I have a infantry platoon that has deployed to assault the north side of the Abby. I hope that HMG we have can view the WIDE OPEN GROUND they need to cross. F Company, 2nd platoon  Two of the units (not the platoon HQ) should area target the forest with the BLUE lines. The non-firing units need to be looking in the same direction. If we have a mortar unit available, please put a strike on the YELLOW line. Fast as you can, as much as you can, for a brief time period.

My platoon's going to scatter out of the immediate line of fire, and try to take up positions where they can fire back at the incoming Germans.

So long as my guys are not being shot at by armoured units, I'll keep my guys where they are. If armored units shoot at them, move to a position they can't be. Q- can they get infantry to climb or blow the walls open of the Abby, or do they have to go around the long way?

HE rounds or breaching charges can take the wall out IIRC, otherwise they have to go the long way around. Notice that there's a pretty open break in the wall where the stream runs, though.

*orders: Brrap brrap pew pew* General Orders: apparently pixelmans in this game only return fire if they can make out the unit patches on the people firing on them. Therefore, America expects each commander to pick at least one area target order, because it's the only way to get us to return fire/apply suppressing fire. Gay Hitler: Welp, ouch. Do your best to get whoever survived into a position to recover morale for a bit. If you can, area target orders towards tanks will be much appreciated. Generation Internet: freaking LoS. Well, that was unexpected. At least the AT gun survives. You need to A. Get that gun to a place to at least recover, and then consider how to get it to a place to engage StuG's. Ideally, we'd coordinate with the Shermans to open fire. I guess do your best to check out which areas have random LoS to german positions in the north. And B: Meanwhile, your .50 needs to decide which direction to provide suppressing fire. To the north, you may be able to get German infantry to put their heads down, or even German tanks to button up. But beware the temple guards in the Shrine of the Silver Monkey! To the south, your fire could well defeat a German attempt to push into the forest east of the Abbey, and encourage them to step into the wire and mines. Knock out three German squads to open the door to the Observatory! You may wish to write your orders to depend on whether the Germans in the North and/or South make a push, or if both do at once. The choices are yours, and yours alone. :Acebuckeye: Ok, let's get some area fires on the German tanks, get them to button up. Secondary to that is contributing fire at the German base of fire in the north hedge, with the tanks and the mortars. Ponder whether your happy with where your squads are right now, because it's likely only gonna get harder to move them in subsequent turns. :Bacarruda: :frogin: choose your area targets. The panzers are likely your biggest threat, so I'd like you to engage the panzers in the north. Remember that you can decline engagement by means of smoke rounds (and fling burning death at infantry). Acebuckeye's map in discord illustrates this point. Do your best to maximize your local numerical advantage in each engagement. Remember also that you can engage at least one StuG, which also means at least one StuG can engage you. Don't leave yourself in a position to be engaged by more than one target at a time. :Comstar: Area target is now your friend. Do your best to keep your squads away from the boomenhalftracks, but otherwise maximize the number of bullets hitting the Germans trying to push in your sector. [b]Hypnobeard: I'm not sure your position is tenable with German armor in your sector. Your call whether to stick around and fling hate at infantry and keep bazooka's shooting at armor targets or to smoke and retreat. If you continue to engage, make use of area target orders on the infantry, and ponder how vulnerable their position is w.r.t. German armor pouring HE hate on them. On the other hand, if you retreat, do your best to throw smoke first and then retreat south towards the abbey wall. Goonspeed, American Goons.

I have already thrown a little bit of smoke, but basically I'm just going to bug the hell out and try to regroup back at the Abbey. I think that's going to be more effective than trying to pop the smoke which is essentially a crapshoot from what I can see. This will probably bite me in the rear end, but c'est la guerre. 1st Platoon, F Company  HQ element No change. 1st squad Scout section: QUICK to position shown. Rest of squad: No change. 2nd squad AT section: QUICK to indicated position. Join up with rest of squad. Squad: QUICK to indicated position. Join with AT section.

Orders Shift fire as follows, both are targeting deployed German HMGs   Cease fire with the mortars, two still have about ~10 rounds each Try and deploy the 57 but it's also likely dead as there's something tankish shooting repeatedly at it

F Company, 2nd platoon The scouts to the north should FACE the GREEN line. The other squads should split their fire to AREA FIRE in the RED and GREEN box. I can't tell who can see what so split it as best you can. If they have direct LOS on enemy infantry in the forests, shoot them instead.

eeehhhhhhhhhhh, I'm not a fan. I guess my main thought is that we should be working to concentrate the fire of the tanks as much as possible, to isolate German armor targets, and have a plan for each turn. My fear is that with these orders, Tank 1 ends up exposing itself to 1-2 Panzer IVs for the sole sake of killing a handful of infantry with no support from 2 or 3, and that 3 especially has very limited lines of sight from where it's being ordered to move to.

Reinforcements on deck! The weather has begun to clear, and you faintly hear what must be aircraft in the distance... Your forward observers inform you that close air support should begin arriving over the rest of the morning. At 0:55:00, you get one P-51 Mustang, with a light bomb loadout. You may direct it using your FO team.

F Company, 2nd platoon Two of the squads who are on the NORTH side of the Abby complex need to MOVE to the RED and PURPLE buildings, 2nd floor, and face NORTH EAST towards the enemy infantry. The XO squad getting SHELLED should RUN to the GROUND FLOOR and face WEST towards the enemy, Other squads CONTINUE to AREA FIRE the GREEN and YELLOW FORESTS. If they have LOS on enemy INFANTRY or ARMOUR (if they have a BAZOOKA), TARGET them instead. Comstar fucked around with this message at 13:36 on Feb 26, 2019 |

Comstar posted:F Company, 2nd platoon For reference, that's the south side of the Abbey, and that's my squad and HQ element. But sure, why not? F Company, 1st platoon HQ element stay put. Squad in Abbey: A section move to ground floor, then over to the red building to the 3rd floor. Area fire on woods south of Abbey and troops coming in on HW2. B section repeat, but move to 2nd floor in red building. Unit furthest south in the woods: Area fire on the woods to the south opposite the Abbey entrance. Unit north of that: Move into the 1-story building at the Abbey entrance, face toward the south, area fire on the units coming up HW2. Unit in the woods to the east: Move toward the Abbey entrance (so generally north east), fire at units as you can.
