AAR 2-7 Battalion FTX - Operation Overlord 06JUN25

[Travis.W]

Element Callsign: Utah Beach, Allies, Recon How Squad
Element Leader: Corporal Travis.W
7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element: Captain Argentini.E



Pros:

• Made it off the beach quickly
• Plenty of smokes as ordered by Allied Commander Strider
• Good comms in squad, sniper had clear objectives
• Command comms were very clear, Commander's plan was simple and clear at the beginning
• Enjoyed marking tanks and seeing 2-3 squads or tanks tracking the tank marks with their own pings
• Between the two of us we took out 11 garrisons which really allowed our team to take the first three points
• Was able to use support boxes to reload flares. Could have used way more boxes too

Cons:

• The majority of the points were on the North side of the map, a little sucky
• Arty was a pain and the A,B, line were locked while we were attacking center point, nearly lost us the game
• Axis did an amazing job at maintaining garrisons in the A-C lines. Put them up faster than we could take them down. This allowed them to cut off all our advances on sunken bridge
• Was hard keeping any redzone garrisons up in the C-D line
• Our push along the river in C-D,5, kept getting flanked from the East.

 

[Sotelo.R]

Element Callsign: Utah Beach Axis Armor 1 - "Cheap and Easy"
Element Leader: Second Lieutenant Sotelo.R
7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Second Lieutenant Sotelo.R
Specialist Koalafied.C
Private First Class Giglio.M

Pros:

• My crews task execution and performance was stellar: we held a high standard for ourselves and corrected mistakes as they came and did our job.
• Armor overall for our team did amazingly, execute sector coverage and denial, and reacting to shifting enemy attacks as they came
• Infantry was awesome with providing support and feeding enemy intel, giving us tankers a target to send rounds to
• Sounds like arty went hard
• American forces really put us on our ass in the first half, really made us earn the victory

Cons:

• Comms was a bit dense, brevity needs some work
• We need to get those garry's re/built quicker, the first half was a text book examples of failing to ensure infantry spawns are maintained

 

[Mix.C]

Element Callsign: Utah Beach, Axis Recon
Element Leader: Major Mix.C
7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element: Specialist Baktash.L



Pros:

• Great turnout for FTX. Good show for 2-7
• Troopers thrust into unfamiliar roles met the challenge with poise and enthusiasm
• Managed to get organized and put together a good defense eventually
• Got the W

Cons:

• Poor coordination early led to our second point being nearly undefended
• Third point was pretty dicy too though we did manage to make it interesting
• Although the match ran a fairly long time I think offensive mode is fairly unbalanced in favor of the defenders. At least in a well organized match.
