Add the ships to your ORBAT too (I presume you're fine with the ones I suggested, though I'm happy to help you find something else if you're not), just so that everything is in one place when people look on the OP to check your forces.

Great, that's everything! You're on the OP.

We're just waiting on Exantos's ORBAT to start the IC.

[Exantos]

Here's my extended Orbat, if you need me to put details for anything else aside from basic riflemen gear let me know and I'll post that down as well.(Gear for my soldiers will be included later on but let's get the IC rolling)
Extended Orbat:

23nd Mechanized Battalion and 19th Mechanized Battalion each have 5 Zubr’s per battalion=10 total Zubr’s
Each Company in these battalions are split into 5 platoons each platoon has 30 troops and each platoon contains two squads of 15 troops each, each of these squads have a type 89 AFV.
Each squad contains 8 infantry men, 2 medics, 1 commander, and 2 specialized soldiers such as Heavy Machine gunners, anti-tank soldiers, recon/snipers, recon drone operators, or anti-air soldiers. The commander and the driver for the type 89 AFV if forced out would take additional roles as riflemen within in the group.

For the 48th I have 24 Mi-24’s and I have 3 platoons per company and 2 squads per platoon each squad consisting of 11 men so I have 66 men per company. The infantry setup is 1 pilot, 1 weapon system officer and 9 soldiers with 1 medic, 6 riflemen and 1 specialist consisting of anti-tank, anti-air, or sniper/recon.

For my armored company I have 36 ZBD and transportation wise I have 4 072A for that, then for the mechanized soldiers I have 27 ZDB2000 with the same setup as my other mechanized infantry except each platoon is consisting of 22 men and each platoon squad has 1 medic, 1 driver, 1 commander, 1 gunner, 6 riflemen, and 1 specialist. I have 3 072A’s for that.

For the 36th and 37th I will be running these as a medium tank base because of the weight and so since I have 200 soldiers total manning these I will have 50 2k22’s and that means 10 072A’s.
The 23rd Mobile reconnaissance company will have 12 ASLAV’s so I will have 2 ZUBR’s with 6 ASLAV’s in each one. The troop capability in relation to this will have 3 Riflemen, 1 medic, 1 recon soldier, and 1 spotter for the recon soldier. As well as the Driver, Gunner, and Commander.

I will also be running 4 0720A’s for my logistical and command battalion. So DEN I just need you to store 4 helicopters if possible.

*Important Note* All of my soldiers if they manage to get out of the tank in time or anti-air vehicle etc.. or have to engage in infantry combat have the capability to do so(This means the drivers, and other soldiers can fight too)

Looks good. Wrap it into one cohesive ORBAT, and I'll put it on the OP.

IC will hopefully be up this weekend.

[Congreveopia]

The IC has arrived!

Some final things to note:

• The battle begins on Day 1 at 0000 hours (that's the midnight between day 0 and day 1).
• REDFOR troops begin 1000 kilometers due west of Ilha Oitava.
• BLUEFOR troops begin in Praia da Vitória with the following exceptions:
  
  • Naval assets start in the water east of the island, not on land. Of course.
  • Air assets start at the island's airfield at Praia da Vitória.
  • The OTH radar and its crew start in their facility on the island's western hill.
• The OTH radar can see non-stealth surface ships 500 km away and aircraft 100 km away.

The day 1 weather report is:

• Clear skys above Ilha Oitava.
• Clouds past 100km south of Ilha Oitava (optical satellite and high-altitude air reconnaissance not possible).
• Storms past 250km south of Ilha Oitava (air operations from surface ships difficult).

Feel free to ask if you have any further questions or I forgot to mention anything!

[Exantos]

[*]The OTH radar and its crew start in their facility on the island's western hill.[/list]

Right so was there a mention of this beforehand? Because I believe that if this wasn't mentioned earlier we weren't given the proper information to prepare forces for this. I mean I would've changed up several aspects of my forces such as sacrificing manpower or firepower for speed if I knew that the Blufor would be getting an early warning system like this, and before you ask yes I did look through the orbats as well as look through the island as well.

He probably didn't mention it because I, as USSDEN, already would've known about it. Mostly because I actually employ this equipment quite a lot, and so know the limitations

Also I did invade Hale Isles once. Don't know if that is canon.

...REDFOR, Oitava is critical to crossing this ocean. As long as Blufor has over the horizon radar and an airbase here, your heavy transports can go no further...

Also, this is pretty small for an OTH system. JORN reaches 1000-3000 kilometers. And anyways, you fight a war with the army you have, not the army you want. If this wargame were part of an actual military campaign, it's unlikely that you'd gut your existing command structure to build a specialized division for assaulting this island.

Also, we could have just put the E-3 and P-8 on patrol even if we didn't have the radar.

Also I did invade Hale Isles once. Don't know if that is canon.

It's not because the RP died before there was any clear ending or sign of how things were going to go.

If I had to guess, I would have assumed that your landing force was stopped on the highways by Halian armor and the landing was gradually rolled back, Agamemnon was sunk at the expense of heavy casualties in the Fourth Ship Flotilla, and eventually a ceasefire was negotiated after RavenForce fleets secured the Hale Isles, but I assume that you have a different impression of how things would have gone, and neither of us can know for sure without having RPed it out further.

Don't worry, I'm sure you'll get to do a proper invasion of the Hale Isles eventually.

[Die Erworbenen Namen]

RIP Agamemnon. You served dutifully.

[Congreveopia]

RIP Agamemnon. You served dutifully.

Agamemnon showed up later in Rebellious Citadel, though, so if it was sunk in the DeN-Secoritan Conflict of 2015, then you must have launched a new ship under the same name a few months later.

Either that, or Agamemnon travels through time. Which it doesn't, right? Right?

[Vionna-Frankenlisch]

Not sure if I should apply for this or not, I don't really know what role my forces could play.

Okay. Additional multirole fighter aircraft could be very useful.

Alternatively, more land forces could also be good. That could be a small special operations unit, or a larger supplementary ground force.

The one thing I'd probably advise against is a surface ship. Chances are that you'd be sunk pretty quickly without getting involved in the fighting much.

So yeah, if you like air combat, then I think more aircraft would be very valuable. If not, come up with some sort of ground unit that you'd enjoy playing.

I'm hopeless at air combat, I'll work on some ground troops.

Sorry, there's language in the Extra slots about "try to pick a unit size that would be commanded by something comparable to a lieutenant colonel." That's because your current proposed deployment would outnumber all currently involved land forces by about 2:1. Do you think you could try to trim this down to something around the size of a battalion?
