Status so far:
Koschei has 8 infested drones (6 Soldiers, 1 Sergeant, 1 Industrial-Repair) and 2 willing followers. (Mr. Ford and Dr. Edwards in an Industrial-Repair chassy and Civilian chassy respectively)
Koschei's activities are at %65 suspicion by the Russian Government.
Koschei has remembered: Willpower (Godmind Infestation is faster) and IFF Targeting (drone accuracy is better).

Corporate-Political Officer Ivan Tsarevitch has Low (%10) Political Clout and Very Low (%5) Funds.

{Passive: Godmind Infestation} Koschei's physical touch and ALL of Koschei's damaging abilities and basic attacks inflict Godmind Infestation to Omnics and Drones, slowly converting them into Koschei's servants. Omnics with high willpower or Drones with tight security protocols have the opportunity to resist Godmind Infestation or outright defeat it. Koschei can choose not to infest a target if he wills it. (Koschei's drones do not spread the infection).

{Passive: Koschei can shift his consciousness into any Omnic or Drone that has been completely Infested. If Koshei's current shell is killed, his consciousness automatically shifts into the nearest Infested Omnic or Drone.}

Koschei's current shell is a Soldier-Class Omnic:
{LMB} Sniper Rifle firing Hard-Light Construct projectiles.
{RMB} Scope
{E} Minor Fortification: Root yourself to improve accuracy and gain resistance to most forms of crowd control.

{LShift} Hard-Light Barrier Projection: Koschei drains his own personal shield to project a slow moving hemisphere of shielding that travels slowly towards a targeted location. Great for negating a direction of fire, but leaves Koschei very vulnerable to flanking attacks. This ability moves with Koschei's consciousness from shell to shell.

Ivan Tsarevich has a powerful, tanky personal shield generator and has revealed some of his abilities (Some are yet to be voted on!)
{LMB} Obrez. Powerful bolt-action pistol of soviet traditionalism.
{RMB} ???
{E} Blackfire Napalm round: Load Ivan's Obrez with a powerful incendiary round that coats the target area in Blackfire Napalm, a leftover from the Omnic Crisis in Finland.

Lt. Kuznetsov was found on this mission. He's revealed some of his abilities.
{LMB} Dual-Wield AK-47 assault rifles.
{RMB} Insult Koschei
{E} Deploy/Trigger a C4 satchel charge.

The war is going badly. But then, the war is always going badly.

Koschei's forces have liberated the Field Hospital and have begun evacuating Russian wounded, but Chernobog has unleashed a massive counterattack that seems beyond what Koschei's forces can handle.

Lt. Kuznetsov and his small squad of 4 drones under Koschei's control has taken cover directly in front of Chernobog's horde and have been laying what fire they can into the advancing foe. But two Eradicator-Class omnics with massive force-shields have linked up side-by-side to protect their armies' advance from Kuznetsov's fire.

Commissar Ivan's squad was set up in a flanking position to prevent this very thing from happening, but Chernobog has sent a small detachment to outflank and disrupt Ivan's position. He must deal with the outflankers instead of punishing the massive avancing horde.

>>1618504
>>1618590
Koschei himself was also set up in a far distant position flanking the Chernobog horde with sniper fire, but he's staring off into space remembering something instead of shooting. Whatever it is, you hope it's worth it.

You are Corporate-Political Officer Ivan Tsarevich:
You've got an excellent position to pour fire into the main thrust of Chernobog's advance, but you're being outflanked. You have no cover against your outflankers, and they have cover against you.

>>Retreat to a more covered position. Defensive option, your squad will be safe from outflankers but the Main Chernobog force will advance uncontested. {LShift: Sprint}

>>Charge the outflankers! Negate their cover! Aggressive option, you'll take a few free shots, but you'll be fighting on even ground with the ouflankers. Also, if you win your squad will have an extra crossfire position to punish the main Chernobog force even harder. {LShift: Melee Charge-Dash}

>>Stand your ground. Ignore the outflankers. Punish the Chernobog forces now and hard. Ivan's squad will take heavy damage from the outflankers, but so will Chernobog's main army. {LShift: Order:"Hold The Line!"}

>>Something Else

>>1653771
>Charge
but if no one else votes
>HOLD THE LINE

>>1653771
>>Charge the outflankers! Negate their cover! Aggressive option, you'll take a few free shots, but you'll be fighting on even ground with the ouflankers. Also, if you win your squad will have an extra crossfire position to punish the main Chernobog force even harder. {LShift: Melee Charge-Dash}

"Forward, heroes!" Ivan's deep roar rivals the staccato of plasma fire as he rushes headlong into the line of unsuspecting outflankers. His powerful Obrez detonates a wall they'd been taking cover behind and through that wall surges an angry storm of a man hellbent on shattering omnic faceplates with his...

