We deploy in the lower right, yes? How long would it take to get HMGs and/or ATs to that center extension of forest south of the fourth ford from the left?

If you still have time, could you also call up a T-34/85 statline? I'm guessing it's "mid" or "model 1944" like our IS-2s. EDIT: Oh, wait, that's a German AT gun. Is the Russian version the same?

Not sure which one to nab for you guys. dtkozl posted:So we will need 3 company commanders, one of whom is comfortable with tanks. The two infantry companies will need 3 platoon leaders and 1 support goon commanding a gun and a truck. The rest will be 3 t-34s, 3 t-70s, and 1 IS-2 who will be semi broken up to support the different axes of attack, etc. Feel free to volunteer for positions, I will try and respect the sheet but I don't care if you suddenly want to move or whatever this is like taking penalty kicks I want confidence man I've been watching too much soccer. So, yeah, we have more armor on the list.

Unbuttoned means the commander has his head sticking out the top. It gives better vision but worse vulnerability. 1st Company HMG Section #2 Deploy on the Studebaker. Await dismount orders.

Maybe this could work out for the best? The Germans see the stuck T-34, think it's an easy kill, send up something to kill it, and it gets blown away by the IS-2s? (And if you want to remain in the fight, Krysm, we can switch if you want. I'd be happy to go Last Stand of the Stuck Tank.) Anyway... 1st Company HMG Section #2 Await dismount orders, I guess.

tatankatonk posted:1st Company, we still have to wait for 2 Co. to pass fully before we start fording, so this turn's orders will probably be sitting tight, sorry for the lack of excitement. Also, I read the manual and apparently pre-planned fire missions take 5 minutes? So those falling rounds are probably the Germans gaming the ford Wait what? Can we call in a mortar strike on their fords in retaliation, then?

Hob_Gadling posted:Kaislic, Davin Valkri, what's the plan for your HMGs? After the AT gun has been dropped off the truck is at your disposal. I marked a few possible locations on the map. I, uh, don't really have a plan for the HMGs. I'd been asking for some deployment suggestions, but they might have gotten lost in high-level chat. I'm happy to set up in a position to cover both the AT gun AND the center ford, if at all viable.

Yeah, we could probably get some extra screening troops in the forest area. At least a picket due east of OP Geodude or a squad to support the flamethrower or something. Also, can I get a look at the view from the building east of OP Lapras, west of dzkotl's current position, looking towards Ford Lavender? I'm thinking I might set up my HMG there.

Everybody hug now!  Okay, hug time over, war time now. I think this got lost in the kerfuffle, so I'll ask again. Someone with access to the map, what's a good spot near OP Lapras to set up an HMG to engage either Ford Lavender or the two German side fords?

Kaisloc, I had a chance to talk to Dublish on roll20, and he said their are two places where HMGs can do some good work to cover areas. The first one in the north covers the area between OP Flygon and the orchard north of OP Igglybuff. The second one in the south covers Ford Lavender and Fort Cerulean pretty well. You have a preference for which one you want, or should I pick first?

dtkozl posted:Guys that is way too far forward for those mgs, you are slow and vulnerable and take like 2 minutes to setup, there are plenty of places a touch farther back that give you the same los with none of the risk.

Once that's confirmed, I'll move my HMG to OP Lapras.

1st Company, 2nd HMG Section  After Hob dismounts his AT gun, drive the truck along the road at best speed to OP Lapras. Dismount and set up on OP Lapras, facing southwest towards Fords Lavender and Cerulean. I believe Kaisloc will take the upper spot, the house north of OP Lapras, and face northeast towards the orchard southwest of OP Flygon, if he doesn't get a chance to post.

Orders unchanged, copy. 1st Company, 2nd HMG Section After Hob dismounts his AT gun, REMOUNT BOTH HMGS ON THE TRUCK and drive the truck along the road at best speed to OP Lapras. Dismount and set up on OP Lapras, facing southwest towards Fords Lavender and Cerulean (the lower red mark on this map). Kaisloc will dismount and set up in the building NW of OP Eevee, near the upper red mark. Once we've dismounted, the truck is on call for any infantry units that need a ride to their position--tatankatonk, keep us posted.
