Now, sadly, I doubt I'll be up for the narrative amusement that others have managed. Yet I do hope that some of this will amuse some of you. Today just some introductions. I got most of the ponies from the post over on Equestria Daily. Though I have tweaked and changed things here and there. Most of the FimFiction peoples I grabbed from the helpful MrNumbers. Though most of the review folks are my own work. Which was tricky as I wanted comedy but didn't want to offend. I also started the game a

More XCOM adventures from our army of FimFiction and Pony human forces.

Tossing open the doors for people's suggestions for ponies, Fimfic users, or anyone else pony-related to add to my XCOM soldier pool. I want to have a nice big one before starting my new game. So if your favorite/least favorite pony/author/artist/whatever/etc isn't here, I'd be happy to add them. I do need more bad guys to add to the list for kidnap missions and the like.

Don't send out a team made up of Super Trampoline, Estee, and Cerulean Voice. The mission won't go well. Especially if you think Cerulean Voice is a ninja and he isn't.

Because I realized that I didn't have an important FimFiction author in my army of expendable cannon fodder.

Wanted to add a few more custom soldiers to my xcom2 character pool. So I did.

Because I realized I didn't have him in my FimFic army.

Time for the third mission! Where the recruits we just found lurking in a abandoned warehouse get sent on a important mission. Yes, we here at xcom are just that crazy. Let's see how the after-action report turns out, shall we?

...right, going to be one of those missions isn't it? At least the use of explosives didn't kill the entire team in the first few minutes.

Back to the continuing adventures of the wildly desperate resistance against our alien overlords.

Second mission with team 2! Woo! Some big VIP needs kidnapping. Or killed. Let's go with kidnapping. That's always less messy. Second string team is thus: Rainbow "Awesome" Dash, Sweetie Belle, Ben "Pascoite" Baker, and The "Magello" Strongest. Yeah, the odds of someone as a casualty are pretty high. Which is going to hurt down the line since I've got a mod that actually keeps track of team cohesion. So I'll be doing my best to stick with the same teams for missions instead of mixing and

Because Titanium Dragon made me realize I hadn't shown his, and I forgot Fancy Pants in the last one. So here are four more.

In retaliation of us hitting their secret facility, the aliens attacked one of the resistance camps that have been supporting us. Team Review gets sent out to deal with them. Remember, save at least some civilians guys. Even the ones that write terrible fanfics. Also I realized that reviewers apparently really like the flying robots. Three of the five people in the squad have them.

Just some normal missions today. Nothing really exciting or interesting happened for a few missions. Just our heroic warriors (and Horizon) get sent out to kill aliens, dead aliens and victory. Along with the research and base building in the background.

Another set of missions from our crazy resistance movement.

Got around to finishing up the last few lost soldiers of my XCOM/FimFiction army. Also added a few new ones. Still open to suggestions. Up to 75 or so, if the export feature is to be believed but I can always use more to limit the number of doubles that show up in the game.

Otherwise, I think Silver "Journal" Glow is becoming my current favorite soldier. She likes to find the highest spot and just take pot shots at bad guys. Named her gun "Unicorn" and when asked she tells people that it's because her sniper rifle is long, pointy, powerful, and only useful when someone intelligent can point it's destructive abilities in a safe direction.

Due to the disaster of the last mission, got a new recruit and developed more fancy tactics. Squad size is now seven and bleeding out will be a bit more common than outright death. Just need to remember to make sure squads have medkits to stablize the dying soldiers. New recruit is Apple Bloom.

So I'm going to play more XCOM2, and that means time to check on the FimFiction army of doom. Which I have realized is missing some important soldiers. Anyone out there want to give suggestions? I'm not as inspired with clever (or ridiculous) bios but I want to at least get names in there. Added Super Trampoline, Bad Horse, Pineta so far. Anyone else I should add to the army that I may or may not be throwing into the meat grinder of alien weaponry in a poor excuse of what I believe is 'tactics'?
