The Weinan team finally got to Mexico to fight the supply UFO we shot down..
We sadly lost Jeremy as he got out of the Skyranger, but the rest survived. There were some mind controlling bastards here, and our crew have no resistance so we went guns blazing as fast as we can to clear, using all our guys. Now that all are identified as psi-weaklings we're not treating them as royalty anymore.. Work for a living..
There were a few turn ends, where I expected aliens to come around and kill a soldier or two, but we managed to keep them alive.. Medi-kits saved Liam and Denzel, who are out of action for 32 and 8 days..
A decent score.. And quite a bit of loot..
When the San Marino team got ready, we sent them out to finish what was left on the ground after we shot down that scout..
Easy...
The Harare Psi-team have now started to get some equipment.. All in all, they count 23 soldiers. Spot for only one more on the Avenger. They're fully armored. Two in front in power suits, to be able to drop sideways of exit fast, and the rest in flying suits.. (Though fairly easy to get around in flying suits too on the Avenger, so I guess we may soon give all flying suits). All have laser rifles, and they have smoke, proximity and alien grenades for support.. Hmm.. I should buy some flares too.. 15 medikits should suffice, and 15 psi-amps are a few short, as we want to give everyone one, but plenty to start training most of them. We'll likely just use front 8 to handle the mission, and leave 15 in the Avenger to train with psi-amps.. We also have blaster launcher, stun launcher and mind probe for support if needed..

They all do have 80+ psi strength, but other than that, they have a lot to improve..
Next up, we're considering taking out the alien base.. I'm guessing we'll soon get another one in the US after the infiltration mission..
