OP: Steel Talon - March 14 - 15th, 2009

[TOP]

Guys please give some comments on what needed to be improved upon. I love it that you guys had a great time.... but let's raise the bar higher.

Lets see... the Cartel had a 1000 points and the US had 200

There were some problems during round 1 when the US didn't hear the start horn.... They would have come out a lot better.. Sorry guys lesson learned for me.

Best moments... gotta say those pesky missile shots into the village, as soon as those pete's went off... y'all looked like little mice running out of the buildings.

Thanks to everyone who endured the weather and the mud....

Again please post some AAR Comments for me....

Shhhhhh don't tell anyone but this was my first attempt at hosting... not just big games but really anything...

Artillery. Taking into consideration that the U.S. forces came from an aircraft carrier, I think we'd have had something similar to the unusually lethal Cartel Artillery. Because of a lack of this, we were severely limited in our ability to advance on locations such as Hamburger hill, whereas the Cartel forces could just call in an artillery strike and wipe us out after we've finally captured it.

Aside from that, I think that when I finally got to coordinating a few makeshift Fireteams on HB hill, it really became fun. The shots at flanking were also enjoyable.

Good point.. however the missile strikes were only into the village

[Depot]

Either way it was fun....and I certainly enjoyed the epic moments of defending Hamburger Hill against the Cartel forces....up until a shell landed right in the camp. Made me feel like an idiot diving off the side of the hill for cover...

I had fun being the smallest kid with one of the biggest guns.

That SAW rained plastic

[Bond]

Thumbs up to all the admins!
Great job, although the late start for the U.S. in Phase 1 made it almost impossible for us to gain ground on the terrorists...

Also, it seems unusual that the U.S. didn't have air support as well, or at least more medics.

Other than that, I had a great time!

[TexMex]

hahaha i remember you ollie.. we talked in line to get chroned.

[Variable]

Dangit I'm tired.

[I'd love to compare note with the cartel command staff to get an idea of how they managed the 100+ people on the field.

I think you might be overly generous using the term "managed".

[TexMex]

Top,i think a lil more communication about what exactly are missions are and have designated people stuck to them. that would help.

alot of people were just following and had no idea what the objective was

Your air support was grounded due to the weather.

Then they seem to have failed to read the OPORDER and their leadership didn't give them a mission.

You have evidently never met an F/A 18 pilot.

Besides, carriers never go anywhere alone. They move in a carrier group, which means missile frigates, which means cruise missiles. Also, the US military doesn't go anywhere without at LEAST mortars.

[Solid]

The only thing I would improve is the medic system, you should be able to be revived a certain amount of times before you have to go back for respawn, a lot of times no one would move anywhere in firefights because anyone that got hit came back in 5 seconds. Maybe like a 2 time revive cap. Other than that I was really impressed and happy with the event as a whole.

Well Phase 1 missions were made clear, after that...phase two and three were unknown to me.own to me.
