Pros:We enjoyed the Op. We did get slogged down by larger force in the area south of Town Center and did our best. It was Cahill's first op and he enjoyed so that was a great thing.

Element Callsign: How (Allies)
Element Leader: First Lieutenant Rhodes.R

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
First Lieutenant Rhodes.R
Specialist Lewis.P
Specialist Mendoza.H
Private First Class Atkins.DS
Private First Class Milkovic.D

Solids:

• Had a fuckin' excellent time. Huge props to SPC Flick for the last minute planning, and extremely HIGH QUALITY planning. Everybody had a role, and it all worked.
• Amazing command comms. Not too much, not too little. Always relevant.
• Great inter-squad cooperation, I worked with Jay primarily and he was fucking excellent, always watching our flanks and working together great.
• Insane squad, each member had 200+ CE at the end, and were always where they needed to be. Props to Lewis for 300+ with MG (while on the attack)
• Great timing for our attacks. Just as we were going to the Vanilla mode we captured the the point and were able to exploit and take initiative for the rest of the match. If that was intentional, Flick is god-tier.

Improvements:

• Last minute reo-org, putting Jay in charge of the secondary and having to move people around caused a few issues. Meant I was busy working on that while Flick was giving a briefing.
• Server lags, as always. Would put two shots into people and they wouldn't go down.

 

[Woody.W]

Element Callsign : Allies Baker Recon Squad
Element Leader : Specialist Woody.W
7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Sergeant Bachelder.A
Private Beaudoin.JL
Specialist Ackerman.J
Pros:

• Really well balanced teams
• good fights!
• good squad coms

Cons:

• lack of command coms from our team... was little chatter
• lack of a support squad to help command to build Garry's to many airborn trying to break threw like in and around our back lines..
• AO restriction made it painful to get past middle.. brought me back to the days there was no trucks and you walked everywhere fighting hedge to hedge

 

[Macpherson.C]

Element Callsign : Axis Able Squad
Element Leader : Second Lieutenant Macpherson.C
7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Sergeant First Class Herber.R
Sergeant Wagner.D
Corporal Felton.J
Corporal Grimshaw.J
Specialist Darko.M


Pros:

• Absolutely outstanding performance from my squad throughout the match, kept the town centre point in contention almost solely for majority.
• Like the concept of the Op

Cons:

• Lack of awareness on the map on the Axis side
• Lack of understanding/reading of he oppord ruleset

 

[Swanson.B]

Element Callsign : Axis Commander
Element Leader : Second Lieutenant Swanson.B
7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element: None

Pros:

• Great FTX concept! It allowed Airborne to execute airborne operations while Infantry focused on their role effectively.
• Teams were well-balanced
• The match plan was followed, everyone in Axis, played their part in working toward victory. but unfortunately, we didn't secure the win.

Cons:

• Realized too late that I had lost all my nodes.
• Didn't recognize early enough that I could utilize Bombing Runs and Precision Strikes.
• Underestimated the potential impact of artillery until it was too late.
• Comms went silent at times—though this may have been a personal issue. I couldn't hear Moreau in command comms for sure.

Note:
Having a secondary objective in this FTX didn't seem necessary. I don't believe any of my SLs kept track of what they and their troopers destroyed.

 

[Flick.J]

Element Callsign : Allied Commander
Element Leader : SPC.Flick.J
7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:

Pros:

• Good coms for first time commanding
• Enjoyed the flip to vanilla at 0:35
• Restrictions at the start were tough but manageable
• Squads had great reactions to enemy movement and were quick to respond
• SLs continuing to build and upkeep garrisons helped me a lot

Cons:

• Weird server latency issues made it buggy to drive the trucks and half tracks
• late assignments and people not showing up made it hard to plan ahead of time for my squads.

 

[Jay.JH]

Element Callsign : Allied Item Squad
Element Leader : CPL.Jay.JH
7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
MSG.Mueller.H
SPC.Leaf.J
SPC.Tawfik.Y

Pros:

• Really fun and very well executed
• The small squads meant each element could focus on their AO and flex if needed
• The switch up at the end 35 mins led to a more thrilling end and breather from the onslaught
• Felt a bit rough/messy to begin with - however, once fully coordinated the coms and movement was on point

Cons:

• Situation awareness, were many instances where enemy was standing/moving directly next to enemy infantry without either noticing
• There were a few moments where it became a slaughterhouse with the limited spawns
• Having the enemy capable of half capping before they hit the 35 in game time seemed a bit unfair, with them having a head start

 

[Bean.P]

Element Callsign : Jig Allies
Element Leader : SSG.Bean.P
7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
SPC. James
SPC.KUGO
Pvt.Tatters
CPL. Jinto

Pros:

• great job overall these guys kicked ass.

Cons:

 

[Ackelson.K]

Element Callsign : Tank A
Element Leader : CPL.Ackelson.K
7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element: CPL.Coutu.M

Pros: Good comms between tanks

Cons: Very little coordination or marks from infantry. Little or no cover from infantry. Two man tanks are almost useless on Carentan, suggest making fewer tank squads and focus on 3 man crews

Element Callsign: Axis Infantry Squad, George Squad
Element Leader: Staff Sergeant Wisniewski.A
7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Sergeant Solo.H
Private First Class Matthews.A
Private First Class Teague.B

Pros:

• Squad worked great together
• Though we eventually lost the mid point, the team as a whole was on top of it when it came to responding to threats and retaking the point during phase 2
• FTX seemed to accomplish the training goals

Cons:

• Once the map was opened up for Phase 3, we had a lack of coordination on the defensive side
