Are we organizing with a d20, or some other big map that we can all refer to for reference? It was pretty helpful in the WW1 sim, but I don't know what the usual deal is for Combat Mission games.

I imagine so. Its how we did it in the two CM games ive played so far.

Actually that's a good question can someone with the game give me an idea of how well the Strykers can off road?

Like herding cats through muck, uncooperative and painfully slow. They keep trying to do their own thing and im not 100% certain what they would do if we tried to get a bunch of them through there.

Also if everyone could stop making maps that look way better than mine id appreciate it.:v:

I would mostly worry about pthighs since hes the most forward and the most likely to take any Rus movement into the are head on. Sadly its the best we are likely to do without any confrontation in that area instantly turning into a knife fight.

Overwatch may be a problem for my guys. Much of that treeline is in a ditch and I will need to shift my guys right in order to get to higher ground or send one of my squads forward out of the treeline.

Lazy rear end MG teams, I said move!



MG A team should quick move to third squad and deploy.

MG B team should quick move to second squad and deploy.

Otherwise continue as previously ordered.

I'd wait until we get a couple of guys up to the woodline before we send up our tanks. And I would absolutely avoid sending our heavy armor into any of those woods in this weather.

Continue previous orders. 1st Platoon, feel free to cross to the North side of the road once you feel its clear (you can always send a scout team first).


A fine idea



Scout team should quick move along the yellow line to the edge of the treeline and then hunt the rest of the way to the middle.

Everyone else catch your breath.

No one else is moving to cut them off from that position they were just holding that allows them to shoot into the crossroads. If someone with infantry would like to put in some move orders, I'll change mine.

As has been mentioned you are actually in a really good spot to poo poo on anything that tries to retake the position they were just in. If you're really worried about it thought I would suggest you actually back a few of your tanks up a few meters so they are on higher ground. From there you should pretty much be guaranteed to slaughter them, and with little danger to ourselves.

Second squad should quick move to the far side of ASR Tinker but NOT enter the forest.

Recon should slow move to the edge of the forest.

All Strykers should turn about so they have their backs to the woods.

Second squad(Red X) move half way to the reacon teams position and then slow move up to a position just behind them.
First squad (Blue X) and MG B team should quick move to the forest edge and slow move to the far edge.
Third squad will hold and provide cover for this turn.

So was that AA Iglas? If so, good, they can't hit our drone.

We may want to cancel our second chopper, move our drone to spot the AA, and call in artillery. It will take a minute or two to move and another few minutes to call in the arty.


:getin:

Yes to moving the drone closer to the action and maybe yes to the artillery. But I would suggest against stopping the second chopper. Simply put I think it would likely be a wasted effort since if the Rus players have a brain in their heads they will move that AA asap now that they've revealed to the world where they are. It's highly likely we will get into a losing game of wack-a-mole and get into the dangerous mindset of "we can't use it, we might lose it :".

God, this thing does not want to save in any quality that is not rear end.

All combat squads quick move as shown and hunt into final positions
MG B team should move along with 3rd squad.
FOB team should move as shown, so we can try to get a better look at that treeline.
