Default Re: SaS TrooP: 3 Royal Tank Regiment 1940-45

Additional Order: Colonel Penny orders 3rd Company, 1st Bn, Queen Victoria's Rifles (currently main holding force of "Two Forts") to EXCHANGE positions with entire 1st Bn, The Rifle Brigade (currently holding "Marck").
This is obvious now that enemy will not advance head on Calais with significant force, given the intercepted commands. I want The Rifle Brigade to use and surely to EXPAND defensive position previously held by Queen Victoria's (I want everyone to dug-in). I am detaching searchlight company from Lembertye for extra shovels supporting The Rifle Brigade in their digging mission. Yet, if speed is too slow, commander of The Rifle Brigade battalion is ALLOWED to force civilian population (men only and near-adult teenage boys) into fortifying.

Exhance of positions is to occur by jumps: One platoon of Victoria's switching with full company of The Rifles. This will prevent mass of untrenched troops in the perimeter, should Germans bombard with artillery. If artillery bombardment occures, I recommend commander of The Rifles Battalion to send untrenched troops slightly to the back as mobile reserve.

AT Guns are already entrhenched, I do not think their positions require fixing.

If any of the commanders considers it nuts, I want to hear the objections.
