abelian posted:Agree that overruling like that is inappropriate in most cases. I think as an additional rule of thumb, let's try to leave it to Company Commanders to fill in for their immediate subordinates. In this case it seems like people were waiting for Dublish to fill in, and he either didn't realize that or wanted to keep the orders standing (in which case we should indicate so on the orders sheet).

Ya I'm sorry guys, I didn't even think about it. I looked at the orders spreadsheet, saw that the tanks didn't have orders and thought that seemed like the most important thing when GI came and gave us a few minutes to do orders for things that didn't have them. I'm sorry, I don't know what else to say at this point.

Update 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhINLhkT5IU  Save: https://www.dropbox.com/s/xui5sodbdstzee7/Goon%20Game%20Turn%207%20RUS%20Replay.bts?dl=0 Password: Poutine Orders will be due this Friday at 18:00 EST On formatting: Things have been shot. Modern combat is fast and brutal, with death happening in the blink of an eye. This format is super slow, with each minute of action taking three days at a time. I want to know if people would prefer a standard minute by minute play-through or a hybrid multi-minute per turn format where you give me conditionals so I can reasonably react with your troops without stopping the game. My reasoning for this is that with one minute turns we'll end up with players doing nothing but 'continue orders' for weeks of real time since they're not in position while other players are going fast and furious with modern combat. Let me know what you think and we'll take it from there. Generation Internet fucked around with this message at 20:57 on Oct 12, 2016 |

Some drat good shooting there, I think that'll spook the NATO boys quite a bit. I think multiple minute turns would be appropriate, Redeploying any decent distance in one minute increments is going to suck. If combat starts to get real intense, maybe break it down into 2-3minute segments. Abe, I'd appreciate it if you could get some soldier eye views of ATGM team B. Keep the trees on please, I don't like invisible tree mode. I assumed the GI would have them set to deploy weapons as soon as they stop moving, but it'd be good if you could confirm that as well. Edit: Also the west side Missile Group, just realized that that was my HQ potentially spotting stuff. Jaguars! fucked around with this message at 10:05 on Oct 12, 2016 |

Also, it seems that tree branch LoS often does not line up with the camera LoS in combat mission, so there is no substitute for the LoS tool, crappy as it is.  Here you can see ATGM teams A and B, as well as the FO team. None of the teams are able to move at a faster pace than "move". The ATGM teams are rested; the FO is flashing-red-exhausted. Possibly a mistake on my part to not path the BTR along the road, but at least it didn't delay the tanks or ATGM teams. I'd guess that ATGM team A has a 20 seconds before they reach their destination, and that team B has at least another minute. I don't actually have any order to deploy (even though in the editor that's an option). So maybe they'll deploy on their own when the reach their destination?  View from ATGM 1/A's destination. Narrow field of view.  Same position as above; wider FoV. You can see the smoking hull of the bogged BTR that 2 coy took out on the left. View from ATGM 1/B's eventual position. Note the suspected tank contact on the right (sorry I now realize I have the NATO APP-6 symbols mod enabled; the tank is the thing that looks like a bed with four bedposts; the ones with the pointy tops are personnel carriers)  Same position as above; wider FoV.

Jaguars! posted:Some drat good shooting there, I think that'll spook the NATO boys quite a bit. I'll say! It didn't occur to me before, but the sight lines from those tanks down the road means that we can do a decent job cutting them off from getting to that cover on their side of the open field. Based on their current deployment, my guess is that they're trying to push a motorized infantry force to the clump of woods SW of the intersection and hope to contest access that way. Holding the hill as we currently do really makes that more difficult. What it seems like they are NOT doing is a fast end-run around the bottom, which to me indicates that we can potentially push 1st Coy more aggressively along the west. It also SEEMS like the recon team didn't have too much trouble getting up that ravine in their APC. I imagine it would still be pretty hairy with an entire company worth of vehicles moving through it, but it might make sense to send 1/2 and 1/3 down from different sides, and plan to shift 1/1 to support 2nd Coy in the east. Generation Internet posted:
I think the problem with having too many contingencies is that it's going to be a pain in the rear end for you to run, and will be awkward/frustrating for us to try and guess what we need to potentially plan for 5 minutes in advanced. That's a lot of room for misinterpretation and second-guessing. I think 3m rounds is a decent compromise at this stage. As things get hotter we could step it down to 2m if needed.

Hero of the Russian Federation tank (for *DOUBLE KILL*) squeezed between two lone trees and perched himself on top of a mound of dirt.  Reverse slope? Hull-down fighting position? We do not know these concepts, comrade. (N.B., to be fair, he actually is partially hull-down to most of the targets that he's engaging, the position sure looks silly though). Hubis posted:It didn't occur to me before, but the sight lines from those tanks down the road means that we can do a decent job cutting them off from getting to that cover on their side of the open field. It's a pretty textbook keyhole fighting position, that's for sure. And hull down to boot.   Euro Truck Simulator meets combat mission. Semi truck, don't you know you're silhouetted on the top of Mt Silver like that? Get down from there! Hubis posted:It also SEEMS like the recon team didn't have too much trouble getting up that ravine in their APC.  I'd drive my very long eight wheeled vehicle down this cliff any day.

