Pros:

• Good Comms Idea, with refinement and practice could be very useful
• Communication between squads did not lack even with new system
• good squad comms in tank
• enemy infantry put up a good hard fight
• tiger crew was really good at keeping moving and keeping us guessing, hard to pin down and flank him

Cons:

Element Callsign: German Platoon 1: FT-B
Element Leader: Specialist Rhodes.R

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Private First Class Jacobs.H
Private First Class Lemon.D

Pros:

• Comms were amazing and nicely silent.
• Playing with a smaller squad (fireateams!) I felt a lot more effective and a lot less managerial in my role as an FTL.

Improvements:

• Choosing a different point might make it easier for the attackers.

 

[Mix.C]

Element Callsign: Axis SL 2

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element: Second Lieutenant Mix.C


Pros:

• Big fan of the new Coms
• Op was fun over all

Cons:

• Some growing pains with the new system
• My squad was comprised of several disparate elements that were challenging to use effectively together.

Final thoughts:

Lots to work on here but a great step forward in how we can operate going forward. It cold be usefull to figure out how to shift command of various elements from one leader to another as needed. In this op I was forced to shift part of my squad south to aid Budds squad and it would have been convenient to be able to put them in his direct control.

Pros:

• Comms system was well implemented
• Great spacing for units covering lots of ground
• Achieved one of two objectives

Cons:

• Need to be fast at building those contested garrisons

Pros:

• Comms
• accomplished tearing down 2 to 3 OP's and wiping a few squads
• hold middle sectors in the north off point getting the drop on enemy forces
• Sap was consistent and def MVP of the squad, Also had Dubois come in and create an awesome assault on last point at the end killing at least 7 to 10 between the 3 of us(=

Cons:

• just 2 of us for awhile

• Liked the breakdown into SL>FTs
• Great fighting on point

Cons:

• Better attendance would have helped to give the full feel/effect of the Operation
