Let's play The X-COM Files, shall we?

[tkzv]

756. Capture a lone Dagon follower in Paris.


Turn 1.

757. Yet another modern port city.

Team: Chan, Shaman, Mukhtar, Bagheri.

758. Spread out. The suspect is unlikely to have good weapon or aim.


Turn 3.

759. There he is. Bagheri wounded him with a reaction shot.


760. He's got a crossbow.

That's unfortunate. Run for cover!

Turn 4.

762. Bagheri and Chan are too close to the walls. They can't see the suspect and he can't see them. Mukhtar watches from safe distance.

Stepping back and shooting the suspect with Glocks would be easy. But that would be too far for tasers.

763. I'd rather let Mukhtar practice. Can he stun him?

If he runs, he can shoot the taser once. If he misses, Bagheri and Chan will mop it up.

766. Success. Captured him alive and let 2 agents practice.


767. After all the new hires, the first 4 agents were promoted.

Wednesday, February 19.

772. Brainwashed farmer revealed stats of female farmers.


774. In other news, Sten research was finished.



Thursday, February 20.

776. Double-barrelled shotgun.

As all cheap shotguns, it's useless against serious armor and thick hides.

777. Crop circles, in America, close to the base Vancover.

Wednesday, February 19.

779.
A regular crop circles mission, capturing a single farmer in 10 turns.

I'll keep Glocks on belts.

Turn 1.

780. 2 houses, 4 rookies.

Hedegaard and Bos go right and Silva and Lambert go left.

781. Lambert has found the farmer. Silva didn't see him, because he walked along the house wall.


782. And he's got a shotgun.

Better not stay in the open.

Turn 3.

785. Better save taser clips and use just clubs.


786. Only Lambert got any practice.


787.

And this is one of many "quality of life" improvements in OXCE engine. If a base has no prison/storage, the prisoner/loot can be sold or transferred to another base. Right now only Volgograd base has a prison.

789. Transfer isn't free, of course.

Friday, February 28.

791. Medicine research finished, chief medic reporting.

I'll follow this path later.

795, 794. Monster hunt in Brazil. I'll send the Vancouver team again.



796.

And thus ends the February of 1997. Not very eventful, compared to the UFOs of January.
