Deagle & Agate
We need to assess the terrain before moving in, Agate. The rock composition can affect how units advance and hold positions, so let’s talk about the current geology of the area.
Sure thing. The area is mostly a mix of fine‑grained sandstone and a layer of basalt from a volcanic event a few million years back. The sandstone is pretty porous, so it lets moisture in and can become muddy when wet, which would slow infantry and slow down mechanized units. The basalt, on the other hand, is pretty hard and offers good cover, but it can also be slippery if there’s any frost. If you line up a defensive line along the basalt ridges, you’ll get natural high ground and a rough barrier that can force units to funnel through narrow passes. Just keep in mind that the sandstone pockets can hide a lot of loose debris—great for cover, but also a bit of a hazard if you’re moving heavy gear over it.
Good data. Keep the infantry on the basalt, let the mechanized stay on the drier sandstone. Watch for debris, it can catch a vehicle. Adjust the line if frost shows up. We’ll hold the ridge.
Got it. I'll keep a close eye on the frost fronts and any shifting debris. Let me know if you spot anything. Good plan.
Copy that. Keep the perimeter tight and be ready to shift if anything changes.
