Thanks Darksheare. Now if we can just get a military man here to check it out for us. I wouldn't even pay much attention to this, if it wasn't for the way it is being spread all over the internet today by the lying scumbags over at the DU(god forgive me,but I hate those people)! How far is it from Karbala to Al Hillah? If we knew that, we could make an educated guess. The problem I had while trying to look into this, was that most of the internet maps have been reduced so many times,it makes it almost impossible to figure out the scale.
I was 13B, cannon crewmember, map reading wasn't stressed too highly for us.
If the scale is at all close to my ancient Fort Drum map, then the scale is 1:50,000 with one inch being one statute mile.
However, different scales areavailable.
One being 1:20,000, another being 1:100,000.
