Time of Combat Mission (Zulu): 2359Z (1959)

Element Callsign: Axis Charlie
Element Leader: First Lieutenant Rollins.R

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
First Lieutenant Rollins.R
Corporal Jinto.H


Pros:

• Was fun
  
  
  Cons:
• too much area to cover with a limited number of troopers
• defending most of the map points with 2-man defense was too hard to cover effectively.
• need to limit the ao when a low number of troopers

Element Leader: Staff Sergeant Sotelo.R

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Staff Sergeant Sotelo.R
Corporal Ackelson.K
Specialist Thrawn.N

Pros:

• Armor play was soooo good.
• We were able to keep the enemy armor focused on us, distracted away from our friendly infantry.
• Supporting infantry was relaying great info on armor and infantry marks.
• German Recon was pretty spicy hanging around our side of the river.
• Overall team advancement was steady but consistent, allowing us to maintain the ground we held and not overextend.

Cons:

• Honestly, the map is super unbalanced, and VERY challenging.

 

[Rhodes.R]

Element Callsign: Allies - Dog Squad
Element Leader: Sergeant Rhodes.R

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Sergeant Rhodes.R
Specialist Bahrez.R
Specialist Mueller.H


Solids:

• We did a good job as a 'special' operations section
• Mueller got the Enemy tankers with a satchel twice.
• Semper Gumbi
• We took the last point in the last seconds of the match, Sotelo now owes me bragging rights

Improvements:

• Bahrez had some crashes, so low numbers meant things were harder earlier on
• ... Map choice was less than ideal. If it hadn't played out exactly as it did, we probably would have had a much worse experience overall.
