1st Mai, 1880 CYA*

You are Major Rikkard Mogard, field officer of the Gulden Empire!

The Great War, dubbed by the contemporary historians already, has been a bloody five years business so far. Who thought that those Sterling bastards would react so strongly against conquest of a small republic on the other side of the Empire?

But they did, and they dragged their friends into it, and so your beloved Emperor Matthias III had to drag his own friends into it.

Five years have passed and the trenches are filled with bodies, farm fields littered with wreckages of steelbirds, and depths of sea sprinkled liberally with sunken vessels. The Great War carries on and you have been recently promoted to full command.

You're well known amongst your trops as a confident and caring father figure, who gets along with his soldiers and your soldiers repay you with loyalty and utmost respect.

5th Mai, 1880 CYA

You arrive at the frontlines, and the 11th Arrmy, of the recently killed Major Potatokin, becomes yours, per orders of the Emperor himself.

After the morning cup of tea, Lieutenant Fritz Frizten brings you the Army Ledger:

Morale: Moderately High (7)
Manpower: 68.500 Imperial soldiers
Vehicles: 142 Landships (mostly medium-size), 84 Mobile Guns
Supplies: Average (5)
Support: Adequate (5, mostly artillery)

Then your Lieutenant reminds you of current task: continuation of the paused Kapustatt Offensive through the southeastern border of the Umbrian Republic.

Reconnaisance report places many trenches and pillboxes in your way, and although Umbrian airforce is decimated, they have the saupport of Sterling steelbirds, and of course the reckless Umbrian cavalry is known to strike at least fortunate times.

It is time to set orders!

As for the pace of the offensive...

A) We will go slow and steady, pushing through the fortified area in one spot while other strongpoints are only tied up.
B) We will rush landships and cavalry through the trenches - why bother conquering something that you can simply roll over?
C) We will blast the entrenched enemies with artillery before our infantry moves in to conquer the trenches for the Empire!

As for the support...

A) We will call the local Imperial Airforce units to provide reconnaisance.
B) We will call the local Imperial Airforce units to provide strafing and bombing of the trenches.
C) We will do without it.

Air units show were to strike and enemy movements,

And we weaken them while our army take the chance when they are busy with the injured
And we press the weaker points with our glorious army to victory

And we fuck them real good.

+1 Actually I think I might agree with this course of action more. Still Glory to the Emperor! Death before dishonor! Loyalty and victory to his Majesty!

Softening them up and then fighting them where they get blasted to bits sounds like a good idea. Better then a slow press in against a fortified position at least. Turning this into a meat grinder against the highest manpower on the enemy side is probably not the best idea!
