He is an equal opportunity hater though as the butcher's bill for our Marines would also be considerable.

I thni kwe should continue the advance in E for one more turn and place reserves into F to gain the pre determined line of advance we worked out earlier. Support assets are avalaible to launch both attacks.

Ground Situation:
Alpha - The enemy could maintain the momentum of his attack and gain further ground.
Bravo - The defending units of the 7th Regiment could hold the line.
Charlie - An enemy assault could not be stopped and the enemy gained significant ground.
Delta - An enemy attack was repulsed with minor casualties.
Echo - The area between Inglewood Cemetary and Hawthorne Airport was already known as "Hamburger Alley", when the two sides clashed yet again. Despite Tank support, the USMC suffered serious casualties and had to give up previously gained ground.
Foxtrot - An attack by the USMC was partially successful and gained ground in the western part of the section.
1st Division suffered 106 casualties, thereof 29 dead, and received 60 replacements. The enemy had probably roughly equal casualties.
Air Situation:
Recent Air Combat has been rather even, hence the Superiority rating remains 1.
Support Troops:
All Support Troops report ready for duty except the 2nd Air Wing, which will be available at 10:30 AM.
(Deadline is Wednesday 4 PM Forum Time. I intend to make updates Wednesday, Friday and Sunday this week)
Good question. Reinforcing A with at least a company to counter their northern advance would be a good start. We should probably dig in at E and focus on A-C for a while.
reinforcing A looks like a good move. The situation in the south is yet to reach the objectives that have been determined and we cannot let another Airport fall into enemy hands let alone the strategic value of losing it to the enemy. We should also reinforce E to assist the counter attack and press on in F until we reach the objective line.
OK.
I will drop my company in Sector A.
The others can concentrate on buffing up Sector E.
Attacks in E and F.
Roger and Wilco.
Options
Just a thought for the GM.
Let each brigade have control of organic support elements.
Their effect would be to either reduce (by a small amount) human casualties for the supported unit, or increase enemy fatalities for the targeted foe, commanders choice.
The player may assign the support to ONE company in his brigade each turn.

Interesting idea. Although I would not add support to a single unit due to the "frontline sector"-concept in combat resolution. What we could do is, that (based on a die roll) one CO per round had the possibility to choose one support unit and attach it to a frontline sector. Maybe something like this:
Artillery - increases enemy casualties
Medical - Decreases own casualties
IFV platoon - Increases territory gain
TOW platoon - Decreases territory loss
What do you guys think about something like that?

Ground Situation:
Alpha - The enemy attack gained further ground and the defending units had to retreat.
Bravo - An enemy assault was repulsed with light casualties.
Charlie - The defending 1st Regiment faced another assault and due to fierce resistance only suffered minor territorial losses.
Delta - The frontline had to be taken back after another enemy attack.
Echo - In another severe combat both sides suffered heavy casualties, but the USMC could make minor gains.
Foxtrot - The USMC tried to keep up the momentum of the recent attack, but the enemy could hold the line and inflict serious casualties among the Marines.
1st Division suffered 125 casualties, thereof 40 dead, and received 71 replacements. The enemy had probably lower casualties.
Air Situation:
The recent air combat was even and the Superiority rating remains 1.
Support Troops:
All support troops are ready for duty except the Tank Battalion, which will be available again at 11:00 AM.

Interesting Turn report.
Five units in sector F.
Two of them on 'Advance' orders, the remainder (along with every other unit in First Brigade) on Static defense.
Yet even with the majority of the units ordered to defend, the attack still went forward?

Sigh, that order mismatch certainly didn't need to happen.
Considering that the enemy main focus firmly lies in the south now I would suggest to revert to defensive orders in E and F now and focus on fixing the northern advance.

Before I decide whether to dine in or order take out, what is the current guidance from the Division HQ?
A shift in operation towards A,B or C does seem advisable perhaps to reclaim much that has been lost as this northern sector lost importance after the fall of the first airport. We should try to organize an offensive in the north to at least try and divert some of the enemy forces in the south northwards.
Sector C is the weakest of our sectors listed for offensive operations, and thus should benefit most from additional troops in an attack.
Would the Division commander be able to wake up First Brigade in time to take part in combat?
Not sure their commander has lately been cutting all contact with divisionally command. It is possible there commander has been compromised by the enemy. Or that he thinks he can win this war by himself.
Ugh.
Is it possible to relieve him till the matter is cleared up?
I believe his XO, LTC Randakar is well briefed on the current tactical situation.
