I'd like to voice a request to be assigned an infantry outfit, because that's the majority of my experience with these games (and in general).

Or I don't know if Company command means I'll be getting vehicles included no matter what, but that's okay.

All Platoons

Request that your troops be told to "Undeploy" during the deployment phase



2nd Platoon, under Stairmaster

Advance North-Northeast, according to 2/Red arrow, on the left.

3rd Platoon, under chitoryu12

Advance North-Northeast, between 2nd and 4th Platoon, according to 3/Blue arrow.

Coordinate with the Cavalry Group to have your squads ride on their tanks going to Cobru.

To Acebuckeye13: we are requesting two squads from 3rd Platoon to board your medium tanks.

4th Platoon, under Remora

Advance North/North-Northeast, according to 4/Green arrow, on the right. Avoid intruding on Natchez Trace, since our armor might be using that.

Company HQ (direct orders for GH)

We will trail behind 2nd Platoon. Please set a destination 50 yards behind wherever 2nd Platoon is ordered to move to.

Commander's Intent

* We have been ordered to move to and secure Objective Cobru. We will be moving towards it directly
* I want you to be spread out, so that we don't all get nailed by a single artillery strike
* We can advance at a normal pace for now; use the MOVE command. We will probably not make it to Cobru before another orders cycle.
* The "Undeploy" order is so that the troops can begin moving immediately, rather than starting the game with the equipment laid-out and then needing to re-pack it before moving out

2nd Platoon, under Stairmaster

Continue advancing North-Northeast, according to Red designations. I am having you pass through Vicksburg / to the west of that swampy area, since I do not want you bunching up against everyone else

3rd Platoon, under chitoryu12

Continue advancing North-Northeast, between 2nd and 4th Platoon, according to Blue designations. Use QUICK movement, as we need boots inside that town ASAP.

4th Platoon, under Remora

Continue advancing North/North-Northeast, according to Green designations, on the right. Continue to avoid intruding on Natchez Trace.

Company HQ (direct orders for GH)

We will trail behind 2nd Platoon. Please set a destination 50 yards behind wherever 2nd Platoon is ordered to move to.

* We have been ordered to move to and secure Objective Cobru. We will be moving towards it directly

* I want you to be spread out, so that we don't all get nailed by a single artillery strike

* I have laid out which buildings I intend for the platoons to occupy. Prefer "inside" sites to outside ones, for defensiveness's sake, but not to the detriment of line-of-sight.

Commander's Intent

* We have been ordered to move to and secure Objective Cobru. We will be moving towards it directly

* Now that 3rd Platoon has gained some distance from 2nd and 4th, 4th Platoon can switch to a Quick pace to get to Cobru faster. 2nd will remain at Move.

* I have laid out which buildings I intend for the platoons to occupy. Prefer "inside" sites to outside ones, for defensiveness's sake, but not to the detriment of line-of-sight.

* Designate which buildings you want your individual squads to occupy, if you have not already done so.

2nd Platoon

Occupy the zone marked in red

3rd Platoon

Occupy the zone marked in blue.

Use your discretion if you'll decide to occupy the zone marked in teal. Particularly, crossing the street might be hazardous.

4th Platoon

Occupy the zone marked in green.

As with 3rd Platoon, crossing the street might be hazardous.

Able Company HQ



Please issue a MOVE order directly towards the house marked in yellow.

Commander's Intent

* I am trying to shift a dispositions to be a little more north-facing, as we are expecting an attack directly from a north, possibly with a flanking movement to the north-west

* That said, 4th Platoon is still facing somewhat eastwards because of the nature of the terrain and the room we have to operate in

* Do not feel obliged to put everyone inside houses, if there's good defensible terrain on the outside.

Thoughts:

Having watched the video, I'm of a mind to not change any orders for A Coy. Anything I'd like to change now would constitute micromanaging specific squad placements within the platoon, which is not only outside of my command responsibility, but I don't have the werewithal to be able to give any more precise orders in the first place . If we really do need to get into the nitty-gritty of having to account for floors and windows and sight-lines, I'm afraid I can't contribute (this is really more a thing with the specific format of the game we're trying to play).

Should 4th Platoon need to shift, or anything else that Gnoman wants to change, we'll comply, but as of now I think we're good.

I'm okay with being shifted horizontally, but I'd really prefer to not be given a lower-level command, as I'm no good with the finicky platoon-level orders (or rather, I think I'm not - I don't know?)

gradenko_2000:Continue the defense of Foy. If the germans attempt to stand-off and shell the outer buildings with their assault guns, best to withdraw from endangered positions and fight them on our terms. Only critical spotting and AT shots at the key tanks should be risked.