>>Bare Fists and Mighty Foot.
>>The People's Hammer.
>>Hammer and Sickle. We'll have to put away the Obrez, but for style points it may be worth it.
>>Electrified Sword. Sword and Pistol, Classic Commissar.
>>Rocket-Propelled Pick. For when you really want to drive the point home.
>>Butt of his Obrez. Peak cheeky breeki.
>>Bayonet on his Obrez. Because of course there's a fucking bayonet on his Obrez.
>>A shout of 'OH YEAH!!!'
>>Something Else

Ivan's squad follows his example lest they be made into one and storm into the breach after him.

Wrathful arcs of blue lightning dance across Ivan's sword as he cuts into the outflanking omnics. His charge draws all of their fire as they desperately try to focus down this menace to their plans. Enduring their withering volley costs Ivan all of his personal shields, but he has them disoriented and out of cover.

Ivan singlehandedly cuts down three of the seven outflankers. The arc lightning of his sword makes even glancing blows with this weapon deadly against the mechanical omnics. His squad guns down an additional two. There are only two of the hated outflankers left. "Hold your position and fire into the main thrust of Chernobog's advance!" He orders, "I'll handle these stragglers!"

On the other side of the field, things are looking grim from Lt. Kusnetsov's perspective. He'd chosen to set up directly in front of the advance when he thought Koschei and Ivan would lay down flanking fire for him from opposite sides of Chernobog's advancing force.

"Cowardly omnic dog-swine has abandoned us counting crows. Foolhardy grovelling company-man with expensive haircut thinks he can play soldier with his sleeves down. Team is useless, mangles the firewood, and here I am like herring in the barrel with no backup, no escape, and death certain." Kuznetsov grumbles as a ceaseless torrent of plasma bolts rain around his diminishing cover. By his count, this is either the 4th or the 5th worst place he's ever been. It's a toss up between this and when he was made to go to Catholic School.

As Kuznetsov's squad hunkers down further behind the glowing-hot truck and the Chernobog forces advance nearly on his position to overwhelm him, a deep menacing voice from hell itself bellows from where Koschei The Deathless had been perched.

"пpихoдят, мoи пpиcпeшники!"

(2:03 is the intended line)

A wave of what looks like a thousand fiery green imps floods from Koschei's sniper perch and into the Chernobog ranks, coalescing and taking root in the shattered bodies of Chernobog's casualties. Immediately, the ranks of Chernobog's fallen omnics reignite and stand on their own two feet again, weapons in hands. This time, instead of the omnious black underlight of Chernobog's control, these omnics glow with the haunting white light of Koschei's Godmind Infestation.

"Ivan, you fool. You've doomed us all!" Kuznetsov witnesses the scene with a mix of horror and relief. On the one hand Koschei the Deathless has returned, on the other hand the Chernobog main advance is now in chaos as Koschei's newly risen omnics turn Chernobog's neat and orderly marching advance into a whirlwind chaos of a swirling melee.

"Their shields are down! Fire!"

You are Kuznetsov: The implacable enemy before you is disorganized fighting Koschei's newly resurrected reinforcements. But Koschei didn't resurrect that many of them, Koschei's forces are still horribly outnumbered. This distraction will not last long.

>>Pour hot vengeance into the enemy before you!
{LShift: Order:"First Rank Fire, Second Rank Fire!"} Double the attack speed of Kuznetsov and all nearby allies.

>>Send your unit into the melee with Koschei's forces. >>{LShift: Order:"Chaaarge!"} Double the movement speed of Kuznetsov and all nearby allies for a very brief time and increase their melee damage.

>>Take this opportunity to retreat to a defensive position. Kuznetsov's unit will be safe temporarily, but Chernobog's forces may capture the Field Hospital in his absence.

>>{E} Toss a Satchel Charge into the melee.

>>Pour hot vengeance into the enemy before you! {LShift: Order:"First Rank Fire, Second Rank Fire!"} Double the attack speed of Kuznetsov and all nearby allies.

"Throw steel!" Kuznetsov breaks from cover and opens up with his twin assault rifles. His squad does the same, taking advantage of the momentary lapse in enemy fire to strike a more aggressive pose. A converted Sergeant-Class omnic in Kuznetsov's squad marks one of the Eradicators with his squad-targeting reticule. "Priority target designated," it utters coldly before firing.

