Setup:
(hirr)Leto Wrote:Setup? Are you kidding? Have you seen the size of my ELO??? I don't have to worry about setting up my stinking forces, I'm just that good. I just plunk my dudes down wherever, it really doesn't matter. I mean, I am playing the Coil here. No sense wasting a bunch of time on the set up. By the way, have I mentioned how huge my ELO is?
Well, that, and the gamey map you picked with the road straight into the village, Mr. Leto...
Here's what it looks like from my side:
Dang road runs right into the heart of the village. If Leto uses it, he'll get there first. The good news is, I've got some decent sight lines into the village, and even behind it, I might be able to hit him going in if he tries the charge up the road.
Also, there's a slight ridge running across most of the left side of the map a bit behind the village. This is very good news for me - Leto won't be able to set up guns in the back with LOS to my half of the map. I look for him to try to tow some guns into patches of woods on the back side of the ridge and push them through, so I'm paying attention to likely patches of woods.
The basic setup is:
The 5 Panzers on the road on the left, 3 are going to make a dash up the road, and try to flank the village. Other two have LOS to the road into the village. They'll take potshots at anything coming in.
Stugs go in the middle, they'll head up to the village, mounting 2 inf squads and an HQ. They're backed by 3 of the Grilles with LOS into the village, the last Grille is at the back on my left.
One platoon of inf goes into the big patch of pines on the center-right. They'll work their way through it to the right flank of the village. An HQ, a mortar, and the cracker sniper go far left to watch the flank of my panzer platoon.
Two AA guns go where they can each watch a flank, the one on the left also has decent LOS down the road. An improvised inf platoon also goes for the scattered cover in the middle left.
I don't have anything on the right third of the map, if Leto wants to flank there, he'll have a long way to go, over damp ground. Should be able to spot and adjust if he tries it.
