Pros:

• Good design, especially for the numbers we had. Simple premise, simple rules, and a great time.

Element Callsign: Allies Commander
Element Leader: Specialist Shanks Roderick

Pros:

• Great comms and synergy.
• Had great combined assault with tank and infantry
• Squad leaders did great self directed building the defenses of the garrisons.
• Actually thought the OP was made more interesting due to big AO compared to the turnout, made it harder to cover more ground and be more alert.

Cons:

• Bigger turnout would've been nice.
• Commander role was quite restricted. Would've been nice to have ability to bombing run or artillery within the neutral zone at the least for more chaos.

• Excellent leadership (at short notice) from Roderick
• Good balance of Commander abilities

Cons:

• Perhaps a smaller AO with those numbers (squad opinion was not unanimous on this point)
• A little disorganized at the beginning; consider assigning a commander a few days before with at least one, or better yet, two back-ups

GOOD FTX....THANKS
