XCOM command can find no fault with Satja despite her panic and firing upon a friendly in the same mission. After a quickly administered psychological evaluation, during which it was revealed that Satja has horrible nightmares but deemed fit for duty, Satja was dispatch with a squad to quell a terror attack in Mexico. Current results are pending.

Nah...

I think I'll post my roster and see who else I was lucky enough to get their role in XCOM randomly correct, and we'll see if I got their combat style correct too.

I'm kind of glad my "avatar" character isn't psionic....it would ruin his character....instead he is a 20+ HP
Assault.

I am however glad my other psionic is also an Assault trooper, that way he is constantly guarded by Locke, and able to Psyk the hell outta Muton at close range.

I also am saddened a realised I could have made my core team more psionic by buying the Iron Will perk in officers training back at the start of the game.

I didn't mean in-game; it was more of a joke about how I got his playstyle in his character on XCOM.

Out of curiosity? Do you actually like grenades? (I don't necessarily mean spam them) but if you see an opportunity to take out or otherwise wound multiple people do you use it?

Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris 4208	Posted - 2013.11.21 09:34:00 - [1] - Quote Okay well I finally put together a solid carapace and titan armour squad, all with laser weaponry, with the best skills and equipment the XCOM project could provide. Cpt Kador "Pitbull" Locke was killed instantaneously when a mysterious alien cybernetic disk atomised him in a single volley, previously in battle he had saved his comrade Cpt Callie "Pixie" Ryan and Lt Artyom "Moose" Lebdev from a vicious Muton attack, dodging through enemy fire to blow the mosters head off with a single Scattered Laser blast. Unfortunately his sacrifice was in vain, in attempting to reposition the Heavy Laser Lt Lebdev was shot in the guts by a hidden Muton, but not before he killed two drones in consecurtive reaction volleys. Cpl Alessandro Petrachi was killed in action, torn apart by a Cryssalid before anyone knew what was happening. However bravely the squad fought on downing the Cyber Disk, Muton's and Cryssalid. Sq Kostya Urlav was promoted for gallentry, single handedly shooting the Cyberdisk down. Lt Michael "Emo" Morel was wounded in action, caught in a brutal crossfire he defied all odds and brought down a Muton flanking him with a precise Laser Sniper Rifle headshot. Cpt Callie "Pixie" Ryan attended a short military funeral for her mentor Cpt Locke, and was subsequently placed in charge of the XCOM project. She is now the worlds only hope of survival. ((Oh and for some reason in this game the name Satja is cursed and practically a death sentence, she died in my initial play through as a medic, was gravely wounded in this play through as a sniper, and died two missions prior to this one poisoned)) Operational Cpt Callie "Pixe" Ryan Lt Michael "Emo" Morel Cpl Kosyta Urlav Cpl Daniel Henderson Cpl Mike Chapel Rk Molly Hill Rk Erin Walker Rk Augustin Martine Rk Navneet Varma KIA Cpt Kador "Pitbull" Locke Lt Artyom "Moose" Lebdev Cpl Michael Carpenter Cpl Satja Askarin Cpl Alessandro Petrachi Sq Juan Carlos Martinez Sq Karin Dubois Rk Sigurd Johansen Rk Konstantin Morozov Rk Gideon McDonald Rk Kellen O'Brien In the name of Earth we salute you for your sacrifice.

True Adamance PIE Inc. Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris 4227	Posted - 2013.11.22 05:35:00 - [5] - Quote Deployed to combat the Alien threat in Leeds, United Kingdom, XCOM squad bravo encountered stiff resistance from the extra terrestrial forces, who deployed in greater numbers previously encountered by our field operatives in the past. Sq Satja Askarin Sq Galm Fae Sq Demel Derpovsky Sq Maximia Beflas Were deployed to counter the alien threat. Galm showed his talents as a support operative mid mission, displaying unshakable will, and solid suppressive and covering fire abilities. Satja was identified for sniper candidacy as her infallible aim was enough to ensure the squad made it in the dying minutes of the conflict. Demel Derpovsky showed an unfortunate tendency to break under consistent fire, unloading a magazine at fellow rookie Satja, wounding her, and finally at the end of the match being severly wounded by Light Plasma rifle fire. He survived however and his wounds are teaching us about the alien menace. Maximia Beflas was listed as KIA, killed by an alien survivor of a grenade attack on and entrenched position. Her cover was stripped away, and finally her life taken by the invaders. Reports showed UFO activity in the region, Voodoo One was scrambled against the menace bringing the UFO down. Cpl Kador Ouryon Cpl Galm Fae Cpl Jakar Umbra Cpl Xander Kag Were deployed against the ships defenders. Godspeed to them, and may they return safely.

I hope the best for my final assault. :\| I have the assaults luck. my guys never get hurt, Kador has been on every mission so far and not been scratched. Lightning Reflexes, and that auto reaction shot CQC skill have meant that he has been taking down Chryssalids in 1-2's per turn and more. If your assault is dead centre of your battle line he isn't in the right place. I tend to see something like this Assault -------------------------------- Support ------------------------Heavy----------------------------------------Heavy --------------------------------Sniper That way my line is always covered by 2x Bulletstorm Heavies, Support is dead centre and able to drop smoke and Med kits, Sniper covers Left flank and can squad sight into right flank, while my dodging Assault mops up left flank. I have also had some amazing snipers hitting and criticaling on <25% shots, mowing down Chryssalids, laying waste to Muton. Only guys I have had trouble with have been Support and Heavies.....Heavies because they die too often, and Support because they never seem to be my rookies affinities.

Yeah its funny how characters have developed in my game. I'm drowning in snipers and heavies but lacking anything else.

Yeah I beat the game already so I know that one, it's the most useful mission in the entire game in that regard. You sir are a Heavy and you were my go to heavy for a while so keeping you alive was vital as is keeping that initial team of guys who are levelling up. Satja is a bad ass Sniper but of a different type to what I usually do since she's more of a mobile Sniper as opposed to Niina being a squad sight Sniper. I nicknamed Satja 'Kameira' by the way. Galm Fae is now Galm 'Warrior Nine' Fae as he has reached the rank of Sergeant. I'm not quite sure what to nickname Niina so for now she is Niina 'Zero' Eskola with the current highest kill count at 16 followed by Kador's 14 and Denak's 11. I always wanted to be an HMG/ LMG user in Dust....shame the HMG looks like garbage... I would have made Satja a scout too, Niina is my long guns shooter, who spends most matches stationary, Satja is my Skeleton Suit ,mobile marksman. Niina must be Longbow in all games!

I recent weeks the XCOM project applied itself to the study of the alien creatures known as the Sectoid Commanders. Our scientists devised a means of seeking out and amplifying natural psionic power within humans. 9:01 August 8th 2015, the first human psionic was successfully awakened and deployed with high ranking XCOM personell to the warzone to test his new found powers. Leithe Askarii now appears to be humanities greatest hope for survival against the alien menace. Col Nathan Locke Maj Aisha Neumann were tested for psionic powers and were unsuccessful.
