Mes amis, would it not be wise to consider anti-tank performance the highest priority? After all, why insist on a tank when a field gun can perform the same role on the defense, no?

I'll be on vacation next week, so I can't take command of a unit right now, but if you need people after the 28th, I can jump in.

Grey, could you put some work into the audio quality of your videos? I can barely hear you over the constant wind sounds sometimes, and there's this very annoying constant buzzing sound.

Grey Hunter posted:I'm trying to balance things out,but the lack of volume options in the game make it bloody hard. I'm at +8db and the game at -30. I'll crank it down Abit more though. By the way, do you use a standalone mic or a headset to record? Edit: Sorry, what I actually wanted to say was that it also sounds like your mic placement is off, your voice in general is very unclear even without the wind sounds overpowering you. My experience with mics in general is that they have a very small range in which they capture sound well, and can distinguish it from background noises. This should be easy to find out and fix if you feed what your mic picks up into your headphones while recording. Dance Officer fucked around with this message at 22:31 on Sep 4, 2018 |

Does anyone know anything about the effects of strafing runs on tigers and panthers? Regardless of their effect, I think it would be a good idea to play the card this round. Even if we can't take out the tanks, we can sure as hell go after the halftracks and self propelled artillery, and halt the armoured advance through lack of support.

Straggler battalion orders I haven't heard from Able and Baker companies about where they see us in their plans despite a few requests for information and cooperation, so I've decided that Straggler battalion will adopt a rearguard positions for now. 1st Straggler platoon will base out of Prince William forest. You will serve as reinforcements for Able Company as needed. 2nd Straggler platoon will base out of the small woods to the east of Prince William forest. 3rd Straggler platoon will base out of Shenandoah and serve as a defense against planking attacks in case Killroy Company gets overrun or retreats. 4th Straggler platoon will base out of Great Smokey forest, to the south of Baker Company, and serve as second line of defense and reserves for Baker Company. Straggler weapons platoon will base to the south of Prince William forest and provide indirect fire as requested.

Straggler battalion orders It's looking like the Germans will break Killroy company and then make a play for the town, or head south towards our position. Baker 2nd is also moving to reinforce the town. 1st platoon: Will head to reinforce 3rd straggler in case of a German push south. 2nd platoon: will head to 1st straggler's old position, and assume a defensive stance. 3rd platoon: will assume a defensive stance. 4th platoon: will head north and take baker 2nd's old position. One of the HQ HMG teams will accompany 1st platoon and reinforce 3rd platoon.

I think we played our armour wrong by having it serve as some sort of static defence instead of a mobile force, but that's completely moot now.

Fray posted:I keep waiting for the Germans to give the order for their armor to flatten Mesa Verde and they just keep not doing it. It’s insane how long this platoon has held on given how much firepower could be brought down on them. This, exactly. To me it looks like they they went with a broad front approach, keeping their tanks in the middle to supress the town and using their infantry to rush Mesa. This blew up in their faces and in my opinion was the predictable outcome, and why/how they haven't bothered rectifying this is beyond me.

Straggler orders 1st and 3rd stragglers: as shown, some of your troops are in the line of fire from the German tanks on Mesa Verder to the AT gun near your positions. Move your troops out of the way. Orders also came down to spread out your units more across the area.

Orders: 1st battalion, A Company We've gotten the order to scout the Petrified Forest, so that's what we'll do. I'm not expecting contact for now. I believe HQ team: Will NORMAL MOVE north 2nd platoon: Will scout the southern part of Petrified Forest 3rd platoon: Will scout northern part of Petrified Forest 4th platoon: Will set up perimeter to the East and act as reinforcements for now General order: Mortar squads start DEPLOYED tips etc: Split your squads up into teams and switch teams between HUNT and MOVE to always stay covered. Have one of your MG's deployed while the other moves up. edit: 4th platoon doesn't exist  edit: 4th platoon does exist, 1st doesn't :galaxy brain: Dance Officer fucked around with this message at 19:04 on Oct 26, 2018 |

1st Battalion, A Company orders So we've gotten the order to attack into Joshua Tree and I've updated our orders to reflect that. It seems Joshua is uphill from us, so we're not in a good place to attack, but I don't expect many troops to be occupying it. The general plan is to advance up into Everglades forest and use that as a base for our attack. HQ: Will NORMAL MOVE up with 4th platoon into Petrified Forest 2nd platoon: Will push through Pretrified Forest and move to occupy Everglades. Deploy an MG on the rim of Petrified Forest as you make the crossing to Everglades. 3rd platoon: Will sweep the northern part of Petrified Forest, then move into position East of Everglades, up to the creek. You'll be in a vulnerable position, but so far Gettysburg seems clear and I'm not expecting Sequoia to be occupied. 4th platoon: Will change directions, march straight through Petrified Forest and move to occupy Everglades. Deploy an MG on the rim of Petrified Forest as you make the crossing to Everglades. General orders: Pack up your mortars and move them along if you haven't already done so.

1st battalion, A company orders 3rd and 4th platoons are pretty mauled, but it seems the artillery has stopped dropping. These platoons are to rest up as needed, and then proceed according to the original plan. 2nd platoon will move into Everglades as planned. When you reach it, make sure to hide. We don't want the Germans to be aware of our presence with only one platoon there. Dance Officer fucked around with this message at 12:20 on Nov 8, 2018 |

I'd prefer if we called a truce for now, and pick this back up in the new year or just end it. It seems most people are tired, at least on our side, and there's some sore feelings about just how much the Germans were given for this battle.
