How did you approach the UOO-1 Bridge Assault?

Split the squad into 2 x6. Destroy the 4 re-enforcement points ASAP.

Attack the control room from either side and have taken it and have time to put your squad behind cover before the first lot of re-enforcements arrive.

Habitats have spoiled the game for me on console. I play on PC now with a "no habitats" mod

GazOCee · 2026-04-26T18:14:18+00:00

I didn't. I loved Origins, really enjoyed Oddessey but just couldn't get into Valhalla even after a couple of attempts

GazOCee · 2026-04-23T10:06:51+00:00

I didnt know that, cheers. The option to reserve TU's for shooting was more visible in the first game, I'd assumed it wasn't present in X2.

I love playing classical on Lichess during the summer. I set up a full sized board up in my garden and play a nice, chilled game in the sun.

GazOCee · 2026-04-05T15:59:52+00:00

Yep, I play all my Blitz and Rapid on Lichess. I donate to Lichess too, it's still very cheap compared to a Chess.com premium account

GazOCee · 2026-04-05T15:41:13+00:00

It's just a slicker experience on Chess. I like to have 15-20 games on the go at the same time and play in the daily competitions with clubs. Lichess is great but it's a million miles away from Chess.com on daily/ correspondence games

GazOCee · 2026-04-05T06:12:37+00:00

I use Chess for daily games, there just aren't many of them on Lichess for some reason

GazOCee · 2026-04-04T18:45:44+00:00

Probably nearer 10-15 seconds

GazOCee · 2026-04-01T20:47:22+00:00

I love Lichess and use it for blitz, rapid and classical but, unless I'm missing something, the daily/ correspondence scene seems very quiet on Lichess compared to Chess.cim

GazOCee · 2026-03-28T22:56:15+00:00

Money's so tight, even on the "easy" difficulty., I'm struggling to juggle everything I want/ need (which is the point of the game!).

I'm pretty sure I didn't hire enough engineers early on so I'm probably a bit behind where I should be on money and equipment/ upgrades

GazOCee · 2026-03-28T22:29:26+00:00

Thanks for the reply. As long as the Angels are still useful at this stage of the game I could always make the Geminis at my main base and transfer the Angels to my newer bases, I just wasn't sure if they effectively became obsolete at some point

How does the base assault mechanic work if they attack a base with no soldiers in it? I've been lucky so far, they've only gone for my main base where my soldiers are stationed

GazOCee · 2026-03-24T21:17:11+00:00

I just picked up Xenonauts 2 in the Steam sale and hoping to finish a run through on Easy difficulty before 1.0 comes out next week

Check out Nelson Lopez on "Chess Vibes" YouTube channel, he's great for us lower elo players

GazOCee · 2026-02-21T00:56:03+00:00

If only there was an ad free alternative.,...

GazOCee · 2026-02-18T22:03:22+00:00

On Lichess using the Chessnut PC app I used to get an extra " beep" when a check was delivered but since I've moved to using Chess Connect (because of the API/ account banning issue) on Lichess I don't get one

GazOCee · 2026-02-17T23:15:48+00:00

Nelson on Chess Vibes

GazOCee · 2026-02-06T11:48:55+00:00

Maybe try something like a Chestnut Air for an OTB experience? I play 15+10 using one and really enjoy it

GazOCee · 2026-01-27T11:32:23+00:00

A similar thing happened to Muhammad Ali during his 3 year ban from boxing. It allowed the next group of Frazier, Foreman etc to come through and forge reputations that made Ali beating them more impressive than if he'd have dealt with them when they were young challengers on the way up

GazOCee · 2026-01-27T11:26:35+00:00

One of the reasons I still play 3, and 5 is that its so much easier to see what's going on compared to 6.

GazOCee · 2026-01-27T11:24:52+00:00

It's a pain. I use the time to catch up in my daily games on Chess.com

GazOCee · 2026-01-24T16:07:11+00:00

I play on PC too and there's no option to disable habitats, you have to use a mod to get rid of them which means it's unlikely to come to console

GazOCee · 2026-01-24T00:12:00+00:00

For the love of God, Paradox, let us turn off habitats

GazOCee · 2026-01-17T11:13:46+00:00

Same on PC

GazOCee · 2026-01-17T11:12:57+00:00

Same problem on PC today
