Why hadn't Perestroika's infantry moved to screen for the guns? He ordered that.

All right. Here is what we do. HEY GAIL stops immediately, right there, right now. A reinforcement brigade is about to enter the map. It will join her. We must schedule its movement to enter the area ca. around STC around the same time as The Sandman, who will be moving to assist as well. There are two things that can happen: either the French push us and we extract a blood toll out of them, or they push at Q. The former will be a misplay on their end. The latter will take them a few turns at least and let us regroup to take the hill once again. Comments, questions, suggestions?

The last time they had to pop up anywhere on our phone map, so we may pick any place on the northern edge of the map. I was going to bring them up at Veine, incidentally. We do need a commander for them! Speak up if you want it, people! As for whether or not they can entrench there: it is true they can, which is why I am not suggesting we wait until morning! Either they will dig in there - and lose, since the runner is about to get to STC in the next two turns - or they will attack either STC or Q. This is why I am suggesting we gather forces around STC and then push onto Dej - they will either be coming to greet us by then and the advance will not be necessary, or the hill will be at least half empty as they rush to overwhelm Cryo (not a done deal by any stretch of the imagination! - they cannot fire into town with their artillery).

The point is: it will either not be an attack because there will be no-one on the hill, or it will not be an attack because they will be gunning for where we are right now.

steinrokkan posted:So this is what I have been talking about, now as a dumb picture: I think we are all in agreement that this is the best course of action, and this is the one we are going to follow. Here's hoping the storm comes at us, rather than the heroic defenders of Q. What do you guys think our reinforcements should be?

Right, get the orders in. You've seen the plan, the new brigade will be the one with artillery in it, it will come in from the north, near Veine. If anyone wants to command it, speak up right now! It will be attached to the 19th Division.

aphid_licker posted:I've written about our problems before but I don't think we did that much wrong. We made two mistakes, too ambitious and badly structured initial advance and, uh, too ambitious and badly structured second advance. Short advance in battle order, take up defensive stance, appraise the situation, slowly evolve the position a bde or two at at time would have been smarter. Getting local superiority and hitting an opportune enemy formation, or hunkering down and letting them attack our emplaced formations would also have been more useful throughout than drawing long arrows halfway across the map, closing our eyes, and yelling banzaiii. I don't think either of these is true, but the time for post mortems is not here yet in any event.

The Sandman posted:Just putting things in perspective here: if I've done the math right, we can only lose 18 more chits before we hit our current loss threshold and 22 before we hit our final post-reinforcement loss threshold. Cryo's brigade will account for twelve of those chits by itself when it's destroyed or routed off the field. Alternatively, mine will account for twelve chits when it's destroyed. If they kill both of our brigades, that's game. Number of times The Sandman has called for surrender so far this game: 3 at least by last count, unless we count specific lines, in which case it will probably go into double digits Number of times the rest of the team combined has done so: 0 EDIT: I realise this is passive-aggressive as gently caress and I apologise, but please stop calling for us to throw in the towel, because we are not going to do that.

Jaguars! posted:With no Casualties and hardly any daylight turns to worry about, we should at least make an attempt to recapture Q. Send the two healthy brigades there, have the small ones come in to defend St C, we don't need to defend the Bouclecourt road anymore bacause the Gooneville road is still a functioning line of communication. I agree. But two brigades will not be enough. If we are indeed going to go big, we need to push with almost everything we've got. Let's make a plan for it. Go through the woods, jump out and peekaboo those motherfuckers.

The defence plan is, I think, solid. Stein, aphid, please issue orders to see it fulfilled, with both of you exercising full discretion over it. My internet is acting up and I will be of limited use in helping you plan, unfortunately. If you see me, feel free to ask, but I can't promise I'll be able to appear on call.

Trin, can we get a broader picture of our current deployments? I realise we can't see jack, but it would be sort of handy to have. EDIT: also, can you tell us which phone lines from STC are currently usable? The road layout in the west makes it sort of confusing in light of the French movements in that area. EDIT2: also, at what time will there be light? Tevery Best fucked around with this message at 12:26 on Mar 4, 2017 |

I am worried about an enemy flank from the north, via Bois de Gooneville. Can we do something about it?

True, but all it would take would be one brigade, maybe two to gently caress us up beyond our capacity to defend the town. And they've already had 8 turns to do it.

Maybe extend Hegel's line a little bit to cover Bois, at least with a tripwire picket line?

I just realised something! We can use Jaguars!'s engineers to dig jump-off trenches. That way, if we want to, we can attack in the morning from a much better position (and dissuade the French from pushing against us when they see the "hellfortress" in front of them). What do you guys think? If you're in favour, we should get into Roll20 and draw some lines for them.

I wonder how the victory/loss breakdown will shake out. I suppose it will in the end be something like a minor French victory, depending on how many reinforcements they called in.

We won? lol So glad for this to finally be over (not because it wasn't fun, but because it turns out I do not take stress well). I had like a dozen posts I wanted to send to the French, but never did because I do not do good under pressure. I'll write out a post mortem later today. EDIT: is the French thread open as well?

Hey guys, I brought presents!     I want to make these for the rest of the thread, but I'm out of ideas after providing for all the people who played in the previous round. If you have a nickname or a motto for your brigade, let me know! If you have a complaint to file, also let me know.

I've changed my mind and decided cavalry should have top priority, followed by requests. Infantry will get theirs when we are closer to them arriving on the field.

Pardon the interruption:  I think this should be all the combat officers (bar whoever takes over for Hegel) - if I missed someone, or if there's a staff officer who wants a banner for some reason, let me know.

And also which unit(s) those were, since I have no idea. (I do have PMs now, so if he needs to contact me behind the scenes with it, it should be a bunch easier.)
