Was that one of the phase-line advances at 73 Easting, where a scout platoon of M2s ran afoul of a laagered Motor Rifle cpy., and the M1s overran the scout's positions without realizing how close they were? I saw that on History Channel - real knife fight. One M2 was literally parked on top of a T62's position, suppressing it with Bushmaster fire into the top of the hull.
