2003
A general overview of the first operation of the Iraq War, 20 March 2003.
Most of the units are correct to the order of battle although there are some additions to cover discrepencies and the narrative description. For example, I have added some additional air power at turn 8 as there probably isn't any and I would guess that there would have been. However, its not specified in the text. Also, there is no way to stop the naval barage once it starts unless you agree not to use it boyond the turn that it is specified to arrive. Also, I have not included all vessels in the order of battle.
Most importantly, there is little detail on what the Irais had there and so I have guessed. As with the US forces, where 1 or two tanks appearing is noted I have added a company.
All in all it should give a rough overview of what happened.
