Non-7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Expandable_Joe


Pros:

• Good op, had fun!
• Good communication within team and with platoon.

Cons:

• Not many calls for Atlas, but the ones we got we made count.
• Movement orders need to be clearly passed down from platoon since we are not on the platoon net.

Element Callsign: BANSHEE-1
Element Leader:Sergeant Harvey.S


7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Sergeant Novak.I
Private Mo.A

Pro:

• A lot of contacts in OP and engaged a lot of contacts
• Always fun seeing a mix of armour, air, and infantry
• Saw ZEUS really trying to make sure we all had fun and had something to do
• Seeing Infantry clear houses and stack up on doors always makes me smile
• Zeus my unit the literal clothes on their back and love to see it

Con:

• Multiple IEDs, even on surrendering troops. Caused multiple track losses on the Bradly
• A bit of a comms mess due to multiple leadership transfers
• Would like to see premade mission files, but was well done with what we had
• Time zone change hurt a lot of individuals and saw a lot of individuals not able to make WFW because of this issue

Pros:

• Guerra stepped on an IED

• Element had quite a bit of dropouts

Element Callsign: Infidel-1
Element Leader: 1LT.Spiers.M

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
1LT.Spiers.M

Pros:

• 1x APC destroyed
• Good ISR of BMP, BTR and multiple M113's
• Was nice to be back in the Infidel slot, rocky 5/9-liners got better throughout

Cons:

• Mission was all over the place
• Night time/laser/vehicle lasers caused confusion to Hog pilots who miss-dropped bombs twice (not their fault)

Element Callsign: Gun-1 for first half of OP, Gun-6 for last half
Element Leader: Corporal Norman.B

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Corporal Norman.B

Pros:

• Great to 6 for the first time
• Everyone was excellent, comms were smooth, platoon movements were accurate and effective

Cons:

• Leadership disruptions caused transient chaos
• It would be nice to have a premade mission file. To me, the purpose of WFW is to give the public players a preview of what a Cav OP is like to increase the chances they will enlist. Hosting an OP on the public server means that, essentially, the public players are doing a fleshed out version of what they were already doing which defeats the purpose of WFW. I do, however, recognize that this is extra work for S3 but I think the expenditure of effort would increase the number of recruits, something 1st Bat badly needs.
