As I understand it, enemy casualty reports aren't that accurate. We might have kicked their rears, or the other way around.
I say we push at least once more in Sector E and depending on how it goes we can consider counter attacking in F as an alternative. We need to begin trying to drive the enemy back into the sea. If don't do it soon there is a small chance currently undetected reinforcements could begin arriving.
So the plan is to attack in E one more time and then switch our focus to F? I'll send in the order but I have severe misgivings about this course of action. But as the last page showed people have radically different assumptions on what makes a game fun and I doubt that anybody will change their position.
In any case, after these two turns our manpower situation will be going from very bad to absolutely critical.

Hello, Marines.
I have made a change in section 4 of the rules:
These Support Battalions were supposed to give the human players an advantage in battle (what they do), but concentrating all Battalions in one sector gives you a -4 Bonus to the die roll, which means more or less risk-free "win button". That`s not how it is supposed to work.
Thandros will have to alter his orders, but he has still more than 24 hours to do so.
Thank you.

I would only do this if you are absolutely sure that changing this won't alter the outcome of the game.

Staff Sergeant Kim sat down and grabbed his canteen for some water. He took a few seconds and looked around. It was in the middle of the night and dark. At least it should have been, but the fires of burning houses provided some light and made the scenery rather creepy.
The Inglewood Avenue was more or less in flames. Both sides seemed to focus on this part of the theater and right now neither side could gain a significant advantage. Both sides paid a decent price for the control of this territory.
His company had some casualties, but right on the street he could see a dead Alien, indicating that the enemy was not immortal either. He looked at the corpse. They looked strange. Slightly larger than the average human, but more slim. Nevertheless they could carry heavy weapons with ease. He wondered, what they were thinking right now. He wondered, how all this would end.
Right now, no end was in sight. And he and his men would do their best to not be on the losing side of this conflict.

yYYY's body crumpled to the street.

Ground Situation:
Alpha - The enemy started a successful attack and could gain some ground.
Bravo - The enemy assaulted the positions held by the Marines and the latter had to retreat and the enemy could make a major advance eastward.
Charlie - An enemy assault was repelled at considerably low cost.
Delta - The enemy attack continued and could gain some ground.
Echo - Severe fighting with Air Support from both sides occurred, laying waste to several buildings and causing casualties among the ground troops. No side could gain fire superiority and the frontline remained where it is.
Foxtrot - The enemy tried to gain ground but was repelled after heavy fighting occurred.
1st Division had 122 casualties, thereof 38 dead, and received 125 replacements. The enemy had probably roughly equal casualties.
Air Situation:
The Air Combat was rather even and the Superiority rating remains at 1.
Support Troops:
The Tank and both Recon Battalions as well as 1st Air Wing are ready for duty. 2nd and 3rd Air Wing will be available again at 01:30 AM.
(Deadline is Friday, 4 PM Forum Time)
:rofl:
Although I think these names might cause some confusion even among the Aliens.
It's a tonal language.
I am picturing the alien language as something that took the worst features of Chinese and Finnish and combined them. One more reason to kill them with fire.
Anyway, I am setting E to static for now.

You think ther's a plan for day 1 (or 2?) of an Alien Invasion?
Adorable.
Perhaps we should shift spare troops to sector F to take the offensive in that sector.
