• Pros:
  • Many troopers loved the concept
  • We saw many new faces and many peoples first times playing in a modified vanilla operation
  • Over 50 troopers (biggest operation since returning from furlough
  • Overall positive experience BUT that also includes excellent constructive criticism
• Cons:
  • We still have people that are not signing up/showing up 5 minutes before/late
  • We do not have officers and higher leadership stepping up for Commander/SL positions
• Notes:
  • Many people would like to rerun this operation:
    • Consider changing the position of the nodes into the strong points
      • Will reduce the confusion on who can capture objectives
    • Consider giving armor a larger AO to maneuver inside
    • Consider trying another map
