He is gone.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
