I just ran some tests on the crossing 2nd company is supposed to use. Our tanks seem to cross fine with no pathfinding issues, but our BRTs have a lot of trouble. Those that cross do so very slowly, taking 2 minutes or more to cross. The rest bug out, reverse, and try to go around the swamp. This is what the crossing looks like in-game.

The 50-ton tanks can bog in the fields even on quick speed. The BRTs should be fine. I never noticed them bog down when I tested it. Considering our platoon deployments, maybe 1st and 3rd should cross at Viridian and 2nd should cross at Rida.

Orders for 2nd Company 3rd Platoon Units should wait for 2/1 to move out and then proceed down the road along the highlighted path at QUICK speed. Use 5-second pause intervals between BTRs to give spacing. Upon reaching their destination, the BTRs will REVERSE into the forest for concealment. Infantry will remain in the BTRs until needed.

Was looking at the save and noticed a few things. Figured I would just drop some screenshots here. If Abelian's FO cancels its fire mission it can call down a precision strike on the ATGM team that took out our tank.  Kev's tanks seem to be stuck behind the recon BTR so it's going to take 4 or more minutes for them to get through those woods.  3rd company 5/2 is sitting right behind a small tree. The target command says he still has LOS in front of him but we already shot a tree twice so he might want to move to the right a smidge.  3rd company 5/1 is surrounded by trees and doesn't have LOS on the road at all.

Was looking at the save and noticed a few things. Yooper's scout team is under fire from an enemy squad that is sitting maybe 30 meters away from it. You can see several of the grenades get thrown.  This is where they seem to be.  An Oplot is driving south and then we lose contact with it. It may be moving towards Kev's tanks.  An Abrams and an Oplot have moved up into the entrance of Mount Silver.   One of our FO teams has moved up into a spot that can call in a precision fire mission on where that ATGM team was.   The FO that can see that Abrams can call in a precision fire mission on it. If you target the ground right in front of the Abrams instead of it directly it won't get a laser warning.

Took more screenshots. I thought this was neat. The game seems to actually track the location of air assets. You can see the Igla trail leads to where the tracers are coming from.  Looks like we have artillery being called down on our tank overlooking the intersection.  Here is who I think is responsible and where they are.  And here are the assholes trying to kill us. Funny thing: if you move the camera close enough you can hear the sound of the mortars firing.  If you get close you can actually see the mortar round. No idea how we are spotting this. I'm guessing this is a 120mm mortar round.  That Abrams we were going to precision strike is moving toward mount silver.  Yooper's HQ tank can't see anything because of the trees.  Due to ammo sharing, Yooper's RPG team blew through two squads worth of RPG ammo.  This is a crazy plan to put 5/3 in a keyhole position against that Abrams. Probably not worth the risk. The rest of these are good spots to put our BTRs for laying down area fire on those enemy contacts we are about to assault.

Screenshots incoming! Yooper has killed four three-man teams and five guys belonging to a company HQ team. Since Ukrainian squads have six men, that leaves two three-man teams, a two-man platoon HQ, and two men left in the company HQ.  Here are where I think the three-man teams and company HQ are. The platoon HQ shouldn't be far. Those tracers are the RPGs that got fired at our BTRs.   Ukrainian tactical groups come with six 120mm mortar teams, so that leaves two teams unaccounted for. They are probably in the same area as this mortar.  Our precision strike on the ATGM team happened. GI just missed it in the video. Looks like they moved a BTR up to that team, maybe they were mounting up to move out?     The tank Kev killed earlier was a T-64BV, the tank on Mount Silver with the Abrams is a BM-Oplot, and the tank on Ravaged Path is the BM-Bulat that we saw much earlier. All three perform about the same. It looks like we are facing two Ukrainian companies. Since Ukrainian tank platoons have four tanks each plus a battalion tank, we should still have 6 tanks unaccounted for. We saw some of these tanks as contacts in the Iron Curtain.  That Abrams showed up near Ravaged Path this turn.  Fuligan's dudes shot that AGL team up. Ukrainian AGL teams have three men, so there is still one guy around there somewhere.

