[Sotelo.R]

Element Callsign: Match Admin
Element Leader: Sergeant Sotelo.R
7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Sergeant Sotelo.R
Staff Sergeant Bizutto.A
Sergeant Rasmus.M
Specialist Martinez.X
Private First Class Delorme.M

Pros:

• Admin staff did an absolutely bang up job on helping these dual matches run smoothly
• 10th Mountain and 19th Engineers were very receptive of the ruleset, patient, and were wonderful guests
• Overall fun time with members watching the match in progress in the spectator channels

Cons:

• Very few. Maybe better awareness of reduction zone timers

 

[Button.J]

Element Callsign: Swamp Thing
Element Leader: Corporal Button.J
7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Corporal Berkowski.C
Private Laui.M

Pros:

• Great map choice and rule set.

Cons:

• Shrink of area could be faster, also swapping of final points to prevent turtling (which totally worked in my favor)

Element Callsign: Axis Lead Tank Match 1 - Ajax
Element Leader: First Sergeant Balazova.S
7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
First Sergeant Balazova.S
Private Raid.R
Recruit Russell.T

Pros:

• Rule set was interesting and incentivized active gameplay
• Coordination between the tanks was good
• Cav beat the 19th!

Cons:

• Zone reductions could be more frequent, we found that the zone reductions were so delayed they became trivially easy to work around.
• Selecting the zone order is of little impact, recommend that a standard order (Top, Mid, Bottom) be used and just allow winner of the coin flip to choose faction.

 

[Leifried.R]

Element Callsign: Daddy's Belt
Element Leader: Specialist Leifried.R
7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element :

Corporal Massey.A
Specialist Winter.A

Pros:

• Rule set was appropriate, good level of gameplay (skill)

Cons:

• Lock out the inner two columns to begin with to avoid rushing the 'final' destination and jockeying for position

Pros:

• I enjoyed the ruleset for the most part.

• Great Turnout!

Cons:

• 10th Mountain Played extremely conservatively after the first round. Perhaps more shrinkage is in order?
