Observing his scribbles, he offers his own take on the blue-bloods plan.
"Not bold enough". Taking the pen from Rheiner, he adds his own notes to the scribbles. "The village on the crossroads must be held. The invaders can not be allowed it as a staging ground or to fortify it to bog down a counter-attack."
Continuing to add notes, he draws three lines, a circle and a square to represent troop formations. "Elements of Armored Recon and Dragoons neccesary here...", he motions to the narrowest path of forestry in the east, then afterwards to the groove in the west. "...and here, to ensure full protection of the flanks and to halt any advancing infantry. With Jaegers placed here...", he prods the square twice for effect, "...the Eastern Road will be under our control and easily defendable. Then, gathering our armored elements in the west, we can carry out a strong flanking maneuver on the Northwesterly force as it engages the defenders in the village. Afterwards we can carry that momentum and smash into anything coming down the eastern road with enfilade fire from both the north and the south."
Satisifed with this conclusion, he gives Rheiner some space and crosses his arms. "Self-sufficency of the Dragoon elements stationed in the village neccessary, recommend deploying Jacob Krogh, Fenrickriger and Raine's battalions for this. With their Panzerfausts, Rifle Grenades and Demoltion charges they're perfect for fending off any type of assault that could fall upon the town. As for the Panzerjaegers to hold the eastern approach, Wesker or Giovanni are preferable together with Niel to ensure proper anti-armour support is given until we can execute the swing."
