TY

flat tapir Jul 2, 2025, 1:46 PM

#

It is a filler turn for us that has the possibility of giving Armco something good. I mean 9 engineers and a engineering inclined species of Otter-lemurs? Maybe something interesting happens

stiff python Jul 2, 2025, 1:47 PM

#

this is very true.

flat tapir Jul 2, 2025, 1:47 PM

#

Next turn (5) then probably Elim and Turn 6 we might actually deploy and build the airfield

valid violet Jul 2, 2025, 1:47 PM

#

Some action planning:
1- Rock station to Crossroads (3/7)
[we might slow down over Elim tho, it is an active combat zone)
2-HATs decend planetside above the building site (6.5/7)
3-HATs fly in a straight line for half a movement?
4-paradrop troops

#

Can we fly 1/2 a movement?

flat tapir Jul 2, 2025, 1:48 PM

#

Yeah sure

valid violet Jul 2, 2025, 1:48 PM

#

Atlas is clearing elim orbit I believe

#

Should be quick

stiff python Jul 2, 2025, 1:49 PM

flat tapir Jul 2, 2025, 1:52 PM

#

valid violet Explain plz?

When we arrive at Elim we should have enough movement to descend already. Rabbit will need this turn to go on the transports and might be able to land turn 5 but we only have the designation of the outskirts so it is still a waiting game

valid violet Jul 2, 2025, 1:53 PM

#

I would rather not decend if there is still ground combat

flat tapir Jul 2, 2025, 1:53 PM

#

Ok that last part doesn't make sense even to me

valid violet Jul 2, 2025, 1:53 PM

#

But otherwise yes

flat tapir Jul 2, 2025, 1:54 PM

#

All I am saying is that maybe we can descend a strat point early so we avoid possible high orbit problems

valid violet Jul 2, 2025, 1:55 PM

#

Possibly

flat tapir Jul 2, 2025, 1:55 PM

#

Rabbit deployment schedule will still need time so it would be "fine"

#

Of course that is without taking any risk into account. There are quite a few contacts at Elim

valid violet Jul 2, 2025, 1:55 PM

#

Yea

flat tapir Jul 2, 2025, 1:55 PM

#

So not unlikely that AA does exist

#

Especially since the lumarans have fighters

valid violet Jul 2, 2025, 1:56 PM

#

You think the bots have AA set up in crossroads?

#

Or Elim?

flat tapir Jul 2, 2025, 1:57 PM

#

No clue we will find out for Elim next turn and for Cross Roads maybe turn 5

valid violet Jul 2, 2025, 1:58 PM

#

I would rather be in orbit above crossroads with 212/atlas and when rabbit gives the all-clear we descend

flat tapir Jul 2, 2025, 1:58 PM

#

Mostly clear should be sufficient

valid violet Jul 2, 2025, 1:59 PM

#

There is a lot of question marks in Elim

#

Like on the map

flat tapir Jul 2, 2025, 1:59 PM

#

At least "AF build site" clear and "not getting overrun by bots" clear

#

Yeah also different sizes of marks

#

Not all need to be bots though. Could be civilians or militas too

valid violet Jul 2, 2025, 2:00 PM

#

Probably some enemies some loot some civilians

#

Let’s wait for more intel until we decide where to descend then

flat tapir Jul 2, 2025, 2:02 PM

#

40 '?' including one really realy big one in the northwest corner one bigger one in the east and one sligthly biger one in the south east

#

Add to that 12 known hostile bot squads

valid violet Jul 2, 2025, 2:03 PM

#

3018 and 3720 I don’t like the look of

#

Those look military

flat tapir Jul 2, 2025, 2:04 PM

valid violet Jul 2, 2025, 2:05 PM

#

Or bots hiding behind a wall

flat tapir Jul 2, 2025, 2:06 PM

But bots go for the target without care for concealment or barricades

valid violet Jul 2, 2025, 2:06 PM

HVTOL Hoover will be grabbing a LS (I'll be working with Atlas on making sure there's a VTOL Bay open for Hoover on that turn) and then HVTOLs Hoover and Sumer will descent on the build site. Hoover will drop off the LS and Sumer will drop off a prefab bunker.

