  First off, mount up the HQ and get all of my BTR's heading towards the woodline. When the 3rd BTR gets into position have them area fire at the assholes. If no assholes are visible, have them shoot in the general direction of where the assholes were.  1st Squad : PAUSE for 25 seconds and ASSAULT through the woodline. 2nd Squad A Team : Area fire towards the assholes 2nd Squad B Team : QUICK back into cover! 3rd Squad A Team : MOVE forward as shown on the map. 3rd Squad B Team : MOVE forward as shown on the map.

If my remaining assets die I'll take control of anything we have free but for now, I'll stick with my squad and two iglas. The remaining ones, being dry and all, wouldn't get any orders.

The Igla mans would be useful as disposable-ish recon. If we want to try to peek around the corner farther east on the road that might be a good use for them.

Was looking at the save and noticed a few things. Yooper's scout team is under fire from an enemy squad that is sitting maybe 30 meters away from it. You can see several of the grenades get thrown.  This is where they seem to be.  An Oplot is driving south and then we lose contact with it. It may be moving towards Kev's tanks.  An Abrams and an Oplot have moved up into the entrance of Mount Silver.   One of our FO teams has moved up into a spot that can call in a precision fire mission on where that ATGM team was.   The FO that can see that Abrams can call in a precision fire mission on it. If you target the ground right in front of the Abrams instead of it directly it won't get a laser warning.

  This is still the basic plan I want to implement for 1st Company. How exactly you deploy you platoons is up to you guys. My intent is to have stationary positions for spotting advantage and to use the open sightlines of the pass for mutual support and heavier weapon coverage. In theory, we will see the enemy first and have more units to shoot at them than they will have against us. I think it's less likely that they will try to run vehicles through here, but we have ATGMs in the center and north of our line as well as other battalion support weapons helping out as well as a number of RPG-7 and RPG-26 assets well within effective range. The longest range we will meet the enemy in these woods is about 250 meters and will likely be much closer, so whoever get the first shots off should have devastating effect on the enemy. The main weakness of this plan is a lack of tactical mobility. We don't have many options to maneuver in these woods and whatever we do will be slow. We are committing our full company in a static line which lacks flexibility. I think this is largely unavoidable given the nature of the terrain. the size of our sector, and our assets on-hand, but it could be a problem in particular if the enemy are able to turn our right flank where the woods are thin and vehicles could move faster. This is why I would like Hubis to continue to move his 2nd Platoon BTRs into the woodline. It give 3 more HMGs to help repel an attack across the green field and offers a ride if we are able to break-out some infantry into the south to threaten the enemy flanks. The 4th Platoon BTR will move to provide some HMG coverage of the pass from the south and 1st Platoon BTRs should amply cover the north. As planned, we will have a coherent if somewhat spread-out and static defensive line through the woods where the enemy seems to be advancing. We will have 2 tanks, 2 ATGMs, 7 BTRs, and the 4th Platoon HQ (for calling artillery fires) covering our right flank with long-range weapons and options to maneuver should they arise. Our left flank is secured by 2nd Company positions guarding the field and the edge of the wood to the east. Forums Terrorist: I didn't see you in the Leper's Colony. Are you still with us? If so, your guys might need to slow down to avoid getting too tired for at least part of their move. Also, you should devise a plan to utilize your BTRs for HMG coverage down the passes in light of the enemy advance. Hubis: Maintain the plan with your BTRs as explained above. Arrange your men as you see fit; you have the challenge of a long convex section of the line and depth will be challenging in this area of the woods. Fray: Tweak your positions as needed. You should be confident that the field on your flank is covered, but be ready to respond if we encounter problems there. Make sure you interface with Hubis' platoon's defenses coherently and without exploitable gaps. Position your BTRs into the treeline to cover the field with the HMGs as they emerge from the woods. Koolkevz666: Tanks on the way. Party time.   1st Company HQ: Depart the BTR FAST in this general direction about 20 meters away 1st APC, 4th Platoon: At the end of the current series of QUICK moves, add a FAST just south of Kevin's tanks. Squad / B Team ATGM: QUICK into the treeline facing southeast. DEPLOY 4th Platoon HQ: QUICK into the treeline. HIDE 2nd APC, 4th Platoon: MOVE as per the map. Squad / A Team ATGM: QUICK across the field and then MOVE as per the map. DEPLOY Squad / C Team ATGM: Cancel the current orders. QUICK for about 50 meters and then MOVE as per the map. DEPLOY Squad / A Team MG: Change the current order to QUICK DEPLOY Squad / B Team MG: Cancel the current orders. QUICK for about 50 meters and then MOVE as per the map. DEPLOY

Yeah turns out the worst thing happens, so I got the consolation prize of still being able to post. Anyway could you clarify where exactly the BTRs should be covering? I'm going to DISMOUNT the HQ team regardless and drop all the infantry squads down to MOVE speed.

