OP Turn 5 Planning

[Double Deuce]

Here you can discuss your 5th turn orders. I will post your beginning intelligence information so you can use that to make your 5th turn plans.

Fellow Commanders,

Here is my draft plan for OP 5 - I need your opinions!

Zone AA

1st Peacekeeper Company
...x13 Peacekeepers

Orders: Continue defensive work and patrolling neighbouring zones.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Zone CC

1st US Marine Rifle Company
...x10 Rifle Squad
...x2 Sniper
...x3 Light Infantry Squad
...x1 60mm Mortar Section
...x1 M240 MMG Section
1st US Marine ATGM Platoon
...x3 Dragon Team

Orders: Continue defensive work and patrolling neighbouring zones.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Zone W

1st US Marine Rifle Company Scouts
...x2 Scout Team

Orders: Keep patrolling the zone, remain "invisible."

2nd Ukraine ATGM Platoon
...x2 Spigot Team
...x1 BTR-70A
1st Ukraine SPA Platoon
...x3 2S3M Akutsiya

Orders: Move to N, and join the Combined Arms Task Force (CATF) there. Follow their orders. SPA platoon is to establish radio contact with CATF as soon as they are in firing range, so if CATF engages rebels before SPA platoon actually joins, SPAs can at least support them from the distance.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Zone S

3rd Peacekeeper Company
...x9 Peacekeepers

Orders: Build defensive works at road intersection, patrol the zone. Avoid contact with pro-gov. forces, return fire only if fired upon. Integrate 3 squads coming from defunct 2nd Peacekeeper Company.

1st UN Peacekeeper APC Platoon
...x4 Fiat/OTO 661461
...x4 Peacekeepers

Orders: Move to zone N, join the CATF. Follow their orders.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Zone N

2nd Peacekeeper Company
...x7 Peacekeepers

Orders: Unit is disbanded; Detach a platoon to 1st Peacekeeper Tank Platoon, they would be their tank desant. Remaining 3 squads are to move to S and join 3rd Peacekeeper Company.

4th Peacekeeper Company
...x13 Peacekeepers

Orders: Move ahead of CATF, three platoons in wedge formation, mutually supporting each other. Do not hurry after the bridge (but get over it ASAP!), this is only a probing operation against the rebels, and a pressure-relieving measure to our "allies," the pro-gov forces. If we run into rebels, engage them to probe their strength, but do not press too hard. Reserve your strength.

CATF
1st Ukraine Light APC Company
...x10 Mech Section
...x10 BTR-70A(+)
1st UK Mech Infantry Platoon (+)
...x4 Rifle Section
...x4 Warrior
...x2 Pioneer Section
...x2 Warrior
2nd Peacekeeper APC Platoon
...x4 Peacekeepers
...x4 Fiat/OTO 661461
1st Peacekeeper Tank Platoon
...x4 M60 Mine Plough
+ …x4 Peacekeepers (see above)

Orders: Integrate units joining CATF(ATGMs, SPAs, APCs). Follow 4th Peacekeeper Company closely. Let them do the scouting. (after them, get over the bridge ASAP as well, then wait for the reinforcements!) If there are rebel elements in N, after 4th Pck Coy explored their strength and they seem weak, destroy them. If it seems that they are strong, do not press hard, just try to cause losses to them while avoiding friendly casualties.
Pck APC Platoons are to cover the flanks, while 1st Ukr. APC forming the bulk of the force, following 4th Pck Coy scouting for CATF. Tanks, UK Platoon and ATGM are to travel in the center, while SPAs following behind ready to give support.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Zone G

Strike Aircraft
...x2 Mirage F1 C

Orders: Help localize rebel movements ahead of moving CATF, support CATF with CAS wherever needed. Be aware of possible presence of enemy AAA.

AT Helicopter
...x1 Ka-50 Anti-Tank Helicopter

Orders: Scout for CATF, use TI equipment to localize rebel units. Be aware of the threat posed by rebel 23 mm AA-guns, as well as small-arms fire. (Stay over a friendly APC if possible, so that it can always give defensive smoke cover. Then fire through the smoke!) Hunt primarily for armour, then crew-served weapons. Mind security, it is our very best AT-asset!

[TF 1-37]

Lt. Gen Toth:

I am a little confused. Is the CATF moving into G, or just moving within N? I am assuming G since the airpower is there, but can't see where the orders for units in N say to move to G.