I would talk to your HAT and tell them you are disembarking so they can put that in their orders. Then put providing medical assistance in your orders

#

As for side quests I mean like this for the whole bg

potent pollen Jul 2, 2025, 2:14 PM

valid violet Jul 2, 2025, 2:15 PM

Disembarking and re-embarking takes movement. Make sure your HAT knows about it.

flat tapir Jul 2, 2025, 2:22 PM

We assume. The convoy did have fighters and somehow Rabbit and Spearhead need to transfer to the Station

#

Its space afterall

potent pollen Jul 2, 2025, 2:23 PM

Talk to your hat

proper sun Jul 2, 2025, 3:12 PM

#

ocean onyx Supposedly there are civilian freighters and such we can borrow?

I believe those freighters have been claimed by Rabbit and Spearhead. I think going to the rock station is more about potentially giving them aid while buying another round for Elim's orbit to be cleared.

valid violet Jul 2, 2025, 3:13 PM

#

Makes sense to me

#

We still have no idea about what is happening in crossroads

proper sun Jul 2, 2025, 3:14 PM

#

And even with 212th's fighters, I'd still rather not push ahead of the orbital line at least.

flat tapir Jul 2, 2025, 3:14 PM

#

It is a filler turn for us

#

It is honestly funny that the support BGs could have pushed ahead with Storm

valid violet Jul 2, 2025, 3:16 PM

#

We are very fast

#

If we didn’t have the VTOL we could be moving at speed 7

#

Thats from lussan gate through crossroads to Tora

#

We would die but it would be a very funny map to show Shack

ocean onyx Jul 2, 2025, 3:20 PM

#

proper sun I *believe* those freighters have been claimed by **Rabbit** and **Spearhead**. ...

Claimed as in called dibs?

#

According to the mid round events they need to take them to the rock station to empty them and make them ready to be used as transports

proper sun Jul 2, 2025, 3:23 PM

#

ocean onyx Claimed as in called dibs?

lol, yeah. Pretty much

ocean onyx Jul 2, 2025, 3:24 PM

#

But yeah, it’s best if we go there to not be sitting idle doing nothing until landing becomes safer

proper sun Jul 2, 2025, 3:25 PM

#

Rabbit and Spearhead have fast enough BG freighters to make it to the station next round as long as it's all Strat layer movement. This'd also mean that the 212th's fighters could be escorting the Lumaran ore haulers (with Rabbit and Spearhead onboard) next round as well

I’m not a part so take my word with a grain of salt but my understanding is that what yall do depends on a lot on what else happens

Since you don’t want to drop into crossroads without intel (understandably) which is what Rabbit and Spearhead are theoretically doing

spiral ivy Jul 2, 2025, 6:24 PM

Hey Flying Shovels! From spearhead, wondering if thought has been put into hitting up the Cell’Dar mine first with the new intel. You are the only ones who can establish an airfield, and being able to airlift out that LS would be obviously very useful.

We'll be ending our turn at the station. Getting off or staying onboard is prolly up to you and what we do next round is pending intel. (I'm not a shovel either, but 212th is locked with y'all for now)

Not a shovel, and can't speak on their plans...but I could see a benefit to running an airfield at Cell'Dar with at least the initial LS. Could use the LS already there to build it too. But again, I'm not a shovel. Would likely be something that shows up in a poll after this round's briefing.

spiral ivy Jul 2, 2025, 6:32 PM

Somehow missed that message. Just my opinion but I think Cross Roads is more pressing for an AF.
Central location, flexibility to resupply, rearm 212th fighters faster after air support.
And 7 out of 14 BGs will probably move through that point towards any other strat point that is in need of help.
Overall just a good place to fortify and make a logistics hub out of

My perspective is, Cell’Dar is both currently safe and will have troops there next turn. Where as Crossroads likely has bots (it’s the path to Elim city) and ARMCO forces won’t be there for another few turns, since even if they skip over the fighting in Elim city enemy presence still bogs them down (need to physically fly across the map at tactical speeds)

Plus it’s sounding like the 212th wants to follow us to Cell’Dar to handle movement of that large supply cache.

#

I agree crossroads makes sense long term, but without an airfield at Cell’Dar there will be a lot of large supply that can only leave via HVTOL

proper sun Jul 3, 2025, 1:01 AM

#

To clarify, I was saying that I saw the value in having an airfield there…but the timing wasn’t something I was commenting on. And honestly if we’re just talking about moving LS, HVTOLs can handle the job well enough. The main value I see in an AF there is a fallback point. A way to use HATs to move players if you can’t push through Ziyal.

valid violet Jul 3, 2025, 2:05 AM

#

It is an interesting idea

#

I agree that we want something but probably not until the starport esque grav-lift runs out of power

#

If there is a significant amount of Large Supply then I would also say to build it.

