Turn 1 end
The initial spotter plane run was a bit risky it took fire the next one from a Gold Spot will hopefully be safer.
Early to say for sure but I would say there are no tanks situated in the open ground this side of the treeline.
Russian defence is different no wire anywhere this time.
A & G - Units on the flanks are just there to try & get eyes on ATGs in case they have been deployed there again.
C - Will split either side of the road & take position before heading down it, I expect the road to be mined so it could be faster to pass elsewhere. Artillery will be likely here also in my view.
D - Will spread a bit also on its way to the gap in the woods, had hoped C & D could go undetected I thought the high grass would block LOS from X & Y as road is at zero but had to place smoke as it does not. Will need more around D or to risk exposure, all AT Teams are with groups C+D.
E - All HMG & 2 snipers are here but kick off delayed due to artillery.
F - The 2 squads here are checking LOS for the tanks as some tree hexes are slightly raised so should give decent views across the high grass.
All pine trees are dense, mixed trees are just that around 50:50 dense transparent.
Not sure what to do with South Forces once we go much past the deploy line tanks will be susceptible to flank shots. Pushing hard with D to get eyes on the clear area in the East may be a priority.
