I'll go with either.

Mission One, Take two:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Part of our troops start in central clearing  (2x light infantry, 4x MSS43 infantry, 2x Marathi M42K Heavy Artillery) and move to marked positions. One light infantry hides near the bridge and will cut enemy escape route as well as provide fire support if possible, other will move behind the buildings with half of our mortar squads and act as reserves (ready to move at moments notice) while MSS43 infantry will set up their mortars and their riflemen will guard that position. MSS43 infantry in central clearing will take similar positions at the edge of forest so that their riflemen can protect artillery there.
Rest of the infantry will move along the road and take cover either in or behind the houses by the road, exept one squad that will set up on the other side of the road, out of sight. Half of our attack vehicles (1x 'Tiger' L34 Assault Trucks, 2x 'Talon' L43 Assault Trucks) move with our infantry and hide behind the houses or if that's not possible in the woods behind them, and the rest will move past the open space and hide in/past the woods there.

Once the convoy is in front of our forces our first group of vehicles will make the first strike, taking cover behind houses when it's possible and attacking most dangerous enemies they spot, tanks and the like, while our infantry joins the attack where they can (depending on lenght of convoy), bridge squad will move and prevent enemy from retreating, destroy enemy trucks to block the road if nececery. If that doesn't work artillery can attempt to destroy the bridge, otherwise it (and mortar infantry) should provide fire support untill the end.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

When the enemy counterattacks our first vehicle group takes cover behind buildings (infantry may also take cover if under heavy fire) to draw enemy in and second vehicle group will attack enemy in their rear, bridge group may move in if convoy can't escape across river (they should take cover in the woods along the road though). If there is need to use reserve squad now is the time, either with the bridge squad to help prevent escape, with the main infantry if enemy is getting too close, or with the last squad in the last buildings by the road if it seems like enemy units might try to push through (in this case our first vehicle group will move in and help).

Better? Also, can we name our troops/groups? It would help with writing a lot...

[~Neri]

I'm gonna name one of the infantry groups "The Wolves." and another "The Hounds."

+1, and disregard my plan. This is much more detailed. Can you label the vehicles positions as well? Right now I can only see the infantry, artillery, and mortars. Also, do you think we could each have command over a unit? That would be much more interesting than all of us conclusively coming to a plan.

I would like the Tiger Assault Trucks to be Viking 1 & 2, and the Talon's to be Norseman 1 & 2.

You can call the units whatever you want so long as each time you post you clearly state what something is, and which one it is when applicable, but for bookkeeping reasons and simplicity it'll be easier for me to have everything down as a being their unit not what you guys call them. This game is meant to handle dozens of units on your side alone and thus keeping track of who is who, keeping separate stat blocks for them, etc. will be extra work on my mind in especially since on the map all units of a type will have the same symbol, your Light Infantry for instance will all be green Ls on the map.

Also, do you think we could each have command over a unit? That would be much more interesting than all of us conclusively coming to a plan.

Right now everyone is commanding the entire outfit because the rules aren't tested, after a few missions I plan to begin allowing (some) players start controlling their own units while the main outfit being controlled now is still lead by everyone else. Since as it stands the system is possibly broken, if I let each player control a specific unit then players will likely die out really damn quick due to rules, armaments, and units being unbalanced.

Good to hear, I already had enough of messing with paint.

Here's the last one:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Talons (Norseman 1&2) are the orange blocks (two for each), while Tiger (Viking 1&2) are red blocks. Don't expect to actually use those names for every unit, that was annoying to make.

What I meant with the names is more like naming group that acts together in a mission, like now our vehicles are in two groups that are used separate from other units, so giving name to such task force would make it easier to use even if it's used only in single mission. Just something to consider...

Oh yeah you can name groups of units (like the groups of assault trucks) as long as its easy to distinguish them apart from each other, would make my work a bit easier.

[Mr. Strange]

...I'm not making another map.

_{Okay, fine.}

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Viking (1x 'Tiger' L34 Assault Trucks, 2x 'Talon' L43 Assault Trucks) is the first vehicle group that makes the first attack, Norseman (1x 'Tiger' L34 Assault Trucks, 2x 'Talon' L43 Assault Trucks) is the second that attacks enemy rear, Migrants (4x Light Infantrymen) is infantry in/behind houses, The Elves (1x Light Infantrymen) hide in the forest and take potshots, The Roadbclok (1x Light Infantrymen) will block the road, The Hounds (Light Infantrymen) are reserves, The Wolves (Light Infantrymen) are bridge squad and Roaches (4x MSS43 Infantry, 2x Marathi M42K Heavy Artillery) are artillery (also contains those two mortar squads inside The Hounds).

[Worldmaster27]

Details prevail! I change my +1 to Mr. Stange's plan.

[Patrick Hunt]

+1 to strange.

[adwarf]

The update will be up today, and this mission shouldn't last longer than three updates at most due to the ease of the mission and such, as an advance note to all starting Mission 2 anyone who wishes two will be able to take control of a either a small group of units or a single unit. To those interested in taking control of a unit in the outfit choose any color except orange, red, pink, or yellow and that will be the color of your units from now on.

Do keep in mind I'd like it if a player controlled no more than 2 a specific unit (such as 2 Light Riflemen), and no more than 4 units in total so that everyone can attempt to have control of something. 2 Light Riflemen, 1 MSS43, a Talon, and a Tiger will be remaining in control of all of those who do not have units (Likely to be expanded as more units are taken on.)

[Playergamer]

Could I have the Green Elves?

[~Neri]

I'll take The Wolves and The Hounds and the color of Purple.

[PewdsRocks]

I'll take a pair of talons.Blue

[adwarf]

Could I have the Green Elves?

Yes you may though its only one unit so


PS: Remember you won't be controlling them until the next mission ... so a few of your units might not exist anymore.
