Hedgehog Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Yah, I'll go with Walrus! (Zipster loves his Walrus' ) So I guess we're Walrus 31, 32, 33 & 34? (Me, Tjay, OldRaven & Crusty) No it doesn't, but there is the minibar... Whaaat???!!! You Continental Upstarts!!! You Coffee Drinkers!!! The shame!! How are you supposed to keep the infantry morale up after 3 days operations??! Right I'll have to do something about this. *Tinkers with engine cooling loop* The first Real tankers drank tea during WWI, so real tankers drinks tea, wannabe-tankers drinks coffe 'xactly I'm imagining a german Tank Commander sitting on top of his King Tiger.. drinking a cup of tea..nah.. there's something wrong with that picture :biggrin: That is because he is a continental upstart of a tanker. He is more likely to be drinking high powered coffee out a cup thats 6 sizes too small. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjay Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 *sucks teeth*Ohhh I dunno then. You'll probably end up being the tea bitch. :biggrin: Tjay = RAF Standard (White, no sugar.) Crusty = RAF Standard (How do you have your Tea, Crusty?) Hedge = RAF Standard + 1/2 a sugar (if you can find it) Negatory! Tjay = NATO Standard (Strong, condensed milk, two sugars). Unless it is after 16:30, in which case tea is preferable. After 18:00 a single malt taken from a hipflask is acceptabe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjay Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 No it doesn't, but there is the minibar... Yup - everyone fills in one of those little slips saying what they've used and hands it to the QM at the end of each day. At the end of the exercise you are presented with a bill amounting to two months salary. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duke(911) Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 (edited) Orders Cdr NBG: 1.situation a)enemy: Mechanized enemy forces are attacking north-east from Kouvola, through Valkeala towards Mikkeli. Their point of main effort is along Highway 15. The attack has left the main supply route vulnerable for our counterattacks, and the enemy has tied up resources to counter that threat. At Valkeala we estimate a mixed company size ad-hoc force has moved in to hold the town. They have recently arrived, meaning they are not heavily dug-in. Drone recon has spotted T-72 tanks moving in and unidentified IFVs along with at least one Tunguska SPAA vehicle moving in the town. Further information on the enemy location and forces is not available, but it's estimated they have had time to lay some protective minefields and build some rudimentary obstacles only. They also have a big area to hold, so they may be thinly spread. The enemy should have some indirect support available, but only in small numbers, a battery of SPA maximum. The enemy is believed to also have a local quick reaction reserve force ready to counter any activity along Highway 15 between Kouvola and Valkeala. Strenght is unknown, but estimated being a mixed company maximum. Enemy air activity has ceased due to the weather and casualties during this operation. b)Own: NBG is in full strenght with Finnish mech inf coy (+tank platoon), swedish armour coy and danish support coy. The force is deployed north of Valkeala, ready to attack with full ammunition and fuel. NBG is supported by a Norwegian SPA battery of 12 tubes (HE and SMOKE). Friendly air assets are tasked with denying the enemy air superiority, and there is no fixed wing close air support available for now. c)structure: BG CO: Duke(911) BG FO: Falli FI company CO: Zipuli - mech platoon A (CV9030) --> Induction - mech platoon B (CV9030) --> Ronin (Grenny), Stevo - mech platoon C (CV9030) --> Hedgehog, Tjay, Crusty, OldRavenNL - tank platoon D (Leopard 2A4) --> Eisenschwein,Ricopico, Mirzayev, Panzer_Leader SE company CO: --> Furia SE company XO: --> McCoy - tank platoon A (Strv 122) --> Regimentos - tank platoon B (Strv 122) --> Tacbat, 12Alfa, Tango29 - mech platoon C (CV9040C) --> Chuikov, (1 Regimento?) - mech platoon D (CV9040C) --> Brun, Grimlokk DK company CO: Kingtiger - engineer platoon --> Gibsonm - logistics platoon (ARV, medic, repair, ammunition) d)Weather and Terrain Conditions: The first snow has fallen. The land is frosty, so it should not be too soft for vehicles, except the swamp areas...? Lakes are not yet frozen deep enough to support men or vehicles. The temperature is -5 celcius, and it's snowing lightly, reducing the visibility to ~1000m. e)Other: The town of Valkeala is evacuated of any civilians, so there are no ROE limitations in this mission. 2.mission: NBG is to clear the main routes (R, G, B) through the town of Valkeala, and to cut Highway 15 (OBJ 15), preventing the enemy from resupplying his attack force via HW15. 3.execution My intention: Is to attack with recon elements in front, along highway 368 with Swedish coy (point of Main effort) and eastwards highway 368 with Finnish coy, to VALKEALA.
