We need to try and break the Boche control strip they have that basically runs from the north east to south west corner or we lose.

These are the two possible plans the Germans may have. 1. Shift everything to the left. As in the brigade in Saint Croissant goes to La Oeuf and every other brigade shifts in to cover them. 2. All out push on the East front in the hope of breaking our army before we break theirs.

97th Brigade Everything but the machine gun charge up the hill and kill any Boche who seek to claim the hill. Priority goes to targeting artillery if possible.   Machine gun is to provide covering fire for the Brigade Conditional Orders Once hill is clear of the enemy then the brigade is to assume this formation whilst the machine gun moves up to offer support.  If the enemy is sighted in attack stance then they are to hold unless they have artillery If the enemy has artillery then the brigade is to fall back behind the crest of La Ouef and then hold out.

I think we need to set conditionals around killing the runner. As in if he is still alive then we press on forward and try to kill enough Boche so that they flee before enemy reinforcements can come.

sullat posted:I suspect the Germans may try an night attack in the east to neutralize the advantages of our guns. I certainly hope so, since they may not be aware of how we have reinforced the lines, but we should remember that when our guys start shooting, the enemy artillery will somehow sense which flashes of light are ours and zero in on them. They don't have much artillery left as Roland has already seen to almost all of their big guns.

The more Boche causalities we can achieve whilst they are out of position the closer we come to winning.

The total number of chits we have commanded is 242 by my count. Meaning we have lost 54% of our total force and that if we were to lose 47/8 more chits then we lose.

At this point we just adopt a creeping bombardment and kill everything outside of Saint Croissant. We have more artillery pieces on one flank then they have in their entire army.

I will volunteer for Engineer Commander position. This role will help stop me from developing tunnel vision whilst also allowing me to help set up and support our forces and the battle as a whole as the engagement develops.

Here are some general thoughts on the usage of Engineers: Trenches: Going by last game they will be visible to the enemy the moment they go up. Using this I argue we create dummy trenches to make the Germans guess where our entrenched defenses are and hopefully allow us to pinpoint where they will have parked their artillery. Barbed Wire and Road Blocks: With proper timing we can use them to seal off retreat points so that the enemy pursuit of our cars is slowed down. Cavalry engineers: Active defense as in setting up road blocks and barbed wire to slow down the Boche. Infantry engineers: Setting up our static defense while providing supplies for the Cavalry engineers.

Here is a rough timetable for what my mounted engineers can achieve. Roadblock both roads in Stethoscopes: 12 turns Barbed wire the entrance to Stethoscopes: 14 turns Roadblock m1: 11 turns Barbed wire m2: 13 turns Barbed wire m3: 13 turns Roadblock m4: 9 turns Barbed wire m5: 11 turns Barbed wire m6: 11 turns Roadblock m7: 8 turns

Loel posted:Excellent. Youll probably want to think along the lines of starting at Stethescope and going west (route to be determined) I am all for aggressive thinking, but I think my engineers can help set up a more aggressive push without going to Stethescope. The more wire and road blocks I set up the more we can funnel them up. For example by setting up a road block on m4 and then putting our artillery behind it, anything hoping to push aggressively into our center will be slowed down enough for our guns to force them back. Edit: I haven't had to worry about a traveling salesmen problem in forever.
