Don't get full of yerself just yet. Those were unarmed scouts you took down.
Anywhoo....Another emergency for our team. We deploy immediately.
to a very tiny map.
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/267/ufo20h.jpg/So we fan out and run into aliens. The little reaction fire we had mostly missed.
By now I figure all aliens must be in this building. I leave Headdie and Melvin outside, as their weapons would be of little use inside the house. I prepare everyone else to stom the house.
Sparda runs right up to the alein and introduces it's face to sabot slugs (should have gone with flechette..those are 3 times deadleir early game)
Me and Dekker(or was it Patriot?) are the only two currently inside the house. A burts from each of us cuts the second alein down.
We detect the third one on the roof/balcony, hiding behind a table. Since no one can get a shot at it from this angle, I move Headde and Melin further away into a better fireing position. However, we losoe track of the alien.
For the next two turns everyone (except the aforementioned two) slowly and catioulsly moves towards hte stairs to the second floor.
And then suddenly the alien appears down.
There's no stairs or any way to get down, so this must be a bug. Unfortunately for the alien, he dropped from the roof right in front of Headde and Melvin. Melving puts a sniper round into its chest, Headde follows with a rocket. The alien is vaporized.
WE ARE VICTORIOUS!!!
***
UFO's fly around, but again we avoid hte big ones. Untill they land. Then we deploy!
We deploy in the outskirts of hte town...houses and gardens obstructing our view:
We split into 2 4-man teams.
ME, Sparda, Headdie and Firespawn take the streets.
Melvin, Patriot, Rodo and Dekker go around the back gardens. And we run into aliens almost immediately.
2 aliens visible in the upper left house. 1 in the garden. The one in the garden throws a grenade and wounds the entire group. Melvin and Patriot put it down with return fire.
The second team moves up
Only for one alien to go behing the house, throw a grenade at this feet and somehow survive and return. Must be smoking some shrooms.
One more alien appears. We now have 3 alien in the upper left part of the map.
Headdie attempts to hit one, but his missile misses, goes trough the window and destroys the TV in the house. He still claims Twilight was on that TV, and it was deliberate.
One of the alien came to clsoe to Sparda, who shotguns it to the face and then runs behind cover.
The alien return fire doesn't score a single hit.
Finally, on our turn we again push forward. I took a HMG back and my supressive fire kills one, while Firespawn finishes the last one. (at least I think. I'm not sure if Headdie fired another missile at this point or not)
Another victory.

And our adventures continue!
Getting tired of all the fighter-types UFO' (they WILL go after the dropship if it's close) I dispatch Stilleto 1 to intercept one. I haven't installed polymer armor and I fear the worst. Still, Crizza manages to bring it down, altough our interceptors is heavily damaged in the process. Our first kill of an armed UFO. I begin construction of another small hangar. We're gonna need it.
We deploy on another small map and immediately engage the enemy:
Sparda is not with us on this one, beign promoted in the last mission he's taking a break. Ravenhole is taking his place. Sadly, I didn't take notes and memory of this mission is murky, so take this names of who killed whom with a grain of salt.
The alien closest to us is swiftly taken down by combined fire from Firespawn and Patriot.
The rest aling themselves to either shoot at the alein by he house or the one in the middle of the crash site. Headdeis first missile misses. And due to my oversight Ravenhome is left without any TU's, and few cna come to his aid.
After 2 pot shots and drainign everyoen who could shoot out of TU's, the last burst from my HMG manages to bring the alein down, as if by some miracle.
The last alien opens fire and hits both patriot and ravenholme. We quickly move in to heal them.
Our return fire misses, but the alein runs behind the house to cower (afer scoring anotoher wound on Patriot). We use this breathing room to heal everyone up.
The aline finally pops back from the hosue, but this time falls down under a torrent of fire.
6:0 for us.
So far, so good!
