Battle Report #2

[Chief Looking Glass]

Hello,

This is a another battle report for a battle that is currently taking place between rampant and I






Here I outline the initial advance.

I split my force into three groups

Infantry, Tanks, Weapons crews and officers

The infantry are to take the left side of the field en mass. I want to establish a zone from where I use the cover most effectively while inserting engineers, pioneers and officers into the closest buildings on the perimeter of the town. I will fix on positions withing the town while figuring out a couple of different approaches.

You can see where I have parked my armor to idle until threats present themselves. Able to go right forward or left i want travel time to hot spots to be balanced and clear of obstacles.

The weapons crews consist of three machine guns and 5 mortars and their accompaniment. I want to scatter them length wise along a natural ridge in the landscape. I have highlight the positions in yellow and brown.

this maneuver is dangerous as it leaves my infantry without suppression fire, and it leave my crews exposed with little to no AT. The tanks in the middle are to relieve either side if needed but if my opponent crashes this side with any armor at all... it will get ugly.

On the other hand if I can establish a good line and remain un bothered I can wait to see what positions the germans take up in town. I will skirmish my officers up into the outlining buildings to try and fix positions and pick off entire teams with the mortars. I also hope if things work out to be able to find good spots for my machine guns to create crossfires on moving infantry through the town.

The idea for now is to create a big right angle.
