First, a mirror of the data, if someone has issues with Mr.Ghost's dynamic DNS:

And now a few things regarding the game itself from my point of view (apologies for making it so brief, I currently lack the time for more in depth analysis) as Yuri Orlov.
Yuri Orlov's actions:
- worked mostly in Bashir City, undercover as a secretary of the businessman from the Mashtooristan Chamber of Commerce
- dealing with Mayor
- dealing with Bashir Police Department and Mayor's office, obtaining as many weapon permits as possible
- made contact with our secret agent, the mayor's clerk in Bashir city
- visiting casino (received a mission from Berget Crew, being a gambling addict) at least once day
- accompanying Batyushka into Bashir City, observing NATO commander - helping Batyushka to coordinate attack by radio (failed, as there was no radio connection)
- made contact with the banker in the city
- met the priest and discussed with him and Batyushka the possibility of serving a mass in the church
- made contact with the pimp and tasked him to recon enemy bases in exchange for some financial benefits
- witnessed NATO attack on Bashir with the massacre in the church
- obtaining money to hand over to the HQ personnel
- made contact with Milo's Tigers and made an alliance with them
- tasked our dealer in the city, Brujo, to sell Orlov Roads and Demolition and ORlov Electricity and Television shares
- obtained mortar, mines and antitank missiles for sale
- obtained nuclear bomb suitcase
- made contact with the weapons dealer in the city to sell the nuclear suitcase
- sent the defusing keys to the nuclear device to Bashir city, one for sale by Brujo, the second by Tomy as a lumber jack straight to Mayor's office
- made contact with the Mayor in an attempt to make him to step down from the elections, offered to make him a prime minister and move the nuclear suitcase to destroy the NATO base (he did not cooperate and run away with all the city money and the bomb exploded after the civilians were evacuated and the city occupied by NATO).
A few remarks on the operation of Yuri Orlov Mercenaries during the Berget 7 campaign:
Perfect preparations of all HQ activities by Lynx, Mr.Ghost and all the other people involved that I do not know. Great job guys! The original agreement with Lynx that political/LARP activites will be separated from military missions, as he concluded that most people want to fight, worked as expected. Also the attempt to remain friendly at all times with the civilian population worked acceptably well.
The HQ operations worked smoothly most of the time, actually I've never seen such an organized HQ performance on an airsoft event so far. Of course, there wasn't always enough mission for all the foot soldiers (we accomplished 95% of the missions from the Berget crew with 18-20 hours from the game start), but that is inevitable at an event of this size.
A big thank you to all the people involved, hopefully there will be an opportunity to meet all of you at an airsoft event again.
Quite a few times I had off-game meetings with the crew to arrange small bits and pieces, the organizational part of the event has shown further improvement this year over the previous games.