Yeah but Cell'Dar is isolated and Shovels is one VTOL short of full mobility. Sure we can build an AF but the added benefit of transport for the 212 (only BG with the capacity) would be 2 extra LS with the HATs + 2 LS from the HVTOL when will we need that many LS so fast?

nimble sundial I have fat fingers so I can’t edit the right area of cargo

So Bison do you still want to put the orders in? Morpheus is processing the orders this turn so you have still plenty of time before he even wakes up

nimble sundial Jul 3, 2025, 2:36 PM

#

The next stage of my holiday involves me going into the Rockies, in which I will definitely not have signal, so unfortunately I can’t really put orders in….. I still want to participate In this once I get back

#

Also hey I think we just saw the mining station

flat tapir Jul 3, 2025, 3:55 PM

#

Hm I think we need to get a transfer going just in case. If you are fine with it put your orders in that you want to dock with the station

#

@nimble sundial

#

Gonna mark you as MIA in the meantime and you link up with us when you are back from the Rockies

#

@glossy flower @polar lynx @deep cairn @nimble sundial due to the Bison being without signal for a few rounds (1-2 I imagine?) I would suggest a HAT transfer to one of the 212 HATs. Already asked and they have room

#

Just need Bison landing this turn

nimble sundial Jul 3, 2025, 4:20 PM

#

Yeah I’m really sorry lads

#

But don’t worry, a part of me will always stretch over the hills and far away!

flat tapir Jul 3, 2025, 4:22 PM

Alright do you need help with the order this turn?

#

I have 20mins time right now

nimble sundial Jul 3, 2025, 4:25 PM

#

I just made it

flat tapir Jul 3, 2025, 4:27 PM

Looks clear to me. For future turns landing would be under the movement/action tracker and order type: advance

nimble sundial Jul 3, 2025, 4:28 PM

#

Ok

polar lynx Jul 3, 2025, 5:21 PM

Alright so next orders should be disembark and get on a one of the 212 hats with space

We need a HVTOL to drop off one large supply, that will let us get the airfeild operational, letting the HATs land to bring it more large supply.

#

Don’t know if we need it this round tho

flat tapir Jul 4, 2025, 2:24 PM

#

Don‘t even have a clear situation for Elim high orbit

valid violet Jul 4, 2025, 2:24 PM

Need to wait for Shacks map

#

But yeah a HVTOL is necessary, it’s our only way to get Large supply on the ground

#

Now we know for the next meta campaign to bring a HVTOL

flat tapir Jul 4, 2025, 2:25 PM

Yknow fair

flat tapir Jul 4, 2025, 2:27 PM

#

valid violet Now we know for the next meta campaign to bring a HVTOL

We had one but Hoover switched to the 212. Of course not really an issue since the 212 helps us out a lot right now and their interest for the construction of an AF align

valid violet Jul 4, 2025, 2:28 PM

Yeah, I love the formation

#

#

Scratches an itch

#

We’re actually part of a convoy

flat tapir Jul 4, 2025, 2:30 PM

Yeah biggest one Armco has seen yet 😄

#

At least the amount of HATs is crazy

valid violet Jul 4, 2025, 2:32 PM

With the convoy it’s mostly safe too

#

And fast

#

Are HATs the fastest unit?

#

We have 7 speed

flat tapir Jul 4, 2025, 2:34 PM

I think so? Maybe fighters are faster

Fighters were faster in the past I think, but they’re the same speed now.

valid violet Jul 4, 2025, 2:38 PM

#

flat tapir Yeah biggest one Armco has seen yet 😄

Were HATs rare?

proper sun Jul 4, 2025, 2:40 PM

#

I think it’s less about rarity and more about so many being gathered into a single formation

valid violet Jul 4, 2025, 2:41 PM

#

How did people deploy before

#

(I’m spoiled from all the HATs)

proper sun Jul 4, 2025, 2:42 PM

#

Oh we had HAT deployment too, but not a lot in a single formation. I think at most we saw like 2-3 HATs flying together.

