No problems found at all.

The order of battle from the Coalition side is almost dead on. I think two additional SANG companies from an adjacent battalion were attached to the assault along with Marine ground troops from TARO. The Marines from TARO also acted as liason to CENTAF and as artillery spotters. The extra troops weren't really needed though.

Really nice job with this Andy. I wouldn't change anything at all. Had a lot of fun playing this scenario.

Are you planning to do anything with the Iraqi assaults at Umm Hujul (OP-4), OP-2 and OP-6?
All sounds good. The USMC troops are the force multipliers in this one - try the assault without them or do something stupid and lose even 1 helo to the AAA and the Iraqis can extract some hurt from the attackers. (which is what happens if you try it AI v AI usually).

Not planning any other OP ones, am however playing around with the "battle of the bridges" just now but to give the AI Iraqis a serious threat level to the Kuwaiti 2 squadrons of Chieftains and 1 BMP coy need about the whole of the 2 Iraqi Republican Guard divisions... (The AI will charge in whereas in reality they stopped after the first surprise and picked off the Kuwaitis it seems).
