Can we place ourselves wherever we want on the playing field?

As long as you all are relatively close to one another.

So what do you guys think? If we're going to take advantage of Mir's and Mack's "scouting" exoeditions, we would *have* to starts on the left side of the field to meet expectations, with the opposing team probably starting on the opposite side... So how about starting behind the cover provided by the rocks in rows 7 to 9, with the Raden Team (Mack+TB) behind the one at Z-AA and the other group behind the one at P-Q? Large killing field in front of Z-AA...

Or is that too spread out, Possum?

Kind of, but it'll be fine. Exact locations for everyone, please.

Mir... Q-6 to start...

perrinmiller · Oct 9, 2011

If we can start anywhere, why not behind the rock Z17-Z19? If we spread out too far, they can enter together and potentially gang up on us separately.

Binder Fred · Oct 9, 2011

well, aren't we sort of boxed-in there? Behind 7-9 we can do a pincer move on the killing ground in front of Z-AA if they all move that way, and/or have Raden move north from cover to cover and behind all that difficult terrain, etc. It seems to give us more options.

If we do go with that, Sloor will go P6. I'll let Mack position Raden and TB where he wants them for optimum defense.

perrinmiller · Oct 10, 2011

How about this?

Mack at Y4
TB at AB7
Raden at AC7

Binder Fred · Oct 10, 2011

No cover? I've sort of been asuming the other team will be starting on the opposite side of the field (in the 20's).

perrinmiller · Oct 10, 2011

I thought they would come from the stairs in 5-6. I was planning to start crouched or prone to lay down covering fire when they appear.

Binder Fred · Oct 10, 2011

I was seeing the playing field as, well, a playing field, with each team starting at opposing ends. The bits of conversations overheard by Mir shows that Zayda's team is also apparently assuming something of the kind.

Can we know which version you will be going with, Possum? Stairs, opposite ends, other, that obviously makes a huge difference in terms of starting positions and cover.
