XCOM Game 1 Mission 5

After the last successful mission the team is ready to take on anything. Again there are alien abductions, and this time they are in Argentina, Australia, and Russia. We decide to send the team to Mendoza because of the high panic rating. The team consists of Squadmate Barcsay and Corporal Warner but we also have Corporal Came and Murphy to round out the team. This is the most experienced team to go into a mission.

A horde of aliens show up almost instantly.

And the team gets into position.

And Katherine gets the first kill!

But is then instantly killed by the other Sectoid! The Thin Men then poison Jonathan and hit Dan and Derm. Making Derm panic. Thankfully he does the right thing and hunkers down.

After the team doesn't hit a single alien, the Thin Men advance. First they kill Dan.

Then Derm is the next to go.

And then a lowly Sectoid takes out Jonathon.

Operation Shattered Stranger is a complete failure.

Without anyone stopping the abductions, multiple countries descend into chaos.

And that is the end of Game 1 because I lost the save game. But as you can see it was not a big loss. The next game is not nearly as much of a disaster.