The fusillade is decimating. Between Kuznetsov's twin rifles, his squad's accelerated shots, and Koschei's newly resurrected drones in melee, nearly half of Chernobog's main advance falls destroyed before they can rally. The Eradicators flail wildly, their powerful long-range weapons and broad force-shields useless when surrounded by up-close attackers clambering over their gargantuan bodies, they still manage to drop two of the newly resurrected Koschei converts. The Eradicator designated by the converted Chernobog Sergeant takes more than it's fair share of punishment. It falls to one knee, it's shield shattered. It tries to gather itself and stand back up, but a single powerful shot from Koschei above executes it.

There are still plenty of Chernobog troops to go, but their numbers have thinned. Between Koschei's resurrected reinforcements, Kuznetsov's squad, and Ivan's crossfire they should be dealt with shortly, even the remaining Eradicator.

...

Ivan stands above the broken bodies of the two stragglers. The small detachment that had been sent to outflank him has been crushed, but as he surveys the facility before him another roar of steel and electrobolts emanate from Chernobog's fortress. Another wave of Chernobog's troopers are storming out of the gate.

"Mr. Tsarevich," Ivan's comms crackle to life, it's the company code. "The board has been monitoring your progress and we are impressed by your efforts. Your requisition order has been authorized."

"It's about time."

You are Ivan Tsarevich, before you is another wave of Chernobog troopers.

"Illya Muromet."

"Password recognized, Mr. Tsarevich. Package inbound. Additionally, the second Medivac flight has arrived and will land as soon as the Field Hospital is cleared of hostiles. Also be advised; the RDF forces in your area have rallied and are beginning another push."

"Koschei," Ivan switches from the company code to Koschei's frequency. "Another wave's coming out the gate and the RDF are coming at us from the other side."

"Between Kuznetsov and Zarya, I'm certain they can mop up what remains of Chernobog's previous advance. I can have my troops abandon their current battle to assist you." Koschei will lose control of the excess troops resurrected by his ultimate soon, so he has some disposable omnics.

"Bear in mind, Zarya's forces are coming back fresh and you've got some disposable bodies. This may be an opportune time to stage that fight with the RDF our bosses think is so important. Perhaps you could even lose to her in that Eradicator you've been taking over?" Ivan hopefully suggests.

"Chernobog has one of my memory stacks. I may need the RDF at full strength to help me penetrate the facility's defenses." Koschei considers.


You are Koschei the Deathless. You will soon lose control of the excess omnics resurrected by your ultimate. The melee between your resurrected troops and Chernobog's previous wave is nearly over and the RDF will soon be upon you. What should we do with the excess troops raised by our ultimate before we lose control of them?

>>Turn them back and fight Zarya's forces with them. When the RDF gets reduced down to just Zarya, fight her 1v1 and throw the match as planned. (This will accomplish your secondary objective, but may cost you too many forces to successfully take Chernobog's Memory Core.)

>>Have your troops charge forward into the next Chernobog wave. We'll soften up Chernobog's defenses with our disposable troops, then the RDF will be at full strength to attack Chernobog's facility. (This will leave the RDF at full strength, which may make singling out Zarya for a 1v1 fight difficult or impossible. But your odds of successfully attacking Chernobog's facility and recovering your precious memories are increased.)

>>Have your troops charge forward into the next Chernobog wave, but send The Eradicator back to fight Zarya's forces. With Zarya's forces at full strength we might not get the epic 1v1 fight all the propaganda reels want, but we -might- get the fight we need and we only risk losing one Eradicator. (This is something of a risky middle-ground option)

>>Something Else

>>1659009
okay Idea time send half of the the disposable men at the chernog units

then send the other half to LEAP at zarya for a body slam type attack but make a few noises before doing so then she can kill them pretty quick. even better if they die mid-flight.

>>1659015
IGNORE THEN OTHER PDF MEN. DO NOT ENGAGE. SNEAK OR ZERG RUSH AT ZARYA DO NOT ATTACK ANYTHING BUT CHERNOG UNITS.

this is important as it shows the "hero" is that well known by the enemy that they would gladly sacrifice themselves to try and stop the "glorious" charge by our national hero. hell even have some stop and cower at the sight of her. shit will be funny if it goes well.

and no one is harmed in this undertaking and only slightly delaying zarya and her unit
