Fair enough. I think dropping artillery along Route 23 will be sufficient to delay that movement. If you have spare resources I would look at devoting them further south - the more we can delay them moving into the western hill country, the more time we can get set up there. When we actually get everyone moving out we can talk about what 1st Coy will actually do when it gets to the target zone. Setting up an ambush covering the south-west portion of Ravaged Path is of course a priority, but I am counting on good Recon work to determine how aggressive they should be. This is not terrain you want to be attacking in to, so we'll see.

  3./1. Motostrelki "Prancing Weasel" BTR1 with 3/1/1 Inf and 3/1 HQ BTR2 with 3/1/2 Inf BTR3 with 3/1/3 Inf  Deploy next to roads as not to hinder traffic, let other parts of the battle group pass first. Try to keep the eager troops to keep to this company schedule if possible: 3HQ 3/3 3 Armoured 3/1 <- 3/2 When on the turn have about 20 seconds between each vehicle. Move the BTR1 (red) with loaded 3/1/1 Inf and 3/1 HQ into the town, park next to the house and deploy, keep BTR behind the house concealed. Move HQ into the 1/1 double house. Face SE Move 3/1/1 Inf into the house. Face S Move the BTR2 (orange) along the roads and deploy in the woods, keep the BTR a bit away from the infantry which take the front. Face SE Move the BTR3 (dark red) along the roads and deploy in the woods, keep the BTR a bit away from the infantry which take the front. Face S Company pals any objections or ideas? edit: bolded the added commands, 05/Oct Katznmaus fucked around with this message at 05:40 on Oct 5, 2016 |

Hey Davin, what do you think of this slight alteration to the plan? The whole point of this is to try and deny them the use of their roads. If we target the Fiery Path and Route 23 like this, they either have to thread the need between Geodude Draw and our bombardment of Route 23, or go over one of the wooded draws in the south. If they were planning to use Route 23 they either have to wait or try to navigate their way through backyards of the village first. Or charge straight through, but that's a long corridor of firepower to try and run a large group through. Thoughts and concerns?

Their vehicles should be at least as good as offroading as ours, if not more. This fire plan leaves a big gap of farmland totally unmolested. In fact, if anything, I'd change the Route 23 fire mission to an area attack.

Davin Valkri posted:I think if arty lands as soon as possible, we can at least draw if not win a "race" to set up our ATGMs. If we try to get cute and time for hits, I absolutely guarantee they'll have tanks set up along Victory Road and shooting at us as we get into position. We aren't the US--arty is a mass suppression and area denial tool first, cute tank destroyer second. Come to think of it, I can add an extra 120mm barrage running parallel to and just south of Victory road for an extra bit of denial, if you'd like. I'm just concerned that the artillery as planned will come too soon, not last long enough, or be too intermittent to accomplish its tactical objective. If they try (and succeed) to get significant forces up to the crossroads before 5 minutes is up, I'll eat my hat. I think a smoke mission across the field from the crossroads could accomplish the task of screening 3 coy's deployment and would be a superior allocation of resources.

The grey line is supposed to be a preplanned smoke mission from the mortars. It's a little kinked because I also wanted to screen Mount Silver a bit.

Executive decision time, the artillery be used to deny enemy the use of their best paths north-west to grant our own forces as long as possible to set up in the north. The very presence of our artillery barrage may make them abandon their routes and disrupt their advance enough that I feel the ammunition expenditure will be worth it. However Davin I think your point about area targets is well made. Please look in the roll20 for my ideas - instead of a long linear barrage a more focused area barrage at the edge of the village and the area between Arbok and Geodude Draws will force them to either wait, risk a dash through 152 fire, or take a trip through some steep woodlands with no clear paths like the ones we have. I also approve the smoke screen mission - although that one may well need to be on a delayed timer. I don't know how long a smoke screen will last in the rain, although maybe these non-WWII smoke screens will be more stable. Don't want to lay a smokescreen that will have dissipated by the time it would become relevant.

We have a couple days yet before orders are due, so I'd at least request that you let me at least test out how the barrage order plays out before we finalize things. Regarding the smoke, keep in mind that this smoke will not block IR, so US vehicles and ATGMs will be able to see through it (but probably not UKR).

You didn't cut this down, did you? I opened it up and the page for the download mentioned it was a master map similar to Market Garden in which the whole thing wasn't intended to be played at once. itrunssofuckingbad and I have no units on map yet.

Nope I have made a Poor Decision and I'm running with the entire thing since it was the biggest map I could find. The last game Grey Hunter ran was on a stock 'huge' map and with the way that ended I was kinda traumatized. I managed to run the scenario for enough turns that all the units arrive on the map and it's a bit choppy, but stable with everything turned down.

3rd Coy has been assigned 2 Iglas teams I recommend you have them deployed at the start, to cover our initial advance. 2nd Coy can deploy theirs once they arrive around Victory Road, and we can leap-frog a bit if necessary to keep our coverage over our forces. I've started moving random units on Roll20 - putting the mortars in the back of the deployment zone along the road, and putting the engineers behind 1st Coy. Just trying to keep track of all the various bits and bobs we have floating around.

 Deploy as located in order of 3/1, 3/2, 3/3. HQ should be in the trailing vehicle with 3rd Squad.  Initial orders should be to move Quick down the main road 'til north of Viridian City, at which point they should move south into the city before going between the houses to go into the field. Squads should dismount and take up positions in front of the BTRs Facing as indicated. This way if some random long shot ATGM or tank shell should hit the BTRs the infantry should be relatively safe.  You'll have to use your best judgement for pathing as far as how many or how few waypoints get added. Same with the pause orders. You're driving, not me, so I can't push either pedal down. e: Station the Iglas behind houses near the last bend in the path. I want to keep them absolutely covered from any possible attacks since they're valuable. Dark_Swordmaster fucked around with this message at 05:12 on Oct 5, 2016 |

Recon Platoon  Deploy with infantry mounted in a column with the commander at the rear. Follow the path Quick with each BTR's path ending at the designated location. Stagger the BTR movements so that there's a 5 second gap between each of them moving. At the final location, the northern commanding BTR should hide to the west of any building with east-facing windows while the squad dismounts and goes inside. The southern two BTRs should dismount and disperse at least 15m away from the BTR once they are stopped. I'm trying to get into a few good reverse slope positions to spy on the NATO forces, while keeping an eye on the canyons. Don't think the BTRs will get that far in 5 minutes, but we'll see!

There is an alternate path but it's rough terrain so slow and pathing is sorta random and unexpected. I would use it outright but I fear getting stuff stuck. Still, some 1st Company platoons have it as an alternate route if the main one is problematic.
