Updates . . .
An Alert Reader has emailed me this link to a quick summary of the Battle of Hue.
I will post some comparative statistics later today.
Fox confirming 15,000 coalition troops actually in the attack.
Figure:
-one Marine regiment plused up with attachments and on steroids
-one Army regiment, armored, perhaps also with attachments
-three Iraqi brigades (British model: brigade = our battalion size)
More . . .

Where do you get this nonsense idea from? The UK 7th Armoured Brigade that moved into Iraq in March last year was bigger (and in some areas more powerful/capable) than any US Army BCT or a USMC RCT in theatre. The only deficit is the 'air' support which is attached as and when required rather than organic.
