The OOC

[alertcommando]

Welcome to PLOT. It is time to fight the good fight, kick ass from moral high ground and get the satisfaction of helping the cause of freedom.

First things first: the area is rocky and mountainous, with lakes, streams and patches of woods. The arrival and exit point would be an old WWII bunker, broken open but standing enough whole for a door. From the arrival, each team receives a map and their instructions of where to go and what to do. If everybody is okay, we can handwave previous gatherings where strategy and plans were discussed, for the sake of internal logic.

Next, the general rule for this OOM is "god away", meaning, they are facing normal rank-and-file conscripts. Sneaking is a matter of common sense and timing, but unless you want your pup to get in trouble, you can assume things work out fine. Also, in combat, feel free to do stunts as you wish.

For those unfamiliar with the setting as a whole, Tanya comes from an 'alternative history' world: in her Earth, there was no Adolf Hitler. He simply did not exist. The Nazi party never rose to power, and so World War II happened twelve years later, when Josef Stalin sent his Red Army to conquer Europe. This new war was more destructive than the 'normal' one was in other Earths, but was finally won.

The Allied High Command placed a Romanov in the new Russian government, thinking a member of the old imperial family would be glad to rebuild the Soviet Union down a road of peace.

In the early 60's, Premier Alexander Romanov, commanding a powerful new, rebuilt Red Army, attacked North America in three fronts, while keeping the European Nations from interfering by threatening nuclear bombardment.

The mission is simple, but not easy: disabling the command center for the eastern Europe missile system, so Germany, France and England can mobilize and open a new front against Russia, and hopefully stop Romanov from sending more troops to North America.

So, what is at stake? Just, turning the tide of war.

No pressure.

Now, questions go here, and this thread section will be removed before the OOM is posted, when completed.

Team One - Diversion

[alertcommando]

Down in a valley, sits the power distribution complex, an hour walk from their arrival spot. Eight tesla generators in two lines of four, barracks, a command post... the complex is fenced with chain link, barbed wire and sandbags; half-track vehicles stand guard along with gun turrets, and soldiers patrol the area with dogs.

Now, to turn off the power, how? Tesla Generators are simple, sturdy machines, resistant to damage but vulnerable to sabotage.

The power lines running from the base are more fragile... so it is a choice between subtle and unsubtle?

Team Two - Intel

[alertcommando]

The Soviet Battle Lab rests high above the plains and five miles straight east from the entrance point from Milliways; the only road is narrow and well-watched, high concrete walls and guard towers stand on the way of would-be invaders. A air of gun turrets and of tesla coils stand at the only entrance ready to fend off attacks, and flak cannons rise their muzzles to the sky looking for airborne targets.

Team Three - Invasion

[alertcommando]

The last group has the worse of all tasks: wait until the other two are done with their jobs, and then move fast to the target.
