Part 97: Operation Mange Poutine: Coalition Deployment: Phase 2

Coalition Deploymeny: Phase 2

Could the two of you go in detail as to what changes you made to deploymeny. My tanks were moved behind better cover, and that's all I've noticed so far. In any case, all we really need to do now is plan preliminary bombardment and that should be it.



First of all, I think we should limit initial attacks strictly to our on-map units that are immune to counterbatteries. In any case, we won't need much to lay down some heavy fire on the roads and urban concentrations near the enemy frontlines.

Urcinius has designated a small number of 105mm howitzers to the barrage, but I think 2 or 3 of those could be done away with.

Essentially, I think if we are going to use our off-map artillery, it should be in a glorious hellstorm that annihilates everything at once, otherwise we use small amounts of mortars and rockets to suppress tactically.



Also, shouldn't we be firing smoke closer to where our forces could plausibly in the next 5 turns? Just saying.