#

So a lot of either solo flyers or small groups, not large formations of em…and not a group of what 17 mixed aerospace units.

valid violet Jul 4, 2025, 2:44 PM

#

Guess they didn’t need to pack up battlegroups then

#

With this many hats we could just be a taxi service

proper sun Jul 4, 2025, 2:45 PM

Last campaign

proper sun Jul 4, 2025, 2:46 PM

We’ll see. I imagine the 212th’s HATs will mainly be SS deliveries once we get Crossroads up.

valid violet Jul 4, 2025, 2:46 PM

#

Ss?

#

Small supply

#

Got it

#

Don’t forget that you can coordinate supply paradrops with logi trucks on the ground

#

You don’t even need to land

proper sun Jul 4, 2025, 2:48 PM

#

It’s why the 212th encouraged logi trucks to join other BGs rather than us.

valid violet Jul 4, 2025, 2:48 PM

#

It is a primary action for the Logi trucks

#

The Shovel HATs will probably be staying at crossroads. Transporting large supply down and ss to any logi trucks that enter crossroads

proper sun Jul 4, 2025, 2:49 PM

#

We’ve got 2 VTOLs and a logi LM for direct delivery, but the primary I’m anticipating is airdropping from our HATs to their trucks

That makes a lot of sense, and I'll have that in mind as a backup plan.

I think 212 has an HVTOL for the airfield LS, been talking to both

flat tapir Jul 4, 2025, 4:28 PM

#

212 has two HVTOL. Dave's is just loaded up with a PreFab bunker

astral heron Jul 4, 2025, 4:29 PM

Wish we could, like, have the big box of LS out in open space for you to just nab on your way past us. Or a land/load/takeoff all in the same turn so you could make it without stopping

So you will probably have some more people around you in the HAT 😅

twilit ledge Jul 4, 2025, 10:46 PM

Looks like the bots already started building at crossroads. They're doing our work for us.

flat tapir Jul 4, 2025, 10:47 PM

#

Sounds like we will see heavy resistance. Might need to reconsider another place to build the AF

#

At least we need a recon report from Rabbit

twilit ledge Jul 4, 2025, 10:54 PM

#

The Grav lift at Cell'dar starts looking more appealing. There seems to be quite a bit of space south of the anti grav. Sadly it's also a bit out of the way, so not a great logistical centre.

flat tapir Jul 4, 2025, 10:55 PM

Luckily the AF isn't needed yet

Well not urgently needed

#

I guess the fighters and bombers would like it

valid violet Jul 5, 2025, 12:28 AM

Once it is built all the fighter wings will start cycling past us

flat tapir Jul 5, 2025, 11:01 AM

i think going to elim is the logical next step

dreamy kayak Jul 5, 2025, 11:07 AM

#

I think so too,

#

We make Elim into a hub for r&r till we can help with crossroads

stiff python Jul 5, 2025, 11:11 AM

#

makes sense to me

#

how far can we get from damar rock station this turn?

dreamy kayak Jul 5, 2025, 11:14 AM

#

I believe in one turn

valid violet Jul 5, 2025, 11:37 AM

#

We move fast

#

Assuming that there is at least 1 HAT that is completely empty. We spend 2.5 movement to reload.
Then 0.5 movement to get airborne

#

2 movement to reach Elim orbit

#

We cannot decend but we can reach orbit

#

5/7 movement used. 3.5 needed to descend.

#

For VTOLs it takes 3.5 movement to reach Elim orbit assuming they need to fully load up and take off

#

For other fliers 2.5 movement

#

VTOLs have 5 movement

#

If we don’t care about loading our troops we can make it to Elim orbit and descend planetside

#

(Just barely)

#

TLDR: We make it to Elim orbit unless we don’t care about the speed cost to load units. If so we can descend into Elim planetside.

#

We can wait there for Rabbit to scope out the crossroads

flat tapir Jul 5, 2025, 12:22 PM

#

we can get a LS from Atlas ready

deep cairn Jul 5, 2025, 1:47 PM

Yeah

#

Costs 4 rec for the heavy frame

#

Then 2 rec to fill it’s other weapon slots

Morning folks! I'm going to be putting together our map for this round as well, and there's a couple notes I wanted to mention on formating/rules.
If you're doing any sort of movement during your turn, your order type needs to be "Advance". Once we get a Tac Map each of those types will be listed on your unit Icon, so any irregularities would be problematic.
Additionally, for our HATs, loading a unit costs 0.5 speed per cargo slot. Again, not super important this round, but will be very impactful later on.

