The Coil steals Leto's playbook, puts a hirrting on him...(No peeking Leto's, please)

[The Coil]

Force Selection:

I expect The Coil to make some ham-handed noob picks, like bringing a platoon of Tigers or something. They shall probably all get stuck in the mud before they make it to the fight. At any rate, I’m bringing a bunch of guns and a platoon of M10s that should make short work of his armor given the flat land and open site lines. He’ll never know what hit ‘em. Ordinarily, I’m not one to rush the flags, but given that I’ve cherry-picked a map that’s guaranteed to get me to the flags first, I’m switching it up a bit this time.

Leto is expecting me to go for big tanks, and try to fight at range. He’s probably counting on his combo of guns and some AFVs to be able to kill (or at least m-kill or gun damage) a few big tanks and put me out of action. I also don’t like the idea of driving Tigers or something around in the rain.
At the same time, I’m a big fan of armor in a battle like this. If you don’t win the armor war, infantry isn’t going to win you the game (I realize a lot of players much better than me are big believers in infantry dominance. They are all fools. They keep beating me because of luck, not because of my utter lack of strategic and tactical acumen. Trust me.) Hoping the sheer amount of armor will overwhelm Leto. Accordingly, I’m bringing a vet platoon of panzer IVH’s, a platoon of green Stugs (made me feel dirty buying them, but there you go), and a platoon of reg Grilles (to blow Leto’s infantry hordes away). Along with that comes one of them companies of recon FJs with 2 MGs, a sharpshooter, a few 81mm mortars, 2 20mm AA guns (to protect flanks and deal with light armor), and an AC. My plan is pretty straightforward: dominate whatever armor he brings (probably no more than a platoon of Shermans and one of M10s), and nuke his infantry with HE the rest of the game. Simple.
