    UPDATE: Most likely day we will drop will probably be Friday or Saturday as most people seem to be available those days. Upcoming dates are pending. Stay tuned for details.

    Hello childrens!

    I am thinking that we need to split. The question is, who goes to help Alpha, and who heads SW.

    We are in quite good shape following our tussle with 10 medium mech and we have an air strike for our next mission, so we make a great spearhead. However, Alpha got mauled pretty bad, so maybe our strength works better to counter their attrition.

    I am hoping we get word from Alpha on what they need. What are your plans? Will you be heading SW or would you want to hook up with Alpha? Asking Gamma the same question.

    make sure you guys are checking the most up to date map on roll20. also keep in mind that OpFor moves AFTER you guys. If they are in an adjacent hex, they could potentially be a problem for you if you let them box you in. There is also ramifications for getting double teamed by two different forces, so watch out for that. I can give you a more nuanced explanation on TS if needed.

    also, gm tip: the only enemies you SEE on the map right now, are those adjacent to you. There is definitely more on the field than you realize.

    updated.

    given the much greater emphasis on strategy with the inclusion of the world map, this thread will double as not only the place to set drop schedules, but also to discuss and plan map movement and cooperation with other lances and/or players.

    Taking that into cosideration we need to make sure we don't overextend ourselves this turn. We got banged up last time, and it won't do to bite off more than we can chew when we'll likely be below our optimal strength.

    since I'm GM, I can't really give and specific input on lance movement, but i will try to give general advice as needed.

    for Alpha lance, I defer to Trev. Trev? Ideas?

    Gamma is withdrawing NW.

    No clue what Betas plans are.

    No clue what Alphas plans are.

    Delta is fit as a fiddle and ready to rock.

    I was thinking, because there's a Base of Ops in the Hex Alpha is currently occupying, we should probably look to reinforce that position. Plus, with reinforcements we can tie down their Heavy forces. I'm open to suggestions though.

    Actually, I'm going to look at the Roll20 Map once I'm home and settled. I'll be online tonight to if we want to have a ad hoc Lance commander's meeting
