The OP was talking about FIBUA or FISH & CHIPS* and/or forests - MMG are not that much help in such a knife fight. A belt of indirect HE laid danger close is the primary support tool to use here.

FISH and CHIPS - Fighting In Someone's House and Causing Havoc In People's Streets - a squaddy colloquialism for FIBUA
