Buy Infantry at 4.06
Move 4.06 to 6.05, attack 7.04
Buy Infantry at 4.o5
Move 4.05 to 6.04, attack 7.04

[Stop here if the following isn't sufficient to take the supply cache, because that will change my strategy going forward]

3.00 to 5.01, attack 4.02, move to 4.02
2.04 to 5.03, attack 6.03
1.06 to 3.03
2.05 to 3.02
2.07 to 4.05
3.05 to 4.03

I think you can only deploy units to your IC or supply center and move it from there.

Dexander is (mostly) correct. This is not a legal move because units can only be deployed at ICs. They cannot be deployed at supply centers.

Well, that's disappointing.

Purchase Paratrooper, deploy at 8.04, attack 7.04
2.04 move to 6.04, attack 7.04

I'm only about 60% sure road bonuses work when you move off them, so I'll stop there for now for a map update.

It would cut 80% of your army off of supply, if my calculations are correct. They may not be, of course.

You cannot purchase paratroopers either.

You can purchase units but not non-units (supply caches, ICs, minefields, roads) or tokens or paratroopers, and you have to deploy said units at an IC you controlled at the start of your turn.

Roads apply when you move off them but not when you move on them.

I think I still might be able to make this work.

Purchase Artillery at 0.08, move to 4.05, attack 7.04
3.05 to 6.05, attack 7.04
2.04 to 6.04, if 7.04 has not been taken already, attack with 6.04.

Stop there, for now.

True and good plan indeed, have you been planning this with Aedan? You are leaving the keys of victory to Grey and Yellow.

So be it.

You mean 0.06? not 0.08, your IC is at 0.06.

I do. It's hard to read on the screen I'm using.

For TH, consider my orders reframed with that as the starting point. I was working from there anyway, so the orders should still work.

I also have a shift in a couple minutes, so orders won't come until late.
