Bacarruda posted:Generalleutnant Jesenjin and Generalleutnant Veloxyll, a runner from IV Korps HQ! Ser, with all due respect, we are not ready to go in like this! My men are too inexperienced to be of much use as an attacking force against even one French corp, but potentially more. I suggest we use caution and send our cavalry to scout where are the enemies. During that period of time, we ought to defend our side of river's shore, and wait for the bridges to be build. I think that quantity must be used to dislodge any enemy, ie. we ought to build bridges first and then storm them, so we have at least more forces going in in one go, not to have third of our corps in the fray against double their number (if we use optimistic estimate that there will be only one corps of Frenchies in front of us). Also, you are assuming wrongly that I have two engineers, 8th division has them, so they should build two bridges. My division has heavy artillery.

JosefStalinator posted:I really recommend blowing the bridge in that case, as you force the Frenchmen to sit there ineffectually while the rest of their army is obliterated. Bacarruda posted:I don't want to rig the bridge to blow. For one, moving two divisions over a bridges festooned in explosives strikes me as a bad idea. Secondly, I don't expect an Allied attack over the bridge. Thirdly, if we blow the bridge, then any future offensives in the west will have to be made over pontoon bridges. With IV Korps' limited engineering assets, attempting to cross the Sombre without the Pont de Fesse will make things much bloodier, much riskier, and much less likely to succeed. I am against blowing up the bridge as well, as we have the offensive initiative, and the French need only remain on their side of the river. But also, I am against going on offensive before we either have more intel, or we have more then one crossing (ie. after our brave engineers have built extra crossing). I am more in favor of wait for few turn than advancing with more men, than to advance, and be slaughtered, piece-meal. And Barracuda, I am aware I can make more bridges, but making them would require extra 8 turns per bridge, while 8th division has two engineer brigades to begin with, and they can build 2 at once. I suggest taking this in account. E: Until Barracuda finishes his order I am withdrawing my deployment plan. Don't worry Grey, it would remain more or less the same, I would just change positions for few counters.

IV Corps 7th Division NEW DEPLOYMENT  Men, you are basically to deploy the same, but one Machine gun on the riverbank would exchange position with engineers from the riverbank. Also Engineers would build bridge over the river. 3rd Regiment Cavalry will advance over the bridge and go toward south east for 4 turns, after they've done this, or if they met contact, they are to return to report what they have seen. edit: I may be wrong, but I am assuming limbered = ready to fire and unlimbered = ready to move. If I am wrong, I will stress that artillery pieces on riverbank and howitzers are ready to fire, while those with yellow stripes are ready to move.

Generaloberst Barracuda! I request your permission to prepare detachment of II and IV regiment (purple and cyan regiments) and prepare to advance at the moments notice toward western bridge to secure it. During this turn, I and III regiment will pound the Frenchmen with unlimbered artillery and lone engineer brigade will build a pontoon bridge to be used later at later date! II regiment: usual make up+cavalry company IV regiment: usual make up+2 cavalry companies+ light artillery (limbered) Generalleutnant Jesenjin Jesenjin fucked around with this message at 15:46 on Mar 13, 2015 |

Bacarruda posted:Orders for IV Korps Grey, I do as I am ordered. II and IV regiment are on attack order, while I and III are on defense. Artillery is ordered to open fire on anything that moves (provided they are ready to do so - ie. only howitzers and artillery on river bank are capable of firing now, every other artillery piece is limbered and ready to move)

You mixed up my medium artillery with these light artillery pieces. On order map, dark red are mixed up counters, and crossed light artillery are non existent and should be exchange with medium artillery. My mistake, everything is okay. I haven't assigned one artillery company. All pieces are to remain where you have deployed them Grey Hunter. Now for the orders: IV Corps 7. Division  First off, if anything on maps is not visible, I will make a new one with more visible counters. 1st regiment - DEFENSE (yellow markers): Stay put and bombard the Frenchies with 2 medium artillery pieces on the river and 4 howitzers, as well as with MG fire. Other 2 pieces should move if possible closer to the regiment commander. 2nd regiment - OFFENSE (purple markers): Charge west and try to get over the bridge! Once over it, charge to take the hill. 3rd regiment - DEFENSE (orange markers) Stay put and bombard the Frenchies with 8 light artillery pieces, as well as with MG fire. In addition engineers are to start building pontoon bridge in front of them. 4th regiment - OFENSE (cyan markers) You are to advance and take up our side of the river. Artillery pieces MUST finish on the riverbank, so leave some space for them to move (I am assuming that units cannot go through each other easily) Generaleutnant Jesenjin EDIT: A (attack) and D (defense) on the map just denotes which regiments are on offense and which on defense Jesenjin fucked around with this message at 02:42 on Mar 16, 2015 |

IV Corps 7. Division Men, attention! You are to continue your orders as laid out in: Letter containing previous orders. ALSO, it has come to my attention that for some reason, I HAVEN'T MOVED AT ALL! Staff member, dismantle my armchair, and put it on stretch, we are going to the western most part of this little patch of woods where we currently lounge. And one of cavalry regiments has moved without order to do so. It belongs to 3rd regiment, and therefore IT HAD TO REMAIN STATIONARY. To avert this mistake, it is to remain where it has started this turn, ie. north of wooded area. If my orders aren't coherent or are lacking by German high standards, I shall write them again, in greater details. Generaleutnant Jesenjin

