Well, I posted a map of the area where the main bulk of the 173rd is at and indicated the Replacement Company as well. I just placed the 2 infantry battalions, not all the component units.

For reference, the buildings where the symbols are at are hardened Aircraft Shelters. Since there really aren’t any aircraft left (assigned) to the base, each shelter is assigned to one company of infantry.

I don’t know if these help you out.

I posted the close-up here. what level of map are you wanting?

Just for reference, there will be more maps as the game goes forward. The game hasn’t yet officially started. I’ll be posting more maps soon, though.

Are you asking about specific elements of the 173rd or other?

From what I am gathering its been 6hrs or so since the incoming fleet was shot out of the sky?

Partisans and Rooster are moving in to offer assistance and loot?
Apr 15, 2026 7:18 pm
They certainly can. This was just the beginning of the airlift and technically pre-game.

Yes, specifically the other units in the BDE (BDE HCC, the EN Co and LSB), and the 198th AR, 2-11 FA and the helo unit.

Since the unit is in a bowl, so this is exactly what not to do (Dien Bien Phu, Wanat, COP Keating, and it looks like now the Battle for Călărași Gară) place the defending unit in a bowl with the enemy holding the hills/mountains surrounding such area.

I’ll get an updated map by midday tomorrow (Session 0 official start). It will have the general "last reported" positions. It will likely be 48-72 hours old. It will not show positions of the Soviets, though it may show hints. (I am having some growing pains on my map app… but I’m getting there).

No Worries, I had to copy and paste it, still got it wrong. I had to write it down and paste the plain text into Wikipedia and it gave the correct spelling.


I am currently using this online topo map for the location (The map is a hyperlink to webpage of the map)

I thought the same thing to until the GM posted the map and then I noticed the different spelling. It happens;

Thanks. There will be more to come. I may push Session 0 out to Friday or Saturday. I have an unexpected medical appointment tomorrow and it’s messing with my timeline.
