I’m thinking along the lines of making it look like a Russian crackdown… Having the people move in and slaughter everyone, wreaking havoc, grabbing Catherine and getting out. Hopefully, we create enough chaos in the Ukranian organization to buy us some time to get our people out, and getting Peter to make some concessions.
However, I’m starting to warm to the idea of letting the Ukranians be executed, and hoping that Peter declares war, thus setting him up as the antagonist… This, of course, depends on us having the superior army.
