I'm sure everyone missed my terrible tank driving in the last games but I'm back! I noticed you guys didn't have any spares in the signup thread so I figured I'd join on incase you need someone to step in.

Ah poo poo, I just got home, sorry. If I'm not horribly late, pair my Abrams and BM with the two from the other platoon and do whatever Barracuda said to do with the T-64 for now. Otherwise I guess I'll find out where my dudes went.

Acebuckeye13 posted:Also, from the looks of it appears as though Chunky Monkey's tanks are literally within yards of getting LoS on that T-90. If they can draw the T-90's fire or disable it themselves, that'll greatly help in buying time for 1st Company to divert from their current route. This is what I had in mind, the T-64 clone is probably poo poo and wont see anything but the Abrams can wreck a T-90 easy. Anyone have a good view from ground level there? I'm thinking the Abrams can pull off to the right as soon as it would have LoS on those positions, and the T-64 clone can continue up a ways until it can actually see anything.

The Oldest Man posted:That's actually my T64. Yours is on the other side of the map. I mean the Bulat. I forgot the name and it's a T-64 clone so I just called it that, sorry for the confusion!  This is what I had in mind, the left most red circle is what I believe to be the Abrams, it should move up to the pink line, should have LoS from there. The other red circle is the Bulat, which should move along the Pink arrow to the tree (the green circle, it's a tree it's just hidden on the screenshot), and setup hull down under the tree if possible. The other T-64 of mine can keep following Barracuda's orders.

Willie Tomg posted:I can't testify to the optics, but the gun is literally the same gun on the T-90 currently pushing 1st Co's poo poo in right now. True, I probably shouldn't be so quick to judge. I tried looking up the real stats for the vehicle and it looks like the max effective range is 2500m, which is probably about how far away that T-90 is. I had originally thought it was one of the 1980's modernizations of the T-64 but it was actually done in the 2000's so it might turn out decent.

I can keep these guys busy here for now denying them from getting at our squishy innards if that's what's needed. Also keep in mind that my T-64 is detached and working with 2Co to flank. Edit: I'd like to move after the next 2 turn cycle though. While we are worrying about using mortars on a T-90, I expect the Russians to be a bit more liberal with their artillery, especially considering what they saw coming out of there.

If anyone has any new requests for armor, let me know, otherwise I think I can get away with another 2 turns standing pat (well moving the Abrams out from behind that smoke, but besides that). Orders: Bulat can stay where it is. Abrams should reverse along pink and then push up into the trees there. T-64 can continue with 2co.

ro5s posted:It looked like that tank on Eagle moved aside to clear the road last turn, so something might be coming our way. I would agree with this sentiment, it looks like something will be coming down that road, possibly the retreated troops from FOD? Also, I think they are going to artillery right between my two tanks on MSR Trump, which kinda cuts my Bulat off from falling back but they have armor overlooking that and haven't shot at it so I'm wondering if they even know it's there.

Can we call in the helo then cancel it later if the drone gets filled with holes? If so, I'd say we make the call now. Also is it time based? Like you call it in for X amount of time and then it's gone for 20 minutes to refuel? Or is it a one time thing and it sticks around until we win or it dies?

I feel like someone should scout our alt exit, just to see if the Russians have pushed into it, you know, before we send the trucks there to die. 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?

What you are doing now is walking right into the engagement area of tanks on the other side of junction! Does this better suit your request?  Bulat to QUICK along yellow, then QUICK along Pink and poke through the trees overlooking that valley. Abrams to QUICK along green, then QUICK along pink after the Bulat, unless the Bulat gets shot at, then seek nearest cover. fake edit: good lord that picture is huge real edit: Also, yes, my T-64BV is playing anti armor asset for 2Co at the moment.

dtkozl posted:He could drive into fist and help out A company/BAT grenade launchers there, he could drive behind a CO 1st plt and either poke his nose north through the tree line or continue and help out the other set of BATT grenade launchers and take a shot at that infantry we see and mill around and maybe support them. He could power up to 1co and help recon take out those BTRs. Lots of options and things seem relatively safe, there are lots of infantry to hide behind where he can still get a shot or two off at targets. I would support poking out into the road to see if there's anything worth shooting, but I don't feel strongly enough about it to override Bacarruda's orders for my T-64. I'd be happy to take command back over though if he feels that it is no longer useful to 2co.

