The eleventh Mission of the Epsilon/Yuri Campaign in Mental Omega played on Easy (Just try this on Medium or Mental, I double dare you! Btw, I did not mean to abuse the bug, it really caught me offguard since I thought that you had to destroy the Radar and Airfield first before you can Trigger the War upon taking out the Iron Curtain...(How wrong I was.)

Man this Mission....... this Mission is the sole reason why I was dreading the Epsilon playthrough since the very beginning, let's just say that this Mission plays like a RTS Version of Metal Gear Solid at the highest difficulty on Medium and above, needless to say, it is outright painful...

Due to how easy it is to raise the Alarm on Medium I raged after the 30th try doing it the legit way and decided to Switch over to Easy since this Mission is extremly long and kinda boring to play (for me atleast) and just the tiniest mistake can force you to redo it all over again which makes this one very frustrating to play, it just drains you emotionally which is part of the reason this one took me so long.

Anyways, the objective is to break the truce that the Pacific Front has with China since their combined powers are a bit too much for Russia to handle, I mean come on, it already had 2 Fronts going all out against America and Europe, If anything Russia should be more or less defenseless at this point considering how many losses they had up so far. Luckily the Tension is still very high between the 2 Factions in Korea and Yuri got just the right people for the job, You will be tasked to destroy several key sturctures in both factions to make them believe the other one did it so they would engage a massive bloodbath whilst being undetected. (Fun fact, only the Iron Curtain matters, found that one out the hard way... it will be fixed in the next release.)

To start out you will get a Virus and Malver, Scorpion Cells cloaked Hero Assassin, my advice is to keep on scouting using Malver till you encounter either Tesla Troopers or Borillos as those can reveal him, take out the Infantry with your Virus and let Malver handle Vehicles, just stay away from Borillos. Head up North till you reach the Wall with the open space in it. (Watch out for Terror Drones!)

Take out the Patrol using the Way I described ealier and lead Malver further to the South to destroy that Kennel, now head up the road again and follow it to the West till you encounter the slope with the Barracks on top of it and take out the guards, you will gain a PsiCorps Trooper to assist you, use him to take over the Tesla Trooper charging that Tesla Coil to the bottom right of your Position, then destroy all the Sentry Turrets using the Crazy Ivan Patroling the area, don't worry, he's expendable. Now get your Virus up to the hill aswell to take out all Tesla Troopers charging the other Tesla Coils using the path where the Kennel used to be.

Now backtrack with your units to the position of the Kennel and head West from there, stick the the Cliff as close as possible so you don't get attacked, again use Malver to scout ahead, keep on going towards the Northwest and cross the Bridge, then take a turn to the right, this part can be quite tricky now, you have to Mind control the Qilin tank to take the fire while you use your Virus to aggro the Nuwa Cannon towards the West so you can take it over while you are getting out of the line of fire of the Tesla Coil before it can zap you. Now just push carefully to the Northwest and clear the way to the Iron Curtain, don't do what I did here! Pull your forces back to the starting location excluding the Nuwa before you take out the Curtain! Once It's down all hell will break loose and you have to get out again to a driller at your starting location. Once your units make it into the Driller, Mission Accomplised!

(On a side note you can watch the fight for about 15 ingame minutes or so, afterwards there will spawn a Nuwa right next to your Driller and snipe it before you can do anything, so don't stare for too long...I did not expect that first time around!)
