[Dread.M]

Name of Combat Mission: Opération Sauver La Famille
Game: Hell Let Loose
Server Hosted on: Event
Date of Combat Mission: 04JUN22
Time of Combat Mission (Zulu): 1930Z​

Element Callsign: Axis Command
Element Leader: First Lieutenant Dread.M
7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
First Lieutenant Dread.M

PROS:

1. Axis squads coordinated without direction
2. Axis squads won a lot of individual gun fights holding WIN7 for most the match
3. Axis tanks were flexible. The tank swap at the phase change was seamless
4. Allie recon squad kept me on my toes consistently trying to keep back garrisons in place
5. Allie tank teams were brutal to combat

CONS:

1. It would have been more dynamic with larger numbers. I felt extremely behind the ball once rounds started exchanging. All three squads performed so well I was able to get my feet under me going into Phase 3.
2. Didn't get to establish 3 separate node locations to give airborne a chance to hunt out nodes.
3. I didn't go into the mission with a plan and signed up last minute. I could have coordinated better.

Pros:

• Very effective Anti-Tank infantry maneuvers.
• Each fire team having the ability to read the battle and adjust without being told or asked.

Cons:
