Manning looks good so far - but we need a CO and hopefully XO 😄 Also plenty of room - including for new guys or people who needs to brush off the cobwebs !

GOGOGO

I thought you was this guy: Making me this guy: 😁

OBSERVE: This manning is organizational. Which is to say that the callsigns might have changed slightly due to attrition.

We love playing with you all, the arranger and CO loves you even more if you sign up in advance 😁 CG37_Battle_of_the_Gaps_KANIUM_v3K-2 Excerpts of the battalion commander's orders for... CG37 Battle of the Gaps 2 June 2020 0130 L Slight drizzle giving way to a dry day It is 24 Hours since we forced the Pilna River. The enemy are now forced onto the defensive. We are attacking in the early hours to catch them before they are fully ready. We intend to maintain our momentum by pushing further South and taking their logistics hub at Gravenmaer. The open terrain gives way to a series of valleys which breaks up both attacking and defending forces on the route South. Lateral communication largely depends on control of the mountain gaps. Terrain to the East of the River Allerode is more open 1) SITUATION: a) Enemy: The enemy is frantically organising a defence in depth to delay our advance. Defence consists of strongpoints, delaying forces of Motorised infantry in some towns backed by dug in tanks. Enemy has one reinforced Battalion of T90 as his mobile reserve. Identified composition is estimated as: 1 x Btn T90 with, potentially, 1 extra Coy as last ditch Reserve 2 x weakened Coy of T72 - mainly m4 (incl 1 xPLT T90) largely dug in to reinforce Motorised Inf defenders 1 x Reinf Coy Mech (BMP2) 1 x Reinf Coy Motorised Inf (BTR 80) Assorted ENY Recon assets including BRDM-2´s Assorted ENY AA assets in the South Deployed missile teams are present in defence areas in numbers Also potential for 1 x PLT Tanks and 1 X PLT Mech on call from Hivanger Moderate Artillery support. We have not given them time to prepare any Minefields or other obstacles so have removed the mineplows from your Tanks. Any obstacles will be in the form of improvised, such as Abatis. The Motorised infantry is scattered among the many towns and the BMP2 will likely be used as more mobile defence Enemy defence is complicated by having to determine our various axis of attack thus splitting his forces. b) Own: TF Dagger will kick off the offensive with TF Mace as reserve TF Dagger 2 x Coy M1A2 (AVEPS) retained until Leopards refitted 1 x Coy CV90-40 (AVEPS) (inf and Spike) 1 x PLT (2 sections) VEC 1 x UAV 2 X CSS ( 2 supply, 1 ARV 1 x Medic) 6 x UH60 with Inf and Spike (care enemy SAM cover further South) TF Mace Similar Compostion except only 1 x CSS and No UH60 Will be committed when enemy AFV North of PL Oak is less than 4 An additional 1 x Co CV90 is on half hour call from North East if PC losses become severe c) Attachments and detachments: 3 Batteries off Board Fire Support with HE, Smoke and 120 rounds of ICM per tube 5 x Airstrike 2) MISSION: - Clear all Gaps of enemy AFV - Clear East Bank River Allerode - Clear enemy up to PL Sycamore (reduced to no more than 1 PLT equivalent of AFV North of PL Sycamore) You will be advised as each Objective is achieved and need all 3 to be in status of achieved for 5 mins 3) EXECUTION: Intent: Given the geography of the terrain you may undetake the mission objectives in any order and do not have to attack all axis at the same time. Well co-ordinated attacks on the enemy strongpoints will be necessary although most are not strongly held Early start may limit enemy ability to spot our opening moves and somewhat limit his ATGM´s effectiveness in the initial phase 5) COMMAND AND SIGNALS: CO controls fires and UAV but may hand off if required COMMS per SOP UPDATE FROM S2: It seems you have cleared the North - at least in the East. ENY has activated all his reserves: from INTEL it seems that he has no more to add at this time. Progress good - continue the good work !

Perfection: We are now fully operational: But we still have plenty of seat to what promises to be a tough fight with plenty of pewpew and boomboom ! No @Zaphod ... that only sounds lewd to you ... 🤣

Ahem ... Good Sir: Does that include CO ... ? 😁

I have switched seats per input and by my best judgment - post if this is not in line with everyones wishes. Also: We need a CO and preferably a XO

Thank you and I will: just need to sort everything out

Umm ... colebrook already took that: A34 ... ?

SÖ ... Manning is looking good - but we still have rööm før möre... And that includes a CO and XO ...

Kanium Sunday 12th of September CG36 South to the Pilna by ChrisReb (CAMPAIGN 3 of 4) Important: all are welcome naturally to participate in ALL the scenarios of this campaign. But you do NOT need to be able to attend more than this to sign one up, which goes for ALL the scenarios in the campaign ! Where: Kanium TS : teamspeak3.i3d.net:10077 World Clock 1800 GMT (Same time as always in Europe - adjusted for Daylight Savings Time: click the time below for your local time) World clock 1800 GMT IMPORTANT NOTICE: This SB session may be recorded with video and sound and uploaded, including to a public youtube channel.

