It's happened in the past. I try not to reload though. I especially plan on not doing it with this runthrough because I expect lots of dead DUSTies. I have to prove you're not immortal.

Arkena Wyrnspire Fatal Absolution 15687	Posted - 2014.08.08 21:42:00 - [13] - Quote XCOM Mission Report: Operation Glass Hammer At 0342 on 4th March 2015, an abduction was reported in Argentina. The following squad was dispatched: SPEC John Ripper (Gunner) [Mexican] PFC Cyrus Grevare [Mexican] PFC Zero Taicho [American] PFC Padhraic Mac Iaisre [Irish] PFC Duncan Idaho [British] PFC Llast Orwell [Canadian] Headed by GJR, the SAW wielding veteran of the only previous counter-extraterrestrial operation, the squad bravely headed out to confront the alien menace. The landing site was in a densely built up area near a petrol station. A large number of abandoned cars lay strewn around the AO. The squad deployed behind a large truck, which conveniently had crates stacked on the back of it to provide an excellent cover and overwatch point. PFC Mac Iaisre (eventually I'm going to make a typo on this if this guy lives long) was sent to the well covered top point. Much of the area was immediately revealed. Unfortunately, this included a pack of 4 sectoids who rapidly took up covered positions and assumed overwatch. Quickly the remaining members moved into cover, careful not to run into the overwatch fire. PFC Orwell managed to attract some enemy attention but the oncoming fire missed and did no damage. Now in well covered positions, the squad seemed well prepared for the alien attack. At first it seemed all would be well - the alien fire splashed harmlessly against the hard cover. A vicious counterattack by the team left 3 of the sectoids dead. But then, suddenly! A new, larger pack of 5 sectoids came charging unexpectedly into the combat zone. While they were ill prepared initially and the squad managed to open fire killing another 2 sectoids, the weight of numbers meant that they were unable to effectively cripple the enemy assault. Still, they were all in good cover and it was assumed that they would fare adequately. This was not the case. The aliens adopted an unforeseen tactic - psionic attack. The cover apparently did little to prepare the soldiers for this psychological onslaught and SPEC Ripper was apparently persuaded to open fire on his teammates. PFC Idaho died instantly to the heavy weapon fire, his cover offering no protection against the man behind him. PFC Orwell immediately panicked and attempted to burrow into the ground. PFC Mac Iaisre realised that all the aliens were clustered and taking cover behind gas pumps, however. Luckily, he was carrying a standard issue high explosive grenade. The Irish soldier pulled the pin and sent it sailing over the aliens heads. The resulting firestorm killed all but one of the aliens and started a chain reaction of exploding cars and whiny scientists bitching about how valuable unexploded aliens are. PFC Idaho died again as the car that his body was behind exploded violently. PFC Taicho beat the final sectoid to within an inch of its life and then PFC Grevare elected to use his pistol (??? I think I screwed up the controls somehow) to finish it off. Mission accomplished! PFC Grevare was promoted! SPEC Grevare was assigned the Infantry class. PFC Mac Iaisre was promoted! SPEC Mac Iaisre was assigned the Rocketeer class (I felt this was fitting). PFC Taicho was promoted! SPEC Taicho was assigned the Engineer class. PFC Idaho was killed in action. Alas.

Do you even Xcom? One does not simply choose the specialisation. Unless the mod changes it? It's slightly different in the mod. There are eight specialisations. When a unit is promoted from PFC to Specialist, they get assigned to one of the four main classes. From there, you can pick which subclass to go to or select 'random subclass' which gives you one of the other six.

It's not joking when it says it makes it long, though. I've spent 40 hours on the previous playthrough and I'm only midway. I decided it'd be more entertaining to do it with DUST people on a higher difficulty. There's a lot, lot more depth and customisation to it. Some really nasty stuff can crop up though - I had a battleship arrive in March and I attempted to intercept it, had the interceptor OHKO'd, then when it landed I foolishly sent a ground team and promptly met two sectopods and a pack of mutons. I've gotten a lot more interested in the air interception part of the game since installing the mod because it's so much more of a challenge. In vanilla it had pretty much gotten to the point where it was 'push button to send firestorm, receive bacon'. Here, there's a lot more to think about. In vanilla it was rare for me to ever need two aircraft for an interception - I've needed four for particularly tough UFOs here. I actually spent 6 downing a battleship although that was a ridiculous mistake and I lost a continent because of it. You have long since made your choice. What you make now is a mistake.

