Boy do those Ukrainians love their swamps. At least that stream system on the west side gives the infantry a tank-free access route.

Phi230 posted:You got it. Are these company ATGMs or from the support group? I'm having a little trouble keeping track. tbh, I'd have one ride with me, one with 3/1 platoon and the rest deploy with 3/3, they'd be best dominating that open ground. Also, I've put my troops in a starting position on roll20, I figure I'll wait at least a minute for the rest of the company, I figure order of march would be something like: 3HQ 3/3 3 Armoured 3/1 3/2 I'll get my orders out in good time, but I prefer to post them once and not amend at all.

 Orders for 3 Company 2 Platoon 'Concerned Ukrainian Citizens' and Battalion ATGM platoon 'Lost Muscovite Football Team' Alright. For reasons I can only speculate about, we've been allocated care of a bunch of missile wallahs. We've also requested and received a machine gun team from the company, so a quick loading plan is in order.  All clear? Here's everyone and their rides, hopefully this should be more or less the game default. I'll call everyone by the name of their transport since we all start mounted. We're moving in two groups. ATGM teams 1 & 2 are going to queue in behind 3 Company HQ and follow as fast as possible. The Rifle Platoon and ATGM 3 are going to wait off the road and them move in loose convoy once the traffic is through. Starting positions as shown:  GI, you can change the wait intervals and spacing as you think appropriate. ATGMs 1 & 2 will start along the road until they get past the chokepoint. They then split up and both turn off the main road ASAP to prevent traffic buildup. Overall, we want to move at a quick rate, but slow down for obstacles as appropriate. Detail of route:  When ATGM 1 reaches it's destination they will wait for deployment orders. When ATGM 2 reaches the end of the yellow line, they will dismount immediately and move through the trees on foot until they reach a location where they can see out onto the plains, preferably all the way to the highway. Rifle Platoon Group will wait for the rest of 3 Company to clear before moving onto the main road. I'm hoping this will take less than 4 minutes, but move when appropriate. The spacing should be loose enough for all of them to start together, travel at move speed so we don't run into the back of the inevitable tank that's stuck in second gear. When they reach their area squads 2 and 3 + the Coy MG will dismount and move about 15m forward from their vehicles, but stay amongst the trees. Use the standard move command.

 3co 4 platoon (Heavy weapons) Temp orders to keep this unit from getting in the way while we unfuck the traffic. A single mg team detatched to 3/2 platoon. Rest of unit starts mounted up.  Deploy behind the battalion HQ on this road. space the vehicles out along the road. wait. Notes: It'd be nice getting this out near the front, but after discussions on roll20, it'd just make things worse. This is a temporary order, don't assign it to me permanently.

Davin Valkri posted:Yeah, but the worst is yet to come. Imagine having to put in orders for all of those units once the shooting starts! It'd pay to spread your mortars out, they should be at least 100m apart to prevent airstrikes getting the whole lot at once. I think they all have radios, so spreading them out shouldn't be a problem.

Orders for 3 Company 2 Platoon 'Concerned Ukrainian Citizens' and Battalion ATGM platoon 'Lost Muscovite Football Team' Rifle Group No change in orders. Previous orders here. ATGM carriers 1 & 2. 1 Squad A team will move as shown on the map and try find a spot amongst the hummocks where they can see to the crossroads. 1 squad B team should deploy at the closest spot where they can see to the highway. ATGM carrier 1 will drop off one missile team at each drop off point. Then they can move up the hill toward the nearest tree cover. Both missile teams should deploy within the tree clusters at the ends of their lines.  Edit: Have the two mounted teams acquire another missile before they leave, if possible.

Some drat good shooting there, I think that'll spook the NATO boys quite a bit. I think multiple minute turns would be appropriate, Redeploying any decent distance in one minute increments is going to suck. If combat starts to get real intense, maybe break it down into 2-3minute segments. Abe, I'd appreciate it if you could get some soldier eye views of ATGM team B. Keep the trees on please, I don't like invisible tree mode. I assumed the GI would have them set to deploy weapons as soon as they stop moving, but it'd be good if you could confirm that as well. Edit: Also the west side Missile Group, just realized that that was my HQ potentially spotting stuff. Jaguars! fucked around with this message at 10:05 on Oct 12, 2016 |

Orders for 3 Company 2 Platoon 'Concerned Ukrainian Citizens' and Battalion ATGM platoon 'Lost Muscovite Football Team' Rifle Group Up the pace to quick. Move as shown:  Don't dismount any troops. ATGM carriers 1 & 2. No new orders. I have a feeling the little pixel troops will deploy and engage of their own volition based on their status at the end of last turn. 3 Coy Weapons Platoon 'Humanitarian Convoy' Move in convoy formation to this intersection ASAP:  Could a game haver tell me if the HQ can use the radios in the BTR? I figure it would probably stay in contact better by remaining mounted if that was the case.

Well, I'm perfectly fine with scaring away an Abrams instead of engaging it, this might happen a lot with a bunch of missileers watching the area. Expect some plan B type moves as they look to concentrate elsewhere, I reckon. 3 Company, I've got the weapons platoon coming up, I think i'll deploy about half of it in defence of the town, but I can deliver a unit to each of you as reinforcements. We have 3x two man teams of both ATGMs and HMGs, so they can fit inside one of your BTRs alongside an infantry squad.I'm going to take an HMG if it can be delivered in time.

