Experiences of a PRT Commander

[Michael_Denmark]

Very very cool read Jigsaw.

All should read this.

Please more of the same from other battles!

Question:

Firstly had I pushed in those squads more aggressively it is reasonable to assume that CATA would have been forced to redeploy from their assault and defend North City

How excatly would you have done this; fewer part-objectives to attack from start or did you simply not rush it from start?

Very cool read. Stuff like this will only evolve the tourney and the public games.

4th Rifles-5 men and 1 Support Truck
23rd MTB-3 men and 2 Repair Land Rovers
2nd Marines-5men and 1 IFV
3rd LAR- 5 men and 1 IFV
70th Armored- 8 men and 4 tanks
JCOMS- 4 men and 2 HATS and one support truck


4th Rifles and their support truck race to Oil Production, once there they start attempting to take the flag.
23rd will be following the armor, and repairing it.

2nd Marines will be attempting to take the flag at Oil Storage their IFV will provide assistance against light vehicles and infantry.
3rd LAR will be doing the same as 2nd marines.

70th will be in the upper most 2 corridores in the I quadrant. Once there they are not to activly attack anything without my approval. Their main job is to cover that flank.

JCOMS will be capping the flag at village, and setting up a bunker there. Once they are done they will move to A4k8 and set up a firebase, once done if we have either OS or OP they will setup an addiditional firebase at A8. From there they will either

• Attempt to ambush enemy tanks while they are moving back to main for rearm.
• Go on a hunter killer mission.

As many of you have noticed this is a very simple battle plan, the reason for this is that over battle plans are usually elabrant, and well they dont actually work very well in this tournament. As the saying goes, plans only work until the first bullet is fired.

Strategy
As a Commander I am more so worried about our strategy than our battle plan. Our strategy this time will be to lure out their tanks, or to destroy their tanks without our tanks. I love the powel doctrine, in that "You dont go to war except with an overwhelming force". Best case scenario, JCOMS can take out 3 of their tanks, leaving it 4 of ours against 1 of theirs, worst case they all die. I have faith in JCOMS.

Gentlemen, CATA 1 is an armor team, they love their armor. So the enemy will be expecting us to attack, on their terms. Instead, lets attack on our terms.


Ok boys, there you have my IBP, rip it up.

That's the IBP posted by Eddiereyes909 for B1, don't think it changed that much.

Basically those squads were a bit slow moving into position as they paused around the central entrance to docks and were taking incoming fire from the high buildings iirc. I feel it would have gone faster if the units already stationed at the northern entrance had moved into the buildings with the reserve squads moving in behind, thereby making the initial assault and then following through with the squads behind.

Will try to post some more from the battles I have been involved in

[Michael_Denmark]

Please do.

Thanks for the content scott.

Is it possible to request some of the old NATO plans against CATA 2, like C6B2, C6B6? Or all of them

This is a bit depressing to read. The last PRT battle I really enjoyed was C7B3, Op Barracuda. And that's well over a year ago.

that was crazy and nicely executed on part of nato

[Michael_Denmark]

Yes that battle too, could be interesting in regard to deployed plans in this thread.

[Farks]

That was one of our most simple plans - take the airfield and hold it. It actully worked much better than we expected, cos we were still struggling with it just a few days before the battle. Iirc, we had one platoon at the south part of the airfield, and another at the north part togheter with my squad.

Nice stuff, very cool video, are there any more detailed planning-content avail, CO´s summery/evaluation, which u can deploy here?
