"...Christian will most likely die first to Risei since a barrage of bullets can't stop Risei unless he and the PMC are very lucky and/or precise."

- The vote

Not only would this kind of strategy be completely out of character for Christian, it goes against his logic as a commander. He's going to utilize his troops effectively and smartly, not simply blindly charging into combat with his troops. As part of the likely alliance of magi going against Risei, he's probably going to be one of their biggest assets thanks to his tactical know-how. You're also forgetting that Christian is also the most experienced with fighting magi- he's going to know how to attack Risei by pinpointing weaknesses and utilizing his resources to their best potential. This notion is, above all else, an idiotic suggestion because it completely ignores the warrior's stated abilities, personality, and strategy. "...if Christian is going to face Risei, he is perhaps gonna pull a Colleen with the other Masters and be on the forefront to protect the others..."

- Your vote

Once again, this goes completely against how Christian thinks and strategizes. He's hardly concerned about protecting his men or his allies; he'll use them to the best way, which includes sacrificing them to gain an advantage. He himself isn't going to be brazenly leading from the front; he's going to be on the edges of the field, waiting for and setting up his opportunity to strike. "I think of this as more like a semi-smart move since he will not be killed by Bhishma and Risei in the team fight..."

- The vote

No, this is not true; Samson is not only a reckless fighter, but he can't take Bhishma on alone. With Rhosewen being unable to fight Risei at all, she has to rely entirely on herself and Samson to do survive. And make no mistake- Risei will target her first. He will do so because Samson is undeniably one of the more powerful Servants of this fight, but also because they are alone. Rhoswen's virulent dislike for magi and inability to work within the alliance will make her and Samson vulnerable. Plus, Rhoswen may end up also being a target for the alliance itself due to her behavior; most will recognize her as a threat should she survive, and be too much of a wildcard to be left unchecked.

Something I also think you're discounting is how Lucifer is one of the few Servants that Bhishma has no distinct advantage over. Michiel, Odysseus, and Samson all bring in powerful, game-changing Noble Phantasms that can immediately be shut down by Bhishma's Astras, while Cao Cao isn't meant to fight directly anyway. Lucifer is a huge tactical advantage for the alliance, whittling Bhishma down in ways that open up him up for the other, combat-oriented Servants. Bhishma can in theory dispel Lucifer's abilities as a Caster as well, he'll be more focused on Odysseus and Michiel in mid-combat to let her chink away at him.

Overall, this vote fails to consider the distinct character traits, abilities, and mindsets of the warriors in question in an accurate way. You're proposing actions of Christian that simply are not in-character, while severely underestimating Lucifer's potential to help eliminate Bhishma. You are also seriously overestimating the abilities and intelligence of Rhoswen and Samson, with their lone wolf attitude being declared as their greatest asset actually being their biggest flaw.
