Pros

• Phase 2 was fine for the most part until we got to the Power Plant interior.

Cons

• The start of Phase 1 was very chaotic and like hitting a brick wall.
• 2 out of 4 sections were not able to utilize their specializations.
• Command comms were extremely cluttered, sometimes not allowing sections to relay important info.
• Cadre.

Pros

• Good comms and movement in the section
• Rolled well with the punches
• Got the job done
• A lot of fun

Cons

• Last OBJ was a cluster
• Improve 360 and spacing
• Work more on fluid movements between FT felt like 2 separate squads at times

Pros

• Well put together OP
• Lots of enemies and action packed
• Fun to have AI and cadre OPFOR; kept us on our toes
• Good comms and leadership

Cons

• Last objective was a mess and led to lots of friendly fire
• Low attendance from certain sections should've led to a change in execution
• Reminder for troopers that maintaining a positive attitude with others is important, even if SHTF; this is a game and we're here to have fun

Pros

• There was alote of action
• Good placement for bots/capture points

Cons

• The west flanking attacking sections the route they took was not given enough of armor/vic support for what they were facing and also should've been given the option for air lift or water craft to get around the unpassable bridge and not just only rely on mortars and other emplacements
• Tell cadre were to exactly set or show a slide in red circle outlining were and were not to go so the main op does not completely gets ruined for some people or just put a player cap to cadre for events like this

Pros

• No Helis lost to enemy, seemed well organized from the air

Cons

• Cadre for such events should be limited to a select few that are briefed and trained properly. If you cannot meet that criteria simply dont have human cadre at all its that simple really.
• FTX should be built like all sections are having their SP in tandem. Suggest finding additional zeus controllers and planning phases by section to ensure their MOS is being actually utilized.
• Back up objectives in the event of players moving faster that expected are far superior to spawning the entire population of the continent from the first or second OBJ

Slinter? - Some 3 Letter Word Operative probably maybe?

Pros

• LDA's, Small unit tactics, and other training was utilized.
• 3D's and overlapping fields of fire were shown.
• Section Teamwork and Communication was executed to a high ability.
• Adapting and overcoming objectives as a small unit.
• Working with Werewolves and Pegasus over private coms and local communication was well done!
• CAS Missions highly successful.
• We fought over a Battalion sized troop (not exaggerating) on a SECONDARY OBJECTIVE as a 6 man team and only had one of our friendlies fall a single time.
• Cartwright Destroyed 3.5 vehicles (2.5 burnt out/were helped by Werewolves). 1 Enemy AA was destroyed souly by us.

Cons

• Our Final objective was very confusing for communication.
• Maybe it would be better to move command up to the higher number pads (10+) so we can communicate directly to sections.
• We did not complete all points but were told mission success.
• The enemies were unkillable at the beginning.
• I do personally feel that Cadre should not be allowed Zeus access unless they are mission controlling. They should have to play as if this were an operation on their side after hearing the feedback. My group have written a very detailed proposal for future cadre that I will be pushing up our COC.

Pros

• Teamwork was spot on had a lot of fun leading the team
• Lots of great stuff from privates and new recruits!
• Proactive force that was very adaptable

Cons

• We had to rebound a lot, which is okay, but kind of a bummer to not be able to be in the thick of it as much
• Cadre kits were broken in the beginning which was unlucky but we figure it out quick
• Cadre having zero respawn timer may have benefited from one lifes for cadre at certain point of the event

Element Callsign: 4/1/B/3-7 Bronco
Element Leader: Specialist Barbosa.M

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Specialist Reifel.R
Specialist Dhafeeri.M
Specialist Fritz.E
Recruit Maust.W
Private Grigorev.N
Pros

• Section performed well on all fronts, felt very well coordinated in spite of our circumstances. New troopers both showed great promise!
• Cadre put up a good fight and played intelligently.

Cons

• Tasking and the positioning of each Platoon's AO did not feel equally balanced. As a result of this, communication was not consistent on the Command Radio net, leading to busier Sections using the net more frequently, often leaving 4/1/B/3-7 unable to communicate with their chain of command.
• Specializations did not feel as though they were considered to the fullest extent in tasking and mission creation.
• Coordination of assets (CAS/Heli transport) was not made available to units who have previously trained around such coordination.
• Sanxian's a big map! Really heavy on performance! Meaning we were spread out across two land masses and only crossed paths with other sections by the end.
• End fight in the Nuclear Power Plant could have been approached differently, possibly involving putting troops outside on the perimeter for security or something of that nature. Sending 50-60 troops inside a tight space will make hearing anything a problem.