AS always, then we are running the session with the latest version of Steelbeasts. Everybody is Welcome: you don't have to belong to Kanium. We love playing with you all, the arranger and CO loves you even more if you sign up in advance 😁 Excerpts of the battalion commander's orders for... CG36 South to the Pilna 7AM 1 June 2020 Weather Mist with vis 1000 m for first hour and then improving. After our seizure of the enemy staging areas a week ago command wishes to exploit South. We did want to press forward sooner but a weeks pause has been necessary for 2 reasons: a) Many of our Leopards needed refitting especially given their considerable barrel wear. This is still ongoing so they have been replaced with M1A2 (AVEP) iun view of the importance of your operaration. b) Given the open nature of much of the terrain we have also been waiting for reduced visibilty to allow us to close with the enemy 1) SITUATION: a) Enemy: Regrettably the time has been used by the enemy to make defensive dispositions including minefields Potential minefields (surface laid) are marked but not all will deployed yet. Initially only very light forces are thought to be deployed between the 2 Enemy boundary lines marked. We previously spotted only scouts between the lines and less than a Mech Company around the second defence line. Care: Missile teams are known to be deployed in the Operational area. The static element of the main enemy defences North of the Pilna is thought to be around 1 Mech Company supported by T72 in static positions. Towns are not thought to be heavily occupied as recent days have seen single vehicles and troops on security details in those areas and where confirmed are marked as strongpoints. The main mobile enemy forces in the region consist of 1 full strength Battalion of T90 and another understrength mixed force of T90 and BMP2/3 of approx 2 Companies. The defence line of the Pilna River has around 2 Coy of lower grade troops with T72 and BTR. Enemy has moderate artillery support and will most likely have pre planned missions on call. Therefore do not dwell in likely choke points like major bridges (but then you knew that didn't you...). b) Own: TF Mace 2 x PLT Vec 1M (remainder of previous force) 2 x Coy M1A2 (AVEP) No 3 PLT with mineplow 1 x Coy CV90 Inf and 1 or 2 Spike per PLT 1 X CSS (2 Supply 1 Recovery 1 Medic) 1 Deployed UAV 1 HQ with deployable UAV 3 x SF Squads forward deployed Reinforcements TF Dagger Composition as above - released to you when you have at least 8 Callsigns accross PL Axe showing higher command you are making sufficient progress c) Attachments and detachments: 2 x UH60 are inbound with Inf and Spike and you will be advised when they arrive. 1 x On map M1064A3 battery (6 x tubes) of indirect support with limited Multispectral smoke and organic supply trucks 3 x Off map support with 120 rounds ICM and 4 priority markers 2) MISSION: Clear enemy forces from North of Pilna River (NB: ON ADVICE THIS HAS BEEN ACHIEVED PLAYER MAY PULL TRIGGER 1 FOR A TACTICAL WIN) 2a) ADDITIONAL MISSION Establish a force (min 7 callsigns) South of the Pilna River for 5 mins - OPERATIONAL VICTORY (NB: TRIGGER 1 CAN STILL BE CALLED AT ANY TIME BUT ACHIEVEMENT OF THIS GIVES OPPOTUNTY FOR FURTHER OFFENSIVE ACTION TO THE SOUTH) 3) EXECUTION: Intent: a) Concept of Operation: You need to penetrate the initial enemy forward lines and then close up and defeat the main defence line North of the Pilna river. Enemy mobile forces will attempt to regain the intiative by punative counter attacks. If able cross the Pilna River and establish a bridgehead. Open areas will be covered by direct fires including ATGM. You have no major engineering assets so minefields will need to be bypassed where prossible - you do have some mineplow tanks in case this is not possible 5) COMMAND AND SIGNALS: Blue CO has Indirect fires under his control along with the UAV although he may hand any of this off. Trigger 1 is owned by the CO and also by the XO unit so don't lose them both. Go take it to them!!

We have good manning and will solve all when we join in TS

Minor change to Recon: SwordsmanDK cant join tonight sadly

... 🤨 ... I bet you thought that sentence in French didnt you ... ? 😁

So status right now is that we have slots for 3 x TNK, 2 x MECHINF and possibly for one to handle all the rest

I have slotted you as PLT LDR as that was needed most 😃 also ... Congrats @Battle Bureaucrat and @Zaphod: you have both received field promotions as @Major duck might be slightly delayed 😁

Um ... well thats fine especially if you do that in the PLT you are in right now 😁 Also Major Duck might not be able to be there at the end due to time constraints so can you and @Battle Bureaucrat maybe think about who wants to be the PLT LDR ... ? 😍

He does now ... 😁 Also there are many things we do every week to make it work ... and he volunteered SO ... As @Mirzayev is stepping up as XO to facilitate a good start for Pancho (and we need more players like him taking on the mantle of CO), we then need a leader for his Platoon as well as a few more men and another PLT LDR. None mentioned none forgotten ... ahem ... @Hedgehog @tankenator @Colebrook

We have a CO, so well done Pancho - Maybe @Hedgehog for FO to assist maybe? OR even better as PLT LDR for 1/3/B then Mirz can XO?
