I'm really glad to see another 1 km insurgency map I think the size fits insurgency well especially since the city is the focal point of the map since there are not large fields surrounding it.

Just wondering, but why are there M2A2s instead of LAV25s?

Map looks wonderful, though :D

because both the USMC and US Army where invloved in the real Assault and securing of fallujah and they both worked together giving each other support etc, the M2A2s are there to show that the US Army is giving some support to the USMC's search for ammo caches ;)

Little backstory...

The US armed forces actually told the civilian populace beforehand that they would be coming through and that they should leave. The majority did and the mostly foreign insurgents set up camp in West Fallujah in order to combat the US in an almost sort of 'last stand' attempt. The USMC on the western end and the US Army on the eastern end swept from the north end of the city south to clear out the city.

Fallujah was once a main port city on the Euphrates but when Saddam put the highway network through Iraq it was largely overlooked. This made it become more of a 'slummy' type city overall and although it has larger buildings the economy there was dieing quickly.

The small highway separates the north and south sides of the city, the US waited until nightfall to cross into the southern side since there was very little cover. At one point the insurgents pinned down one platoon of Marines in a corner market, only to have the Marines blow their own door in one side of the shop with C4 and join up with the main body of their forces.

The far south end of the city is littered with suburban houses surrounded by walls which caused some difficulties in clearing out. From what I have read most of the US casualties occurred on the south end as both the terrain changed and the insurgents were preparing to become martyrs. Many of the buildings in this area were hit by Abrams rather then be cleared by infantry just to be safe.

Kudos to the mapmaker for this map and I hope it is as fun to play as it was to read about Marines going through this city.