If it reappears, we'll get it, there's four teams looking down the fields at the moment. I was thinking of restricting their firing with arcs to allow more control over targeting, but I decided that bugger it, we'll smash anything that moves and deny them the area. A loaded softskin is just as worthwhile to destroy because it restricts their ability to manoeuvre. Do you want a weapons platoon unit in your location? got an HMG or ATGM for you.

ATGM carriers 1 & 2. No new orders. Weapons Platoon Drop off an ATGM team by DSM's position. Continue to the point shown. Quick Pace. The HMG carrier should drop a team near the crossroads (They can move into the nearest house for the moment), and then meet up with the ATGM carrier using any fast route.

Dark_Swordmaster posted:Alright, so at this point my position is no longer relevant. If they get to where I'm shooting them you're all already dead. So I'm not certain whether to head South to reinforce against our danger close or if I should head southeast and reinforce what we saw heading our way a few minutes ago. My gut says the former since they need backup now but then again our eastern flank only has several ATGM's, a few tanks, and a single platoon protecting it. Katznmaus posted:3./1. is currently on guard duty to protect the southern approaches to Viridian City. The situation on Mount Silver seems pretty dire and my units are not that far off to assist the brave comrades there until the rest of 2nd Coy arrives at their position. It sounds like we're withdrawing to preserve our tanks. My Gut feel is that we probably end up taking the east side of mt silver while 2 Co takes the west. We don't want to crowd the area too much because if the americans get a drone up they'll have a field day with artillery. DSM, I think you'd be safe to move up to a more handy position. DSM, that ATGM team I dropped at your position is now part of your command, it should fit inside a BTR with one of your infantry squads. You can take control of the HMG team dropped at the intersection if you want too. Katz, I'm going to drop another ATGM team at 3-1-3's position next turn. NastyToes posted:Was looking at the save and noticed a few things. Figured I would just drop some screenshots here. Could we just fire an ATGM at their location? Quicker and more accurate.

OK, well I've can't really do my orders any later than this, so for ease of coordination I'll take the second line duties and Katz can deploy to the frontlines. Orders for 3 Company 2 Platoon 'Concerned Ukrainian Citizens', Weapons Platoon 'Humanitarian Convoy' and Battalion ATGM platoon 'Lost Muscovite Football Team' Rifle Group Move vehicles 1 and 3 like so. BAttalion ATGM carrier 3 changes destination to take the track out onto the highway. Blue lines are normal speed, yellow is quick.  Weapons Platoon Continue last moves. Transfer an HMG team to the vehicle of 3-2-2, and an ATGM team to Katzenmaus's BTR (3-1-3). Notes: 2 Co, I can move a Battalion ATGM team to replace your overwatch tank next round if you want. If we are worried about NATO reinforcements appearing on the highway I could put the last one in a position that looks west, otherwise I'll keep it in reserve until a pressing need arises.

OK, I think we should advance to take as much of the Jagged ravine system as possible. Why? it's the dominant feature of the whole lower left quarter of the map. It's a hell of a lot easier to fight out of it than it is to fight the enemy inside of it, and there is not likely to be significant enemy forces in it or our recon would have found them by now. If we control to the edges of it, then we can freely transport men through the bottom of it while the enemy approach is split due to the open ground that we can dominate. Units under fire can disengage and relocate easily. Any enemy reaching the draws loses the support of their tanks and IFV due to close country LOS issues. The enemy doesn't have the men or the space to flank it effectively. It serves as an excellent jumpoff point if we want to advance and provides excellent defensive terrain if we need to retreat. Best of all, it's simple to do; 1 Company can simply move their dismounts at normal pace and they'll detect any enemy movement, I very much doubt that the enemy has set up an ambush already, let alone one that will affect more than one or two squads.

Batt ATGMs BTR 3:  Drop a team about 25m behind Yooper's tank. If it gets done in the first minute, return to start point. Pace Quick. Team 3B:  MOVE as shown. Rifle Group, 3 Coy Weapons, Engineer Platoon:  BTR 3-2-2: Allow the HMG team to board before moving. Drop off the infantry squad at DOP 1 first. If you get time, Drop the HMG at point 2. Finally move to the RV point circled. Quick Pace. 3 Coy Weapons - ATGM Carrier: Drop the last team at the yellow arrow, then make your way to the circled point south of the highway. 3 Coy Weapons - HMG carrier: Stay still for the moment to allow the traffic to disperse.

Someone from 2 company should take care of the battalion ATGM that I dropped near the Mt silver roadblock. The idea is to put it where there is a similar field of fire to the 2-5-3 tank so that the tank can move away if it needs to.

I'm thinking that I might as well bring the balance of my platoon over to reinforce 1 company. So that's 2 squads and I'll bring a Company HMG and potentially a long range ATGM as well, if we can find a good position. We could sit in a reserve position or extend the west flank. I'm not sure that I want to move my platoon HQ with an attack helicopter around though, so it could take a good five minutes to get there.

I can deploy the AT-13 immediately to Jagged East, which is good if those vehicles come past Decoy Badger's recon boys. I should be able to get in the vicinity by the round after this one. With a couple of extra minutes I could get to that position that Hubis and Abe were discussing.
