House to House, by David Bellavia
Wow. This is intense, as advertised in this thread. The final room-clearing fight is still rattling through my head, a day after I finished reading it.
I was possibly most impressed by the fortification work done by the jihadis, building house-sized IEDs, bricking up doors, windows, and stairwells to channel the Americans and Iraqis, and removing stairs to limit roof access.
Relative to T2k, I was also impressed by the massive amount of bullets shot, relative to hits recorded. It reinforces my impressions that the low number of hits/accuracy/etc. in T2k v1.0 rules (1 roll per 3 bullets, accuracy limited to 60% of skill).
Something else struck me, maybe I missed something-- only 2 squads in a Bradley platoon?
