Pros:

• Our squad was able to reposition as the situation required without hesitation

Element Leader: Corporal DAmico.J
7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Specialist Davis.O

Pros:

• Coordination between tankers and infantry squads was excellent
• The line spread out effectively and prevented the enemy from maneuvering behind us
• Forces were allocated well in terms of good shooters being in the right places
• Airborne built an excellent network of defensive and offensive garrisons
• Communication between the offense and defense enabled us to move units in a fluid manner, proactive to the situation as it developed rather than reactive.
• Simply put-- we played our game and not theirs.

Cons:

• Initially after the midpoint cap, Grimshaw was calling for more people to spread out to the north and capture the church. Ultimately we were able to do it, but the reaction time could have been faster.

Pros:

• Team played well over all
• Effective formation of line top to bottom kept the enemy out of our rear
• AB highly effective both at garrison building and at undermining enemy attacks from the back

Cons:

• 10th was a shadow of their usual selves. They lacked key personnel and brought low numbers
• Command coms were pretty out of hand. Feels like we could work on our use of platoon coms and limit command to PLs or certain key information
• Room for improvement within AB on how we designate which trooper shifts where
  
  
  Over all a good win. There is a bit of an asterisk there but our improvement is evident.
