Scenario,
1st Platoon Forces have done aerial reconnaissance of over Foy and spotted 2nd Platoon’s Command Post out of the Dugout Barn. 1st platoon forces must seize the Dugout Barn from 2nd platoon’s control and capture the intelligence before 2nd Platoon successfully destroys all high value information from the Command Post.2nd Platoon has spotted the aerial reconnaissance and set up a deliberate defence in preparation of a First Platoon attack. Once the assault begins 1st Platoon will be given 45 minutes to capture the objective and seize any documents 2nd Platoon has left behind.
ASSETS: 1st Platoon,
1st Platoon Assets:1st Platoon has the infantry elements of the platoon as well as one armor crew and cannot wait for armor reinforcements. However a friendly artillery battery nearby has the enemy position dialed in with smoke ammunition on standby. The Commander of First Platoon has limited assets limited to: strafing runs, ammunition drops, supply drops, recon planes, precision strikes, encourage, and any resource conversions. As well as any vehicle drop up to medium tanks, no heavy tanks. NO AIRHEADS WILL BE DROPPED DURING THIS OPERATION. Also no repair stations will be made.
UNIT BREAKDOWN: 1st Platoon
Commander | Coordinates Platoon efforts and gives orders to the units in the field |
Assault Inf. | Responsible for the probing of enemy defenses and overwhelming the enemy force |
Reconnaissance | If any recon is involved their key role is to send spotting flares above the enemy lines to give more intel to 1st Platoon |
Armor | Supports infantry in a siege role, sitting back and shelling the enemy forces |
Artillery | Supports Infantry at request. Only smoke rounds are available for this operation |
EXECUTION
Commander’s Intent (1st Platoon)
The intent is for 1st Platoon to seize any valuable intelligence before 2nd Platoon destroys all of the intelligence. As far as the execution it will fall onto the squad leaders to come up with a plan during the preparation phase.
OVERVIEW: 1st Platoon,
The following scenario is based on the breakthrough of 2nd Platoon’s defenses to capture all intelligence inside the dugout barn.
The strategy at play is to force the enemy to spread out along their defenses to weaken any given point in the line. Squad leaders will probe the enemy defenses and determine the weakest point to send the main attack force through. It is encouraged to use combat engineers to destroy enemy fortifications with satchels to create even more weak points in the enemies defenses, ultimately gaining access to the barn. The key is rapid pressure throughout the enemy line to keep them from focusing on any given point. Additional Note: Read the bottom map for start of game instructions.
ASSETS: 2nd Platoon,
2nd Platoon Assets: 2nd Platoon has all of their infantry assets as well as one tank crew in a medium tank. 2nd Platoon will have no artillery during this FTX. The Commander of Second Platoon has limited assets limited to: strafing runs, ammunition drops, supply drops, recon planes, precision strikes, encourage, and any resource conversions. As well as any vehicle drop up to medium tanks, no heavy tanks. NO AIRHEADS WILL BE DROPPED DURING THIS OPERATION. Also no repair stations will be made.
UNIT BREAKDOWN: 2nd Platoon
Commander | Coordinates company efforts and gives orders to the units in the field |
Defense Inf. | Responsible for preparing elaborate defense on and outside of the Dugout Barn |
Reconnaissance | If any recon is involved their key role is to send spotting flares above the enemy lines to give more intel to 2nd Platoon |
Armor | Supports infantry in a defensive role, sitting on point and shelling the enemy forces |
EXECUTION
Commander’s Intent (2nd Platoon)
The intent is for 2nd Platoon is to keep the enemy out of Dugout Barn while any intelligence is destroyed. The squad leaders will each take sectors and prepare deliberate defenses through those areas. However if certain areas need more attention squad leaders can focus on those areas. It is encouraged to set up extra defenses throughout the area and not just at the front line.
OVERVIEW: 2nd Platoon,
The following scenario is based on the holding the Dugout Barn objective. 2nd Platoon will spread out into three zones to defend the objective. If any zone begins to fall another zone will send troops over to the falling zone, bringing it back to a stable point. AT guns will only be used on a fall back basis. They will be closer to the point outside of the main fight and only be used if the friendly tank is destroyed. 2nd Platoon will be given 45 minutes to prepare defences on the objective. Once that timeline is up offensive forces WILL attack the objective. In the event all spawns are destroyed you can reinforce the objective from HQ but once the objective is fully taken a ceasefire will be issued. If the German Forces capture the intelligence all units will fall back.
