Meanwhile, on the flanks, the reconnaissance held back- they adjusted position, prepared fire, prepared escape routes, as the foolhardy assault began to the south.
The southernmost group listened and looked on, in some small envy, as they prepared their own positions. The now-nameless village was an ideal defensive position, loathe to be surrendered without a chance to exploit its usefulness…and the Twaryians would come here. There was a feeling- and it was backed up by Major Yule, when the Countess took objection.
“What are they doing down there?” she demanded, “Advance, you fools! C-3’s heroism will go for naught if you abandon him!”
“Countess,” Yule’s patience was strained, “They have an excellent position to defend against attacks from the flank. I advise to belay that command.”
“I did not ask for your opinion,” Haile snapped irritably, “Do what I say, or be reprimanded!”
>If you are perceived to be acting against or crossing Haile, she may refuse you support in the future should you ask for it
Further enemies rolled in from the flanks- certainly not the last. Much of the battalion lay in wait- though Eschenz was in position to fire, and Bereiter ready to back him up. Eschenz was confident in his ability to not draw counter-fire immediately- but he also knew not even animals were fool enough to assume cannon fire was but the wrath of the judge. They would deduce where they were being shot at from- even if they did not fire back immediately for inability to find him.
The enemy, well alerted by the attack, moved quickly. The agile T-8s darted to the flank where the wave of panzers was not approaching to crash down- immediately intent on wresting an advantage to themselves.
>Any reserved fire and fire+maneuver actions can be made.
>Remember that shooting comes first, then movement, so declare any actions in that order.
Also, mind that Rifles have a range of 5-Attacks declared that do not have the range will automatically miss.
If you are presently in combat and wish to fire, make an initiative roll- it will be the first d10 before any shooting you do. Any reserved attacks automatically have priority.
