Phase 1: Attack in zone along AXIS WARRIOR to establish support by fire position
Our first objective, shown below, is to attack in zone to establish a
support by fire position for crossing the bridge at PL ARDENNES. Use dismounted
infantry to clear enemy from buildings on both sides of the street before
sending any armor, mech, or engineering units down the street.
Phase 2: Secure the breach site
Once both sides of AXIS WARRIOR are cleared of enemy fighters move
the friendly fire teams into a support by fire position overlooking
the bridge at PL ARDENNES.
Now the objective is continue clearing AXIS WARRIOR of any new enemy fighters
and to secure the breachsite with your armor and mech units to allow sufficient
freedom of maneuver to your engineers that they can complete the breach at the bridge at PL
ARDENNES.
Send your mech and armor platoons down AXIS WARRIOR in platoons, in either line
or wedge formation, using bounding overwatch. Have the ENG platoons stay behind at
this point. Once the armor and mech units are at the bridge have them form into
a support by fire position overlooking the river bank to the right side of the bridge.
Phase 3: Breach the obstacle belt
Now the objective is to complete a breach at the bridge at PL ARDENNES.
Bring the ENG platoons up in line formation to maximize the number of
lines cut through the obstacles. Once on the other side of the bridge
obstacles they can take any suitable cover.
While the engineers are breaching use the mech and armor platoons on the
left side of the bridge to suppress any infantry on the left river bank.
Use the friendly infantry in the SBF position to the right to suppress
any enemy positions directly in front of the engineers and on the right
river bank.
Phase 4: Assault to secure OBJ FOX
Your current objective should be to destroy the enemy forces on the
far side of the bridge at PL ARDENNES and assault to secure OBJ FOX,
to facilitate the continued attack to secure OBJ WARNER.
First bring your armor and mech platoons over, one by one, using
bounding overwatch. Continue to use the infantry platoon on the
right riverbank to suppress enemy.
Finally, bring your fire teams across the bridge and have them
clear the areas in OBJ FOX around the runways before your armor
or mech units go onto them.
Do not put any armor or mech units on the runways before all
surrounding cover has been cleared of enemy units.
