 Major-General Sir Theodore Bedford-Kant KBE, GC, MC, DSO  Right, here is baby's first map for the Infantry. In lovely primary colours I have indicated the initial proposed routes for the brigades to take to their operation areas of responsibility. As the battlefield may change dramatically before we arrive, this is more in the way of a conversation piece than actual tactical planning. thatbastardken fucked around with this message at 01:49 on Mar 9, 2017 |

Terrifying Effigies posted:One thing to note is that the distance between Foret Effyaders and Bois de Blob is about equal to machinegun range, so units hiding in the woods on either can fire clear across if anything tries marching down the road. May be something to keep in mind for 21 Bde's deployment since indirect artillery and spotter planes will make it dangerous for units to set up in the open. They can still cover the M5 road from Effyaders while being hidden from observation. Noted, but in the optimistic spirit of the start of the game I primarily want my division to be able to move forward without a traffic jam. With the high number of infantry chits these brigades are well suited to offensive action, and if the cavalry phase has gone well (touch wood) a rapid advance will be key to securing those gains.

my dad posted:Roll20 is currently discussing the historicity of units. I'm surprised that even the French marines that will arrive are based on the Fusilers Marins that were quite real, and our division compositions are also based closely on real units. allegedly

Secondary map for infantry brigadiers to consider: Areas of Responsibility! This is an extremely rough sketch of the parts of the map your brigades will need to control depending on the flow of battle. It is NOT a comprehensive set of directions on chit deployment! Division HQ will for preference occupy the middle road to allow for easier communication with all brigades. I acknowledge that this does put HQ at risk if the enemy break through, and it is subject to change as we approach the battlefield.

can our troops advance through our own wire? I think this got answered once before, but do not recall.

After looking again I'm cautiously in favor - the nature of the AC brigade seems like it will reward high risk tactical thinking. Of course, if it goes wrong there's nothing my division can do to support you.

If the engineers find themselves with time on their hands some pre-prepared trenches for the PBI to use as jumping off points might not go astray. Like so:  Other than that 7th has no further requests. Best of luck, gentlemen. Brigadiers report in within 24 hours or face dismissal. thatbastardken fucked around with this message at 14:44 on Mar 9, 2017 |

I'm not sold on putting gunpits in the depression - I'd prefer that time be spent on putting some entrenchments across the road closer to the ford. Unless that's going to be a major problem for the AC brigade, or expose the engineers to to much fire

Vincent Van Goatse posted:EDIT: If it's possible to assign targeting priorities for Red ACs, I'd recommend trying to concentrate on suppressing the arse hortillery. Priorities are set by unit type - MGs target (I think) MGs, Infantry, Artillery in that order.

I unbookmarked this thread before checking to see if I was going to have to stop reading it and I guess that was completely unnecessary? Hopefully the war will come back in it's own good time.
