1. The best laid plans
The objectives of this first battle are:
a) A farmhouse-codenamed Neeps
b) A small hamlet - Tatties
I have,to get the job done,4 platoons of infantry,with two additional ones coming as reinforcements,supported by 2 Churchills and a 88mm arty battery.
The plan is to advance with 2 platoons + the armor on the right,towards objective neeps, with the other 2 platoons on the left,deployed behind some bocage to engage and hold in place the enemy forces found on my left while my right force maneuvers. Once neeps is secured,the right group and the reinforcements i'll get will swing towards tatties. A pre-planned arty strike is set to arrive after 10 minutes on a position which i'll suspect will be heavily defended.
