thothkins Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Well, speaking about crazy ideas, how about you get a national bonus for everyone recruited at bases in particular nations?Everyone recruited in France can lie prone to be overlooked by hostiles. 1st September 1979 - The world is stunned by the appearance of 3000 UFOs in orbit. Only the Xenonauts aren't taken by surprise. 20th August 1979 - Except France who managed to surrender to the aliens before they had any knowledge of their imminent arrival. Yup, if you're going to do it, build it into the story.* *Humblest apologies to all our French buddies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course if they was a country the alien will take over first that will be France but not because it is easy... ho no... it is about this big tall stick in Paris (Eiffel tower for our americans reader making jokes about my fellows but who don't know anything about history but seing from hollywood... Ouch ! Cliché ! payback...) that they will adore to impale their alien's intergalactic ass with And for those brits that always think France capitulate so easy... Remember Chamberlain ? Maybe that won't have happen if it wasn't for some much old style "Empire confidence".. Cliché ? noooooo.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thothkins Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 How embarrassed would you be to have travelled across the galaxy, to have made an imposing statement by appearing suddenly in orbit ...only to impale your butt on the Eiffel tower? You'd never show face at the Intergalactic Villains Convention again. I'd like to compliment you on the witty retorts. But that would be appeasement, and you've already mentioned Chamberlain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
