Gary has 4 CD (Command Dice) and 4 SO (Staff Orders). He has a Triple Order Chain and a Single Order Chain.
Gary would like to take the objective on the hill this turn, but decides to take a cautious approach instead with the aim of taking the objective next turn.
Gary wants to fire smoke onto the German support platoon. He uses the first Command Dice of his Triple Order Chain to fire his mortar. One of his rifle platoons has Line of Sight to the support platoon and acts as Forward Observer (FO) for the mortar platoon.
US rifle platoon with LOS (Line of Sight) to German support platoon.
Gary places a Fire Marker on his mortar platoon and a 4″ diameter smoke template on the Germans.
The smoke template covers two German units increasing their Firepower TN by +2.
Gary uses his second order to advance onto the hill.
The hill decreases his infantry move to half, but a roll of 3 is just enough to get them onto the hill.
Max declares opportunity fire against the advancing Americans.
The German grenadiers on the right fire at long range (5+ TN). Max rolls three successes including two suppressions. Gary rolls four successes and doesn’t take any Disruption Points, but his platoon is suppressed because it rolled less 6s than the Germans (High Suppression).
Gary's platoons have 4 dice for Reaction. They gain additional +1D for being uphill from the Germans. Gary therefore rolls 5 dice for Reaction.
Max fires his second platoon and gets 2 successes including a suppression . Gary also rolls two successes and this time gets more 6s than Max and so his platoon is not suppressed.
Max fires his next Grenadier platoon. As this one is firing through smoke its TN is increased from 5+ to 7+. a 7+ TN reduces his Firepower Dice by -1D to 4D, and is TN is reduced to at 6+. He rolls 2 hits including 2 suppressions. Gary rolls three 6s and is not suppressed.
Max now fires his support platoon. Again he is firing through smoke with a 7+ TN. His 6 dice are reduced to 5 and he needs 6+ to hit. He doesn’t roll any 6s and misses.
Gary now fires his units. Two of them are suppressed and therefore cannot fire. He could remove their suppressions with Staff Orders, but decides to keep his Staff orders for later. His support platoon and rifle platoon fire, but fail to hit the Germans. He has now completed his activation with his current order. He has one dice left in his Triple Order Chain.
