Team: Team 2

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Second Lieutenant Corbin.R
Corporal Pannel.D
Corporal Lothar.S
Specialist Thompson.L
Specialist Johnson.A
Private Barns.R

Pros

• Lots of new troopers, great to see!
• All in the HQ section had fun. It was a hard-fought battle and ultimately, we lost but we didn't make it easy for Team 1.
• Well-coordinated assault on Upper at one point. Good employment of SBF and squad movement.
• Didn't get tunnel vision on one path and attempted multiple routes of attack.
• Got a radio kill and bradley kill.

Cons

• Ultimately, we lost I believe due to being spread too thin. This was a good improvement point for the future on managing manpower better. Team 1 was very concentrated and properly supported by armour/motorized.
• The Bradley was too disconnected from the primary elements, I didn't have them properly supporting infantry.
• Need to work on map markers and communication of enemy positions. In HQ we needed to work on the 3 D's.
• Need to bring more AT.