A few more things I noticed while doing my orders. They are moving a BTR out of Pewter City.  One of 1st Company's ATGM BTRs has no orders and was causing a traffic jam.  I noticed my scout team was crawling to their destination for some reason. Very suspicious.  I went back and watched the video to see what happened during the first half of the replay. You can just barely make out tracers coming from Mirage Island. I believe these jerks are the spotters for all those mortars firing at us.  While making my orders, I noticed none of the enemy casualties had support weapons and got suspicious. I loaded up a Ukrainian recon platoon to see what they looked like. Four three-man recon teams and a six-man HQ team with no support weapons among them. That is almost exactly what Yooper has been fighting.  Back during turn seven we can see a recon BRDM pulling off of Route 23 towards Ravaged Path. If the forces Yooper has been fighting are a recon platoon, then those RPGs firing at our BTRs belong to a fresh platoon. That means 2nd company is up against a mostly fresh Ukrainian company with a Bulat and Abrams in support. NastyToes fucked around with this message at 18:35 on Nov 20, 2016 |

2nd Company / 3rd Platoon  Have my BTRs lay down area fire where those RPGs fired from.  Move my scout into the woods for cover and change the destination to the trees at the T intersection.  Yellow is Quick, blue is Move, purple is Hunt, and red is Target. My men are to move up into contact with the enemy. 3/3 A Team should use a 30-second Target Briefly command and a 30-second Pause on its movement to suppress that enemy contact before moving up.  ATGM B Team needs to Deploy Weapon.   The Igla teams and platoon HQ should move Fast to mount their BTRs. Have them each Acquire an RPG-26 and one hundred 5.45mm rounds at the start of the second turn, then have the BTRs move Quick on the shown path.

Decoy Badger posted:Tank in the forest HUNT up to the treeline as depicted below: This tank is buttoned up. Might want to order it to unbutton for better spotting. Hubis posted:Enemy plan. I agree with this assessment of the enemy's likely plan of attack. However, I think 3rd Company's armor should be moved down to support 2nd company's armor. Those AT-7s we have on Mount Silver are largely ineffective against those two Abrams. We currently have three T-90s facing two Abrams and two Ukrainian tanks with an unknown number still remaining in The Iron Curtain.

More intel. That infantry we spotted in the south is an AT-7 team moving up. They probably intend to get LOS on Kev's tanks.  Many BTRs are coming down Ravaged Path. We really got a reaction out of them with our BTR push. I counted sixteen APC contacts, but there could be more sitting stationary and undetected.  That Oplot on Mount Silver has moved towards Ravaged Path. Can't really tell if it just moved behind the Abrams or if it drove through the treeline. The Abrams may also have moved too. That Oplot was on the edge of Kaz's 1st squad A-team's detection range.  If Kaz moves them forward about fifty meters, they may be able to see what those tanks are up to.  The ATGM that fired on our tank isn't far from the ATGM we dropped artillery on. It may be the same team.  We could move the tank up through the smoke and waste 'em before they can get a shot off.  Decoy's tank would have limited LOS on some parts of the road if it moves up just a bit.  Fuligin's 1st squad B-team has an RPG dude right next to a BTR. If you cancel the squad's move order he has a good chance of shooting it.  3rd squad A-team has an RPG-26 it can use on the other BTR overrunning Fuligin's men. There is also an RPG team right behind them that is ordered to run back into the woods. If you cancel their movement they might get a spot on the BTR and shoot it.

2nd Company / 3rd Platoon  I lost two men last turn to enemy ambushes, and someone fired an RPG at 3rd AGL BTR, so I know there are one or two enemy units within 15 meters of my men. 3rd squad A-team and 1st squad A-team should pause movement for one minute and target briefly as shown, then move on the suspected enemy positions. 3rd AGL BTR should target as shown. Everyone else should converge on the enemy position at move or quick as shown.  Change my BTR target orders to be in the area of the enemy contacts and move the middle BTR forward.

 Those units do have LOS over most of Mount Silver, they just can't see the ground because of the slope. If a tank moves up into those areas, then they should be able to spot it. The reason everything is placed in the center is because the LOS is much worse everywhere else.

