he's just visiting to get some tea.

Assassin 1 moves off as the shelling of Al Rafai continues.

The defenders Command structure starts to suffer. Communications are bad enough, but with no formal command structure loss of key leaders leaves the units adrift. Meanwhile Assassin 1 has the frontline seats for the bombardment and Cobra runs. The Iraqi view View from Assassin 3/2's position waiting to roll forward into the dust and smoke.

The Fedayeen occupying the town however have bigger concerns than the mosque. Recent students from Syria, Jordan and Saudi Arabia, they have not experienced any of the sheer terror of modern combat. 1st Recon units start moving towards jumping off positions. Unfortunately trying to drive a bunch of Humvees through even a lightly occupied town with one sniper in CM isn't gonna end up looking at all like what 1st Recon did in Al Gharraf. Assassin 1 units move into their forward position...…… on foot By the way if anyone is interested there is a nice site with google map links for the major locations in 1st Recon's drive on Baghdad. Also a really nice pic of their pimped out Humvees LOL http://www.americanspecialops.com/usmc-special-operations/marine-division-recon/1st-recon-generation-kill.php I've substituted Al Rafai for Ar Rifa- According to Google maps that is it's proper name. It's eventually gonna be Mahmudiyah in the Triangle of Death for units of the 4th ID when I get around to editing the map for that. Your map is getting near as much use for me as LLF's Ramadi map @George MC

Al Rafai 1:15am 1st Recon has spent the day resting (ha) and preparing for the assault through Al Rafai. The assault is scheduled for 1:35 am with a preparatory bombardment and support from 2 flights of Cobras. The Fire control team observes as the first rounds start to fall on the doomed town. The fires in the distance are roadblocks set by the defenders - suspected irregular forces with maybe a mix of regular units that have abandoned their posts. The effect is immediate The fire plan had been set to avoid if possible damage to the main mosque. Godfather watches in silence hoping that explosion was further than it would appear. He would unfortunately be wrong

Random? I guess you don’t see the blessed Virgin Mary there do you. Heathen.

Sea of paddies? Is that an outdoor concert in Ireland? Hey I’m Irish, I can say that.

That’s 2 comments. 5. no 3 sir!

Your problems isn’t is CM worth it in terms of the hours of enjoyment you’ll get. Your problem will be what other activities can you forego to make more time for CM. Your significant other may be a slightly bigger problem than cost.

Yeah I may have been a bit heavy handed and for that I am sorry. No need to apologize for me being left out, that would be my problem not yours. I was trying to get the back and forth to ratchet down a bit. I would apologize for calling you a nerd... but that would be disingenuous. As a nerd I recognize my fellow nerds. And just because I love this cartoon

seen this yet? And some info from the Vietnamese side with period footage. There are 3 parts at least.

both you guys need to tone it down a notch. You obviously have some major disagreements, but jeez cut the name calling and stuff. It would make for a far more interesting exchange for the rest of us if you weren't treating each other like 12 year olds. Or adult total nerds. Algo.. Algor... Al gore rhythm? What was that word @Sgt.Squarehead?

It's an expanded version of @George MC Circle the Wagons.

Yeah wait till they come, you are gonna love this s**t. And I am not once of those East Front grognards.

Meanwhile Hitman 2 and 3 overrun the crossroad position on their way to seizing the last canal crossing before Al Rafai. Oh wait, there goes Sgt Colbert!

A fire control party from Bn joins the OP where Assassin 1 and Assassin actual are set up. Unfortunately by the time they are in position the enemy mortar team has fired off their few rounds and retreated back into the town.

rotflmao, I was looking through clips to get the right mix and I saw the one with Sgt Colbert after the air base seizure. "Gentlemen we just seized an airfield. Pretty f**kin Ninja".

Exceelent - Godfather thanks you.

which mod is it? The thread doesn't have an actual link. the 3 color mod appears to be from Chris. Hmm that might explain it - I think I am looking at CMSF 1 mods...errrrrrrrrrr Got it, was under "uncategorized".

Excellent idea - trying it out though and not sure why it isn't showing, but it appears in naming format. Either that or I have the wrong mod. There are 4 marine uniform mods on CMMODs. 3 seems special force oriented and one is the 3 color mod. I may have to play around with this assuming I am in the right place.... Still you are absolutely right, these guys need a little work

There is a discussion on YouTube with the actual principle characters and Evan Wright. The characters are really well represented and the show is just funny as hell sometimes the book is worth reading but the film follows it pretty well

Assassin 2 comes under mortar fire from within the town. The battle for Al Rafai has officially begun.

Hitman 1 calling in arty on an enemy position, deterring the sniper that was drawing a bead on him at the time.

Assassin 3 roars across the canal under the watchful eyes of both Assassin actual (Cpt Patterson) and Godfather (Lt Col Ferrando) Assassin 3 actual (Lt Velasco) gets the first "oh s**t" look at the days objective Al Rafai . They need to push through the town as it's bridge is the only crossing toward their objective Al Kut for another 17 klicks.

Here you go
