Administration/Logistics
Resupply
Castle Wil provide repairs and emergency resupply when called for. but main resupply should be done in each defense line.
Extra notes for defense line
- Use natural terrain as much as possible
- Provide a safe and easy access to the resupply
- If possible provide a small medical battle station for on site treatment of infantry.
- Do not overbuild due to frames and due to not enough supplies at the HQ
Medical
Knight due to the order to hold out as long as possible it is unwanted to get medevacked from the front line..
Preferred method this mission should be treat them at the front line when possible in Pre build Medical battle station by Castle. With each retreat when the second squad is leaving you should be on route to setup at the next defense line taking any casualties with you.
Rules of Engagement
We do not expect the enemy to surrender due to the fact they have the upper hand
Fire Support Plan
Hammer together with King 6 should provide constant rounds flying to slow the enemy down and funnel them in to the valley.
Also tasked with suppression and smoke screen to cover retreat of the platoon.
Close Air Support
King 7 together with Hitman should provide protection against fast movers and provide some ground suppression when retreating.
