First battle with the Cult

[HARD_Sarge]

I am still pretty early in my game, think I on the 6th day

 

in South Arm, I got 2 Cult provinces and 2 of my own (more in central Arm, and in Eruope)

 

I had tried a raid into one of them, but they were way too strong for me

 

was trying to rest some of my hurting troops, when they attacked me !

 

so had to respond

 

had a great battle ! ( even though it crashed 3 times n the middle of it)

 

I had 2 Lazer rifles, a lazer pistol and a shotgun, and one M4 rifle

 

killed 2 cultists, fast in a ally, and sent one of my cyborg to check the loot, then a number of other bad guys started to show up, so was only able to grap a M4 and take off running down the ally, trying to flank a sniper that popped up

 

that sniper, hit and really hurt my PSI, so she was down and out

 

my other Cyborg had a med kit, so rushed to her aid, while the other 2 members tried to protect her

 

once she was stable and ordered to get out of the line of fire, he fired off the last of his rifle ammo and then made a beeline to the dead Cultists to grap some of there's

 

the sniper went down, as well as two other Females, before that cyborg started takeing fire

 

my young shotgunner made a rush two the last of the Cultists, getting off a couple shots before being shot dead

 

the Psi pulled out her med kit and rushed to the aid of the fallen Cryborg, while the last two standing members took down the last of the cultists

 

end of battle, 10 Cultists down, I lost one young lady, the Cyborg and Psi are out for 4 days from there wounds, the other 2 are out for over a day

 

I got 2 M4 rifles, a HK33 ? and a AK 47, and a lazer sniper rifle, along with lots of side goodies

 

so a good haul, lots of Exp and almost no troops left

 

got some of the youngen's decked out with decent weapons and holding the fort until the old troopers (LOL level 5 and 6) get out of the sickbay

 

GREAT BATTLE

Sounds like fun . In the beginning, choke points are your friend. Line up your troops inside a door or something, and make sure they use snapshot. Spas shotguns with burst are good for instance.

Spas shotguns with burst are good for instance.

Yup. On my first Cultist encounter I ran up a hill with a shotgun to get that sniper that pinned my troops.

Cybies are cool.

Well as I am still pretty new to the game (on my 3rd start, but doing okay now)

 

still think the first Cult mission is the best one so far

 

the haul is just great when your a newbie, and are straining to do anything

 

wonder if they could add in medals or awards for combat in the system (my level 2/3 Cyborg, took down 7 Cultests in this mission, of course, he is still in the sickbay and has been for almost forever !!!!)

 

I even was able to get a simi high level Cyborg for hire (level 5) with training in Gunman, after a few missions, he has 2300 hit points !, pretty good for a rookie
