X-Com Files Mod, Superman, Ironman-ish

He is gone.

Now it is a man versus man. The price is the Car. One X-Com agent, one Madman.

[tarkalak]

Next turn I decide to wait near the corner. The madman did hit, but no wound. Daniel Kelly wounds him in return. Now, to hide again.

The tension was unbearable...

[tarkalak]

Even the colt has that tiny theater props marker on it.

I reloaded and I don't have enough time units to shoot this turn. Oh, and this is the last clip that the agent carries so it is back to the car for more soon.

[tarkalak]

And 4 misses in a raw. Two of the shots actually hit the wall right next to my agent. Good shooting Tex.

[tarkalak]

And finally. This time the Madman isn't behind cover (people that say there is no cover in old x-com doesn't know how it works) and my agent figures out how to use the sights.

[tarkalak]

Outcome. Judging by the Survivor picture Kelly should have died and Ly should have lived. *shrug* Mistakes happen.

I have been playing with the following house rule, so I added it to the first post.

House Rules:
1. No armed grenades in inventory, except in hand. Does not apply to flares, flashlights and similar stuff that doesn't go boom.

It doesn't matter right now, because I have no grenades, but it doesn't make sense to pull the ring and put a few grams of boom in your pocket.

Just as I watch the other team approach that Zombie Infestation in Africa, we are interrupted by the regularly scheduled Cultist interogation summary. The Dagonnist has spoken.

[tarkalak]

We stop by to get some salami.

[tarkalak]

Due to a tragic incident with some zombie parasites, the regular episode of Resident Evil will be played by the X-Com Files cast. Stay tuned for some man to zombie action.

Dang. that must be a lot of zombies.

Your sense of humor is sublime. Please don't quit this playthrough.

Lot's of zombies isn't very hard, just a chore.

Thank you, one of the first AARs I read was this one:

And that somewhat set me up. I don't plan to stop, but eventually I will have less free time and/or get bored and slow it down.

Disappointingly not a huge wave of zombies. 5x5 sized map with only 4 visible from the start and none are compromising the landing zone. We switch straight to step 2 - Reaction fire training.

[tarkalak]

Training goes well. An infector zombie should show up on the larger infestations, but I doubt there will be one here. It is needed for some later progress and I couldn't capture one in my other campaign up to mid 1998.
