So, after a bit of Google maps, mate and the map/scenario editor of the Marines module for Combat Mission Shock Force I have a map for the battle.
I don't claim the map being totally accurate, pretty or anything else. All I want to do is get a feeling of the real firefight.
It will take some time to establish the objectives and assemble a computer opponent. From a book I have read, there was a lot of enemy indirect fire on these Marines. |
The scenario will focus in the minutes after the crossing of the Saddam Canal, and sure enough it will be a hot scenario start. Man, I hate those type of scenarios! |
To the left, the last meters of the bridge over the Saddam Canal. It's a pity that Shock Force never got proper 3D models for bridges or water. Oh, well ... |
The "sandbox" part of Combat Mission goes all the way to quick and easy map-making. Still unrivaled!
Do you guys know of any Combat Mission Shock Force scenario/s based in the US Marines fight at Nasiriyah?
Cheers,

I am going to download the demo for this and give it a shot. I tried the CMA demo some time back and was not overly impressed enough with it to buy the game, but I am a sucker for anything where you can design your own missions and release content to the community.
Hi RangerX. I don't know if the demo will open this scenario ...
