Tally Ho......

We have been blessed with a Panzer Division Escort Company, most of it anyway

Im looking for orders for

Pz Division Escort Company HQ currently in Black H 76
1st Platoon HQ currently in Black C 75
1st Squad in Black E 76
2nd Squad in Black A 76
3rd Squad in Black C 76
1st Panzershrek Team in Black B 75
2nd Panzershrek Team in Black D 75
3rd Panzershrek Team in Black A 75
HMG Section HQ in Black D 75
HMG Team 1 in Black E 75
STUG in Black G 73
Recon Halftrack Black K 73

3rd Platoon HQ Black C 69
1st Squad Black C 70
2nd Squad Black A 70
3rd Squad Black E 70
Panzershrek Team 1 Black E 69
Panzershrek Team 2 Black B 69
Panzershrek Team 3 Black D 69

So 19 units in all - i doubt therell be 19 contributors so I suggest ill move the HQs on the understanding that theyll always be a few steps behind their squads unless you say different - i think that makes 12 different orders to issuue - well see how it goes - if after a day or two theres unassigned orders ill do it until interest hopefully picks up

Ill assume all movement commands will be 'move' unless you specify otherwise

Any other shortcomings ill guess well run into as we go

Good luck chaps

Maybe whoever elects to move the Panzershrek teams takes responsibility for the whole platoons (3)

Do you have a definite number of participants so that you can assign specific units to them?

The idea is it’s first come first serve - if you move the stug now someone next turn might move it - however it’s so gentlemanly here I imagine someone would ask permission to move ‘your’ tank but the idea is to move a unit of your choice not have specific ones assigned

However this is also a new direction and contributors can have their own men - so to speak

No, that's fine - I like the randomness of it and it may provide us with some interesting situations.

So something like this:

3rd Plt Pzsrk Team 1 in Black E69  runs to Red B60, ground floor
3rd Plt Pzsrk Team 2 in Black B69  runs to Red A61, ground floor
3rd Plt Pzsrk Team 3 in Black D69  runs to Red A59, ground floor

Unless there are alternate motives, and I will check for you, but as far as I know you can’t fire a Faust or a shrek out of a building

Got it. Don't want to fire from those positions. Just first move to...

Unfortunately, due to an issue with my eyesight, I can't see the map very well - but I wanted to try and move the STuG to support those guys that Vance has just moved. maybe a move to cover order. My idea was to get them to a position to cover the road.

Turns out you now can fire from within buildings if and when the needs arise