So I guess in the next few hours you will be up again. Wouldn’t it be better to hold one fighter formation back? If we arrive at Cross Roads and there is a bot fleet that will mean it takes longer to finally descend.

Just trying to keep orders harmonious between the BGs here's rabbit's intentions atm

valid violet Jul 9, 2025, 1:35 AM

The plan as I understand it after we move to Crossroads high orbit.
Operation Flying Shovels

Phase 1)drop to crossroads low orbit, paradrop combat troops, deploy the LS and portable bunker.

Phase 2) paradrop engies on the build site, they build the airfield.

Phase 3) engies build the supply depot, fighters/bombers and HATs that need to land to reload or deploy troops do so.

#

Example orders

#

Unit Type: HAT
Carrying: 
     IFV “Roller”
     IFV “Rat Bus”
     Infantry “Wyvern”
Equipment: Default 

Order Type: Advance

Movement/Action Tracker: 
Move to crossroads high orbit (1)
  Begin operation Flying Shovels:
 Phase 1) drop to low orbit above (airfield hex cords), paradrop Infantry “Wyvern” (4.5)
 Phase 2) Wait
 Phase 3) Land at airfield (hex cords) unload IFV “Roller” and IFV “Rat Bus” (7)
Facing: In formation

Starting Coords: Elim City (High Orbit)
Ending Coords: Airfeild hex cords

RP: “This is your pilot speaking, this is our last staging location before we reach the crossroads. Wyvern, get ready to drop in soon, Roller and Rat Bus, you’ll need to wait until the airfield is built to deploy.```

Here's an initial thought for structure layout. Airfield is straightforward, point 1 is the Prefab bunker, positioned such that it's the blocker between bot forces and the airfield. Shown in orange is an inital defensive line. I think we'll need a multi-layered defense: a layer of walls to block LOs, a layer of Trenches and bunkers to provide positions.
We can get the airfield up in 1 turn with 9 build actions to spare. My thought is we drop in 2 groups, one on the AF site to ensure it's up, and one on the other end of this defensive line. Once the airfield is up, the two groups will build defenses towards each other.

Ah right I just got confused by the order 😅

valid violet Jul 9, 2025, 1:46 PM

This will be a confusing turn

flat tapir Jul 9, 2025, 1:46 PM

As long as it doesn't beat IH 😂

valid violet Jul 9, 2025, 1:46 PM

IH?

flat tapir Jul 9, 2025, 1:46 PM

Iron Hammer

valid violet Jul 9, 2025, 1:47 PM

Arent they just moving 1 this turn?

flat tapir Jul 9, 2025, 1:47 PM

They will arrive at Cross Roads too

valid violet Jul 9, 2025, 1:48 PM

#

Okay

flat tapir Jul 9, 2025, 1:48 PM

#

I was refering to the deployment turn of IH. It was pretty stressful for the TCO

#

To many parts moving

valid violet Jul 9, 2025, 1:48 PM

#

Also the orders in right now for shovels dont cover the units leaving their hats

#

Assuming condor is gonna do the drop land and unload like me

stiff python Jul 9, 2025, 1:49 PM

#

so one more turn in the HAT, very well

valid violet Jul 9, 2025, 1:49 PM

#

No

flat tapir Jul 9, 2025, 1:49 PM

#

oh yeah I am looking between comms right now

valid violet Jul 9, 2025, 1:49 PM

You unloading

stiff python Jul 9, 2025, 1:49 PM

#

ah, sorry

valid violet Jul 9, 2025, 1:50 PM

stiff python so one more turn in the HAT, very well

You got a turn, it just costs 1/2 a movement for you to leave

potent pollen Jul 9, 2025, 1:50 PM

I am on "Chonk", do I need to Paradrop or should I wait on "Chonk" until the airfield gets made. I work tonight so I need to get my order submitted before I leave for work

