Fighting on Garniers Random Maps
Posted: Fri Jan 18, 2013 7:31 am
All,
Having now played many games on G's fine maps, I've come across something interesting. Since the road system allows for a ton of flanking manuvers by both sides, I've done a slightly custom OOB for the Yankees. I tend to play at Division Command level. I have found the 3rd. Corps, Sickles not withstanding, to be excellent troops. I'll use either Division. I also have become a huge fan of the "detaching half the Brigade" orders. I also tend to go swanning off a bit, working the flanks, rather than following the most direct route. Definitely get into a bit of trouble that way. To that end, I have wanted to detach the USSS boys from their parent brigade, (Wards), and make them a seperate unit, ala the detaching orders icon. However, it won't work for just them. Therefore I present to you this modded OOB from the 2nd. Day's action. The USSS boys are under a seperate command, (a Fourth Brigade), for Birney. They have proven to be excellent Flankers. Since one or both of my flanks tend to be in the air, regularly, I can use them to hold up anyone coming round one of them until I can react to it. Anyway, here you go.
