Default Re: Fortifications question

"Do you know that for certain or only because no source says so directly?"

I am doing a research using photographic evidence, US Army manuals and reports detailing iraqi fortifications patterns, Iran Iraq war reports and asking to american veterans about the types of fortifications encountered during GW and OIF.
I am not finished yet and given the nature of the matter one will never be 100% sure, but that is where things are heading . As I said it is not worth the time for an official release but it is possible,for a mod, to make "historical" (to a certain extent at least) fortifications for some of the nations. The US Army manuals for example go to great lenghts detailing field bunkers construction, specifying thicknesses, materials to be employed etc. Pictures of actual bunkers in Iraq and show that relatively standardized patterns are indeed used.
