Private First Class Joshothy.J

Pros:

• These historical battles are a blast - and add a lot of character operations. The changing "directives/events" made for an ever changing battle perspective. This caused commands to re-adjust assignments and caused shifting of battle scape. A++
• Troopers held lanes of traffic with SBF superiority and anti tank activity while holding the Foy objective.
• Aggressive mobile defense using two trooper elements assisted in holding the point.
• artillery felt good, not to much or to little
• the imbalance felt nice with armor on one side and not on the other

Cons:

• some short setup caused some confusion with leadership however it was quickly dissipated once contact started - minor con

Corporal Cantrell.J
Specialist Blade.B
Specialist Litvin.D
Private Walker.S

Pros:

• Squad did a great job. All orders were executed successfully and efficiently.
• We were always together as a squad and we could rely on each other. If a trooper was shot, another trooper avenged him.
• History lessons while playing video games, and that even though old people always said that playing video games makes you stupid. Take that old people!

Cons:

• Uneven composition of teams. The Allies had players with much more experience, which has a great effect with a smaller number of players. Suggestion: add a player level field to the signing up OP form. Squads should basically play together, but there should be a roughly equal level ratio between both sides.
• VOIP problems
• Complicated OPORD -> For example: black bars over "Phase Trigger" and "Live time in game" on Phase 1 slide. I didn't know which phase we were
