Able company Looks to me like that scout group was taken out by a directly laid mortar (lots of explosions, very accurate, continued the whole turn), just goes to show that the area North of the assault route is not safe to move through. Let's get our hustle on, I want the eastern bit of the target dominated by multiple squads within two turns. Opposition within the woods itself has been little to none, so you should be safe enough as long as you avoid the northern danger zone.

 Current Positions:  Legend: Red - 1st Platoon (Glynnstein) Purple - HMG (habeasdorkus) Lilac - Jeep CHARLIE HUSTLE (habeasdorkus) Orders: HMG team is to immediately DISMOUNT and MOVE FAST to beneath the tree on ROUTE PURPLE. They are then to DEPLOY, and SHOOT ANYTHING THEY HAVE LOS ON THAT THEY CAN PENETRATE. I don't know the order for that, I'll edit if someone can provide it to me. Jeep CHARLIE HUSTLE is to WAIT 30 SECONDS, then MOVE FAST back down to Company HQ along ROUTE LILAC. Glynnstein: Looks like they're getting a little bit more ambitious in pushing from the north. If you can, pull back that scout along ROUTE RED to see if you can get them out of the line of fire, and do what you can to keep your intact squads in the red circle from eating fire. My HMG should be set up by the end of turn, which IIRC can shoot up halftracks. Comstar: I can't tell whether that's our mortars falling on the town or if that's Bac's smoke... but you've got your orders right. I'd ask you to modify them to move SLOW and HIDE if they're able to do that while medic-ing, I don't want you to pop up your head and get shot.

  Mortar team shell the hedgerow north of the field boundary, marked by the targeting range numbers. Everyone else recombine into your squads and sit around the campfire with the unit XO trying to unrattle yourselves. If you are a team that no longer has a squad, congratulations, you are a squad. I've also discussed with Hubis and I'll be taking up 3rd Plt. Charlie 1st Bn. but since his movement orders are both perfect and quite a lot better than I can produce with paint.net and squinting, continue to follow them.

  Platoon is to MOVE to the west. There looks be an abandoned set of foxholes just inside the woodline. I'd like the MG team to head there, everyone else to spread out south of that.

Able Company: Well done all, we've gained a foothold in the woods and soon the Germans won't be able to use it to see into our back lines. Not only that, we got there fast enough that we can exploit our success and gain some difficult ground before they have time to react! Map  I've requested some closeups showing Gradenko and Chillyrabbit's platoons separately, use them for orders if they come through in time. Brakeless: Give one more turn of woods suppression and then you are released to concentrate on your clearance task. Gradenko: Bring rifle troops to the blue line and prepare to clear the rest of the woods to the west. There were known enemy in this area so gather about 10 men in two or three teams. Your suppression fire stops in one turn, so the sooner you're formed up the better. Bring an MG team in behind them for use once the woods has been cleared. Bring the rest of your platoon close, but leave the interior of the woods for Chillyrabbit, who will: Chillyrabbit: Move as many troops as possible into the woods. Spread out several units onto the yellow line, including at least ten men in the creekbed at the far end of the forest. Deploy the rest spread out through the part of the forest we own. Once we have that done we'll attempt a crossing into Joshua Tree. Use QUICK and FAST commands, I want this done as soon as possible! Remember to avoid moving through the tank danger zone from my previous orders, it's proven dangerous already. Actions to be taken upon: Resistance in the woods: Halt the team that is attacked and suppress the area. Get another team round the side of the enemy within grenade range, target the area, then assault the position. Panzer attack: Hopefully the tanks are too busy to worry about us, but if it does happen we forget about further progress and try and get our troops behind whatever concealment they can find.

Apologies for the non workable orders, it was a misconception caused by incorrect information on the Combat Mission Wikia page.  So if I've got it right 2 squad and 2C can now merge. 3 Squad to move FAST about 20m, mortar team as shown.

Can anyone think of anything productive that 1/B can do? I'm totally out of ideas. I can probably get some lads forward into that treeline that's covered by indirect fire and tanks but I don't think that's going to achieve anything except their deaths.Acebuckeye13 posted:Well the video is broken but it's clear from the screenshot that the second Sherman up north is dead. Don't worry, we're getting whooped so hard we'll get all of our Shermans back for the next go around while also getting extra tanks.

Thanks! Able Company You're doing well. Nothing new from me, refine your orders if possible. Chillyrabbit, your main task after your current moves will be to cross into the Joshua tree woods. You'll have about 5 minutes to do this, so take this opportunity to plan ahead. Infantry opposition is expected to be light, but mortar fire remains a possibility.
