I'm finding it difficult to process this, "...ISIL forces try to capture the city for a second time with the aid of turkish artillery..."

I don't see Erdogan's regime supporting Daesh forces; Otherwise, I want to check this scenario out.

Thanks

Is there a way to change the flags?

In the first scenario ISIL Fanatics and Foreign fighters had the same flag as the Kurdish squads. This made things a bit confusing when the house to house fighting began.

Hmm, I see you point. So it's possibly a mistake, which may have added a bit of realism, since daesh don't exactly wear uniforms. One day they pretend to be innocent by mingling with civilians, the next day they are shooting at you.

Not so much the daesh fighters pretend to be innocent as they follow this maxim articulated by Mao, "The guerrilla must move amongst the people as a fish swims in the sea."

He doesn't have to pretend as often is the case he is amongst his own people, hence "...as a fish swims in the sea."
