Comrades in Arms Discussion Board

There's still a Platoon Commander to be slotted 

ZOMBIES EVERYWHERE!!!!


I'm sorry, I couldn't resist. 

Zwobot, what's the ammo available for the mortar?

There is a crate with 18 HE shells plus the default layouts form the mortar gunner and asst. gunner.

Rgr, I'll be backup PL Comd if no one else takes the slot and if someone can operate the mortar accurately.... ;D

Ok Marto, I will put you down as Platoon Commander and take the Forward Observer slot myself.

Until now there are not enough signups for this mission for my taste but I expect some more 'random' players to show up on Sunday like in the weeks before. But I wouldn't want to play this mission with less than 13 players distributed in the command-, mortar- and the 2 rifle squads.

By radio to PHQ. PHQ will coord whether medic is dispatched or casualty moves to medic loc. DO NOT throw a tantrum and yell and scream like a big girl at the medic if you are wounded...

Command & Sig
No change.

I'll try not to.  ;D




Also, Marto, I don't know if anyone else's computer is showing this, but your image seems to have broken the skin a bit.

Should be fixed...

I can take RPG if no-one oppose, Platoon commander can decide on which group (Alpha Red or Alpha Green) should i go.

4: RPG Grenadier

No worries Slash.

If we can at least fill Bravo I think we are good to go with 2 main manouvre elements.

I figure if Gum joins then he will take Senior Rflmn (Gren Launcher), Hawke might join and Grip might take Squad leader Bravo, and Tony also might join... . Then we will have good numbers.

Task verb "seize" on Obj Keyhole implies holding it with troops on ground or near, but we prob won't have manpower to leave troops there, so at least we can seize it then leave it....

Post any questions or ideas on plan.

Some more questions for Zwobot.......

Does CAS require radio operator slotted?

Has recent intel identified any likey enemy armoured threat?

Are TBG-7V rounds available to be issued to RPG operators if no armoured threat is likely? These would be needed for bunker busting and infantry concentrations.

Any updated imagery of enemy positions from fast air, UAV or satellites? ;D ;D ;D

If you don't ask you don't get....

Yes please. Questions of this kind are encouraged.

Negative, CAS is called via radio trigger and will operate independently without further input.
Radios are only needed if you want to have the group tracking system. Radios will be available in the gear selection.

There definitely is no armor threat in this area of operations.
I'm going to check with Batallion logistics if they can provide TBG-7V ammunition for the operation. I will give you an update by tomorrow evening.

@ Marto a will send you that picture in a PM

Your platoon needs you Grip.... You will miss the seizure of "the Shrine" and the final destruction of those mortar tubes...

I think you should tell your missus that you are needed for this mission and that you will make it up to her on Monday night.... with a big bang....
