[EuchreJack]

I guess I'll have to do that, as Myshiny woods are north of the deployment zone.  So put me in the tiny bit of forests north of the river but still in the deployment zone and advance towards Myshiny Woods under cover of trees.  If we spot mortars or artillery, attack!

[Char13magne]

This is what I have;

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Warhammer651 (Medium mortar and observers (recon) 2+11): I'll deploy my mortar on top of Borodinsky Hill, position my observers on the northern edge Kapivny Wood.
Burntpies (Heavy Mg Squad 12): We'll deploy on Borodinsky hill itself, amongst the trees, I think.
Stabbymcstabstab (Infantry 5): Put my Guys near the road in the woods, in case of flankers.
A1s (Infantry 6): I deploy my unit on the edge of the woods to the north-east of Taldy-Kurgan (Cerkovny Wood, I guess). Facing: north, formation: tight (as long as the wooded part east of the road).
Azkul (Infantry 7): Deploy loosely on Hill 196, facing north-east (bearing around 030)
Scelly9 (Infantry 8 ): I'll deploy just left and above the red circle, along the road.
Monkeyhead (Two Anti-tank Rifles 3+4): Deploy in the most north easterly house of Taldy-Kurgan, supporting Scelly9's infantry. Recommend Artillery fire is concentrated on Krapivny Wood.
EuchreJack (Infantry 9): So put me in the tiny bit of forests north of the river but still in the deployment zone and advance towards Myshiny Woods under cover of trees.  If we spot mortars or artillery, attack!
Elfeater (Infantry 10): Deploy a few meters in front of the mortar so it won’t get overrun.

I will now do the deployment and first few minutes until there is contact with the enemy, and then let you guys take another turn.

Squad 9-EuchreJack



Anxious for combat, EuchreJack raises his revolver in a sweeping motion, before jumping up and running ahead of his men into the woods of Zhavoronkov. His men look questioningly at one another, before finally climbing up to follow him forwards; to death or glory.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Having arrived safely in Zhavoronkov woods, Euchrejack's sergeant, Mizin, breathing heavily from his run, warns the him against continuing into Myshiny. Disregarding his sergeant's advice, Eachrejack once again spurs his men from a state of rest as he begins to run ahead towards Myshiny.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

As Euchrejack is preparing to move, a shot rings out in the forest. He looks to his side to see private Petrenkov firing his rifle wildly at the hill before him. Raising his voice to be heard against the noise of what is now his entire squad discharging their weapons northwards, he screams for a report from Mizin. Mizin responds with a terse "I saw a Jerry" before returning to his PPSh.

After a few seconds of firing, EuchreJack begins to hear a low roar, approaching and growing louder every second. He turns to see the monstrous shape of a German half-track approaching across the field on his right flank, spraying a deadly stream of flashing fire from its pintle mounted machine-gun.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Cocking back the bolt on his DP-27, Tupolev depresses the trigger and let's loose a stream of death into the field before him. Looking up for a moment to scan for the results of his effort, he sees the corpse of a German soldier, laying motionless, around 30 metres away. Looking in disgust at his work, Tupolev stops for a moment to retch quietly before returning to his machine-gun.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Private Barkov rises, laden with a bandolier of Machine-gun ammunition for Private Tupolev. Running to him, he is suddenly struck by a German bullet. He falls to his knees, coughing blood. Remembering his mission, he rises once again, this time stumbling, as he makes his way slowly to the machine-gun. Falling as he moves, he stops for a moment to rest his arm against a tree, when a flash of red sprouts from his chest and he is propelled into the tree. He falls, leaning his weight against the trunk of the tree. As his life's blood slowly seeps from the many wounds dotting his chest, he falls into a deep, peaceful sleep, never to awake.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

EuchreJack begins to realize that he is being surrounded, and starts to call his men into an organized retreat to avoid being trapped.

Meanwhile, Scelly9 sees the distant bursts of flame from enemy fire going into Zhavoronkov Wood, and questions whether he should leave his position to better support EuchreJack.

Location of current engagement (And of EuchreJack's squad, everyone else is still in their starting position)

Results of first turn:
1 confirmed kill by EuchreJack's squad
1 confirmed death in EuchreJack's squad (rifleman barkov)
1 squad of enemy infantry spotted
1 enemy half-track spotted


You may now give your second set of orders (Or choose to remain as you are). Feel free to discuss your situation over the radio (you can choose to role-play, or not).

[warhammer651]

right, best move my spotters up till they make contact with the enemy. Don't hesitate to radio for some mortar support if you need it comrades

[MonkeyHead]

Hmm. Half track on the right flank. Dont think an AT rifle is needed for that is it? Burntpies could probably do some damage to it with some MG fire.

Unless of course you really want an AT rifle squad to move to the right flank in anticipation of heavier armour following it, leaving one in the village.

[stabbymcstabstab]

Send me at a lazy angle in the woods towards EuchreJack's squad

[Elfeater]

Does the mortar have a clear line of sight?

[warhammer651]

It's a mortar. it fires in an arc. like artillery, but smaller. Line of Sight is for everything that is not badass

Yeah but the accuracy is better when the crew can see what they are firing at, spotters are good but LOS is better.

But remember if you can see them they can sure as hell see you.

And given that mortar crews have no other weapon.....

Also, having played this game, a couple of mortar rounds near a position will usually cause anything nearby to be supressed (which halts movement) or in the case of vehicles pull back briefly (which is about as good as it gets)

[Scelly9]

Move toward the fire, keeping aware. Make sure to spread out.

Do I have any AT weapons?

[Azkul]

I'd like to make the point that my squad is the only one on the right flank, we seem dangerously exposed there.

[Burnt Pies]

We'll follow the Mortars if they move, keep them defended.

[Char13magne]

Scelly9; you have grenades, they are not intended to kill tanks, and against later tanks they are useless, but while the enemy has light stuff like half-tracks and pz1/2s, you have a fighting chance if you get close. You can also call arty in on tanks, but not if they are moving. It takes about a minute to arrive.
