Zdravstvooeetye tovarish! ;p Pozdrav svima!

Here is my gloriously slow turtle-mode gameplay video in tribute to Никола Тесла, Nikola Tesla, Serbian-American inventor best known for Tesla coils, AC generators, and a remote control boat that onlookers thought was "magic" or clarketech essentially. He also cared for birds, pigeons in particular, though I think parrots are the coolest of the birds.

Yes, I know he's from Serbia and not Russia per se, congrats in advance for anyone who's going to comment that to correct me, and he was born on July 10th, 1856, in Smiljan, of the Austrian Empire at that time, during a lightning storm.

Footage is from the OpenRA version of one of my favorite games, C&C Red Alert, featuring the Tesla Shock Troopers of DOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!! I never fully completed the mission before, losing too many to the machine gun emplacements, hence why I took this slow this round. And you can see how to play better than me also, if you don't already.

Finally won this mission, and didn't have to restart after losing everyone to stinkin' pillboxes. -_- Could have done better in a couple places, and maybe used the demo trucks to clear out the last chokepoint to avoid losses in the final battle. Better ways to do things I'm sure, but I still did it; and you can see how you can win better if you like, as OpenRA is free and it even runs on a stupid potato computer like mine so it probably will work on yours as well. Enjoy or don't, though hope you shall. Pomaže Bog!

Either way, here's to Nikola Tesla!

And to the shock troopers making everything EXTRA CRISPY!