2nd Company / 3rd Platoon / 4th Platoon I decided to split my orders into a bunch of separate pictures so it wouldn't be such a confusing mess.  First, cancel all movement for 3rd platoon's squads. Only these units should move up and suppress the enemy. Everyone else needs to rest.  The AGL BTRs should also move up and suppress the enemy.  3rd platoon BTRs should move up and target enemy contacts to cut them off from retreating any further.  The last man in 3rd squad A-team should move over to his dead buddy and pick up his grenade launcher.  Three MG teams and two AGL teams should move up to the treeline as shown and deploy weapons.  4th platoon HQ should pull back to join them at the treeline.  4th platoon's BTRs should reverse through the woods to safety.

More screenshots. An American contact appears heading from east to west toward the giant BTR party. Judging from its movement, it seems to have come from the town.  Yooper's last intact team has LoS on that BTR moving through the woods but doesn't have any AT weapons left.  Yooper himself is just 30m away from a BTR contact.  One of Decoy's tanks has its side facing the direction of the Abrams.  The AT-14 that was guarding the road is now chilling in the woods.   That ATGM hasn't moved and we have an AT-14 with LoS on it. One of our tanks can also area fire on its location, but last time it did that it got shot at by an ATGM in the town.

Just got around to looking at the save. The ATGM team at Mirage Island packed up and ran further into the woods. There are now four American APC contacts that came from the direction of the town. I'm wondering if they got reinforcements. It also looks like all of their tanks except the Bulat are moving toward The Iron Curtain.

2nd Company / 3rd Platoon / 4th Platoon  The AGL BTR that isn't immobilized should get on the road and drive over to those two AGL teams.  The crew member from my busted BTR should go on a suicide scout mission over the peak of Mount Silver.  The remaining air defense BTR is also going on a suicide scout mission. I'm hoping some ATGMs in the town expose themselves by firing on it as it crosses the road.  My poor scout needs to face toward the infantry contact that is approaching him. This dude is hosed, but maybe he can take a few with him.  2nd squad A-team should move up to finish off the last guy in that enemy squad.     All other teams should move toward friendly casualties to provide aid and scavenge AT weapons/ammo.

   Here is 2nd company. We have taken heavy losses and most of our AT rockets have been fired as part of target orders. Our BTRs have some older PG-7VL rockets that can be acquired if we have our troops mount up.  Even in death, my scout gives some useful intel. Those autocannon rounds that killed him came from the American IFVs, so those contacts are Bradleys, not Strykers. These contacts also came from the direction of the town, not from The Iron Curtain where all the other Americans are, leading me to believe they must be reinforcements. If I am right, there should be at least another two platoons of IFVs and an Abrams section/platoon somewhere out there. This is assuming they had the same choice to make regarding reinforcements that we did and chose the high-tech force.    The Abrams on Mount Silver and the Abrams and Oplot on Ravaged Path have all moved out of contact toward The Iron Curtain. Two BTRs follow them a bit later. The Bulat is still in the same spot it was in when it killed Yooper's hero scout a long time ago. Either they are leaving it behind as a deterrent, or it got bogged down and can't move. Another two BTRs have appeared moving toward my position and there is an infantry contact still in my area. The infantry is probably just what is left of the platoon I attacked but I'm in no condition to finish them.  Fray's dudes killed the poo poo out of that southern contact. There is one guy left in the circled area armed with an MG.  The AT-14 that was guarding the highway is still sitting in the woods. Not sure who has command of it. There is also an FO in the middle of town that could be moved up somewhere to call in missions or spot. Jaguars! posted:What do we know about enemy tank numbers at the moment? We have seen two Abrams, one Oplot, one Bulat, and one T-64 that we destroyed. We may have gotten sound contacts on other tanks moving around The Iron Curtain back around turn 15, but it's hard to tell if they were different contacts or the same tank being reported over again in a new spot. Either they have held a bunch of tanks in reserve, they suffered a bunch of immobilizations, or they never had many tanks to begin with. They did start with two Apache Longbows, each costing almost as much as three Abrams in points, so it's possible we had the advantage in armor all along.
