[plan]

Horrible? Good? Give me your thoughts.
I'd swap one of the cannons for 3 more machine guns and a mortar. And do note that I might get 100 R of my own, too. I'd use them for two more infantry squads.

Blazing, can you post the image to a different site? Imgur is blocked in China.

What website would you suggest?

It should be noted that light tanks are built to take out lightly defended targets, and come with free machine guns we could dismount when we don't need the vehicles themselves, but for the time being, I suppose more AT guns wouldn't hurt.

Here's my counterproposal:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

On second thought I like light tanks. Not four of them, sounds like overkill, but two would be perfect.

Throw some TNT in that ditch on the right as well- deny them cover.
According to this & this, photobucket works.

I like about 80% of this plan. Once I get answers about the game mechanics and what intel we have on the convoy, I'll reevaluate the plan and according point expenditure.

We should go with GrizzlyAdamz's plan,it's reasonable and unlike mine,it doesn't have the mistake of assuming that the road is a river.

I can, thanks Blazing! I'll certainly take your river planning into consideration as well :p Thank you for being the first to do the planning on the map--this is certainly the best way to go about it, in my opinion.

Well it's reasonable that if we are to recieve a detailed map then we should make the most of it,if I didn't do it then someone else would later.

Sorry for the wait, reality is being a douchemuffin.

I'd say the smart thing would be to decide what we'll need and want together, as things are expensive and we only have a total of 600 Requisition. If only we'd have chosen the Soviets for GLORIOUS INEXPENSIVE ARMATURES. Also, since we chose the Germans, I'd like to change my character's name to Oberfeldwebel Michael Steinmann.

Three Four questions:
1. Can Requisition points be pooled?
2. How many troops are there in one standard squad?
3. How much do motorcycles cost?
EDIT: 4. As a field officer, do I get Requisition?

No, but the general can give away his points, 8 (three riflemen, three SMGs, 1 machinegunner and a anti-tankman), 20R, Yes.

'Ere! smurfington! Which direction would the convoy be coming? North or south?

North.

Alright, cool. A few questions for you--one of which has been asked already--Mister Master Smurfington:

1. Do req points roll over if we don't use them all?
2. What are squad sizes?
3. Do we know anything about this convoy? Number of vehicles, troops, etc.? If not, is there a way to gather more intel before buying random schtuff first?

No, 8, only that it's pretty darn big, and you need a radio set.

Well it's reasonable that if we are to recieve a detailed map then we should make the most of it,if I didn't do it then someone else would later.

I'll give you more screenshots of the terrain if you need them.

Requesting a more panoramic view of the fightin' field.

Relevant for 'squad size': http://usmilitary.about.com/od/army/l/blchancommand.htm

Also, unless someone else has dibs, requesting promotion to Feldwebel so I can be responsible for a rifleman squad. Otherwise, I'm fine doing the shooty & the move-y bits only.
Was I gifted a Ranger prestige class? If so,..what does it do exactly?


+1 to less tanks, more guns. I'd also feel better with something like satchel charge-IEDs rather than mortars- might come with the supply truck, can be set up by engineers...
Also, can we use explosives or heavy transports to obstruct the road via trees/lumber/obstacles?
And do we have any other objectives or limitations? (don't destroy the road for example)

Hm, I might be thinking a bit too out of the box. It's a standalone game, I bet landmines are the only mine-objects. Do wrecks function as roadblocks (say if we disabled the first and last trucks)? Just how effective are mortars? How does cover/concealment work?

Yes, wrecks will block the cars (though most will just drive around them), there's trigger mines, anti-tank mines, anti-infantry mines, satchel charges and TNT, timed and fused, mortars are primarily anti-infantry, and cover/concealment is a big part of the game.

There's a reason I like this editor, and that reason is that it is dynamic as all hell.

May I join as a Belgian General?

If you're a german collaborator, sure.



I can't upload to Photobucket, it's not working for some reason.

May I be a officer in the glorious USSR if that is still possible?

No? Knew it. May I be an officer in the NGR, then?

Added.

Spoiler: Yay for Tier 1 (click to show/hide)

I can get you a Panzer 1 or 2, they're the smallest I can get.
