OK.
1. Who to strip from front lines as a reserve to deploy in mass?
2. Continue with attack in A?

I am planning to move out the most beat up units from E (and exchange them with "fresh" units from B) but this will take a few turns to complete. Just FYI.
So, is this counter-attack in E scheduled for this or the next turn, oh mighty General?
If we procrastinate then the fall of the airport seems likely so lets try to throw what troops we have into the meat grinder and hit back now perhpas while they are out of position after their successful offensive.
OK, I've ordered an advance there.
A question for our GM: can we transfer strength between companies in the same sector?

Might want to add that to the rules section for future iterations.
EDIT: While we are on the subject, why would we want to combine companies?
Is there some rule that a 50 person company fights less than half as well as a 100 person unit?

Ground Situation:
Alpha - An enemy attack was repelled with light casualties.
Bravo - The enemy could gain significant ground, when the defending units were not able to hold he frontline.
Charlie - Another enemy attack was stopped with only light casualties.
Delta - The defending units, due to recent relocations outnumbered, had to retreat after an enemy attack.
Echo - The enemy tried to continue his assault, but was repelled by reinforced defensive units, with the USMC regaining the recently lost area.
Foxtrot - No hostilities
1st Division suffered 73 casualties, thereof 18 dead, and received 76 replacements. The enemy had probably clearly higher casualties.
Air Situation:
The air combat was rather even recently, hence the Superiority rating remains 1.
Support Troops:
1st Recon Battalion as well as 1st and 2nd Air Squad are ready for duty. Tank Battalion, 2nd Recon Battalion and 3rd Air Squad will be available again at 09:30 AM.

Private, see that guy sitting way up there in that high seat?
Run over there and ask him "what now"?

Having examined our situation an offensive doctrine is the only one capable of achieving ultimate victory. I suggest we push in E until the enemy is back at the 405,105 junction and then Push F until that sector is against the 105 and then D until that sector is against the 405 At which point an offensive in A,B and C can be launched to drive the enemy back to the 405 in the northern sectors at which point we will be in a position to retake the international airport from enemy forces. DO I have any alternative suggestions?
Not from me.
So next turn attack in E.
Eventually, once that advance achieves its goal, switch the offense to another sector.
Works for me.
I would suggest the continue the offensive in E for one more turn and then switch our focus to another sector regardless of the outcome. We want to add a bit more unpredictability to catch the aliens' support weapons out of position.
Sorry for the delay people, but I have an awful lot to do at the moment. But there will be updates tomorrow and on Sunday. :blush:

Ground Situation:
Alpha - The defending units had moderate casualties and had to retreat due to an enemy attack.
Bravo - An enemy assault could get stopped with only light casualties.
Charlie - The frontline could be held with light casualties.
Delta - An enemy attack was repulsed with light casualties.
Echo - Both sides tried to gain ground called in air support, but in the end the USMC could regain lost ground again and inflict high casualties among the enemy lines. During this event, platoon commander Lieutenant Paolo De Rossi from B-Company / 3rd Battalion / 7th Regiment initiated the successful advance by personally leading a squad east of the San Diego Freeway northward while coordinating the actions of the neighboring platoons, air support and medevac while continuously under enemy fire. For extraordinary heroism in action against an enemy of the United States Battalion CO recommended Lt. De Rossi

Okay, between the three of us, we have a battalion strength unit to throw at the foe.
Which sector do we switch the attack to?
Which sector do we switch the attack to?
A, B, C and F are currently our low-troop density regions and therefore the ones where the additional troops would have the most impact, so pick one of them you'd like.
Also just to be on the same page, mobile or static defense for E?
