Probably act as Leader since despite the numerous pages of chat, nobody volunteered .-.;

This is why there is a perception that you don't pay attention.

I did look back and see Radio force-volunteered you.

And you didn't respond with an affirmative.
So yeah.

This should be in the OOC. But it isn't.

[randomgenericusername]

"While I don't know a lot about radios, I like the idea of  using cover and the element of surprise. Better than just running straight for the entrance."

"I wanted to blow up the place and suggested using bombs and explosives, but the general said "don't damage the fort". I guess that means we won't be allowed to use either, which I find stupid but whatever."

"Extra assets? I don't think so. After all, they want us to leave the thing intact, so probably no artillery or air support. To be honest, I think they actually want us to fail."

"I didn't understand anything of what you said after that, but I agree that you should be the leader. You sound smart and don't have a radio for a head."

"I'd rather we have a chain of temporary command. I'd be volunteering as leader; Edward Bohring or whomever he picks can be second, because we'll be invariably be splitting up into two teams or more given the ideas others have raised here. Since we have only enough with Mr. Bohring, that one pass through a mountain sounds like an option, meaning to the west of the fortress.
"Taking Carolina's suggestion, the north has two roads of exit with little in between for vehicular movement. We can use that to block off Axis reinforcement or use the northern path as a quick way inside. Going south, taking Bob's suggestion, would be advantageous in creating a diversion, most likely near the industrial area and circling down south to approach the fortress from the south west.

"Either way we're operating on presumptions. We need a way to get into the fortress, meaning scaling the location from a side while silenced sniper cover protects that area from view--especially coupled with a distraction that can easily look like a blown ammunition storage or latent bomb fuse. The news of Axis forces surrendering would probably have encouraged the spirit of resistance in this area, if any news came by them. I'm only asking for those other support questions as we'd most likely be facing heavier armaments than a squad can handle. I mean, it'd be great if we were somehow able to commandeer a tank of theirs or go under guise as an officer-messenger, but we don't know enough about what is going on.

"Otherwise, we're stuck with just a few ideas: They haven't given up because the fortress makes a fighting chance and a bastion to conquer with a high casualty rate, or they have something important in the area, probably connected to whatever those lightning guns are related with or something I assume. Regardless, our first objective is intel of the area, and we can accomplish that altogether, or in at least two squads. We're outnumbered, and the last thing (unless needed) we want is to draw unnecessary attention. We have binoculars, scopes, and height in those buildings to accomplish at least one of those, and a very...strong radio who I presume isn't just body paint lately, as auxiliary."

[Leodanny]

Cool
I’ll stay with Simon

[Strider03]

"If we split into teams, each is gonna need a radio. I've got one, we have Radio Man, does anyone else have one? Anyhow. If a group's going to be pushing into enemy areas, we're gonna want heavier weaponry. I've got my BAR, dunno what everyone else has. Probably need some people good at clearing buildings, with shotguns or something. Probably want another team with Simon, to follow up the rear, and clear out buildings on the sides of our path, and search out good perches covering any groups pushing forwards.

I'll take the lead on that if no one objects."

ame: Robert McKinley
Description: McKinley was about ten years old when WWI ended, and his brother returned with innumerable stories of gore and glory. Robert desired to fight for his country in the same way. There was, however, no immediate war in which he could partake. He considered himself to be one of the few to hate the Roaring Twenties. They were a time when the people wallowed in extravagance and purposely forgot the horrors, but also the sacrifices and heroism of the great war. And then came the depression. He found himself liking the depression, though of course, he didn't admit that. Mainly because it seemed like fitting retribution for the excess of the previous years. it might have also had to do with the fact that he managed to retain his job and keep up a standard of living. In any case, 1939 was a year almost of rejoicing, and after he had settled his affairs, he signed up for the battle which he had lusted for.
He's a tall, blondish man who fancies himself to have a certain rakish look. His eyes are deep set under a heavy brow, but full of disturbing light. Call him Bob.

"Camera resolution wasn't so great~"

The man says in a completely different voice than the one he had before, his eyes glazed over and his arms slack at his sides. He shudders and looks around a moment later as though he forgot where he was.

Ed looks surprised at the nomination for leadership. I haz questions in spoiler. I also haz a couple ideas for early mission strategy, in second spoiler, for anyone who would care to discuss. (we could take that to the ooc thread too, so as not to clutter this one too much.)

"I ... I guess I'm the leader. I don't know, unless Simon wants to be leader? Simon?"

Spoiler: Questions of a mostly military persuasion (click to show/hide)

some of these questions might be a bit much. feel free to gloss over the exact information or simply not answer anything that is too much work
1) how many, and what kind, of Allied troops are here?
2) what is their organizational chart? (brigades, companies, platoons.
3) what kind of hardware do they have available (artillary, grond and air vehicles,
3) The winding path up the hill - how steep is the hillside there? how steep is it elsewhere?
4) do we have any leads on locating French resistance cells in town? How about anyone who would be familiar with the fort: Civic engineers, archivists, sewer inspectors ...
5) I note that the woods are cleared from most of the area around the fort, but there seems to be a dark green patch right up next to it on the north side - a possible weak point?
6) please identify high structures in town: church steeples, clock towers, high bridge structures.