These are spots I had in mind. The farther back they are, the better your infantry will protect them, but it's up to you how stuck in you want them to be. Just keep in mind the enemy will have AT weapons and in these woods they're probably going to get blown up eventually, so try to keep some space from infantry if possible.

Looks like we have the older, crappier Iglas. Fine against UKR equipment and drones, but apparently completely ineffective vs. Apaches. Aircraft should have a much greater chance of spotting things that are moving. Doubly so in the case of an Apache, that has a full blown fire control radar. Hopefully the SAM trails will have spooked the Americans into not sending their Apache in close for rockets and guns. Hopefully it's the variety that only has 4 hellfires. If not, these next few minutes will be unpleasant. Here are the different possible Apache loadouts:  I want to call in two precision artillery strikes: 3 rounds on (hopefully the ground in front of) the Abrams from one battery, and then 3 rounds of airburst rounds on the ATGM position from the other battery. This will tie up both batteries for 4/5 minutes and remove 6 rounds from our total ammo cap, but I doubt we'll see a better opportunity to use artillery than this. The infantry along the Mt Silver reverse slope could stand to be spread out a bit more: 2 coy HQ for example is sitting on top of an MG and a grenade launcher:

MOVE to the position indicated, getting sight along the meadow. 1st Squad/A-Team: Double-back! MOVE across the clearing and take up a defensive position as indicated. 1st Squad/B-Team: MOVE across the clearing and take up a forward position where A-team was originally headed. 2nd Squad/A-Team: Double-back! MOVE ENE a little bit and take up a defensive position at the edge of the clearing. 2nd Squad/B-Team: MOVE SSW across the gap and take up a forward position as indicated. 3rd Squad: SPLIT again (sorry GI  ) and take up basically your same positions as before, covering two corners of that clearing.

Might I suggest the Blue, Lime-Green, and Teal positions on the left-hand side? The ones on the right might be useful if you want to anchor your flank a little but I'd be concerned about them being that enclosed on. The Yellow one on the left is basically where the company heavy weapons assets are going so that's probably already covered. The Teal position would help cover my lines a little better by providing some crossfire.

So on the plus side, the way air call-ins work in this game, they specified that sector as a specific target area. My suspicion is that they are trying to prevent any reinforcement / destroy any tanks there in preparation for an assault, Given we are already fairly well deployed, it hasn't done a lot to hurt our efficacy there (provided they don't go in for a gun run).

NastyToes posted:Was looking at the save and noticed a few things. So they would not have moved those tanks up to that position unless they felt confident the woods just north of the gap were secure, right? I think we should assume they maybe a platoon there and possibly moving northward. We should make sure that whoerever is deployed to the east of FT's 1/1 line (is that 3rd Company now?) is prepared for a push from the south, and that our lines link up effectively over there.

 3./1. Motostrelki "Prancing Weasel", Weapons team "Humanitarian Convoy - Beds and Tents", Battalion ATGM team "Lost Muscovite Football Team - Cheerleading Squad"  HQ - pink 3/1/1 - red 3/1/2 - orange 3/1/3 - blue HMG - black The positions don't need to be precise, use ones which make more sense. Lend BTR2 and BTR3 temporarily to dublish, allow further delegation. Intentions: Still move over the HMG team (black arrow) from Jaguars! once dropped off and take them somewhere with good firing positions to the southeast and good cover. Try to get eyes on the southern approach on Mt. Silver with the HQ guys (pink) but don't let them peak out into the open. Have Assault teams guard the southern wooden flank of the support teams, for that move them to the approximate positions (red, orange, blue). Cones are not firing arcs but facing directions.

