30 HURT AS BOMB JOLTS MOSCOW MALL

A bomb just yards from the Kremlin rocked Russia’s trendiest shopping mall yesterday, injuring at least 30 people, Moscow officials said.

Five people were seriously hurt and more than two dozen others suffered cuts and bruises in the underground Manezh mall.

Investigators said it appeared that the bomb was planted in a video game on the bottom floor of the mall. It wasn’t known whether it was the work of terrorists or one of Moscow’s rival crime gangs.

“No theories have been put forth about the politics” of the attack, said Alexander Zdanovich, of Russia’s Federal Security Service.

Hong Kong Crash Raises Question About Pilots

As investigators pored over the wreckage of a China Airlines plane that crash-landed here Sunday night, aviation experts began asking hard questions about the company, Taiwan's flagship carrier.

Why did the jet, with 315 passengers and crew members, try to land during a howling typhoon? And why has China Airlines had four major accidents in six years, the worst safety record in Asia?

Officials in Hong Kong and Taiwan would not speculate on the cause of the crash, which killed 2 people and injured 212. But the chairman of China Airlines, Chiang Hung-i, who expressed deep apologies, said the accident was ''possibly caused by the typhoon.''

maybe instead of lossing maybe humans turn agais us? imagine that not only aliens attack your bases but sometimes human do it too and without detecting your base, while thier armor is probaly useless but you probaly sold so many plasma guns and laser cannons your greed turns agaist you

actualy begginer is not that hard, until turn 20 but if you rush for personal armor and medkit alien grenades should be surviveable

on begginer grenades and rifles is more than enought to take down cyberdisc

Its realy usefull to make designated roles?

Spoiler:

I make inventory standarization, (laser) rifle, (alien) grenade, medkit, stun rod and he pack for veteran soldiers later psi amp and blaster is used by high ranked soldiers who just boost morale (if they do not use blaster, they snipe from flying suit above skyranger) and it allways worked for me

Offtopic / Re: NewbieTacticsForNewbie - What to do if you landed surrounded of Cyberdiscs?

« on: April 05, 2016, 01:43:36 am »

its good idea to get early hwp, they can tank few cyberdisc shoots or even try to take down one cyberdisc

and in snakeman terror they give some advantage against chrysalids(block ramp and fire away, if one gets too close it have to take down hwp first)

by using hvp i quickly got alive chrysalid

I have other tactic, in openxcom stun rod reaction fires too, when attacking bigger ship with 1 tile wide doors (supply ship, abductor, harvester and large scout) place 2 soldiers with stun rods on sides of each door, when any alien try to exit (they commonly do it from turn 6 in my experience) they will be stunned (probaly, sometimes they shoot first).
Its super effective against floaters and snakeman, if you drop all your explosives and weapons on ground you can try this on sectoids too.

this tactic is more risky with muttons because they have more hp so they need more stun damage but there is not too much reasons to stun them anyway

and ethereals are pain to fight but if you have to caputre them for any other reasons than selling live aliens or completing all ufopedia entries and maybe getting alien weapons (if you turn on destroying of alien artifacts on user death) you probaly did something wrong
