On some level, I'm hoping he and Yumiko meet her, and he has to snap her out of it/lend her his sword for the fight. It'd balance well with this scene.

I hope we didn't spend too much of our luck on this battle...
Vote tally:
##### 3.21
[X] Turtle Up: Integra wants to make sure that her foothold in the city stays hers, and you can't blame her. A home base would be crucial to staying safe and reducing damage to your forces until you are in a good position to strike. Still, this maximizes possible civilian casualties.
No. of votes: 5
veekie, Shador, defenestrator, Artemis1992, Arkatekt
[X] All Guns Pointed Forward: The best way to save lives is to end the conflict, preferably with huge amounts of violence. Miyako recommends a forward charge with all forces, leading up to a nearby airfield, from which an aerial strike could take down the zeppelins, and destroy their bombing capabilities. Easily the most risky, for obvious reasons, but with the most potential benefits if it works.

[X] Hit and Run: Groups of fighters making their way through the city could reasonably do a lot of damage, and help save civilians and disrupt the enemy. A lot of your units, such as your swordsmen, are well suited to the work, and people like Akuma and Miyako leading the groups would surely lead to even greater success. Still, it leaves Hellsing Manor quite vulnerable.

Democracy is in the more complicated quests, when two or three people write out a plan and everyone bandwagons on one of those.
This is quite different from democracy as we practice it.

I hadn't heard about that. He bloody well better be fine and just gearing up to join the Nazi Slaughtering festivities, The LD Man told me to prepare for some Ho-Ho-Holy Shit and I certainly expect to see some Ho-Ho-Holy Shit going down.

he's not dead, but I think he's still too wounded to take to the field.

He should be healed enough to fight, unless I missed something between then and now.

I'm kind of wavering on that actually. I don't want to just stuff a bunch of overblown crap into this battle and make it even more long winded than it probably already will be. SO if people still want him, it shall be granted, but otherwise, I'm happy to take the reroll omake as a normal omake with the bonuses it entails.

Maybe compromise, and have him do stuff offsceen? And then we hear about his involvement at the end of the invasion?

I'm inclined stick with the initial result of Santa being wounded by AA fire, simply because it appeals to me more. Also, because I'm wary of allowing Omake bonuses to effect quests too much, as I like having a chance of failure in quests, and readily available rerolls/bonuses can decrease failure rates to near zero too quickly for my tastes. Also because I think the fight would probably work better thematically without Santa showing up given that there's no IC foreshadowing leading to it, unlike basically everything else that's shown up.
OTOH, you already said that he would be present, so there's a pretty good argument to make him show up based on that alone. Not my preference, but still a fairly strong argument.

Thematically, I'm not a fan of Santa being present. Not enough foreshadowing.

I just love the idea of Santa showing up to lay some smackdown on Nazi's personally. I really don't care if it makes the battle longer, we were looking forwards to this battle since the quest started, and if said battle lasts longer then expected? Then I'll just get that much more enjoyment out of it.