Yooper posted:So was that a triple kill or just a double kill with a single round? That was pretty awesome, I had no idea the game modeled ballistics like that. Move one or both tanks forward so they can hopefully get a better view of the crossroads. You've got a shallow slope east for a good distance before you hit the military crest of the hill you're on- use the contours on the Roll20 map to see where it starts getting steep. You're in a good keyhole position, but it's possible they could sneak something up the hill with the terrain blocking your view. Use your infantry to cover the forests south of the road in case they've got incoming infantry. Mount Silver is still a concern, but I'm going to have NastyToes reposition to cover the clearing. With our recon units in Jagged Pass, it's redundant to have him guarding that area.

I can't look at the save until this afternoon. For orders, I think 2 or 3 minute turns is worth trying, but I think more is infeasible. Those APCs are in trouble in the open, but I wonder what they're doing with their tanks. They obviously pushed some troops (recon? spotters? atgm?) to try to get into that lobe of woods in the open; we may want to barrage the trees with some slow anti-personnel mortar fire in case some units made/make it there. My best guess is they are attempting to use the road to get some infantry up into forward positions in the trees since I doubt they planned to rush a whole company of infantry without tanks up into town in the open; you can see some units turning west, I think. 2nd company might need to plan a second defensive line in case they beat us to good positions near Mt Silver or are pushing tanks there. That's another place to think about harassing mortar fire just to jumble them up. 1st Company is looking okay, I guess. The chokepoint is pretty brutal, but we are making good speed once through. Should get everybody through in the next turn and then be out of the way of 2nd Company there. I'm glad we have recon well forward into the passes, but I can't tell if the lack of any contacts means much. Might be that they are trying a wide west swing, or maybe we just can't tell poo poo from isolated terrain.

They may have been trying to use the tanks to overwatch a forward push of recon/observers? Anyways, if I were them (and based on what we see now) I might try and do something like this  Send out a token recon and holding force to the flats. Take the woods at the crossroads and try to use that to get a foothold on the far side of the road. Meanwhile, sweep westward along the south, using infantry to scout and secure a path while the main push of armor heads to mount silver. Hold tight at the crossroads and try to sweep around so that their main force can cross mount silver to the Highway. e: Based on how far they are right now and depending on how much traffic they are seeing themselves, they might be half-way across that southern road, and might reach that western crossroads at the end of next turn? We might want to place artillery on the forest southwest of the main crossroads to forestall them getting a foothold there (if that is indeed how they're moving out) but I'm not certain it's worth wasting on a blind guess yet. I agree with Glynenstein that a harass mission on the copse of trees at the far end of the flats would at least be useful tactically, if not necessarily inflicting a lot of direct material harm Hubis fucked around with this message at 16:17 on Oct 12, 2016 |

 So things are going very well. They clearly did not anticipate us being as far forward as we are, and to be fair, neither did we. I think we need to press this advantage where we can, but avoid being overly aggressive. Generation Internet - did some Iglas teams get deployed? 1st Coy - Keep doing what you're doing. Maybe do something clever with the fact your tanks got so far forward? I dunno, if it turns out that our scouting teams don't spot anything in the far west, you're going to go hard to Mount Pyre. 2nd Coy - Sorry again about the override, but I think it worked out ok. Be ready to receive an attack from the South across Mount Silver/the Danger Zone. If this frontal attack of theirs is called off (as I expect it will be), those forces will probably pull back and take the Fiery Path/move across Golem Draw to attack from the Southeast. That will take a while though. Overall I like that your armored element is potentially cutting them off from Mirage Island. Maybe push the tank that didn't fire forward to get better spotting? Does unbuttoning do anything to help spotting in this game? Of course it very well could be that was their forward-most element trying to make it to Mirage Island. That would match up to the distance the other vehicles we've seen have traveled. That's a minor coup if we managed it. 3rd Coy - Unleash the hounds. You've got a weakly armored and armed mechanized company element confronting a tank platoon of T-90s. Pay attention to how long your tanks are out in the open relative to how long it takes their ATGM teams to set up, but I think now is the time for Aggression to punish their marching column while we have the opportunity. Otherwise keep on keeping on. Support Coy - Could we maybe run one of those AGL BTRs over to support 3rd Coy? Get those things set up, see if they can't do some long range anti-infantry on the dudes who I assume are going to be dismounting in mass now. I don't know how the timing works on that, but it's the longest range Anti-Personnel weaponry we have, so it might do some good over with 3rd Coy. Also we have a request from 3rd Coy for artillery support. I think this is fair to do - since the mortars are on-map, they'll be completely under your control to do whatever you see fit. The off-map artillery will be something we need to agree on. Do we think this situation warrants 152 shells? I'm leaning toward no, mainly because our tanks seem to be doing the job on their own fairly spectacularly. What are your thoughts? Recon - Besides the dudes on Mount Silver looking south/southeast, you're basically free to do whatever now. Drive the recon HQ down the western edge of the map as before, but where your guys go after that is up to you. You could also maybe do some clever things splitting teams and leaving some behind as scouts, but really just continue scouting and try to get eyes on the enemy to the south. The guys on Mount Silver are an important tripwire though, so I'd request that they stay where they are. Any concerns with this? Battalion Forces - Move the battalion tank up to support 3rd Coy. I kind of suspect that they're going to lose some tanks in the near future. Don't let them know that though. Otherwise continue on as scheduled. Are these orders ok? I'm trying to get the right balance.

