Pros:

[Swanson.B]

Element Callsign: Allies Commander
Element Leader: Second Lieutenant Swanson.B
7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Second Lieutenant Swanson.B

Pros:
Very pleasing as a concept. Nothing extraordinary, but certainly one of the most anticipated operations. Simple. Knives, shovels, smoke. That's all. Pure hand-to-hand combat. Just needs punches, arm locks, and jiu-jitsu breaks to make the fight feel real. Thank you.

Cons:
The shovel digs, the knife divides,
One finds roots, the other hides—
Together, where the truth resides.
Knife > Shovel
Next time. please make this Knife vs Knife or Shovel vs Shovel

[Rasmus.M]

Element Callsign: Allied Easy Squad
Element Leader: Staff Sergeant Rasmus.M
7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Sergeant Warren.G
Corporal Moreau.M
Specialist Parton.D
Private Belmont.E

Pros:

• A lot of fun, change from usual. Great idea as an Halloween special.
• Great communication internal squad, callouts were on point and we kept working together closely.
• Great spawn assets spotting and hunting from my troopers.

Cons:

• We were lacking strategy and squad assignments as a team, each squads were kind of doing their things separately. Knife only sure is a different ballgame and we need to submerge opposite team with numbers working as a wedge.
• I blame myself for going all over the place and trying to fill every gap out there, should have sticked to one assignment for my squad.
• We forgot Defense at match start and took too much time getting out of HQ with truck.
• Let's have a full 100 Cav members next time, gonna be a blast !

Knife vs shovel unfair advantage recommend knife vs Knife or shovel vs shovel factions in future events.
include the use of satchels for future events?
