Let's Play Is LIVE!

Sounds good; though everyone should expect to be dead. I'm quite surprised with the council's (real) result for the first month, I don't see it lasting though

It might be because there was a funding bug that's been fixed these last few days (if you look at the Git Builds, me and Warboy have been quite busy recently ).

Also lol at the Covert Action reference, great game.

Soooo....

Can I be one of your Rookies??? I know is a little late, but he way you are going i think you need new cannon fodder

[pmprog]

Sure you can. I've not had chance to play it for a while, but yeah, there've been a lot of dead bodies of the wrong kind lately.

another nice idea I've seen on X-Com playthroughs is to have a clone army: whenever one of the original crew dies, he gets replaced by a new recruit of the same name, with a number added to denominate the deaths. so after a few months, you would have a crew of for example "Corporal SupSuper 5", "Major Daiky 3" and "Rookie Moriarty 53"

Says it'll take 45 minutes, so probably won't be watchable for another hour or two
Video is ready

I want also to be recruited as a rookie!!!  Oh!, this is my first post in this community, but I have been following it since the early days, when the battlescapewas no yet implemented. If you hire me as a rookie I assure you I am very motivated  , but please in middle august give me some holidays

[Yankes]

[bulltza]

I am a fast learner, I just hope I will not die from ... my own fire (like liberty in episode 7)!!

What? Like being any other rank gives you better odds?!

I think that is the understatement of the year

You mean they are incredibly lucky if they finish the mission!!!

My character (once is added to the roster) wil try to stay away from the rest of the squad at all cost!!

lol, you're currently 5th in the queue, the latest episode I recruit 3 more, so you won't be far away. I'll try and remember to run you in the other direction - alone - with no weapons or armour

i saw that last video, and man, you need to get some avalanche launchers when you go up against the battleships and stay in cautious attack get hit once retreat and let the another interceptor.

And Michal he was just a killing machine!!!! I want to be like him when i grow up

I didn't say i won't fight, i just said i will stay away from "friendly" fire

In the dual battle where I lost both interceptors, one of them was destroyed from one hit. Anyway, I'm nearly at Laser Cannons, so we should be able to hold our own a little better next time

You mean dead? Aww, sorry michal, you were doing great, those smegging aliens!

I didn't say i won't fight, i just said i will stay away from "friendly" fire

I don't do friendly fire any more

...Anyway, I'm nearly at Laser Cannons, so we should be able to hold our own a little better next time...

Laser Cannons? I usually don't bother researching them at all range is too limited. All they are good for is shooting down Small Scouts without destroying them. Which is a sport in itself, one I usually enjoy once I've gained air superiority - I tend to keep a dedicated interceptor for that purpose
