[Hermes.S]

Element Callsign: Eastern Assault
Element Leader: Staff Sergeant Hermes.S
7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Corporal Jinto.H
Specialist Quake.B
Specialist Anderson.P
Private First Class Slagg.J

Pros:

• Cav's first competitive victory!
• Strong initial push into the center point, all three times. (first to arrive)
• Strong organization from the top down.
• Each squad held excellent discipline in staying in their assigned area.
• Solid defensive work from all squads
• Effective communication both in CMD chat and local.
• Despite losing the first round, moral stayed high, driven, and focused.

Cons:

• Could've held the first cap in the first round: Once in place, make the enemy come to you. We rushed a little past.
• Remember the hard cap can be capped on the outskirts as long as you're inside the black circle. Even if that means you're behind a giant hedge row. We could've used this idea to our advantage in the first round.
• Taking control of the main road leading into AA Network proved to be as important as holding the eastern fields. One could creep the hedge row and hide within the hard cap. This road also allows fluid movement to and from the hard cap to the field. It also is superior to an open field.
• Some minor over-extending during defensive actions. The majority of the said squad should be within 20-30 of the hard cap. Anything past 50m that isn't designated as a harassment squad can be costly.
• Need to work on making our shots count. Low and slow.
