I set up the next Strange Creature and ... um ... some developments.

I will try to press the "get out of dodge" button a bit earlier this time.

The team.

Also Ironmanish moment 20. I need to take these things seriously. Sigh.

Turns 1-2.

Lessons learned 2. Always load up for the worst. You can always switch to the cheaper guns later. The problem is that most of the strange creatures have low armor so Shotguns are good. But these guys have better armor I think.

Turn 3. Another one is down. At least three more to go.

Their weapon is an arcing one, so I should be fine if I could shoot from inside or use three tops as cover. The Osprey is great for this with it's big wings/propellers.

Turn 8-9. We start the exodus to the house with better cover.
Turn 10. Shooting from windows is hard. Strangely the AI never seems to have any such problems.

Turn 20-27ish.

Training. Flashbangs are a good throwing trainer. I just figured it out. I will add it to the Strange Creature training schedule from now on.

Some more research gets done while we wait for the *proper* time, for another suicide mission. Those never go out of fashion.

Also some missclicks were noticed by the council.

Here we go again.

This one has an equivalent crew to the Durathread factory that we epiclly failed last turn.

I will also add the adding of the Survivor commendation from that mission as a Cheating. Noted there and on the first page.

Oh, wait, lets send some rookies to a Strange Creature. That should train them good, mkey.

OK, I can procrastinate the big Red Dawn mission for some pictures with boobs and zombies.
