Per Kolstrup:
Will we be attacking from west to east? If so, we'll have the sun in our eyes. Uh-oh.
Yes, we're attacking from west to east.
If we attack from east to west and everything goes wrong in a big way (e.g. we are getting our arses kicked on land and the Fishermen's fleet have been sunk so can't pick us up) we've got very little room to manoeuvre (we'd eventually run out of land and have Russian controlled Kaliningrad at our back).
Attacking from west to east we have the option to fall back by land in the direction of Katy Rybackie if we have to.
The reverse of that is that if we attack from east to west and score a stunning success there's nothing to stop the pirates escaping in the direction of Katy Rybackie, so getting away to fight another day.
So I think the pros of attacking from west to east outweigh the con. Also, Kessler and Walsh have really cool sunglasses. :)
Francis 'Frank' Benucci:
Frank raises his hand for a question and waits to be recognized. "I know we're fighting a a team/unit but, are we working individually, smaller fire teams within our element(s), battle buddies?"
Unless anyone has any preferences to the contrary I'd suggest splitting the assault into two teams as follows:
McCarthy - TL
Babicevs
Riedel
O'Brien
Ferro - TL
Walsh
Price
Benucci
I don't think we need to break it down any further at this stage.
Support Group (including LOSA attachments are as follows):
Kessler - GP30
Kolstrup - Marksman
Fischer / Anna - Carl Gustav Team
Czerny - AGS 30
Lines / Andropov - MAG MG
Janku / Aleksandr - Mortar
Piszczek / LOSA Militia #1 - Reserve
LOSA Militia #2 and #3 - SVD/M16A2-M203
Gdansk Militia x 6 - Reserve
Re the support group and the excess equipment, that only needs to be carried during the four kilometre hike. Once we're in position that will all be offloaded.
Re putting a team on the wreck, I agree with Mark's IC post that it would be a big task for a small team to secure it. That said, I'm all in favour of people having their characters where they want them to be so if Rae wants to have Per do it as per his IC post that's fine with me. We'd still need him to carry the tripod while we move into position though (as noted above, it can be offloaded once we reach the support group's position.
If there's anything else people think we've missed / overlooked please say. We've tried to cover everything that we could think of but as Mark said earlier we've both been pretty busy this week.
