I didn't realize there was an Abrams there too.
There were actually two Abrams brought in when Koresh made threats that he had AT missiles and could take out the Bradleys. There was also an M88 brought to support the tracks and a platoon of (4-5) M728 CEV that were used to deliver the CS gas in the final assault.

Did the M1s come from the Texas Guard or a Active duty unit? I noticed that it’s sand colored while the other vehicles are three colored.

Is that an Alabama flag?
Could be Alabama or Florida. Hard to tell from that angle

All the armored vehicles and 3 Hueys were from the TX ARNG, 49th Armored Div.

Not a great subject if I might say so.
You do know of the consequences of this action?

Seriously? What sets this subject apart from all the other events all of us model and which also had "consequences"?

“World War II fatality statistics vary, with estimates of total deaths ranging from 50 million to more than 80 million”
Those people didn’t die of boredom. And that’s all I have to say about this subject.
