is it viable that an iraqi insurgent squad
(in defense) can pick off advancing infantry at 400m.

maybe not 'pick off', but they could and do cause casualties from 400m. I'm sure most insurgent squads are using the 'spray and pray' method of marksmenship, usually followed by 'run like hell'.

If they are causing more casualties than you think realistic or plausable, reduce their experience by ten points, or increase US infantry toughness. If you play with the stats some, you can get the combat modeling dialed in just the way you like it.
