This is going to be more "after-action" reports, since I haven't really tried recording much. However, I might try to record a few interesting battles.
Starting a playthrough on Veteran of Reaver's Faithful megamod. I was experimenting with some changes to the starting base, and realized how broken they were, so I'm starting over without using those (starting with a large living quarters was a horrible idea, because I was able to buy more scientists and engineers immediately, which led to me having laser weapons researched and deployed before the first terror mission). The only change I've made to the starting base was layout, to allow for more defense and to have room to safely build large living quarters and labs, and I've removed one hangar, because I also prefer a personal mod of allowing 2 crafts per hangar. This may prove broken too, but I like a large airforce.
Opening month, initial base is in SE Europe, near Istanbul. Immediately started construction of a second base in North America, in MN/WI area.
Destroyed first UFO, a very small. Shot down a small for the first recovery mission, cost me 2 rookies. After radar in NA got built, but before hangar, a large was detected flying around. Next UFO detection was a grounded small (large scout) in Europle, recovery there cost me another rookie, but I have first elerium and power generator secured. The report on that mission in the soldiers' diary said it was landing site 3, so I'm thinking I missed 2 out there somewhere.
Ending play session by flying towards opening month terror mission, Havana.
