Element Leader: Specialist Giglio.M
7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element: Staff Sergeant Lee.N

Pros:

• Excellent communication all around (Squad/Command/Discord)

[Hermes.S]

Element Callsign: Allied - Infantry - Easy Section
Element Leader: Specialist Hermes.S
7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Captain Korfias.F
Corporal Donk.B
Specialist Hopper.J
Corporal Smith.N

Pros:

• Strong Squad work - Great initial push / hold.
• Great response times on calls
• Honestly thought CMD Comms were good. I think once the reckoning began, it fell off but initially, it was strong.

Cons:

• Armor Game tonight was tough - There was no safe route for them to traverse tonight. Not an armor prob, our lanes were abysmal
• Garri game is always a priority. Tonight was not the case.
• There was never an officially declared defensive squad - so this effort was sporadic at best never strong enough to allow a strong offensive push.

 

[Angels.N]

Element Callsign: Allies "Dog" Infantry Squad
Element Leader: Sergeant Nate Angels
7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Corporal John Binkley Williams
Specialist Rob Daver
Specialist Youssef Tawfik
Private First Class Earl Townsend
Private Mitchell Mote

Pros:

• Inner squad coordination was on point.
• Squad communication was on point as well.

Cons:

• Command chat was atrocious.
• Our garrison game was horrible, need some training on that. I understand that we were building them but we were building them in open areas, easy access.
• Barely no communication in command chat. No coordination.
• It was an operation where we were reacting to contact and no action towards the contact.
• The HQ camping was not alright. I understand that it is a Vanilla operation but damn, that wasn't needed.
• Enemies were just walking past us and no one was giving calls. We need to be more aware going forward.

 

[Sibley.K]

Element Callsign: Allied Tank Squad - Callsign Blood Spire
Element Leader: Specialist Sibley.K
7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Specialist Sibley.K
Corporal Jinto. H
Specialist Peterman.J

Pros:

• Good callouts from the team on direction of enemy pressure
• Strong earlygame performance overall. We did a good job responding to specific threats
• Enemy team deployed a lot of dedicated AT and had great back-line control. Compliments to the Axis for taking down our garries quickly and making it difficult to establish a line

Cons:

• Overall our Allied team struggled to maintain garrisons / pressure enemy garrisons & we got funneled into point-defense which makes it very hard to push out and counter the other team.

Element Callsign: Allies King Squad
Element Leader: Specialist Roscoe.N
7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:

Pros:

• Performed well as a unit taking down enemy garrisons in the back line.
• Great group cohesion, everyone worked efficiently to a common goal.

Cons:

• Units operating out of their AO.
• No established goal between squads. It was difficult to understand what the other squads were trying to accomplish.

• Allies never had good defensive garrisons placed for more than 5 minutes.
