Pros:

• Both teams had great fun with the game mode
• Tigers were strong, but not invincible, as the American really gave them a run for the money.
• Griffin being on reserves allowed him to fill in when a 16th IR member had to drop. The crew was appreciative of that.

Cons:

• Tiger positioning away from the Allied HQ lines present long, time-consuming travel just to get into the Tiger's AO.

Pros:

• Crew performed their duties admirably.
• Event was fun and it seemed as though both parties enjoyed the gamemode.
• Amendment to the game mode after first round was solid.

Cons:

• Although the event was fun, it was not necessarily inherently competitive; likely 3 vs 3 game mode would be more comp focused.
• Changes to the game mode should be made prior to the first round so as to keep the competitive integrity of the event.
• Turnout from 2nd Platoon could have been a bit better.
