PROS:

• Developments worked as intended! Created great moments.
• Most reports are saying that the overall experience was fun
• It was recorded. Prepare to become movie stars!
• The one-life part was well recieved, even if implementation can use refinement. Expect to see more in the future!
• Attendance was actually exactly as expected. We planned for about 50 people, and got about that many.

CONS:

• Clearer info dumps next time. Time to bullet point that shit
• Need to figure out solutions for map flipping mid-match. It's okay to eat it in the beginning, but momentum is important. Can't spend 10 minutes mid-match flipping maps again.
• Key individuals did not show up, we missed a commander and some important squad leaders!

If you are missing from this list and attended, please notify Corporal Rhodes.R

Pros
We had fun. Love the historic nature of it and we really appreciate the work that was put into this thing.

Cons
The respawn gate for Axis could have been adjusted to 2/3 of the squad versus 2/3 of the team, we had guys who got killed quick and just stood around. I felt bad because they were getting bored. We tried a lot of new things and I hope we can adjust and learn but we love the direction.
