See Battleplan: Special Operations if you can

[John Kettler]

Just finished watching it on the Military Channel. The program intercut between the development of the Resistance and insertion of the Jedburghs before D-Day on the one hand, as well as the odyssey and massacres caused by SS Panzer division Das Reich, set against the use of Spec Ops in OIF, complete with specially declassified hide images on the other. The part of direct interest to CMSF players lies in the Northern Tier pitting Special Forces and Peshmerga against Iraqi tanks and APCs, this after an extensive discussion of how the Special Forces organized for combat and the vehicles used. The fight involved tacair, Javelins, MGs and more in a most atypical fight for the Special Forces. See this episode if you can. You'll be glad you did.

Cool. Viking Hammer doesn't get enough air time. A tough fight for such a small and undersupported force.

Masters of Chaos has a pretty good overview of the before/after and the battle itself.

At least I think this is it.

I remember seeing footage about that Blue on Blue bombing in Iraq that the BBC reporters were at.I never heard about the abandoned t-55 and the intense battle that took place though.Good show,Special Operations is as old as the bible and some special operations are even mentioned in it.

Yeah, you got it. The whole series is worth watching - there's about 20 episodes or so, and can be found as a torrent.
