were too late though, as the second group was already upon us


At least everyone was in full cover, there's no way they could do anything to us! I said as one of them somehow SNIPED RUMOUR THROUGH A SOLID WALL AND ALMOST KILLED HIM.
Right on time of course, Azure panicked and went berserk


And of course he missed. twice. I won't complain though, free shots are free shots!


"What is that you said? Azure panicked? Well I'll be damned I can't let him steal the show!" said TheAnimal, as he also went berserk because Azure went berserk

Oh and of course he also missed twice. I'm not even surprised


Rumour wasn't that easily shaken however, and quite visibly pissed at the advent guys using such blatant wallhacks, so he turned on his very own


The officer was too far away and in too good a spot to shoot at, and he was also on overwatch. I had to get rid of him fast though otherwise he was going to stall us for too long.
I decided to try my luck with our unnamed friend and her super amazing meele skills! I totally didn't intend her to soak up the overwatch fire, I knew that the officer would miss!


However she was one damage off and now that the officer was pissed, he decided to use a grenade instead. Ouch.


Nevertheless we dispatched him on the next turn and then went about healing the worst of our injuries before moving to take the last group


We were lucky because between us and the last group, there was a very conveniently placed door that we lined up on, and once Azure opened it...

Rumour missed... fuckin' hell Rumour!

At least TheAnimal didn't miss!


The sectoid, now alone and desperate, wasted his turn summoning a zombie


And so after dispatching of him with meele-girl, we destroyed the Relay and finished our first mission without a single death!

The goal of this mission was to steal supplies from a clan squad depot before they could airlift them out. pretty simple stuff. There was 12 boxes total and each turn they would attempt to airlift two boxes out.
We either kill all the Aliens before they extract all boxes or we grab as many as we can and fuck off

Taking a tactical position ontop of a roof, we spot the first group: two stun lancers (annoying pricks with electrified dildos who run up and stun ur people) and one officer)
We quickly prepare to ambush them and it actually works out quite well for once: we open with a well placed grenade


After that, our newest recruit Threedog2 takes his shot and kills one of the stun lancers


The officer falls to Habeeb's sniper rifle and only one stun lancer survives. However he manages to get on top of the roof and swings his electrodildo at Dexx, disorienting him!


Dexx however does not approve


Moving ahead, the enemy managed to airlift the first two crates as we find the second group: A trooper, a priest and one more stun-lancer


Pranit takes a shot at the trooper but misses


Dexx shows him how it's done instead


The priest decides that the best way to turn this situation around is to supercharge the stun-lancer with very erotic thoughts transmitted directly via psionic link


We tried to stop him using overwatch but we failed


Thankfully it turns out using erotic images to supercharge people tends to distract them, so the stun lancer doesn't manage to electrocute pranit with his electronic wang-jang


Habeeb decides this is the perfect moment for his Clint eastwood impression


We kill the supercharged stun-lancer and i move pranit up dangerously close so he can get a shot at the priest. of course he misses and the priest moves around to flank him instead.
I've already started my singing prayers when the priest in his infinite wisdom decides, instead of shooting pranit, he may aswell just stun him for a turn.


Now it was Habeeb's turn to get rid of that Priest fast




Being unable to relieve pranit of the priest on his flank, in a desperate move I used another iFlashbang™ to stun him and hopefully make him miss a point blank shot at pranit.



HO-LEE-SHIT my plan worked!

Pranit wasn't going to miss this shot


After that kill, we managed to secure a total of 6 boxes before we decided not to risk facing another group and evac since there were no crates left



That concluded the sixth mission of this campaign and the second one with no deaths!