Attached orange cavalry will go south and take positions for flanking orders! Red division will hold until further notice! It artillery pieces WILL MOVE TOWARD BRIDGE, but they are not to obstruct it nor are they to cross the river! Purple[regiment will move towards bridge and prepare for assault! Yellow regiment will stay and pound the french artillery with howitzers. (yellow crossed out section is there only for help, ignore it!) Divisional commander will move toward the bridge as far as possible! Generaleutnant Jesenjin

IV Corps 7. Division Men, attention! It has come to my attention that elements of 7th division have resorted to cowardice. I must inform you that they have already been captured and court martial-ed. If any one of you gets the same idea, I will execute you myself! Now for the orders:  Artillery from across the river (unit furthest to the west designated with red) will fall back and assume the position to fire at the advancing enemy Artillery on our side of the river (unit in the east designated with red) will advance forward and assume the position to reign death on any Frenchmen in Glacessui. Infantry regiment designated in yellow will advance and to the west and assume position designated by yellow rectangular. They are to guard our side of the river. Generaleutnant Jesenjin

IV Corps 7. Division Men, attention! It has come to my attention that some of the elements of division haven't even fired a single shot! This must be corrected asap.  Men marked with red, are to move aside and let the heavy artillery rein death upon Frenchmen! Artillery pieces marked with yellow, WILL MOVE NOW, you already got the order earlier! MOVE ALREADY! Artillery piece marked with pink, are to fire upon Frenchmen artillery, machine gun and infantry positions (by that priority) they they can see. You were given more or less advice where to fire first with flimsily drawn coordinates. White line by Pont de Schrodinger will be defensive position for the rest of the division.

Messenger boy is carrying two letters. One is marked to be delivered to regiment commanders. Second is marked to be delivered to the Corps commander. 1st letter: IV Corps 7. Division Men, attention! I am rather busy with some calculations to be bothered to send you detailed orders. So here are some sketches. I am sure German marvel will be more than enough to get best out of this.  First order of business, which unit is the one designated by yellow color? If it artillery, stay put. Anything else must move back into the wood! Infantry designated by green (together with respective commanders and MG units) are to take up the position designated by the green blocky thingies. Artillery designated by red are to go to new positions designated by the red blocky thingies. Artillery designated by purple on the riverbank are to stay and fire on anything that moves! Generaleutnant Jesenjin 2nd letter: Ser, I am afraid I don't see any way that 8th division will be able to blow out the bridge. They are too far to see smoke signals from flares. Maybe the engineer should blow the Pont the Schrodinger, which could allow my men to advance to Pon de Viagre, and possibly outmaneuver the Frenchmen. I am just suggesting this as a possibility.

IV Corps 7. Division Men, attention! I know you haven't heard from me in a while, but rest assured, I am having a great time in Amsterdam learning some absolutely amazing stuff. So I hope I will not forget sending you orders again. If this situation happens again, do whatever Barracuda has ordered to be done. Anyways, your orders are:  Unit marked by green arrows, will move to the area designated in green. Howitzers marked by purple arrow, will move to the area designated in purple. Artillery pieces marked by cyan arrow, are to move to the area designated in cyan. I have a strong felling we are going to be outflanked by north, but I want to remain in Las Vegas for the time being. Generaleutnant Jesenjin

JosefStalinator posted:Sorry for the double post, but I want you to see this Jesenjin. If you really want to move some of your artillery from the forest that's fine, but I'd move your purple ones to the forest and set up facing Mureau. It's a very good position with concealment that can fire on Mureau and easily turn around to face the other way if need be, or take out guys across the river. I'd almost be inclined to leave some of the other five artillery there. IV Corps 7. Division Men, attention! Per new orders you are to do as following:  Howitzers designated by purple, go to forest and face Schrodinger bridge. Yellow infantry go the area designated by yellow color. Green infantry, go to the green area. Sorry for laconic post, but I am in a rush. Generaleutnant Jesenjin 2nd letter: Men, attention! Per order of superior Barracuda: Bacarruda posted:Looks good.

Well, it seems to me that Brits have a pontoon bridge behind Vegas. I'll have to tactically withdraw to the Vegas, and shift more infantry to punish the Brits. Also, Vegas gives cover that will nullify the advantage of artillery, so it is of utmost imperative for us to get there!

You are to hold the line at all cost until reinforcement arrives. Soldiers designated by cyan, you will fill up the position of front where yellow soldiers were. You will take up position designated by cyan block. Machine gun crew designated by purple, move to the line and set up for slaughter. I doubt you will see action in next hour, but you never know. Cannons designated by red, continue with previous orders, ie. move to the new position marked by red fill. Cannons designated by blue, you will follow 8. division and will set up position behind their defensive line. Wait for further orders after that. May God be on your side. You will need His help.
