Yo, if we want to just send it, we might want to reach out to the west flank, so they know to go when we go rather than continue to wait for Hooker's fuck-fuck circus to give them the go-ahead.

That does sound like a very good idea, but unfortunately that's not part of the vote! It's launch now or plan vote! Though it would be a decent plan to reach out to more War Bureau regiments.

TBH next time you decide to cry havoc and let slip the hounds of war, that wouldn't be a bad plan. Issue is, I take cues from the thread, and the thread did not lean towards "fucken send it YEET", so it didn't come up. That said, starting an Operation is always exclusive with a Turn Vote. Each turn is two weeks, and Op Start takes three to nine days: moving shit to jump-off points, prepping supplies, arranging train schedules, final planning, putting out bulletins in town halls, blocking off operational radio frequencies, et cettera ad nauseum. The more Planning Bonus you have, the less time this takes: it's already been done, but you can't try and plan too much shit out before. Generally you stop getting operational speed bonuses at +2 or +3 Planning.

[X] Plan Gas Brakes

I think jumping the gun won't just affect relations with Hooker. It will also have the rest of the War Bureau wonder about whether or not we'll will go off and do our own thing if they try to coordinate with us.

For those not on discord, Orr decided to call "Send it." and the brigade responded with a heartily enthusiastic "On the way!".

Be scared. The French infantry are smiling.
 
White Horse Brigade: "Raid" on Weathered Expanse
  • Sidestory
    • holy fuck the rolls on this one.

    +1 Intelligence (Commandos)
    -1 Assaulting Concrete
    -1 Signals Jamming

    29 Uhlans: 7, +2 planning, +2 intelligence, -1 concrete, -1 jamming. Sum 9, passes.

    Supply
    9 Sustainment: 5, +2 planning, +2 intelligence, -1 concrete, -1 jamming. Sum 7, passes, supplies Artillery.
    42 Sustainment: 7, +2 planning, +2 intelligence, -1 concrete, -1 jamming. Sum 9, passes.

    1/11 Infantry: 3 +2 planning, +2 intelligence, +1 Armor Support, +2 Overflow, -1 concrete, -1 jamming. Sum 8, passes.

    Conclusions

    15 Flying Artillery: Flawless demonstration of cavalry artillery: units fire quickly, rotating back to the supply dump to exchange for loaded weapons systems to continue persecuting fixed defenses. Non-concrete fieldworks broken, concrete fieldworks damaged and becoming cut off.
    64 Chasseures a Char: With supporting structures on the flanks broken, the 64e does not "go nuts" so much as wrap up large amounts of the fortification, taking advantage of fragile pattern construction and a lack of internal redabouts and blind spots. Armor runs rampant, while attached infantry secure lines of retreat to allow refuel, resupply, and most importantly, re-entry. This allows the 64e to completely leapfrog the advance past the Border Decay Zone.
    62 Infantry: Moving through the rubble of the initial defensive lines, the 62 Infantry are less responsable for conducting assault actions as they are for catching and defending against the multitude of Colonial counter-advances. With their advanced positions, the artillery and headquarters units can start clearing Rapid Decay, and begin bombarding The Weathering Halls directly.
    1/11 Infantry: With the majority of the fortifications handled, it falls to the 11e to directly assault into the defenses at Weathering Halls. This goes fairly well for an urban assault, and doctrinally-provided for busses and regular decay allows them to cleanly operate despite massive casualties as expected from an urban engagement. Supporting artillery fires and armored efforts to prohibit resupply and to destroy mortar houses and garrison houses ensure the assault goes well, with both Safe House and Town Hall being cracked fairly easily.

    Summary

    Forts Albert, Emile, Izod, destroyed in total. Weathering Halls captured. Forts Oscar and Ulysses under fire. Shattered Advance under fire. Fort Yves under fire. Defensive line drawn and begining to be be fortified at Weathering Halls Tile Border. Transportation is normal, and semi-permanent bunker bases are going down. 42e Sustainment requests more busses and a hospital section to reduce traffic to and from the border base, which will expire soon.

    • Is the fluff for this going to be the Colonials being positioned to crush the long waiting naval landing before turning back to deal with any land attack, leaving the land border to just their fixed positions? Allowing for mobile units to be turned back piecemeal by our own attack forces.

    As someone who hasn't played Foxtrot, how important/useful is us having captured the Weathering Halls point of interest?
