At the moment I think we play it cautious and see what they do next. For discussion:  We consolidate west of the forest, and put a hold on indirect fire. Loel fucked around with this message at 03:24 on Apr 6, 2017 |

Im thinking maybe they were doing a "bite and hold"? Get the center finger trenches, advance from there? I wonder if they abandoned Effyaders.

Bwahahaha, my absurdly optimistic orders came through Not seeing any major changes. Shuffle the trenches a bit, consult the precogs, use arty IDF if you can make a convincing case. We're mostly waiting for them to put their arm in the woodchipper. Also, plz put in requests for where you want the reinforcing brigades, and what trenches you have for them.

I believe this round. K, since we have a bit of breathing space (next update Monday), I wanted to get some paperwork knocked out. Staff What are our units? What brigades are still existing, and where are they? What casualties are they at? What is their fatigue level? Are there any units we need to prioritize for pulling out of the front line? What is our artillery ammo situation? Where are we getting reinforcements, and how fast can they reach the front line? Officers What is our current order of battle? Who are the division commanders, and of what assets? Please include the new division as well. Do we need to consolidate any commands? Do any officers want to trade posts with Staff? Division commanders, do we need to rearrange which brigades are answering to which general? I know we've been throwing units at fires as needed, but the front line seems to be stabilizing. Lets formalize some commands with it. edit: Courtesy of Prof Curly:  New deployment for discussion:  Sixkiller point one Slim Jim point two Arquiensel point three ProfCurly gets more arty in the trenches  Combined map General Directive Secure the line, details being developed in chat.

The exact placement Im leaving to the division commanders, but I do think this is a strong opening. Get troops on the line, anticipate any enemy attacks, and prepare for our own assault.

Operation: Boil-Boche This plan is predicated on the idea that there are no major changes in enemy activity this round. Primary target is the eastern trenches of Effyaders. Assets allocated: sixkiller, xthetenth, mydad Fire support: professorcurly, lenoon Conditional support: slimjim This gives us 53 infantry, 4 MG in the primary assault 12x 18 lb and 4x 60 lb in fire support 20 infantry and 1 MG in the reserve force It is my belief that this force can retake Effyanders before enemy reinforcements can support the target trenches.

Based on conversations in chat: We can assume that these are the last substantial reinforcements. We know that theyve scattered at least two brigades to hunt for our wirecutters. Their line is therefore thin, and we have a moment to take advantage. If we dont commit to an attack, the current lines will probably remain as is. This will probably be a tie. Therefore, if we commit now and Im right, we have a major success. If Im wrong, we will lose a lot of troops. And if we dont commit, we are probably getting a tie. Based on my logic (theyve thinned their lines to find wirecutters / their reinforcements wont get there in time) how likely do you think it is we can break them?

Refuge in Audacity I have found in Mon Pere's things a small collection of papers, describing his thoughts on the war thus far. I have collected them in what I believe was the intended order, as well as adding a few small notes of my own. It is my hope that my efforts help the war effort, and perhaps immortalize his voice as I knew it. -Pere Loel Elan vital The moral is to the physical as three to one. - Napoleon  The strength of the Boche is his clockwork focus on the task at hand - a clattering, clanking mind that focuses solely on the objective. It is a mind of clocks and gears, and when left uninterrupted, it can achieve great things. Consider Clausewitz's creation of the General Staff, and their ability to prepare for war.  However, like a clock, it is easily interrupted, and when interrupted, prone to shattering. In this first battle of Pastuer Ridge, an entire division of Boche was surprised and annihilated. This must always be remembered - to win the battlefield, the Boche must be interrupted, surprised, and overcome by Elan Vital.  Napoleon noted that moral was 3:1, but not 3:0. It was this unfortunate incident that ended our Mon Pere in his prime. - Pere Loel  I will say, however, that I took his advice into consideration when I assumed command. The first task was to interrupt their tempo, throw sand in their gears - and placing units outside Stethoscope disrupted their timetables. Indeed, that resulted the disorientation we observed later. - Pere Loel One additional note I would like to add - the Boche are almost mindlessly focused on their timetables, and can endure great hardship when following them. However, when they are conclusively interrupted, their morale shatters and breaks. They are brittle. Our armies, by contrast, are like water - fickle, emotional, and powerful. We are the flooding river. - Pere Loel Deception    The Decisive Point These pages are only sketches

lenoon posted:Back from holiday all. Orders in for this round (thank you!) so let's see what survives a no doubt crippling hail of counterbattery for next time! Lenoon, when you have time, tell me how arty could do a rolling bombard of Effyaders before infantry moves East  Something like this. Half arty on enemy trenches, half arty rolling and followed by infantry.
