"Very good, very good. I would ask you a favor, though..."

Draw my sword in one hand and hold it high. With the other hand, put the cornet to my lips and strike a heroic pose, as if from a painting.

"I am Mikhail Illarionovich Golenischev-Kutuzov, Field Marshal of the Empire! You might know me as one of the greatest commanders in history, the one who drove the French out of Russia and heroically defended it to open the way to today and this new Revolution that brought Russia to a new high; glory to the Union! Yet now these Fascists threaten our glorious way of life. It is our duty and joy to stop them, whether by dropping bombs near Belopol'ye or by flanking their forces near Volchansk. For the Motherland, they must be defeated! Yet woe upon us, we aren't at Volchansk, but Kursk, way too far to defend from here. But then I noticed this fine airplane ready for flight; it could be what would save the Motherland from this fiendish Fascist invasion!

Sheathe sword, put cornet away, gently grab the pilot's shoulder.

"In short, it is your duty to the Motherland to take a detour after your mission and take me and my Commissar to Volchansk. Are you up to it? A paradrop would suffice."

[SaberToothTiger]

"Sir! Behind you! A three headed bolshevik!"
Punch him in the face until he loses consciousness. Loot anything that seems even remotely important. Then grab my horses near the tent, place the dude on the wounded horse, sit him upright and tie him so that he doesn't just fall off. Then I ride out the camp in a mild hurry.

((This is a bad idea. This is a bad idea. This is a bad idea.))

[Helgoland]

I chuckle at the 'three-headed bolshevik' bit, then get ready to cover our Comrade's daring escape.

Kursk

Field Marshal Kutusov: [1-1+1]

You're Kutusov? Well, I'm Peter the Great, and if you don't stop bothering me this instant, I'll have you shot for drunkenness in the course of duty!

In the Polish Camp
May 8th 3:30

Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz: [3] v. [5] You jump at the lieutenant, but he step back and avoid your blow. [3] v. [6] He strikes back, but you're already rolling on the floor. [2] v. [4] You jump up again, but your punch once more fail to connect. Stepping back, the Lieutnant draw his pistol from his holster. Do you keep trying to stun in, or make a run for it?

[IcyTea31]

"Fine, I'll ask someone else."

Walk up to another plane of the flight, giving Polevoy a nod to follow.

Walk and talk: "I would appreciate a little help, Commissar. Maybe just you pulling rank and showing your favour of me and our cause?"

Repeat the performance on the new Bob's pilot.

[Comrade P.]

 - I will try my best. Let us try once more with your appeal, with me helping, then we will try to do it my way.

Assist Field Marshall in his negotiating attempts.

[SaberToothTiger]

Strike the fascists empty heaf with my fists and then repeat previous action.

[Sheb]

Oh, I started writing the rules as I make them up in the OP.

[Sheb]

As usual, I can't force you not to look into the spoilers that do no concern you, but I think the game will be funnier if you don't. Also, I need better CQC mechanics. Proposal welcome.

Behind Enemy Lines

 [3] v. [1], [4] With his hand one his pistol, the lieutenant cannot defend himself against your next assault. You punch him hard in the head, stunning him, and close in for another punch. [2] But just bruise him some. You keep closing in, hoping to prevent him from making use of his firearm. [4] v. [2], you hem him against the tent's cloth wall and [5], [5], [5], [3] grapple with him. You both roll on the floor, you trying to pummel his face, him trying to retreat back just enough to open fire.

[3] v. [1], [3] finally come a time where the Lieutenant manage to break from your embrace for long enough to open fire. [3][3] But his shots go wild. [3] v. [1], [5]. Once more you close him and push him to the floor, buying you some time. What will you do now?

Vasiliev and Sokoloff: You see Brzęczyszczykiewicz gets in the camp and seize the horse with his superior Communist riding skills. However, instead of making a run for it as you'd expect, you see him stepping inside one of the tents. Moments later, a lieutenant step in the tent. Nothing happen for a moment, then two shots ring in the night. Again, nothing.

Kursk

You move to the next plane and give your little speech again. [1+1-1+1] No one seems to believe you two are anything but bothersome drunks. The pilot of the previous aircraft do notice you however.

What did I tell you, worthless scum! Stop bothering real soldiers. I tell you what. Unlucky Ivan there lost two gunners on his last run. You'll fill the spot! Maybe you can at least serve as meatshields. I'd shot you myself, but that'd be a waster of a perfectly good bullet.

[Comrade P.]

 - That's just no good. Eyes are upon us now. We cannot afford to meddle around anymore, or NKVD will be after us. Come on, let us find a land vehicle.

Cross the airfield, walk on the very fringe of soviet camp, looking for a jeep or horses or something.

[IcyTea31]

"You know, I wonder how we were originally meant to be taken to our front...? Any idea?"

[Comrade P.]

 - The VDV officer might have had something to do with that. Not an option anymore.

[IcyTea31]

"Do you have any money or anything else valuable on you? I have an idea."

[Comrade P.]

((Well, do I, Sheb?))

[Sheb]

Apart from what's in your inventory? Well, I don't think large amount of cash makes sense, but if you want to decide your character got his grandfather's gold watch on him or something, you can.
