[DAmico.J]

Element Callsign: Able Squad - Allied FTL 3-3
Element Leader: CPL.D'Amico.J

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:

SGT.Gibbs.B
PFC.Jones.F

Pros:

• Attendance was superb
• New communication system functions well

Cons:

• Ceasefire was not obeyed
• Flanks on Hugo's Farm were too far off the point to be effective
• Squads should have been larger, many elements felt like they had very limited firepower

More to add

The assault on Hugo's Farm took too long, and Germans managed to hold the point until the designated time was up. Allies had too many squads on the far east flanks, and the west flank was left with very little support to attack the German's main defensive positions. My squad placed a garrison to assault the center of the position, which forced the Germans to adjust. During this adjustment, the West Flank and East Flank managed to break through. This is important to note, as adding a third angle of attack is what allowed us to break through. During further training exercises and scrimmages, 2nd battalion should remember to adjust strategies according to the situation.

• Great job of taking superiority of our sectors and pushing forward to the primary and secondary objectives
• Great immersion with working infantry with armor and applying what we learned together into this FTX.

Element Callsign: Mike Squad - German Recon Team
Element Leader: Sergeant Johnny Becks

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Specialist Donato


Pros:

• FTL comms concept still good
• Good FTX in general, except for my con

Cons:

• Attackers had nothing to defend, allowing them to go for all out attack. Even when successfully defending a point, we were still forced to fall back, therefore hurting morale, and why should we care about a successful defense anyway?

Element Callsign: Germans FTL 3-3 (LOVE)
Element Leader: CPL Rhodes.R

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Corporal Rhodes.R
Specialist Lemon.D
Private First Class Jacobs.H
Private Beat.S

Pros

• Our CoC lets us do what we needed to do, which was greatly appreciated by all of us. We had a lot of room to use iniaitve, it was great!
• The action was fast, furious, and dangerous, and with so many people it felt like the waves of war were truly crashing around us.
• Command Comms were blessedly silent, so things were able to get organized and get done
• Our section had great communication
• I want to give a special shout out to Lemon.D and Beat.S for possibly changing the tide of the battle over the middle point. Working together, they supressed and knocked down an enemy garrison stopping a potential spawn point before it could truly become a problem for us.
• Tired Rhodes is Best Rhodes

Cons

• None

Suggestions/Improvements

• I would like to +1 the idea of allowing the attacking team to actively clear our remnant forces while the redeploy is going on, it would probably help speed things up.

Pros:

• Excellent teamwork within my squad
• Solid flank defense
• Great Reaction times
• Improved communication via comm setup
• Great teamwork within tank/infantry
• Outstanding repair work keeping the tank alive
• Defensive structures were beautiful

Cons:

• Interruption between rounds slowed either side potential momentum
• Allowing the allied forces to line up right on the border would allow for immediate shots on target obj.
• Left our backdoor open on the last round
• Too many axis squads were too far away from the objective to successfully assist in the defense of points.
• Too many requests to go back and forth to react. Felt all over the place.
• No utilization of the defensive structures due to being too far away
