Unless these orders don't include the Advance phase movement, consider the following points.

The units in O10 and P9 can't see anything so they can't support the unit in O9. The unit in O9 has an ATR which is useless against infantry (or main opponent). Why attack with less then 1/3 or your force? That one squad will get shot multiple times and is unlikely to be able to counter attack. If all three squads are on the line the enemy will split their fire up and you will have survivors to shoot back.

That mortar is the most effective weapon you've got but it can't move and fire. The more shots we fire, the more enemies go down.

Also, when units rout, they run to the nearest trees or buildings. That means that by putting your leader in the open ground in O10 you insure that it will be unable to rally any broken units without moving. N9 would be a better choice, because that is where the broken units will run to.

Of course, if you are just baiting the enemy with that one squad so he reveals himself and are then planning on advancing the other two squads forward in advance phase, that looks like a good plan!

Group 1. Platoon leader and a 2-4-7 (rifle squad) x 1 with LMG deployed in Hex B-8 (half hex).

Group 2. 2-4-7 (rifle squad) x 1 with the unassembled 50mm Mortar deployed at Hex C-9.

Group 3. 2-4-7 (rifle squad) x 1 deployed in Hex D-8 (half hex).

Was that about right in general Matt?

Deployment area is HexRows 9-10 so the units posted for HexRow 8 need to be relocated. Once I have that, A Co should be deployed on the map and should be ready to go.

What are the factors for my Italian LMG...range and firepower, that is?

Firepower = 2, Normal Range = 5. Nor sure it can be seen in the screenshot here, its not zoomed in real far: http://worldwartwozone.com/forums/21940-post70.html

Thanks DD!

Oh yeah, thanks! I was a bit out of it yesterday!

I want to fire everything I've got from J7...which if I'm following this correctly, means only my LMG is in range (perhaps with a Leader modifier?). If the Leader can modify the range of the Squad there too, fire away! Otherwise, guess my LMG is the only thing that can shoot at anything. Not sure how this works with firing at a Suspect counter...probably needs to be revealed first, which may have happened when I moved through J9 on my Turn 1.

Deuce...it really would help if you can post something on Turn Sequence...I'm really confused here. Might be best to post that in the Game Den thread, so guests visiting there have a place they can refer to rather than trying to hunt it down in the regular Game Forum threads...we have so many threads there on this game alone, that it's getting confusing to follow along. Just a thought. But please, a Turn Sequence...and maybe a brief description of what goes on in that sequence (i.e., impacts on other sequences).

The Italian Infantry has a normal range of 4 but can fire up to 8 hexes at 1/2 firepower, rounded down.

I will put this together and add it to the SASL Online Rules Website.

Super, it'll be easier for me to plot my moves if I understand the Turn Sequence better...thanks!

On the firepower thing, I take it then that you can double your range if firing at 1/2 firepower (i.e., the Italian LMG can fire 10 hexes away at 1 FP)?

That is correct.
