Element Callsign: Axis FTL Delta
Element Leader: First Sergeant West.B

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Private First Class Cameron.J
Private First Class Voci.P

Pros:
Fun Op - a good back and forth fight with the allies
Small squad operated well, and comms were good.

Cons:
Team comms were a bit unorganized. So the plan got messy in the beginning
Fighting around point can get messy, need to secure and spread out more to control a point.

 

[Hermes.S]

Element Callsign: Allied FTL 1-1
Element Leader: Corporal.Hermes.S

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Corporal Reign.A
Private Quaiscer.R
Recruit DeVriend.M

Pros:
Quick and aggressive offensive action in Cemetary
Great work getting the Node down within several minutes
Awesome coordination between fireteams to make a heavy push to the Western buildings from church
Solid defensive holding in those same Western buildings allowing for an extensive hold of the church
Good in squad communication
Heavy resistance to a force that was superior in the available arsenal.


Cons:
Reduce enemy artillery allowed to a single gun
Tunnel vision to the Cap-Circle when Church was lost
Inability to recognize the need for a southern garrison and taking initiative to place one
The inability for the squad leads to reapproach from the originally intended vector when retaking offensive after losing Church.

 

[Butcher.B]

Element Callsign: Axis Armor
Element leader: CPL.Butcher.B

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
CPL.Jinto.H
SPC.Taluto.P

Pros:
Was fun and good fighting over the objective. A repeat of the OP would be cool.

Cons:
The brief was hurried and disorganized. A junior member of the Cav should probably not be the commander unless they have a few ops under their belt first. Lastly, because infantry took us out the most, we should have had a squad with us to protect from flanking infantry.

Element Callsign: Allied Armor
Element leader: Sergeant Sotelo.R

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Specialist Choi.S
Sergeant Major Terlizzi.A

Pros:

• Good comms within tank crew
• Performance overall was satisfactory, did a lot while given little
• PFC.Riker was the mf'er who kept with us even through the arty and kept us fighting

Cons:

• Arty was crazy
• Armor might need to have direct line to command, to keep armor flexible and reactionary
