XCOM: The Long War [We're back in action]

Well since they're in cover, I would suggest checking to see who has the best shot.

Take the best shots you have and hope they hit.

Now depending on the range, I would suggest using grenades to remove their cover and leave them open for your shots.

But if that's not possible, I would suggest trying to flank and hope the Sectoids miss their shots.

That's how I would do it.

Edit: Shutting up about mission advice for here on out unless asked.

I really don't mind. The OP did state that "the best tactical minds in the world" were gathered to give support.
 
Engaging in a firefight is foolish. Didn't you see their weapons? They clearly have superior ranged options than we do. On the other hand, they appear physically weak and fragile.
Charge in and rend them apart at close range.
 
I'll be admin personel, just like in Exposure's LP! After all, I already have the sweater IRL, so it would be of bad taste to dirty it with my own blood, right?
 
I volunteer to fight and die for the cause.

I'd advise using our usernames as nicknames instead of surnames (because I doubt anyone could have an alphanumeric combination as a surname), but given that this is the Long War, I doubt we'd survive long enough to get nicknames.

They can't afford it either. Taxes.

The Government needs to fund XCOM somehow.

We'll buy them... on the Grey Market.

''Commander, why is France asking for seven stuffed Sectoids?''

''We obey without asking, Mr. Bradford.''

''Yeah, but why does the requirement says they must be painted with bright pastel colors... and the delivery made in the Hologlobe Room?''

All taxidermists are dead, Rufus.

That's why you have to love your friendly neighborhood necromancer. And given the kind of losses we'll face in this LP, you'll have to have one to see it to the end.

All necromancers died on the front lines too. Why do you think such a low-budget project as ours finally got a slightly better funding?

Because there are no alternatives. The militaries are holding... barely, with a horrific attrition rate.

Oh, so the dudes asking for money outside the mall to save the world in incredibly realistic X-COM costumes were actually the troopers? Just asking, because one of them told me they needed to beg just to pay the taxi back to base after a mission. If that's true, we'll have to set up some carpooling for the commandos.

First order of business, people: let's rob some girl-scout cookie-sale team to double our annual budget! I think we can all agree nothing could go wrong, huh?

We have done that already.

You really should start attending meetings.

I haven't seen any meeting except the funeral for Team Alpha and Bravo, so...

Oh.

I see.



Weren't those teams the only actual soldiers we were provided with, supposed to train the bunch of meatshields we're receiving right now?

They were. Sadly, aliens wiped them out with an air strike... somewhere in Namibia? All that remained of 16 dudes could fit into a gasoline can, according to the commander of the SAR team.
