Mahdi Army Campaign.

Basically, Al Sadr's Mahdi army is a pretty large force, with about 40,000 men he can call upon, and at least 11,000 armed effectives at any time; and they can control large contigiuous areas of Iraqi urban areas; which makes a campaign centered around his Mahdi Army interesting; from both points of view; as the Mahdi player, you actually have a decent amount of fighters; not just the usual 10 to 30 men that an insurgent group has, while as the US player, you have to clear the city of his men while not incurring excessive casualties...
