You know, I really wish they reduced the power level of the commander in these stories. He feels way too OP, and it kinda takes me out of the story a bit. He's always one step ahead and there's nothing to worry about with him around and he's ALWAYS got the situation under control. It's a little lame.
I wanna see him on the backfoot, I wanna see him getting drugged and beaten by nytos, I wanna see us being overpowered, and I want even minor bad guys be really big threats. I don't want '10 varjagers even without the support of a doll squad to be childs play' for him.

I think that's why the event stories with less of him are usually a lot more memorable, like in Vector's event or the one with Dmitry. The stakes are allowed to be higher since at least there's the risk of failure there. This event was decent, but the complete non-threat of dealing with the varjagers was a bit of a blemish on it.
