Yeah, shoving a bunch of cav down Dej way seems like a good idea. Right now, our one advantage down there lies in fire superiority in terms of arty and MGs. That would be lost come nightfall, and the Brits would be able to overwhelm us piecemeal. So I'd say our best bet would be in containing or outright shattering the BEF right away.

78th Brigade Orders - 1700 Infantry and MGs If the BEF or another enemy force moves westwards towards either Quatreprouts or the area south of Dejeuner Ridge (see pink line), the formation is to shift around the ridge towards the southwest. If they don't have anything to shoot at, the MGs are to maneuver in such a way that they get a field of fire on the passing enemies for as long as possible. If the enemy comes directly for Dejeuner Ridge, the infantry is to interpose themselves in such a way that the enemy does not have a clear run at the artillery. Under no circumstances should these movements mask the artillery's field of fire. Artillery 10cms: MAKE. IT. RAIN. 15cms: Move one more turn's worth of movement south, staying on the upper level of the ridge, and then unlimber and go loud. If they already have moved by the time these orders reach them and the enemy is in range (or about to come into range), just unlimber them where they are. Standing Oders When sighting an enemy in attack stance, keep moving along original path When attacking the enemy, use rifle fire When an enemy company Breaks Off or Retreats Suppressed, hold position Break off automatically never - fight to the last man Perestroika fucked around with this message at 12:35 on Feb 27, 2017 |

Tevery Best posted:Will these orders mean your MGs will not move while they can still engage? Because I am somewhat iffy on having them run around right now. The default behaviour of MGs is to not move and start shooting any time something is in range, so that's what I'm working off of.

Crazycryodude posted:Ooo, I rather like this little shuffle. They see HEGEL vacating the trenches, then they DON'T see them getting refilled. I hope they try an attack so we can read all the wonderful confusion once this is over. Editing the old post should be fine as long as it's marked as a proper orders post. Put a link to it in the sheet to make Trin's life easier.

The whole thing was basically classic WWI.txt. A localised but decent breakthrough is forced at one section of the front, but the strategic mobility and CnC to capitalise and reinforce that success is simply not available. As such the spearheading elements are either forced to retreat or defeated in detail. We simply role-played appropriately to the period

aphid_licker posted:Goodbye Horses. I'm gonna have that pic of Mon Pere sitting out with his rear end hanging in the wind in front of two and a half emplaced brigades fuckin framed. Did we seriously look quite so dead that he thought he'd only have to walk into the town? I guess maybe they didn't count on us already having called in reinforcements from the very beginning. So from their point of view, they killed most of a division up top, two brigades down near Q, and saw two brigades defending our eastern flank, which would account for all of our initial forces. It probably looked to them like 76th and 78th had been all the forces we had defending StC, and with them out of the way the road there looked clear enough for a hail-mary charge like the one we'd made to Q.
