Need information on the Battle of Wadi Al Batin

The unit was 1st Battalion, 5th Cavalry, 1st Cavalry Division. If I remember correctly, they lost a couple of Bradleys from either tank or antitank gun fire. At least one of their M-1's was frontally hit by tank fire and the tank plt commander suffered hearing loss and other injuries which forced him to be medically retired from the Army. My knowledge of this comes from my brother as he joined the unit as a new Lieutenant shortly after their return from DESERT STORM.

No, that's an entirely different battle. The first battle of Wadi Al Batin took place on G-4 and is already a scenario in the game. I'm talking about the one on G+1. Very interesting that you know someone who was in it, though. It's always given the Americans a tough fight for some reason every time they fight there.

Well, guess what- I finally got off my *** and made the scenario.
