Element Callsign: Allied Squad 2 Fireteam 1
Element Leader: CPL.D'Amico.J

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
CPL.Rhone.T
SPC.Benjamin.T
PVT.King.DR




Pros:

• Local Comms only continues to be fun
• Entire squad had no negatives and enjoyed the operation immensely
• Coordination between squads was excellent when setting up garrisons to re-establish communication
• Briefing was very straightforward
• Simple operations + good briefings = great operations

Cons:

• The Germans had too many disadvantages and the operation was a bit of a steamroll

Other Comments:

I would recommend less restrictions on the defensive side and extending the operation to a longer time. A German counterattack after taking the middle point would really be excellent, but this would require extending the operation and switching to Warfare rather than Offensive.