1st Armored Adhoc Bulat should MOVE to the top of the hill just out of sight, then HUNT to peek over to see what can be seen. Abrams should QUICK along yellow to back up the Bulat. Provisional order to move somewhere safe if 1Co gets overrun before it arrives. T-64BV can continue to follow Bacarruda's orders. Someone let me know where I can be to better help 1Co if needed.

Random thoughts: I assume that was my T-64BV that died? Also, exactly how hosed is 1Co? I don't really want to send the Abrams up there with it looking like that, and I'm considering pulling out the Bulat if it's just going to get rushed by infantry that probably can kill it with RPG's. On the topic of the reinforcements, the Abrams should probably fall under armored command, the Bradley's are a tossup, and the Stryker teams can probably go with the weapons team. Thoughts on the weapons platoon and the mortar teams. At some point both those groups are probably going to want to get a move on to the exit (you don't want to leave our mortar dudes to fight Putin alone do you?). Last, at the moment it looks like we are going to have a tough time holding the amount of ground we are currently covering. I think we need to try to consolidate closer to the exit so we can better concentrate our firepower. Once this turn's reinforcements arrive, we are waiting on nothing else from the front, so there is no sense trying to hold the line any longer than is needed to get those trucks through. Once the trucks are out we can get the hell outta dodge.

How does this look? Bulat to push up 150 ft (about where dtkozl suggested) and face NNW. Target (brief? light? not sure which) the tree line with the machine gun if we can't see anyone at that point. Abrams to quick as fast as possible along green (go around the convoy), and down into the low ground, then move up the hill until it can see the field from a hull down position.

1st Armored Ad hoc Bulat move forward 150ft (as dtkozl suggested) and face NNW. Target light the area where that Russkie that killed all those dudes was. Abrams can continue previous orders. Provisional: If the Bulat and 1Co take significant casualties in the first minute, pull back somewhere safe. Also if I remember correctly from previous games, the reinforcements are on a slightly random timer, so they can come in a couple minutes early or late, right? If they show up early, consider this some provisional orders to move them up out of spawn a bit so they aren't just sitting back for a turn or two. Somewhere safe though.

The Merry Marauder posted:I mean, it seems reasonable that it's just a blocking force preventing us from driving around their defense and turning up on their flank. It's possible that they have literally so many T-90's that it was easy to spare one for over there. It would be like it was in the last Combat Mission goon game I was in where we had so many Abrams it was insane.

dtkozl posted:Chunky I want your tanks in the woods providing close support. Only do so slightly behind allied infantry though (--THIS IS IMPORTANT) Currently your one tank is too far forward and the other too far back. Set them up in the woods slightly behind our own infantry in order to stiffen the line. Right now there isn't much there but I will be moving a poo poo load of machine guns in the next few turns along with grenade launchers and recoilless rifles so keep your tanks safe but advance with the infantry. Try and set them up so you are ambushing their armor that is moving forward, do not try and move to engage unless their tank is already clearly engaging another target. The Bulat is a little ahead of where you suggested putting it, and the Abrams is still driving. How does this positioning look? I'm concerned that I wont be able to get any closer with how thick the forest is there.

pthighs posted:Where specifically are you talking about? Here's where the UAV can see. Moving it will take at least two minutes. Not the UAV, the American mortar carriers that can be on target within a minute. I second this, it'll be bad enough if tanks push through there let alone a horde of infantry with ATGMs and RPGs. Edit: Also, move the trucks over to the Ukrainian mortar teams so they can be unloading ammo while they are waiting for us to call them in again (which we should do, maybe on those tanks up north?)