Spoiler: A few ideas concerning our initial movements (click to show/hide)

1. Let's establish fire groups this time. sets of three or four who hang out together and do stuff as a unit, more or less.
2. Naturally, we ant to scout the area. Getting our sniper into a high place wuld be a good way to get eyes on the town. Beware, the Germans probably already did this, so expect resistance.
3. Speaking of resistance: let's locate us some French resistance. If anyone knows about hte weaknesses of the fort, and things like underground tunnels and stuff, it will be the locals who normally handle that stuff.
4. Let's establish a sort of HQ - prferably near the main army's hq for starters, but we'll likely neede to move our own HQ forward int oenemy held territory before too long.
5. Let's look for ways to obscure the fort's vision. I believe PW mentioned smoke (I believe it was Bones who suggested it).
6. If possible, we should arrange for a diversionary offensive, when we are ready to actually advance on the fort. Give he Krauts something to think about besides us, while we do our Dirty Dozen duties.

Spoiler: mission briefing (click to show/hide)

We've been tasked with helping clear a section of city and then to remove the "Fort du Roule", a heavily fortified hill top bunker, from the list of enemy held positions.
Its position on the hilltops above the city makes it too good of a strategic position for them to just bomb it to gravel.
Taking it won't be easy though; its got at least 5 heavily fortified firing positions and a tunnel system in the stone.
Intelligence indicates there's an entrance on the west side of the mountain, though getting to it might be harder than just getting to one of those fortified positions and blasting on through. Your call.

We're going to drop you off by boat and the local boys will bring you where you need to go. We're told they'll have a map for you but don't expect anything amazing.

This is a simple job, lads: Kill any Kraut that still has some fight in him, spare any citizen of the town, and try to keep that fort as intact as possible."  He waves his hand dismissively at that last part, but doesn't say anything more.

1) Under your control, basically none. There are other troops here but they're under the control of other people so their coming it will depend on the decisions of higher ups.
2) Not terribly important considering you don't control them or have any influence over them.
3) The closest to artillery around here is the naval bombardment going on. The bombing runs happened earlier so there's no planes in the area, and most of the vehicles are focused up north around the docks and the area there.
3 again) The hill to the north and east is pretty steep with some sheer rock faces, though they're not very high. Otherwise its between a 20-35 degree grade or there abouts. Around the switchback its around 30.
4) They say there's a group of them in that cluster of red houses to the west.
5) Its not a bad idea but I can't tell you one way or another if it will work or not because the soldier doesn't know.
6)The fish processing to the south west is going to have the highest structures. Otherwise you're probably not gonna get above a three story building with some of those homes. The area is fairly flat, save for the hill and its fort. Hence why its such a good position.

Spoiler: Map (You can edit the image size by adding height=x with x in pixels; Please do this Piecewise, because the map is horribly too huge at its default size)
{We are at the upper left area; click for notes} (click to show/hide)

Main Objective:
Take the Fortress

Secondary Objective:
Clear as many buildings as you can on the way
Minimal to No Civilian Casualties
Establish Intel from local civilians
Note enemy strength and firepower

*Allied forces can be used to provide a distraction by advancing the frontline.
The frontline is the yellow-bordered zone.

Legend:
SW Gray Structures = Industrial Buildings (Warehouses, Factories, Processing Plants, etc)
Small square Red/Orange Structures = Residential Buildings
Small square Black/Grey Structures = Residential/Other Buildings (The colors are the roofs)
SE Gray Blob = Fortress Bunker "Fort du Roule" raised on a Hill
Dark Green areas = Forested regions
*People can search up how Cherbourg looked like in the past for comparison.
*The Fortress has a tunnel system, probably branching out to the outlying important areas
**There is an entrance to the Fortress from the west side of a mountain, with noted difficulty to access compared to blasting our way in. But we somehow DO NOT HAVE EXPLOSIVES WITH US.

NOTES:
We estimate there are probably a hundred or more civilians squatting, acting as resistance, or just hiding in buildings.
*Enemy probably has low morale, or is zealous to fight, due to allied areas surrendering around. They may be protecting vital resources.

Gray structure on top of a hill; bottom right = Fort.
= Good firing lines on all the homes and areas around
= Uncertain level of accuracy/ability to pick out small groups from a long distance

**Stay off the main streets as best you can
**There's a ton of forest around here between and behind buildings, perfect cover.

*We are free to make a path and clear that fort.

Spoiler: Introduction to map (click to show/hide)

"This is what we've got for the most recent map. Its aerial, taken before the bombardment really started. Upper left here is the furthest extension of the harbor, its where we're headed. We already control the harbor and the buildings around it in that yellowish bare dirt section. . .