Yeah, I took a closer look at the video. There's a tank back there somewhere. Possibly trying to put it into the treeline to shoot out over the road/field. Maybe also moving behind the trees. Appears to be a sound contact. Also: BTR-70 contacts. Don't see any BTR-4E with the dangerous autocannon and other upgrades. These have 14.5mm HMGs like ours. We still don't want our BTRs to get shot with that, though. glynnenstein fucked around with this message at 16:39 on Oct 12, 2016 |

We're the Russians--better to keep our support fires massed than distribute them out piecemeal. And we're going to be mortaring them anyway. I disagree with this, but not too much. If 2nd Company feels that they can spare the AGS team, they can feel free to chop it to 3rd Company Since we were so worried about running out of 152 shells earlier, I'd say this: did we see any Abrams in the vehicles? If yes, then I'll authorize the use of 152 shells in full. If not, I'd say harassment only. As to where specifically the mortars/152s are to come down, that's going to depend on the particular LOS of our FO or command groups. I don't want to draw up a map until I have a good idea of what they can see.

Phi230 posted:Im extremely apprehensive about moving our tanks especially if the reports of enemy armor on overwatch are true. The one that has solid contact should probably stay put. We might be able to get eyes on with another tank in short order, but would agree that any major movements would best be performed by less valuable assets. I would think we have at least a good minute to continue the beating before having to get too concerned about retaliatory fire. Given that we have clear shots on enemy armor, but their significant armor assets do not have clear shots on us yet, I would expect them to be moving their assets into more suitable positions rather than waiting it out.

Quick logistical note - going to try and standardize on two minute turns so this doesn't take forever.

Then again, "first-est with the most-est" and whatnot.

 1st Platoon/5th Platoon: Advance at least one tank east along the road until it has line of sight to the crossroads. Do not go any further. It's up to your discretion whether you move both tanks. Redeploy your infantry to guard against an enemy advance from Golem Draw. Do not allow your tanks to be exposed to infantry attacks. 2nd Platoon: We're still waiting to cross the swamp, so I have no new orders for you. 3rd Platoon: With 1st Platoon shifting east and recon units heading into Jagged Pass, I need you to guard Mount Silver. If anything tries to cross the open ground between Ravaged Path and Victory Road, I want you in place to stop it. Headquarters Orders: No new orders.

I think PC has something similar in mind. In any case, I think I would prefer that you keep the 3 tanks together to ensure best possible fire superiority if you're suprised. I think with infantry moving up this this orders phase you will soon be moving toward the Mt Pyre vicinity.

 Right! The armor is looking pretty good. My BTR's are running into pathing issues through the forest so I'm sending sending them back a bit to follow a road out. In addition I'll be moving up my southern tank into a small rise further down the road. It looks like it'll still give me a hulldown and coverage of that crossroads. Right now that tank doesn't have visibility until about 2km out (the steel bridge).   HQ Tank will remain in reserve where he is. Tank #1 will remain in position on the North sidish side of the road. Tank #2 will move FAST to the marked position. There's a slight dip in the terrain there that should allow for some hulldown positioning with allowing for a view down that steeper section.  Cancel current moves on all three of my BTR's. Instead send them west QUICK and have them use the road to get onto the main road. At that point move FAST until they reach TANK #1. Halt here and continue the rest of the move in the second minute of this round. From that point I'd like to drop the three BTR's along the woodline as marked in BLUE above. If I may have a conditional order, if Tank #1 gets popped on its way into position during that first minute turn, please halt my three BTR's on the back side of the rise behind Tank #1.

glynnenstein posted:I'm not sure that there's any view there because of trees, but I'll have to check in game this afternoon. I am thinking it's more likely we push you farther south along the extreme west toward open ground near Hubis' speculative enemy left flank with 3rd platoon covering the woods. I think PC has something similar in mind. In any case, I think I would prefer that you keep the 3 tanks together to ensure best possible fire superiority if you're suprised. I think with infantry moving up this this orders phase you will soon be moving toward the Mt Pyre vicinity. All right its your call I'll just have the three tanks group up in the old initial positions until I get further orders.  Tanks continue to Quick move following the black arrow until the reach the other side of the road where I would like them deployed for one tank for each square facing the direction of the yellow arrow. Thank you.

Recon Platoon  Yellow: Go up the west side of the hill so that the BTR is shielded from enemy LOS. Dismount ~30m away on the west side of the hill (so the BTR isn't exposed), split into teams and disperse and HIDE along the ridgeline, makign sure a team is on the summit. Red: Back up and go through the southern valley. The gradient looks more traversable and it lets us look down another likely avenue of approach. Blue: Keep doing what you were doing. I'm going to be away for the next week so will need a stand-in for that time.
