OK, I have had a communique from Rome and received orders from I'll Duce. I have discussed the situation with my staff and this is what we believe we should do
The Best thing to do is place the squad with the LMG assigned in a good position in the rightnmost woods. Best way to do that is to first send a normal squad to test enemy reaction then the LMG squad. I hope that the Russians haven't a lot of troops on our flank. Then swing the two other light (because they don't have support weapons) squads on the right using the orchard to provide some cover toward the other patch of wood. when safe do the same thing with the LMG squad always using the non LMG squad as "bait". The hope is that moving in bounds and with some unit in place to provide fire....
Next. I want to do that again using terrain cover trying to use the "wooded" (small patch of dark green woods) approach toward the city and hope my german allies will draw the majority of russian attention. Keeping safe and letting the germans pull off the big action until we are safe and can start pouring on fire
