  1. Here is what im trying to emulate with that particular thing m.billy:

    "Speyer explains that the Russians were sloppy in talking in the open on their communications systems. Almost all Chechens speak Russian, and they were able to listen to Russian messages and transmit misleading instructions that redirected Russian artillery and aircraft missions. Russian interior troops in particular were careless about unsecure radio communications, Speyer adds.

    Dilegge adds that Russian forces ignored many other basic communications security procedures. In addition to not using cryptography, they did not regularly change frequencies because of the logistics challenges of synchronizing the process among every unit. U.S. forces, by comparison, change their communications format every 24 hours. Chechen officials claim that they could intercept Russian tactical communications on their own commercial off-the-shelf radios. Code phrases used by the Russians in open communications were easily deciphered and understood. Helicopter traffic, aircraft communications and satellite telephony all were intercepted, the rebels claim".

  2. The Louch,

    This is information ive been looking for myself.

    A quick check on google map will also show typical layouts for chechen villages. I see alot of these E (minus the middle -) shaped buildings. Bigduke; are these typically farmer buildings and single storeys?

    Ive been thinking about a Komsomolskoye type scenario or a Kizlyar raid one (which has to be the craziest insurgent raid ever, read up on it).

    The reports I read on the Komsomolskoye battle is that trenches were dug in between the houses and that reinforcements managed to sneak in (and eventually breakout) from the nearby woods. Could make for an intense fight.

    The village isnt really hi res on google map and this was the only overview I could find:
