Element Callsign: BUFFALO-2
Element Leader: Warrant Officer 1 Hamm.C

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Warrant Officer 1 Hamm.C
Private First Class Burlas.J
Private First Class Korwel.J

Pros:

• Absolutely fantastic mission concept, design, and execution.
• Excellent and intricate planning with Phase Line utilization. Well thought out and expressed. Would love to see this much more often.
• Exfil at ENDEX was very successful and a huge plus for realism [which we should always have].
• Flight crew did an amazing job.
• HUGE thanks to Liber.N for the mission and incorporating previous feedback. #CombinedArmsBattalion

Cons:

• White smoke is a bad marker... period.
• Smoke issue at Exfil was not cool.
• Zeus activism ruins realism. When Sparrow crashed, we immediately initiated CSAR procedures to rescue downed pilot, as we should and always do. Zeus magic was instead used to fix the downed bird negating/ruining our CSAR opportunity. To the maximum extent possible, we need to always try and do things with realism in mind. Keep the "Real" in "Realism". I understand that there was a misunderstanding here, and that's okay, I'm just mentioning this here so that in the future, Zeusing thoughts need to be highly scrutinized before using it as a crutch or "get out of jail free card."

Element Callsign: Gunslinger 2
Element Leader: Specialist Rodahl.S

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Corporal Borenstein.B
Specialist Cobblestone.G
Specialist Phillips.B
Specialist Rodahl.S
Specialist Zander.D
Private First Class Stalker.E
Private Parker.P

Pros:

• No red light call on server start.
• Good Operational concept.
• Mines APERS/IED was a nice touch to activate Havoc.
• Nice timing on resupply, was early enough that we didn't run out of rounds.
• Good, consistent frames made this urban Op very enjoyable.
• Comms were very brief which allowed for a lot of information to be passed over the radio nets.
• I love to see urban OPs again. Maybe we could encourage more Bravo 1 plat to join for more complex practice.
• We all had a lot of fun.

Cons:

• Infidel hijacked platoon comms on a few occasions. I approve of the attempt to quickly get across information, just make sure the information passed is accurate and unambiguous.
• We had Havoc ordered to move ahead of Gun elements.
• More enemies inside buildings to liven up the towns would be a good way to keep things interesting and increase difficulty without spamming AI.
• There is a trend where troopers carry too much equipment. We should try to encourage trust in other troopers instead of kitting out "one fits all" loadouts.

Additional:
There was expressed interest in an MCC-style Warfare Wednesday. Personally, I think this would be a nightmare to organize with public players and late joiners and different load times, etc. Although I am opposed to this, I know MCCs have been run on the server with huge success, and I thought it was worth mentioning there is interest present.