FO team Please lay in the following fire mission:  Target: point; please try to click on the tile underneath the front of the tank, in hopes of avoiding setting off its laser warning receiver. You should be able to center it directly under the tank, without a "target vehicle" mission.

 Headquarters Orders: I'm hedging my bets with the company BTRs a bit.  The two BTRs from Katznmaus will cross the field QUICK as shown, swinging a bit south to (hopefully) avoid the helicopter, and one of the AGL BTRs will QUICK straight down the road. All three vehicles will TARGET BRIEFLY at points in the woods that I can't really define at this point- my intention is for them to spread their fire out and keep any Ukrainians from getting funny ideas, but if any contacts become visible after the vehicles have reached their destinations, they should receive targeting priority. The remaining AGL BTR, plus the company support and HQ BTRs, will remain stationary this turn in an attempt to stay hidden from the helicopter.

There's not much more I can do to make this guy shoot, can I? He can intermittently see them already and is aiming - would a MOVE SLOW order reset all that AI? He also still has the radio, so maybe we can call in precision artillery if he somehow survives.

Looks like you lost visual contact at the very last moment for some reason. Unfortunately the Abrams is likely to move now, being that it's about to get orders from its human controller. You'd need a laser designator and need to be an officer in order to call in artillery, unfortunately.

I'm excited. poo poo's going down. My thoughts: 1) It's apparent there are a few more Ukrainians to fight here than I initially thought, and we're taking casualties. I'm pleased that we seem to be giving at least as good as we're taking though. As long as we have the ability to press the attack, I intend to. 2) Yooper, it looks like you're taking the brunt of the casualties. I'm giving you control of Katznmaus' two BTRs- including your three and Fuligin's three, you've got a lot of machine guns to support you. Get them into the fight. Move everything up as close as you can. I don't want the Ukrainians to be able to stick their heads up without getting wasted. If you need to delay your infantry while vehicles move forward, figure out a way to do it while keeping something firing downrange at all times. 3) Yooper again, your scout 3) NastyToes, keep pushing in to help Yooper. Your scouts have given us good information on where their vehicles are and roughly how many (1 tank, at least 4 APCs, so I'd guess at least two platoons) we're facing. As long as those vehicles don't push through the woods, we've got a big advantage. What you do with those scouts is up to you. 4) Fuligin, if your guys are moving, they're moving so slowly I can't really tell in the video. Get them moving faster. If that incoming tank is as unsupported as I think, you should be able to wreck it. I'm assigning the tank from 5th platoon that's been watching the crossroads to you, so hopefully we can overwhelm the enemy tank. Be careful with how close to treelines you put your guys- this turn has shown us how badly we can get hosed up by HE shells bursting in the trees. EDIT: 5) If we can clear the woods north of Ravaged Path and send some scouts through Golem Draw, we may open a path for our reinforcements to assault the town. I'm optimistic. Yooper and NastyToes, since both of you have the game, keep me up to date on how well your guys are doing and how much more you think you can push things. 6) Use Target Light. No need to waste RPGs on infantry contacts. dublish fucked around with this message at 20:37 on Nov 15, 2016 |

Video for the soon-to-be hero of the Russian Federation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZkeFolDKYw Dublish, looks like you're really in the thick of things. From the turn replay, it sure looks like most of the visible Ukr contacts are pinned or at least decently suppressed. As NastyToes continues to swing south and closes to destroy them, make sure he probes it first with a smaller force. There is enough room in those woods for there to be fresh troops that we don't yet know about, and as we've seen multiple times you can be right next to someone without even suspecting that they are there. Is indirect fire coming down on us? Or was that just more helicopter fire? I did not hear any artillery fall sounds during the turn. But if so, that means they have a Raven UAV, probably overlooking the road. And that's probably why the Apache is concentrating its fire over there. Btw, 30mm artillery fire landed all around Jaguars' HQ squad and somehow only the BTR crew was injured by it. Recommend spreading those infantry out even further. Glynn, can I hand off control of those two AGLs to you or one of your platoons?

At least 3 artillery spotting rounds have come down, mostly north of Victory Road, and he thinks there are spotters way down at Mirage Island calling a mission on our tank/ATGM/MG covering the crossroads. Can drones call in artillery? I thought they were just used for spotting.
