It's a "glitch" in the Research mechanics, once you get the Research unlocked you actually don't need to keep the live alien. I believe they have it on their radar to fix, but there are more "crash" fixes that come first.

You are most likely correct. I thought that depots were removed if they are used for attack or defense. It may be the updated rules. I appreciate your video and have been learning to play thanks to you and Stuka Joe's videos! What a great game! The Die differential / initiative / really add a great factor to this system. If you ever would like to play via vassal, I would be honored to oblige! I do not know that system to well, but have been tinkering with it.

I'll review the supply rules just to be sure about the Depots, as for a Vassal game I'd be up to at least give it atry, the module is a bit clunky in the Leader selection process, you need to "roll a die" and count counters in the "pile" to get a random pick, Here is a link to our local Wargamers Discord, we can try to work out scheduling there: discord.gg/XAGfY8pG

Great work, man. I just got done watching the Abduction Mission video, and now there's more to enjoy, and thanks for labeling the chapter parts too; it's much appreciated. And perhaps as a game tip, you should have separate types of teams for abduction and terror missions over UFO ones with dedicated loadouts, like stacking shields and bringing extra shields in the backpacks; smoke and frag grenades to just spam during the non-UFO missions, as civilians are more important there than just bringing back alien weapons. Or even using stun weapons to knock out running civilians so that aliens such as reapers, ignore them to raise that Panic level reduction at the end of missions.
@dren608 3 ай бұрын
Good ideas on Specific team builds for missions, I have found as long as my Tech is on par with the Aliens the current mix (2/3 LR, Tank, Shield, Sniper, MG, 2 Assaults) can handle the ever changing battlefield. I do go for longer ranged weapons on Assaults in Terror missions. For me any timed mission requirements is Most people with maximum time units (to make mad dashes)

This wipe they have an interesting combo where you can put battle armor inside of a tank and on the outside if it has firing ports and the outside battle armor has magnetic Claws, and you can get three attacks into the back of a Mech and drop it. Use a fast tank like a bandit and you can just zip right behind a heavy or a salt tank and all three of the units firing into its back, take it out. They'll probably remove that next wipe but it's pretty cool. They stay nerfing and buffing stuff. And you can take vehicles into the mec lab now and modify them which is cool also.

The Three Entities now exist as separate minor countries, you do diplomatic actions, DOW, etc. with them. The follow all the Minor country rules say for Greece or Hungary etc. Do note They are only created "If the Nazi-Soviet Pact is not in effect, skip Step 4. If it is in effect, the following occurs." So France needs to fall and the pact still in place for them to be created.

The also do that for several Inter-phase steps as well. (pacification and SVN Leader rolls) We can connect on one of the Vassal Servers and go through the mechanics if you'd like.
