Re: That's what they might say, but in reality there isn't much emphasis on small unit tactics. Wilko New
Re: No.  You are incorrect.  The Corps basic unit is the fireteam.  4 or 5 guys.  That's the building brick... rroberts New

	...there is ALWAYS going to be a rooftop for them to shoot at you.  If you are on one side of the street, there is always another side of the street.  And to get to the hot spots, you have to travel down streets surrounded by buildings and rooftops. and you don't know that they aren't covering the sewers as they can, although I doubt there is particularly good information about their locations and points of entry.  the cameras only catch the above ground action.  And the entry could be almost anywhere, and I for damn sure wouldn't want to be anyone traveling though it looking for  booby traps in the dark.  Running down a street with several pounds of combat equipment AND a 20' ladder?  the point aobut every house is exactly spot on.  Just as there is always another side of the street, unless you are clearing every single house, sooner or later, there there is an uncleared house behind you.  and that house would have a roof. it's not as simple as you are trying to make it out to be. and would yo not be screaming bloody murder if they did to Falluja what they did to Dresdin?

That's the umptieth time you've talked about "Dresdin". What on earth is Dresdin? Please fille me in... Wilko New

Dresden, Germany, was firebombed by the Allies in World War II resulting in large numbers of civilian casualties Gordo New

Yeah, I thought that he might have meant that, but there was no battle, no tactics, just bombing of civilians. Wilko New
