Philipp Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I am designing a scenario where US infantry attacks a Russian battalions mortar position (2B11 or 2B14) and would like to hear if anybody knows how such a position with 2 sections of 3 mortars each would look like. Specifically, are they set up in a line? A triangle? Does it even matter? What should the spacing be? Should they be set up in trenches or foxholes to improve protection? What would be the layout of the trenches? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonS Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 From that doc, the 'Lazy W' in Fig 6-12 is very common, but the other layouts in Figs 6-11 thru 6-16 are all useful depending on your specific situation. The platoon CP would be central-ish and slightly to the rear, preferably in a position where all the barrels can be seen, and from which fire control orders passed easily. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
