Very true, but while exactly as expected I thought some would make it to the entrenched positions. Have to tweak a bit.

Questions:
What did you find odd/unusual about USMC deployment?

Was any of the initial deployment "wrong"?

How useful were the UAV's and MV-22's as spotters? Too much? I'm considering pulling the MV-22's as they're NOT recon helos, but they are part of a MEU and under the circumstances they're not needed for redeployment. The other option is to use Gulf Co in the MV-22's as the reserve vice Echo Co in AAV's.

How useful/effective did you find the inherent air assets (the F-35's) of the MEU? Decisive or merely handy?

The Iraqi's had an off-board artillery battalion (3 x batteries in a total of 6 x platoons) did your non-player-controlled "Ctr Bty Air" do a fair job dealing with them? Too effective?

I made the bulk of the Iraqi armor T-72's because M1's would be near invulnerable to SMAWs/AT4s but from the sound of it they never made it far enough for that to be an issue. Did you find the M1's difficult to deal with?

Did Iraqi AA play any role on the battle? Most was MPADs in M113's, did any actually deploy? Did the Iraqi MT-LB w/ZU-23's have any effect on your use of air?
