I set myself up on top and the rest of the squad moves down the road towards the Objective:
Pod waiting in the building.
Jowy Hacks the Tower (56% chance, downside would have alerted nearby pods):
Success, but we were nicely set up so a fail would have just drawn them into our web.
A second pod patrols in from the right:
Set up the overwatch trap and trigger it with a Sniper shot to the Sectoid:
Jowy & Grenadier finish the Sectoid and the Trooper, but unfortunately this also triggers the pod in the building. Officer Marks & shoots the Gren for 3 damage, then the Trooper misses its shot. <phew>
I seem to have missed a couple of screenshots here, but Gren blows up the Officer's cover for a Sniper round, while the Trooper gets Sworded:
We pick up an extra Expanded Mag:
And then Jowy & I team up to take out the Relay at long range:
I jump down from the van to use the Medkit on Gren, then we spend ~10turns slowly circling the map until we find the last pod hidden behind the Objective building:
Grenade & shot take out the Trooper, but it's no rest for the wicked as the Sectoid raises him again:
Nick the Sectoid with another Grenade and then he can be Sworded to finish the Mission:
Excellent:
10days off isn't too bad considering:
I left the promos pending for discussion - it seemed like the thing to do.
Our loot:
& Creepy Backlit Guy (CBG?) gives us an Engineer:
Engineer is also unassigned; there's only a couple of days left on the School, but probably worth speeding up. And there's still the Rumour out there for a second Engineer.
Old Report:
Walk down road
Dreylin (Sniper) on Camper Van
2x 2pod, eliminated
Grenadier injured (10days recovery)
Device neutralised
...
...
10t later, find last pod
Grenade, sworded.
Loot: Extra Magazine
Reward: Engineer
Promos pending: Jowy(Spec) & Ranger
Creepy backlit guy gives us all the responsibility.
I usually use different colors to differentiate between the different classes.
Ranger: Red
Sniper: Blue
Grenadier: Yellow
Specialist: Green
But that's just me.
Looks like a good turn. The ranger should promote to phantom, that ability is a lifesaver on missions where we don't start in concealment, and is useful on normal missions as well. Jowy can go either way, both Medical and Combat protocol are very good. I'd probably go with Medical, although I'm happy with either.
Let's research communications ASAP and contact the blacksite region.

WK: SS1? Also who would you typically put the 'Mag onto; Sniper or Gren?
Squad Size 1.
Definitely Sniper for the Mag. Grenadiers can reload and shoot in the same turn, Snipers cannot.
Good prep for Kill Zone too.
Snipers sometimes have to move to catch up with the team, on these turns they can't shoot or overwatch (except with a pistol) so it's a good time to reload.

That would be useful if we had a large squad like in EU Long War. I prefer the united colors when we only have 6 max.
Agreed on Phantom, just have to remember that we have it. I'd highly prefer Combat Protocol over Medical. Guaranteed hit and guaranteed damage is maybe the greatest thing ever.
Hybrid Materials next.
Good job with the mission.
Could keep the red, have the other color be something more normal and it'll look good.