Well I am a medic so I won't be able to do damage, I can dig in so I probably could help with that

valid violet Jul 9, 2025, 1:51 PM

#

Then they probably all paradrop

potent pollen Jul 9, 2025, 1:51 PM

#

Ok

flat tapir Jul 9, 2025, 1:52 PM

#

valid violet Then they probably all paradrop

Now we just need to figure out sth

valid violet Jul 9, 2025, 1:52 PM

#

What do we need to figure out

#

The engies need to paradrop

#

Bonesaw can wait if they want

potent pollen Jul 9, 2025, 1:53 PM

#

Would it be better if I drop a bit further back and move up to the ground formation?

valid violet Jul 9, 2025, 1:54 PM

#

Depends on how chonk moves

#

They don’t need to land

#

They have 2.5 free movement to use

potent pollen Jul 9, 2025, 1:55 PM

#

Assuming they are moving towards 3820 to drop engines for the air field

valid violet Jul 9, 2025, 1:55 PM

#

We don’t know their exact path

#

I would just drop at 3820 as you know they will pass that

potent pollen Jul 9, 2025, 1:56 PM

#

Alright

#

So like this?

How about this?

potent pollen Jul 9, 2025, 1:58 PM

#

Assuming orange is trench lines

flat tapir Jul 9, 2025, 1:58 PM

#

Along those lines the engineers and infantry para drop

valid violet Jul 9, 2025, 1:59 PM

#

I’m just dropping directly on top of the airfeild

potent pollen Jul 9, 2025, 1:59 PM

#

Ok so change drop cords

flat tapir Jul 9, 2025, 1:59 PM

#

valid violet I’m just dropping directly on top of the airfeild

I think you need to fly in a straight line

potent pollen Jul 9, 2025, 1:59 PM

#

Dig in is an order type right?

valid violet Jul 9, 2025, 1:59 PM

#

Then I can’t unload one of the units

#

The IFVs

flat tapir Jul 9, 2025, 2:00 PM

#

potent pollen Dig in is an order type right?

No that was an action I believe

flat tapir Jul 9, 2025, 2:00 PM

#

valid violet Then I can’t unload one of the units

Oh wait you have just one unit airdrop than it should be fine

valid violet Jul 9, 2025, 2:00 PM

I have 2 IFVs

Make sure that Chonk sees this flight plan

#

I’ll fly 3721 to 3820 in step 2

flat tapir Jul 9, 2025, 2:03 PM

@potent pollen dig in is an action so 0.5 speed
@valid violet rules say a straight flight path is needed. No requirement on length
And regarding unloading it takes 0.5 per cargo slot

stiff python Jul 9, 2025, 2:04 PM

so yes i'm still in the HAT this turn?

valid violet Jul 9, 2025, 2:04 PM

3920 looks like it will damage wyvern

Depends on the specific landing position but 3819 might be good. Otherwise just along the line from 3819 to the airfield they can chose a spot they like

honestly maybe I should just say I'm in the HAT, and where the HAT stopped like this

You could help building the AF with 2 actions. If Fixit and Lodge respond we have enough to finish the AF. Otherwise some fortifications in forn of the AF would be also nice

@leaden stone we don't actually need that many engineers for the AF. So could also help build fortifications or help the rabbit artillery dig in

In 3819 are also two Rabbit artillery pieces that could be dug in.
And Rabbit also left a small defense force in 3920 I believe

do i need to specify which units im dropping?

So how does it work?

flat tapir Jul 9, 2025, 7:47 PM

#

Shack marks on his map where conflicts will happen and then rolls the dice accordingly

#

Of course there are target priorities like AP shooting at armored enemies

ocean onyx Jul 9, 2025, 7:48 PM

#

so everyone follows npc target rules?

flat tapir Jul 9, 2025, 7:49 PM

#

Or infantry shooting the other infantry first before targeting support units

flat tapir Jul 9, 2025, 7:49 PM

#

ocean onyx so everyone follows npc target rules?

yes and no. If you have equipment that you activate for example a hotel missile then of course you change your target priority

ocean onyx Jul 9, 2025, 7:50 PM

#

flat tapir yes and no. If you have equipment that you activate for example a hotel missile ...

Yes, just like npcs, they also have target priorities depending on their equipment

flat tapir Jul 9, 2025, 7:50 PM

#

But yes the normal case is you advance with others and the hostiles advance/hold with their allies and in the middle you shoot

Just so you are aware we have already enough build actions for the AF

#

I will count it otherwise just as backup but you can also do other stuff

#

For example two rabbit arty will deploy at 3819 that could be dug in or fortifications(razor wire, tank traps, sandbags) could be build
