So when can we expect the first update?

[Keita]

Awesome looks good!

[Char13magne]

A little later today, right around lunch. I just have to finish up my homework.

Okay, here it is;

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

We recieve news of Germany's callous betrayal of our proud and noble motherland and of course immadiately rush to enlist in her grand and invincible army.


We must defend Grave Wood (Shown as Green in the overall map key)

Our deployment area is as such;

Cromwell Hill, Hill 434 and Hill 413 to our Southwest (Shown as Red in the overall map key)


Glebe Hill And Friends Wood to our West (Shown as Blue in the overall map key)


The village of Promyschlennyy and Hammer Hill to our North (Shown as Yellow and Orange respectively)


Boulder Wood, Weasel Hill, and Picket Hill to our Northeast (Shown as Purple, Brown, and Pink respectively)


And finally, Hill 866 and Pheasant Hill to our South (Shown as Black and White respectively)


And here is the aforementioned map.

Key;
Green = Grave Wood (Defend)
Red = Cromwell Hill, Hill 434 and Hill 413
Blue = Glebe Hill and Friends Wood
Yellow = Village f Promyschlennyy
Orange = Hammer Hill
Purple = Boulder Wood
Brown = Weasel Hill
Pink = Picket Hill
Black = Hill 866
White = Pheasant Hill

And remember, the troops you individually have available are;

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Inteuniso; Heavy machinegun section (2)

USEC_OFFICER; Heavy machinegun section (2)

Warhammer 651; Light mortar section (3) With Staff Sergeant’s Squad

MonkeyHead; AT section (2) With Command Element

Falknor; Standard infantry squad

EuchreJack; Paratroopers squad

Hugehead; Paratroopers squad

Xanatos Jr; Paratroopers squad

Metal Militia; Leftenant's Command Squad

Now is the only time you will all have guaranteed full communications as well as being afforded the luxury of seeing what everyone else is seeing, (In the future, I will put everyone's individual areas of vision in labeled spoilers, and only allow you peeks (usually of key locations with everything else "censored") when you succesfully establish full radio contact, but for now you may all go ahead and talk freely, so if you would like you may discuss deployment with one another openly). When you are ready to assign a deployment, tell me your deployment orders in an underlined font, being very specific in location and squad facing. Good luck!

(P.S. do remember that casualty rates tend to be slightly high, so don't worry if you lose a lot of men, although, given that, I have every confidence in your abilities as a group!)

[warhammer651]

Deploy myself and one mortar just south of Hill 866 (Group 1). Deploy the other 2 mortars within Grave wood itself, slightly to the north.(Group 2)

[inteuniso]

Set up 1 HMG squad on Hammer Hill. Set up another on hill 866.

EDIT:Set up both squads.

[Keita]

Does the 'commanding' unit give bonuses to other units?

[Char13magne]

You are all morally obligated to listen to this, as good Russian soldiers of the Motherland!

And some food for thought;

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The lads have all gone to the wars
to serve in the Red Guard ~
to serve in the Red Guard ~
and risk their hot heads for the cause.

Hell and damnation,
life is such fun
with a ragged greatcoat
and a Jerry gun!

To smoke the nobs out of their holes
we’ll light a fire through all the world,
a bloody fire through all the world –
Lord, bless our souls!

Metal Militia; Looking at old forum entries made by the creator on the forums, it seems like there is something about morale (units can surrender, this is affected by wounds, unit type, situation, etc. Fairly realistic, so just imagine what you would be deadly afraid of!). In addition, there actually IS a radio Comm system in the game, it just isn't as complex as I'm making it, so generally hills are best for you, with little intervening terrain. As Commissar, you can give directives to everyone about deployment, but they can take their own initiative if they feel that the situation calls for it.

[warhammer651]

Deploy cammand staff in the middle of the three hills, facing north.

Does the 'commanding' unit give bonuses to other units?

Not directly. But if you move too far from a unit, we won't be able to give it orders.

Also, we lose if you die.

[Keita]

Scratch first deployment option.

Near the back of Grave Wood, facing north west.

[Hugehead]

Boulder Wood, facing northwards.

[MonkeyHead]

weasel hill facing NE, field of fire over the village and down the tank friendly road........ might be nice to have some infantry with me in boulder wood

[Char13magne]

This is what I have so far.

USEC_OFFICER; Deploy one HMG in Glebe Hill and another in Friends Wood.

EuchreJack; My paratroopers will defend Friends Wood, and prevent the enemy from closing in on the HMG.

That leaves;
Falknor
Xanatos Jr

[USEC_OFFICER]

Any ideas where the Germans are coming from?

[warhammer651]

Any ideas where the Germans are coming from?

From the North(?). The opponent always starts at the top of the screen with us at the bottom.

[USEC_OFFICER]

Deploy one HMG in Glebe Hill and another in Friends Wood.

Some nearby backup would be handy.
