Pros
VERY FUN
Great way to use different tactics
Perfect ruleset for both infantry and tanks, no changes

Cons
This EXACT OP but on a different map would be nice, from an infantry point of view
Attendance was lower than expected, but infantry felt quite balanced

Element Leader: Specialist Sibley.K
7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Specialist Sibley.K
Sergeant Berkowski.C
Specialist Hoover.T

Pros:

• Awesome operation concept! Seeing infantry attack / defend the tanks with satchels was great. Watching for mines on the road was intense.
• Operation felt balanced on both sides with a good amount of back-and-forth over the point.
• Great command communications. Good information without being messy.
• Tankers executed directions to the T!

Cons:

• Would love to see this operation run again with more attendees.
• Ricochets against soviet tanks feelsbad like you're losing the fight due to RNG and not due to tactics or execution. Would love to try this again on a map with US vs. Germans.