Arkena Wyrnspire Fatal Absolution 15714	Posted - 2014.08.09 10:38:00 - [28] - Quote XCOM Mission Report: Operation Broken Shield A UFO was spotted over the skies of Germany. RAVEN-1, armed with Avalanche missiles, was sent to intercept. It almost died. RAVEN-2 was sent to intercept. It got damaged and failed to shoot down the UFO. RAVEN-3 was sent to intercept. Lightly damaged, but succeeded in shooting down the UFO! The following squad was dispatched: SPEC Cyrus Grevare (Infantry) [Mexican] Kills: 1 Missions: 1 SPEC Zero Taicho (Engineer) [American] Kills: 1 Missions: 1 SPEC Padhraic Mac Iaisre (Rocketeer) [Irish] Kills: 4 Missions: 1 PFC Llast Orwell [Canadian] Kills: 0 Missions: 1 PFC John Turner [American] PFC Cat Merc [Israeli] SPEC Ripper was banned from the squad for one mission out of concerns that he might be an alien sympathiser. The three newly promoted Specialists were outfitted with shiny new gear - SPEC Grevare picked up a battle rifle, SPEC Taicho picked up a bunch of grenades, and SPEC ~~Maicasre~~ Awkwardname carried lots of rockets. So many that I later realised he practically couldn't move. On arrival at the mission site it became apparent that SPEC Awkwardname wouldn't be able to continue his habit of blowing up cars. The crash site was in a secluded forest without a vehicle in sight. Well, apart from the UFO. The squad was dropped in at the start of the crash trail of the UFO. The UFO apparently came down hard and slid a fair distance along the ground, gouging a fiery furrow in the earth and leaving debris everywhere. That debris conveniently stood perfectly upright and made for excellent cover. With my vast intelligence and excellent tactics I had the presence of mind to realise that I should move everyone into cover before moving forward much. As amusing as last time was I didn't want to aggravate everyone. This paid off. Once everyone was in cover, I moved PFC Orwell forward. He acted as scout for this mission to atone for his cowardice in the last one, although he might have a bit more success burrowing into the ground here. This immediately annoyed two packs of sectoids totalling 7 of the critters and this time I actually ordered PFC Orwell to hide in his cover. As I wondered what to do, I looked back and almost physically felt SPEC Awkwardname's desire for lots of explosions. So the brilliant plan of blowing everything up occurred to me! SPEC Awkwardname opted to go for exploding the cover the sectoids were using rather than exploding one or two of the actual creatures. As a result, no sectoids were killed (although a lot were injured) but 5 of them were left out of cover. SPEC Grevare promptly removed the spleens (do they have spleens?) of two of them with his battle rifle. PFC Merc attempted an easy shot at one of the other sectoids but missed horribly. PFC Turner killed one successfully with his assault rifle. Then I realised I had more explosives in SPEC Taicho's pockets, so I had him lob a grenade which took out two more. Two to go! As everyone was in cover, I felt pretty confident. ... :XCOM: PFC Orwell got hit by one of the sectoids and became critically wounded! That's pretty damn lucky honestly - I would've expected someone so... rodent-like to get immediately vaporised beyond repair. SPEC Grevare viciously put down both of the other sectoids with some very nice shooting and PFC Turner, the only one with a medikit, rushed to PFC Orwell's side. Luckily, he was able to stabilise him. Cautiously, the 5 remaining members of the squad moved up to the UFO. Once everyone was in hard cover - I was taking no chances this time - SPEC Awkwardname fired a rocket at the side of the UFO, blowing it open. A mysterious crystal entity appeared - the Outsider. ... It had 10HP! The combined fire of the squad failed to kill it, but injured it fairly substantially. The counterfire from the Outsider flew over PFC Merc's head, doing no damage. Then... The Outsider healed its wounds. This was ever so slightly concerning. Luckily, SPEC Taicho had another grenade. This blew up the Outsider's cover and damaged it a little further, allowing SPEC Grevare to kill it. Mission accomplished! SPEC Grevare was promoted! LCPL Grevare acquired 'Covering Fire'. SPEC Awkwardname was promoted! LCPL Awkwardname acquired 'Covering Fire'. PFC Orwell was promoted! SPEC Orwell was assigned the Scout class. PFC Turner was promoted! SPEC Turner was assigned the Medic class. PFC Orwell was gravely wounded. You have long since made your choice. What you make now is a mistake. Enlist in XCOM
