Need suggestions for plan of attack! (pics in post)

AHAH! Pirx, the thought did cross my mind. But I talked to my opponent today and I am pretty sure he does not go to any CM websites.

Bit gamey that..mmh?... I should think so, ErikinWest, old boy...(tapping riding crop against boot.) Now go tell your friend the wager is off...There's a good lad.

[ErikinWest]

Comrade Tiredboots, I didn't understand a word you said......

Try it with a british accent.

[ErikinWest]

Thanks that works impeccably. Um... what's a riding crop? Why should the wager be off?

Because you asked some very good players to hand you a victory on a platter without your opponent's knowledge. Riding crop=horse whip.

Well, JasonC's advice is hardly handing him a victory on a platter. He'll still need to play the game. Besides, it's not like his opponent couldn't come and ask for advice himself.

Preposterous! With that logic I shant for study for a test again because I will be asking for the answers on a platter, while my less motivated peers will have to work with what solely know.

Shutup and get back to the discussion... it's interesting!

For me the plan seems a bit rigid. Definitely keeping the HQ with the main body is a start, but crossing on the left is problematic I think. The original right hook gives more options IMO.

[Bruce70]

I'd send one platoon deeper down the right. Primarily as a holding force for any relief he tries to send up on his left, but also to give you another option if the opportunity arises.

If you are intent upon attacking across that open area I recomend that you not just rely upon smoke to both cover and ease your advance. You are going to have to soften the enemy up enough through winning fire dominance, or at least having engaged heavily in a firefight to your advantage. You have the means to do it with the KT, the 2 StugH's and LMG equipt rifle squads and company heavy weapons.

You might want to move up your left assault groups to their jumping off positions quietly and hold off on the smoke coverred crossing attempt for awhile while you engage the enemy in a direct firefight. This is so you can disrupt some of your opponent's squads integrity and make then easier for your assault troops to deal with later. Also by waiting a few minutes more it gives your firebase the time to KO any of the Russian armour that they get the opportunity to take out. Hopefully this can be done to your advantange but in enough time before any Russian spotter team or two gets a fix on your firebase units.

I also agree with Jason C about getting the 'Pinke' group on the right a little more to the left. Certainly have them move close to their position at or near "C" flag, but think about placing them so they can both win their own firefight and also fire across the double road highway abit and add their firepower into your opponent's left flank at some point. I would also take all of your snipers along within the 'Pinke' group both to recon to the front & right front of point "C" but also to have in defilade / enfilade firing positions behind the mini platoon. from here snipers should have effective firing positions, IMO.

All the best, but I still prefer your orrigional plan of attacking on the right, because of the advantage of using a coverred approach and because it consentrates your assaulting force all together in one assault.
