Added Space posted:Yeah, that's it, thank you. This will hopefully take advantage of the "suppressed units are automatically killed" rule. Suppressed companies are only automatically killed in close combat; any other kind of attack needs to roll well enough for a second suppression in order to kill it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppYgrdJ0pWk Day 3, Turn 24 1200 German initiative The 86th proceeds south.  Up north, the 54th receives its order change without issues; the 51st doesn't. They'd better hurry up with that!  With rain restricting Fathis Munk's hill spotting to 12 inches, he turns south.  Your guns roar as they drop indirect fire into the enemy's trenches. Then something else happens.  Well, poo poo. Once again, the 53rd is pretty sure that if there are any guns within 24" of them, they haven't opened fire. Day 3, Turn 25 1230 British initiative The 52nd enters Ferme Chatte.  The 86th lines up.  Your guns have rallied from suppression!  Kablammo!  The 54th is pretty sure that these are the offending guns.  Meanwhile, a pair of engineers wander blithely up to the wood.  Not pictured: you suppress both of them with mortar and MG fire. Day 3, Turn 26 1300 British initiative As for the 51st...  Nah, I'm just loving with you. That's where they started the turn; then they succeed on the change of orders roll and swing round.  The 86th is still clearing Ferme Chatte.  The enemy rearranges the wreckage of your guns.  One of the enemy's engineers rallies, and it makes a swift departure to the rear; you concentrate fire on the other one and finish it off.  Then. about 4.4" to the south, an enemy machine-gun opens up against the 53rd and prompts a frank exchange of views.  Day 3, Turn 27 1330 British initiative The 52nd continues through Ferme Chatte, and about here-ish, they find a spot that might have been occupied for an extended period of time by a single company. There's no entrenchments, and only a faint whiff of stale tea in the air.  The 54th gets moving to the south, the 51st coming up to the edge of the forest.  The 51st sees an engineer to the south-west, and it makes a hasty departure.  Another round of indirect fire rains down on your guns.  A machine-gun opens fire, but achieves nothing other than giving away its position; you're out of range and can't answer back. In the north-west of the forest, it seems that nobody is within spotting range, and nobody opens fire. Mid-update overview:  Day 3, Turn 28 1400 British initiative The 54th pushes as far forward as it's allowed, looking for a target.  Kaboom!  The 51st positively identifies the offending guns.  Well, you've now been knocked down to almost half strength. Which means a morale check is imminent. Which means...well, we know what that means.  Day 3, Turn 29 1430 British initiative The 52nd is quite sure that there are no more tea-drinkers in Ferme Chatte, and heads off to the front again.  Kaboom!  Shells land all round you. Hits? Not so many of those, on either side. Day 3, Turn 30 1500 British initiative The 51st pulls back.  The 54th tries to get back to its trenches also.  Good news; that one company took fire from the machine gun as it retreated and died; but the rest got away clear. About six enemy guns' worth of fire fell on them while they were still in the open, and it all failed to score a single suppression. Your own indirect missions went off as planned, by the way. Oh, bad news? Morale check time. Day 3, Turn 31 1530 British initiative Here's the result.  Success! Without even a suppressed retreat. Truly this is a historic day. Maybe you don't really *need* a veteran division... End of update:  The rain is getting harder. There is a chance that open-field spotting may be restricted to 8 inches (16 inches for units that fire) before nightfall. Next deadline: Monday 10 April, 5pm. Busy weekend. Busy in general, actually. Still got time to run turns, just about.

The game is on suspension until next week, at least; I'm just too busy at the moment to run turns.
