Pros
  • Great Operation. Very fun.
  • Excellent Comms + Teamwork.
  • We were efficient and lethal.
  • Our Section had a lot of kills + captures.
  • Indirect Fire from Engineers was on point. Excellent work.
Cons
  • We felt "held back" a little, as we were in a position to perform some quick attacks on next points, but never given the authorization.

Sustains

  • Overall very fun operation; all Troopers said they had a great time
  • Great leadership and coordination between Section SL and FTLs; SPC Sayers took over as FTL seamlessly halfway through
  • Excellent coordination between Sections for Team 1 under MAJ Ryan.BF
  • Mortars and indirect fire support was extremely accurate and communicated well
Improves
  • Keeping a single squad on defense led to some boredom. Consider mixing up roles over the course of the match.
  • Communication and call out like the 3Ds were sometimes lost in the excitement.
