Playthrough of Mental Omega 3.3.6 Soviet mission #24 - Death's Hand on Mental Difficulty.
muffled Annihilation March continues to play in the distance
While not everything went as planned and main bulk of Soviet forces in the outskirts of Moscow has been elliminated by the faulty targeting of makeshift tactical payloads, they did served their purpose - Road to Capitol is now open for all Soviet forces who are preparing to lay siege on final Yuri's hiding place. However, during the missile strike our Cyborgs were immobilized, and Volkov was taken by Yuri himself. This however will not stop the advance of combined forces from Ural, Moon and Stalingrad. It's time for the liberation.
This mission seems like a basic "destroy all objectives" on the paper, but in the end its the invisible timer that is your true enemy. Your first task is establishing the base and clearing all the outskirts enemy bases - you are provided with enough forces to sweep the area while rest of your infantry keeps the base secured. Destroy all 3 conyards and barracks that they deploy, as all of them will start spamming varied infantry on large scale. After that comes a big wave of enemy vehicles - keep your mobile team on the move and you should be able to keep yourself safe.
Build up to tier 3, with Atomheart being your first tech structure. This will unlock you later access to Centurion, who will play a key role in this mission further on - after that go for classic Nuke/Curtain/Factory refill when possible and then start building Latin Confederation Lab. Your mobile taskforce will head to Ural taskforce and help them, siege - its a 1v1 situation there, unlike on opposing front where you have 3 friendly AI's in combat with Epsilon. Help them by destroying Concrete Fortresses and Psychic Towers with captured and repaired SCUDs. In meanwhile you should receive the MCV - send two of them to Ural base, one to the Stalingrad forces. Deploy factory at Stalingrad base, create the Centurion and proceed with pushing that area. 3 Kirovs could help too - send them against hidden Iron Curtains - there are designated markers on the map which reveal their locations - After they are done send them towards nearby Epsilon production faciltiies.
In fact, focus on destroying all the production when possible as quickly as you can - and you create Latin lab just for that reason. Buratino is a hidden superunit of this mission - its ability to autotarget enemies is invaluable when you can make numbers of them and let them deal with enemy buildings and defenses. This mission will put your multitasking to similar level of Fatal Impact - but maybe to lesser extent. Make sure to use one of your Nuke strikes to destroy the damaged Amplifier to recall more of forces for both of your allies to the battlefield.
In meanwhile, Hands of Ereshkigal should appear on battliefield and will be sent towards your ally bases. To disable them for period of time, you will need to infiltrate them - a group of Saboteurs will join you shortly after and this will be their primary task. Be careful however, as one of Converters is defended by a Spook - nothing a Flame Turret couldnt deal with. You will buy yourself 14 minutes of borrowed time - make sure to utilize it properly, for helping Starlingrad team push through defenses and start solving the Iron Curtain puzzle. Once sttealthed Curtains are destroyed, one of the main ones will reveal itself at time. There are 6 Curtains that must be destroyed in randomly generated order. Scout the map and make sure to check which one will be next target - and use your closest attack team to breach through to it.
Another matter is Perun Flagship - a flying vessel with powerful Tesla enhancements that is under Yuri's control. This however can be changed - there are 2 Radar Towers that must be captured to divert the command of Perun to you - that should help quite a lot. Another side objective would be destroying the Beacon that is controling Black Guard. Freeing them will grant you additional ally.
Once you destroy all Iron Curtains, Volkov will emerge from Kremlin. Use CHitzkoi to get rid of him in similar fashion you could do to Cyborg Commando on the moon. After that, Yuri will try to escape. You will receive potential escape positions and a lot of reinforcements to cover them. Send small team to each of the areas and wait for Yuri's arrival. Once he dies, all Epsilon forces will begin their all to hunt action and will ultimately fall. Mission Accomplished!
About ending? Soviets have no idea how much they helped Remnant forces. Psychic Beacon in Moscow was meant to be one of main instalations, and with it, they let them