Beyond that, everything is technically under german control. We're not sure which homes and buildings in there are actually occupied though. We estimate there are probably a hundred or more civilians squatting, acting as resistance, or just hiding in buildings. No idea about the number of germans or their locations other than that they're definately here"

He taps on the gray structure on top of a hill in the bottom right of the image

"Thats the fort. They've got good firing lines on all the homes and areas around here, though we're not really sure their level of accuracy or their ability to pick out small groups from a long distance. Still, I'd stay off the main streets as best you can; there's a ton of forest around here between and behind buildings, perfect cover.

You guys just have to make a path and clear that fort. Clear as many buildings as you can on the way, of course, and take whatever path you want, but that fort is priority one.

We'll try to keep advancing the front behind you to provide support if you need it, but a big part of this is the fact that a small force has more chance to sneak in unnoticed  than a full blown assault."


He folds the map back up and then holds it in front of him, scanning the boat.

"You have any more questions? Oh and who is the lead here?" He points the map towards the group and moves it back and forth as though seeking the leader.

Also questions!

"You have any more questions?[...]" He points the map towards the group and moves it back and forth as though seeking the leader.

"Do we have access to extra assets? Air support? Artillery? Smoke cover? Does the enemy have access to reinforcements in case alarm breaks out, and how does that work lately since the bombings? Is there a possibility of facing armored support? Because since when has our tankbuster rifles been put to use despite being an equipment set

"Do we have a clear line of communication between us and home base? Are our enemies tapping into our communications, are we using ciphers? Asking the latter questions because I feel some of us wish to establish that without communicating that they wish to do so again

"And are there any notes on the common colors of the enemy, or are we only facing the Wehrmacht here? I do not wish anyone to commit warcrimes, as we know the Nazis do that via execution to anyone anyway.

"And once we do capture the fortress, what are the signal codes we should use--or should we evacuate the area ourselves when it is finished?

"Also we have a soldier here who is an expert in aviation. Any ideas for her?"

"We can't give you anything but there are other units in the area who, depending on their orders, may be around offering assistance. We'll keep you informed via the radio."
"We've been using radios for communications. This code book "He gives you a code book"Is the one we've been using this week. They don't seem to have cracked it, or if they did they're really not showing any evidence of it. "
"They're in standard Wehrmacht uniforms as far as we know. Maybe disheveled and dirty or missing pieces; their hold here is growing weak and they're increasingly disorganized."
"Radio in or send up a flare and then hold position until more troops can come to reinforce you. Provide support to other allies on the ground if you can."
"Does she have a plane?"

Ready up. I currently have listed 12 shells shot, and 6 shells slug. Is that okay?

Ok so two people walked up and grabbed the map at the same time as the boat stopped at the dock. The soldier gave you a pained look and just let the map go with both people still holding it.

"You keep the map, I'm going to need a radio," Tala said to Ozarck Mr. Bohring. "Bob, take west; I'll move north east with those under me. Also sadly, Alice does not own a plane.

"Unless anyone else finds it prudent for all of us to venture west, link up with the resistance, and then plan from there?

"Also...officer, are you alright?"...

Perform a medical check on the person who had just...glazed over his gaze and such? That's a bit strange.

"Aye aye. Alright, everyone on the push team, come on. Shotguns, flamethrowers, machine guns, whatever, you should know if you're supposed to be on this team."

Mainly because it seemed like fitting retribution for the excess of the previous years. it might have also had to do with the fact that he managed to retain his job and keep up a standard of living. In any case, 1939 was a year almost of rejoicing, and after he had settled his affairs, he signed up for the battle which he had lusted for.
He's a tall, blondish man who fancies himself to have a certain rakish look. His eyes are deep set under a heavy brow, but full of disturbing light. Call him Bob.

“If I may offer some opinions on our movement…”
Discuss strategy with team mates.

Spoiler: Strategy (click to show/hide)

1. I think our first movement should be to get to the dense woods below the south east corner of the harbor. In doing so, we should avoid going into the dence buildings at the Eastern side of the docks.
2. We travel east, building to building or sticking to the woods (we can decide on that later), until we reach the dense woods under the north east corner of the map (under the Northernmost road, not above it)
3. There is a spot where the dense woods is right up against the bunker at the northwest corner. I say we use that to get as close as possible. We come in from the dense woods north of the bunker, and creep our way up the hill, under cover of the forest. If the woods don’t go all the way to the bunker wall (they probably don’t), then we’ll get as close as possible, and pop smoke.
Additionally. We may want to try to do other stuff, like meet up with resistance, but this movement layout should give us a frame work that we can branch out from.
Also, this should go without saying, but the closer we get to the bunker, the less noticeable we need to be. That means we should probably avoid fights instead of trying to clear every building. I’d rather stick to the woods in general, but I’m willing to compramise on that, just pitching in my two cents.

Ed's goingto wait a turn or two to watch the 'team' wander around.


Don' really care who's 'The Leader,' but hey, let's at least decide who is going with who and where, before we all run off like jackrabbits, eh?"
