Anyway, the 7.62 ammo should also be NATO - "7.62 NATO". It is also a standard NATO ammo like the 5.56.

Yeah, this is why the name is "7.62x51 ammo". Do you think "7.62 NATO ammo" would be better?

Also shouldn't the M-14, FN-FAL and Galil, that use it, require "Cult Arms Dealers" researched?

It's a conundrum. When there weren't as many guns, it was easy to assign weapons to various cults, but later I started adding side pats for alternate weapons. I guess I should rethink this system.

Somebody else finishes training. I add the only rookie who isn't training at the moment, so Only Lava the dog and the wounded are out of the Gym.

Another Strange Creature had popped up in South America while the Party was going on and the Humvee is on it. I forgot to post it in time.

I have a bad feeling about that.

Was this the mission where the exit is far, far away from where you start?

Beach missions are worth the danger, most of the time.
They are the earliest opportunity to capture a member of the Osiron faction and unlock further missions against them.
Enemies have some nice weapons for the early game.
And most importantly the 3 crates you find in every mission usually contain some alien tech. Most of the stuff in there is either useful or valuable.

Industrial and ski resort missions on the other hand indeed give you nothing of great value.

But there are also other, more rare, undercover missions, which you don't unlock through research topics. There's a 'concerned citizens' mission for example, that will give you quite a bit more negative points, if ignored, but is also significantly easier.
