I'm starting to build up my ironman team as we speak, running through the Ferrari Lance and focusing on getting my Hydra builds just how I like them before I open anything else up. I'm actually trying out a pistol/de-buff build for my captain in this squad, so let's hope things work out.
I'm thinking that coupling the captains +crit vulnerability debuff with the Hydra's innate +crit% will be pretty effective. I'm still planning on bringing a piercing fire scout along, though!

I don't have time to join this challenge - I'm confident that the Neptunes will do well, but Hydra tech has certainly improved since TA  ... still only good for BBQs though ......... |

I'm slowly working my team towards the start point, so nothing of huge substance to post yet. However, I will say that my crit stacking idea has been working pretty well so far. Looking forward to seeing it in full effect once I get a couple more levels under my belt!

I'm looking forward to getting more people to the actual levels. I see @rearick is there with his Neptunes. I just made it through the relatively calm Infiltration Site and Drop Shaft and am looking forward to Tunnel Complex. There should be lots of opportunities to deploy some Hydras there. I see there spawn point capping ability as being huge in that level.

I'm working the Neptune Brigade through the early deployments now. Since Spring break will be starting tomorrow, I will have plenty of time to blast those Xeno.

I can honestly say this recent discussion/challenge has raised my interest in playing BF again.

I too am working my way through the early levels. Hoping to make it through the whole challenge in just two weeks-- my 3yo takes up a ton of my time so finding BF time is tricky.
Just want to say that our roster looks great for this challenge: two NMI and a Brutal on each side so far.

Ok 6 Hydras on Tunnel Complex was a little insane, and everyone was still down to 1 or 2 napalm charges at the end. I too am working my way through the early levels.

Just want to say that our roster looks great for this challenge: two NMI and a Brutal on each side so far. I had the advantage of having a group ready to go when I started the challenge. Definitely give your kid your best time. Games always gotta take a backseat to the little ones. |

I am like En1gma's camp and hoping I can finish in 2 weeks I got through the setup and first Ironman level last night. Siege of Tundeer, coming up! A long way to go (7 levels?) before I can start the 10 level run I think. |

We could see about adding some time if everybody needs some more. I don't know how I did it, but even though I counted the levels out twice I just realized today that I actually picked 12 levels.
We could just make it 12 levels or I could knock off the last two, though I think Traitor's Bunker is a good level to end on.

contributor - the level section looks really good, I'd keep it at 12.

My squad just squeezed through Tundeer, it was a close call. I got my 2 Neptunes out, and my only casualty was my Hydra ... how fitting  It was pretty awesome having two Neptunes blast their way down to the southern gate - at the final turn they both had reactor shutdowns at the same time lol. I am focusing on building up a Scout-Neptune squad. So far, so good |
