16 is a good number, I'll take it!

Both plans seem sound enough, but as some others have mentioned I'm a bit leery about the fact that they make some hard assumptions both regarding from where the French will be deploying, and what objectives they will pursue. If they are aggressively inclined they could possibly get guns onto that north-western hill, which could be a thorn in our flank. Just something to be prepared for in my opinion, I'm never willing to underestimate the hubris of Frenchmen.

16th brigade will join column 2. It's probably better to wait for Trin's updated guide before I go more into specifics, unless there is something division command needs to know right now? NastyToes, what do you say we simply split up the column's divisional assets equitably between us?

*Very* preliminary plan for 16th Brigade. 16th Brigade will move out using the road through Nainville, moving out after any forces that are to be active in the battle for Croissant. Meanwhile, cavalry scouts will deploy to Baguende using the shortest possible route. The brigade will then form up in line of battle in Bois du Baguette, pointing as many guns as possible towards the enemy. Having considered it further I'd be quite willing to relinquish command of the artillery assets to divisional command, to help us get an edge in the initial engagement. I'm a bit fuzzy on the scale and size of units here, how much of Bois de Baguette will my brigade cover in a standard formation? I'll want to coordinate further with NastyToes so we don't crowd each other too much. Any glaring issues with the basic ideas here, before I start thinking too hard about the finer points?

16th Bde, 19th Div 16th Brigade will move out using the road through Nainville, moving out after any forces that are to be active in the battle for Croissant. Meanwhile, cavalry scouts will deploy to Baguende using the shortest possible route. The brigade will then form up in line of battle in Bois du Baguette, pointing as many guns as possible towards the enemy. The brigade will form up in defensive stance according to the diagram below, in such a way that the front is aligned with the southern edge of the forest.  Artillery assets will form up at the indicated position to provide fire support for the seizure of Croissant. Standing orders: When sighting an enemy on Attack stance: Keep moving along original path Break Off automatically when 2/3 casualties are taken Covski fucked around with this message at 13:20 on Feb 16, 2017 |

Ah, duh. I have paint.net, I just didn't consider getting the unit icons from any place other than the .psd I had no way of opening.  I'll get it done and edit it into my previous orders post before the deadline. Thanks!

Just to make it official: Turns out I have less free time then I thought I would when first joining the glorious German side, so I'll be bowing out of this at least temporarily. I'll remain exclusively in this thread in case my schedule opens up and there is need of even more German commanders in the future (seems unlikely, the war will be over in time for dinner). Fight well, comrades! I'll be watching from the sidelines!
