Peter Cairns Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 So far there has been a lot of talk about Damascus, but depending on the scenario, there is an obvious question should you try to avoid entering the city at all. web page Peter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moronic Max Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Generally speaking, cities are going to be comparative death traps for US troops, so they ought to be avoided as a general rule, at least by lighter formations (like strykers). Now, if they give us some Abrams and Bradley support, then I might be more willing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Cairns Posted December 13, 2005 Author Share Posted December 13, 2005 I know I posted the web page with the aerial photo of Damascus, but does anyone know what some of the main features are and the scale . Middle to upper far left there is a huge thing that looks like a cross between an airport and a race track? Whats the name and size of that central roundabout, and what is the dark cross on red building to the right and slightly down. also look how densly packed the housing ( if it is housing) seems to be in the middle right hand side.
