Hello everyone, here's a bit of help with picturing what's currently occurring.
First off, where we started, and where we've got to:
We landed on the beach, and advanced approximately a kilometer inland across the flatter, emptier stretch of what looks like sandy terrain. This is where the majority of the heavier tanks and armour were waiting for us, along with some emplaced infantry. I envision - from everyone's posts - that we spread out once we exited the landing ship somewhat.
Now, after the artillery barrage, the area ahead of us - as described in my post from Maddy's POV - is suppressed and free of hostiles and cover. This leaves us open to advance to the edge of Naserabad proper, and onto the streets among the buildings. As mentioned, the secondary school has been requisitioned as a command post for the defence of the area.
We can assume that houses and businesses have been evacuated, but are otherwise intact. They may or may not have been occupied, but walled areas/compounds or outbuildings and the more major road junctions may have infantry with heavy weapons - machine guns, light mortars and shoulder-fired weapons - emplaced.
Once we advance into the town/village, this is what we can expect, although our characters won't know where everything is beforehand, and it will only be revealed as we advance.
I'll leave the exact details of what's where open to some interpretation, so that your posts can have some creative freedom, within the bounds of what's specified on the map. Expect more of the same kind of equipment, vehicles, and forces that we've already encountered though, as drawn from
equipment used by the Iranian Army. Though, expect them to be holding back their good stuff for later on.
I hope this helps with writing your replies! Looking forward to what's coming next. Hopefully after the next battle scene when we've secured the town, we can have more of a moment for our characters to actually interact in person as well.
