Pros:

• Good movement and 7man squad hopping by troopers
• Good work by McCann and Stout on working as directed and keeping key positioning
• Special shoutout to Stout for doing the crucial work of keeping defensive posture in case we needed to send troopers back

Cons:

• Start could've been more organized as we had a slight hiccup getting to the point, that's on me on not communicating early on what Blue team intended to do.

[Fox.F]

Element Callsign: Red Team Leader
Element Leader: Sergeant Fox.F
7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:

Sergeant Riley.D
Staff Sergeant Finnegan.C
Private First Class Bouzer.M
Private First Class Vargas.C
Private First Class Noren.M
Specialist Smith.ER
Private Whitaker.R
Private First Class Furches.W

Pros:

• Tunnel placement and the amount of tunnels placed was fantastic and greatly improved from last match.
• Excellent shooting for the team, completely out shot them.
• Tankers destroyed their tankers. Infantry helping repair tankers in the field and covering them was a huge bonus.
• Solid communications and flares allowed us to always know where they were and we sent squads to clear them up instantly.
• Great start on the attack. Rasmus and Swanson gave them a surprise reach around.

Cons:

• D'Amico's baseball game was cancelled.
• Would be nice if people signed up earlier to put less pressure on OP runners.

 

[Roscoe.N]

Element Callsign: Green SL George
Element Leader: Second Lieutenant Roscoe.N
7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Staff Sergeant Beauchamp.R
Private First Class Schumaker.J

Pros:

• Great command communications, lot's of strategy based call outs rather than narrating marks on the map. Really feel like we are starting to find our rhythm in that aspect. Super crucial to the success of our games, which shows from the fact we dominated from the rip.
• My squad was incredibly responsive and proactive, both Beauchamp and Schumaker are all star troopers. Great to have them join in on the ExFor matches!
• As the primary defense squad, when we needed assistance back on the point the team reinforced with great effect. Every point we captured we defended successfully. Such a solid show of force and strategy, very exciting to see.

Cons:

• I don't understand the call to have the main attacking truck leave from middle HQ during match start. Straight road right into point, so unless we did that so the helicopter hot drop wouldn't destroy us it confused me.
• During one part of the match, we had almost lost the defense point. This was primarily my fault as I knew a helicopter had dropped troops off on our flank, and destroyed our tunnels in our flank. I should have relayed this information earlier.
  
  It is difficult to distinguish the size of the attacking force, but moving forward it's just something to look for. Even not distinctly asking for troopers, calling out what we're seeing and letting Command Chat know to create a battle plan in response to their push will be something to think about in future matches.

 

[Freeze.T]

Element Callsign: NVA Mortar Squad
Element Leader: Specialist Freeze.T
7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Corporal Williams.S

Pros:

• Plan was executed well.
• Command comms were clear and everyone kept it concise.

Cons:

• Mortar effectiveness is hard to discern. Kill counts tend to be low (over the last few FNFs I've played mortars), but are they providing suppression or area denial to help the team, or does it just take two players away from doing something else more useful? Yes, you can see where they land on the map, but is it actually helping the team? Could be user error from still learning the new class, but more feedback from command/infantry during the game would be helpful.
