Big Fresh Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I started a campaign in XCOM: The Long War. Was gonna name all my soldier after DVDVR members. BL88 was the first volunteer, then I just went to the most frequently posted users list to fill up the rest. If you want one of the next recruits to be named after you, post in here. I'll post screen shots before and after every mission. Here's the roster after the tutorial (where I could not control anyone's names yet, so this is just the way it shaked out). Private First Class don't have classes yet. PFC BL88 PFC Phil Rippa PFC Brian Fowler PFC odessasteps PFC piranesi PFC Niners Fan in CT PFC J.T. PFC Cool Arrow PFC Craig H PFC Matt D PFC Death From Above PFC Elsalva jeloco Specialist . Cristobal - Sniper class (currently Fatigued for 5 days) - 2 Kills Specialist Raziel 403 - Medic class (currently Fatigued for 5 days) - 1 Kill Specialist Burgundy Larue - Rocketeer class (currently Fatigued for 4 days) - 1 Kill PFC The Natural (currently Fatigued for 4 days) Specialist Kris Z - Assault class (currently Gravely Wounded for 19 days) - 2 Kills Specialist Curt McGirt - Scout class (currently Wounded for 16 days) - 2 Kills PFC Mike Zeidler (currently Gravely Wounded for 19 days) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Fresh Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 odessa took a hit early on and panicked.Piranesi took a hit, almost bled out. We could have stabilized him, but we used our medkit on odessa earlier. Him going down caused BL88 to panic. Mission was finished before Piranesi died. End results of Mission 2 PFC Brian Fowler - Fatigued 5 days - Promoted to Specialist - Gunner class PFC odessasteps - Gravely Wounded 19 days - Promoted to Specialist - Medic class PFC Phil RIPPA - Fatigued 4 days - Promoted to Specialist - Engineer class - 1 kill PFC piranesi - Gravely Wounded 23 days - Promoted to Specialist - Medic class PFC BL88 - Wounded 12 days - Promoted to Specialist - Rocketeer class - 2 kills PFC Niners Fat in CT - Fatigued 5 days - Promoted to Specialist - Engineer class - 2 kills PFC the Natural - Fatigued 4 days - Promoted to Specialist - Gunner class - 2 kills PFC J.T. - Fatigued 5 days - Promoted to Specialist - Scout class - 2 kills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 We shot down a UFO! Time for mission 3. Bringing 3 Specialists and the rest of PFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 0 casaulties still, but it was a close call with Elsalvajeloco. Raziel put this medic skills to use to save her. Cristobal was driving me nuts, missing sniper shots he should have easily hit. END RESULTS FOR MISSION 3 I'm pretty sure these are overall kills through the whole game, not just this mission. So if a character didn't go up, they didn't get any kills this mission. SPEC Burgundy LaRue - Fatigued 5 days - 1 kill PFC cool arrow - Fatigued 4 days - Promoted to Specialist - Medic class - 1 kill SPEC Raziel 403 - Fatigued 5 days - 2 kills PFC Craig H - Fatigued 4 days - Promoted to Specialist - Assault class - 1 kill (killed the Outsider) SPEC Cristobal - Fatigued 4 days - 3 kills PFC Matt D - Fatigued 4 days - Promoted to Specialist - Infantry class - 0 kills (really earning that promotion there...) PFC Elsalvajeloco - Gravely Wounded 25 days - Promoted to Specialist - Gunner class - 1 kill PFC Death from Above - Fatigued 5 days - Promoted to Specialist - Infantry class - 1 kill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 All Specialists on this mission, because I'm all out of PFC. Got 10 more new recruits on the way though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 Canada has withdrawn from the council. For no reason at all. The map says they were spotted meeting with the aliens. Pricks. But the mission: Well done, gang. Couple of minor wounds, but Cool Arrow stopped them from being grave. Also, the Natural is killing it with the LMG I gave him. He's almost like having a 2nd Sniper on the squad. Craig H reminded me that the Run n Gun ability with a shotgun is so much fun. End results for Mission 5 SPEC cool arrow - Fatigued 4 days - 2 kills SPEC Niners Fan in CT - Fatigued 5 days - 2 kills SPEC Craig H - Fatigued 5 days - Promoted to Lance Corporal - Gained Close Combat Specialist ability - 3 kills SPEC Matt D - Wounded 15 days - 2 kills SPEC The Natural - Fatigued 4 days - Promoted to Lance Corporal - Gained Covering Fire ability - 3 kills SPEC Phil RIPPA - Wounded 6 days - 1 kill SPEC Cristobal - Fatigued 4 days - Promoted to Lance Corporal - Gained Gunslinger ability - 3 kills SPEC Brian Fowler - Fatigued 5 days - 1 kill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 odessa took a hit early on and panicked. Why am I not surprised? PFC J.T. - Fatigued 5 days - Promoted to Specialist - Scout class - 2 kills YES~! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I think the least shocking thing is that I have terrible stamina and I got shot. I am too old for this shit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Fresh Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 why I got to wear the fedora, huh I laughed my ass off when that popped up as the last option for helmet. It's staying. As a matter of fact, I may put the whole team in Fedoras. Except the Natural, whose hair is never going to be covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxB Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Cristobal was driving me nuts, missing sniper shots he should have easily hit. You should have found him a better camping spot. Otherwise he'll be too busy running away to aim properly. I tried to post in the other thread while I was at the library before work (my home internet is working now; It wasn't then) but the board logged me out before I could post. AxBlood or just AxB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Fresh Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 Uploading the screenshots is really slowing me down. I may only do that for important missions like UFO crashes from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
