Sight... I knew it wasn't that easy.Anyway, all I need from you is to give me 16 people (5 of them ex- hign ranking members of an important branch in the Soviet Union (Militsiya, GRU, PGU, KGB, VDV). Atleast three pistols (Either Makarovs or Tokarevs, but I would prefer Yargins). 36 thousand rubles (Around 1000 dollars). Last, but not least: GYM Membership cards.If I pull it off in the right moment I will take over the Russian Federation in 4 years.

You start out with 30 people actually. Then you can have 2 "henchmen".
Henchmen can serve as advisors, especialist and mission leaders. I really took out alot from Evil Genius. xP
