Pros:

• Really great squad work
• some great defensive play

Cons:
Very disappointed by lack of organization. S3 has created a clear cut system for preparing operations, deviating from this has clear consequences. Today we had three recruits completely lost in the shuffle and I managed to wrangle one, but the other two were very lost and confused. I appreciate its a training exercise but for those guys it being their first experience to be so chaotic and disjointed, its just something we have to take extremely seriously and I strongly encourage B Co staff to work closer with S3 for guidance and assistance in preparing these events if they are to be run as operations as they simply need to be better. We are ALL here for fun, RCT to GEN, lest us never forget that.

Element Callsign: Axis TC 2
Element Leader: Private First Class Lee.R

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Private First Class Kilo.M
Private First Class Thrawn.N

Pros:

• Adding nodes as additional defense points is a good and fun idea for an OP
• Tank crews performed extremely solid and held out the hill slope as long as they could at late game despite of the nature of the map and lack of dedicate infantry support early to mid game
• TeamSpeak was being funny today, but thanks to that we got the group picture!

Cons:

• Because it is Bravo Co.'s FTX so I don't really get to complain much, but to be honest: really not fond of the map and I think there are plenty of good maps for the same game rules while make it fun for other Companies (or it's just me. Had been playing Hill 400 5 times this week...). Due to the nodes being too spread out and Hill 400 provides little to no mobility for the tankers players to patrol around the sectors plus, no wiggle room for gun depression to provide effective support due to awful terrain.
• I feel like we need more specific directions to the tankers: escort other infantry squads? Hold the point? Half of the time crewmans were pretty confuse about their short term objective up until when the restriction was off. I would encourage infantry squad leaders to call for armor support more frequently instead of us tankers have to actively roll out to look for friendly infantries to support/ to ask for support without clear objectives; and as for me, being the TC in an OP/FTX for the first time, I will try my best to communicate more. GG!
