Willie Tomg posted:For real, if anything this thread is distressingly calm considering we lost 2/3rds of the map and half a company for free We killed a T90. I think our position overall is actually not bad; we've secured most of ASR Tinker and their artillery is blowing its load against empty forests and fields. Ed: assuming we get our air in the game now and don't just stand around holding our dicks while they figure out what to do next.

Maybe one of those units that is sitting at the back not getting orders? Or possibly one of the BTR's that unloaded/are unloading could go back and pick up that bogged HQ unit and do it? 1st platoon, 2nd company is headed over there already.

2nd Armored Ad-hoc M1A2 and Oplot move forward to sit on the crossroads in the marked location/facing (purple). T64 should peel off and follow the marked path on Fast movement (blue). If the road is too crammed up with that mechanized group, set way points to run parallel to the road and not get caught in the traffic.

Speaking of air power, who wants to call in some danger close fire from that F-15E? GI can you give me an over-the-shoulder shot from my M1A2? I want to know how far I have to push up before my tanks can shoot into that stand of trees in the middle of Field of Dreams.

dtkozl posted:While we have the tanks there we should use them to screen that infantry platoon to quick march into the woods directly north. What is that, 1st squad A co? No need to take 10 minutes to slowly hunt either, we could run them across quick and secure that portion of the woods for the tanks to move up in the turn after next with 100% safety. I support this. Those tanks are going to be stuck in shortly as well, so I'm not super worried about those troops being left without support.

2nd Armored Ad Hoc Whatever T64: repeatedly hunt along the marked path until reaching the indicated position.  M1A2 / Oplot: Move along the marked path. If they're not already engaging something when they get LOS on the marked stand of trees with the infantry contacts, have the Oplot target area and throw some HE shells in there.

RIP my tank. Remember that situation I mentioned about having armor over there? Well, it happened and we're in the poo poo now. Chunky I suggest you back your tank off ASAP because it will just get hosed up like mine did. Edit: Willie be thankful but that was a garbage-tier T64 that got lit, not the Oplot.

dtkozl I've got my tanks in a pretty good position to make sure the Russians can't re-take FoD but I'm unable to support 1co from here. I'm concerned if I push up any further I'm going to run them into that other T90 and get killed. How aggressive do you want me to be here?

Yeah, we also have no idea at all what all is lurking over there. Assuming it's one T90 because that's what killed my T64 is magical thinking. Wait for The Merry Marauder's infantry to make contact before getting your Abrahms stuck in.

That looks like two mechanized companies and a tank in there. I think 1co is done. Ed: what's the call-in time on that 15E? Propose we get the JTAC to gently caress them the gently caress up with it.

We need another platoon of infantry at least strung out in the woods South and SE of my tanks along FoD. Otherwise we're not going to have any screen from them turn toward us after they finish chewing up 1co.

Based on the intelligence gathered, I think there is a VERY LIKELY POSSIBILITY that we are going to have Russian armor/mechanized units entering from our own deployment area shortly. We should probably not have a bunch of squishy support assets sitting down there and I would strongly recommend re-deploying some of those weapons teams to cover the SE corner of the map. I know we don't care about the town itself, but slowing down any Russian units entering the map there will give the trucks more time to escape.

The option you didn't take, in this case the Ukrainian company, is understood to be delaying any Russians approaching from behind you in a rear-guard action.

Can we also get some additional sick-rear end 1 minute American mortars going on the mass of Russkie dismounts on our front here? Our vehicles vs their RPGs looks a lot better if they're all eating HE for breakfast.

The Apache is going to come in and gently caress up some stuff in that area but we're pretty heavily engaged in that spot just south of its current radius and don't have spots on the treeline there.
