I am super excited to be commanding in a scrim for the very first time! I'm using Bommando's and Santa's posts as a template for my own, please don't hesitate to ask questions or give feedback! My tactic map with graphics is posted on ATC and I'll copy it here as soon as I figure out how!



A note about the roster: I didn't break it up into spiffy units like 1st and 7th like Bom did because I'm just not cool enough like that. Sorry in advance! If you want to move to another squad for some reason, or you don't want to be squad leader, send me a PM.

Tactical Overview

As the ATC shows, there are 3 initial objectives:
1. Squads 1 and 2 (via transport helo) capture the Fish Factory
2. Squads 3 and 6 move on North Island
3. Squads 4 and 7 move on West Perimeter

With pressure on the neutral flags, even if they cannot be successfully held, USMC is forced to concentrate troops there. They will have to "waste" a squad defending the North Perimeter or I will send a transport helo with a fire team (or even a BH) to capture it. Once the Fish Factory is secure, squad 2 will defend it while squad 1 advances to the West Perimeter. All squads should have control of armor, when possible.

A consideration discussed last night was that the USMC might overtake our base and a "base swap" would occur. To avoid this:

-Squads 3 and 6 stay mobile in case movement is needed
-Utilize 50cals and AA gun (yeah right!) to defend against incoming choppers
-Spotting is everyone's responsibility - It helps everyone (and ME!) be aware of enemy movement, so Spot Dem Choppers/APCs!

Kit Selection

The APCs in this map can take down infantry if left unchecked. Kit selection is the squad leader's responsibility, but I recommend including an engineer, at least one AT, and a support guy (and of course all squads should have a medic!)

Initial Rollout

Squad 1

Attack Fish Factory.

Move via transport helo, wait to spawn until squad leader arrives. Attack from west using building as cover. If multiple attempts fail, will receive orders to spawn at Central Front to assault North Island.

Squad 2

Attack Fish Factory.

Move via transport helo, wait to spawn until squad leader arrives. Attack from east with heavy fire/suppression, serving as distracting/suppressing force. If multiple attempts fail, will receive orders to spawn at South Front to assault South Island.

Squad 3

Attack North Island.

Move via Light Jeep, and bring up 1 APC. Mobility is extremely important as your squad may be called to defend the Chinese HQ so always keep jeeps in position. Do not let USMC take control of the North Island APC.

Squad 4

Attack North Island.

Move via Light Jeep, and bring up the APC. Taking tickets is your main priority (even though holding South Island gets you a kiss!). You are the bringers of death. Do not let USMC get control of the South Island APC.

Squad 5

Defend Chinese HQ

Your role is supremely important and you are the only squad primarily responsible for base defense. You need mines, C4, mines, a scout, did I say mines? You can send one man in a light jeep to Central Front at the start of the round to bring an extra APC. I will give plenty of advance notice if troops move for the HQ and send units from squads 3 and 6 to flank an enemy attack. If this position fails, you will spawn at Central Front and defend while waiting for orders to attempt recapture.

Squad 6

Defend Central Front, Attack North Island/North Perimeter, Defend Chinese HQ (in that order. )

You two guys will be busy and your objective might change often! Stay mobile by maintaining a light jeep for your use.

Squad 7

Attack South Island, Defend South Front

Your objective will change, but initially, you will join the assault on South Island moving via light jeep, and change to defense of South Front as soon as the USMC breaks through to assault it.

Endgame Scenarios

If assaults on the USMC HQ (Fish Factory) continue to fail, squads 1 and 2 will strengthen the assaults on North and South Islands. We will continue to harass the North Perimeter via a fast capture element if they leave it undefended. Once we have ticket bleed using any 5 flags, switch to a defensive mode until you have new orders to assault.

If the Fish Factory capture is successful, we will capture the West Perimeter and be in a very good position to capture (or at least bully) North and South Island from both sides, and could even force all troops to North Perimeter.


Commander's Pet Peeves

-Do NOT make yourself an artillery target! Squad leaders, have your forces split into fire teams, or use some other tactic that keeps from creating a jumble of red dots. Use cover and stay low when possible!

-Request supply drops when they are available, first come, first served!

-Never, ever, ever leave a base completely naked (undefended) unless your orders are "Abandon current position, and......." Exceptions, fast capture element will always abandon current position, and the first assault of a round may be with the full squad.

I know we'll have a great time and I know we'll deliver one hell of a spankin' (the good kind ) tomorrow!

Kisses,
Sassy
