Huzzah, we have one of the war's most mechanically finicky tanks as our main tanks. That's fascist procurement for ya. :shepicide:

Well, okay, but it's gonna be difficult to play the game without access to our thread.

Klaus88 you are listed as the tank HQ, if you have a general plan or wanna lone hunt let me know. I'm all ears.

I was thinking of setting up in the woods at Z-11 perhaps.

I'm nervous about taking the big cats off road in a snowy map, honestly.

I'm tending towards sending the panthers towards A on that map, since it has a good line of sight of the town, and putting the hezter at B to watch the corridor on the right of the map.

I like this, my only concern is the Americans rushing across to A before the Panthers show up and then we are sitting ducks as we round the trees to the north near 24.

Good point, they could have half-tracks and dump a load of infantry at A, which would be no good for our kitties.

I'm advocating that we blitz our tanks down the road into the central control point before the Americans can get there and force them to assault it. Our Panthers are going to be better than the Shermans they're likely to be bringing along, and I don't think they'll be sending their TD anywhere near the centre to begin with so we should be able to set up there and dictate the flow of the battle ourselves.

I'm dead set against a blitz without knowing they're not driving Pershings. Or even if they are driving Shermans.

Klaus88, any thoughts on tank deployment?

Not particularity. Except that putting the panthers on the flanks and the hertzer in the center seems like a reasonable deployment to me. I hope the hertzer can pick off an enemy tank and that the panthers can catch any enemy tanks in a crossfire. Plus we can support the infantry that way.

Sounds good to me, in that case I will take my Panther and head up to do overwatch at Wounded Knee.

I'll take camp hill then.

I'm assuming I just command the panthers here and not the open topped vehicles and recon.

Start V2, preferable facing camp hill and with all the squads detailed by Abongination mounted.

Start unbuttoned

Klaus88 are you still around? As far as I can see your orders have you hunting right to the edge of the treeline at E-10 which given the jumbo and another tank contact in the Big D seems like a rather bad idea as it will expose your much thinner side armor to at least one of the tanks and if we lose you that flank is totally screwed.

Yeah I'm here.

Draw a Target Armor Arc, extending through B16 and N25 on either side, but continuing past them so that the entire edge of the map is covered.

Saros posted:

It's probably better to specify the target arc has unlimited range and isnt limited by max range to a line between B16 and N25 which is one way this could be interpreted.

That's kinda what I wanted, actually. :shrug:

Thanks, that helps a lot.

Can Klaus area fire the approximate location of the western mortar?

I'm still hunting shermans here buddy. :arghfist:

Third time's probably the charm, so I don't want to risk another shot from an easy eight.
