Plasma,

You can rest assured that the insurgents don't have AFV's. I wish that they did, because nothing would scream hey, [censored] here, destroy me with a 500 pound LGB please, like the sight of an BRDM trying to tear through the streets of Baghdad. In the open desert it would be even easier to spot.

The heaviest thing they have are mortars, technicals (HMG's mounted on civilian trucks) and those damn RPGs. Oh yeah, they managed to pop off some SA-7s too. The real weapon of the insurgency is stealth. They hide in plain site among the population. The only way to make a realistic comtemporary Iraq scenario is too include special victory conditions that punishes you for killing civilians.
