Finally caught up! Man... what a ride so far!  Again, fine job by the SoldiersOfEarth crew fending off the floater horde.

Now, I'm watching Meridian to keep my LP fix going ;)

:D you can never go wrong with Meridian!  He is a Jedi Master!  His SuperHuman Hawaii challenge is textbook!  I'm enjoying his FMP right now too!  He makes TftD look easy!   And if you happen to like Heroes of Might and Magic, he has HUNDREDS of episodes. ;)

Cheers, Ivan :D

I think if I had been drinking something, I might have done a spit take on that blaster pack explosion!

Not sure if this is the right place Ivan but was wondering if u cud help me on this one. I wanted to add just the BlasterPack from ur mod into my current game but I've run into problems. First of all I had to copy in the resources the blasterpack.gif file and rename the copy HandOb_blasterpack.gif otherwise it wasn't loading. Then I had to tweak the rul file in the handob section. After that I tested it on an Ethereal Terror site and all seemed well til OPXC crashed with this error message "invalid vector<T> subscript". Attached below is my alterations, thanks in advance. Very good series of videos so far as I'm halfway thru episode 98 atm.

Yeah, I have a few. 

A. Incidenary grenade going off in the skyranger
B. Base defense with a handful of rookies with proxies, HE packs, and pistols against cyberdiscs.
C. Numerous times watching you prime grenades and thinking you primed them while ignoring the "Not enough Time Units" messages, then the exclamation of surprise later that their grenade isn't primed:)
D. Blaster pack kickbacks and surprise explosions

Many thanks for making this. I didn't watch all of it, but I really liked what I watched.

I really liked to see you actually use some melee weapons instead of all those grenades.
