Combat Diary part 4
---------------------------------
Dammit
We lost Flashfire on an alien terror mission in Russia, close to Arctic Sea. From what I have been able to gather, the squad became immediately surrounded by a group of aliens, and a lot of shots were exchanged. Luckily for us, command reserved sufficient amount of grenades and RPGs to literally crater anything that moves. That's sort of war I like, given enough explosives, there are no problems. Anyways, Flashfire died standing and doing what he believed was the right thing to do, and I believe he would not change a thing. Or perhaps, maybe he could've quipped "Come on you sons of *****es, do you want to live forever!" to the aliens while shooting back if he had a chance. Below is how I envision Flashfire's last stand was:

I'm still going to file a complaint about our rockets, one of our younger rocketeers now managed to shoot our own Chinook, but luckily hit a non mission critical area and the crew was able to return back without a ride in Aeroflot Iljushin or Antonov. Our research dudes really have to do something about this, it is just a matter of luck we didn't lose more due to mishaps like this which still keep on happening!
I have heard reports of a new sort of alien that is very fast and prefers close combat, but so far we have not encountered it. Let's see what it brings to the table.
