It was Operation Archer and we had two humvees and a logistics truck. The humvees were in the front and in the back while the truck was in the middle. As we were driving to set up a FoB somewhere, we came upon a road that was surrounded by cliffs on both sides. Of course I had a feeling we were going to get ambushed..but I doubted it. So we were driving along the road and then all of a sudden, you hear a RPG go off and the first HUMVEE gets obliterated. The truck came to a stopping halt and we didn't have time to react and crashed into the back end of the truck. Then all hell broke loose when we got fired on by small arms fire from both sides. My gunner was firing his .50 cal like a mad man but was eventually shot and killed. The truck driver, who was getting lit up typed in call caps.

"BACK THE FUCK UP!!" (Honking horn madly)

We eventually reversed the best we could, and it was slow and we could not turn because the road was so narrow. As we backed up, another RPG fired and the truck went up in flames. The shock set my HUMVEE's hood on fire so I ordered my squad to bail out quick. And as we bailed out, my first two guys were shot down immediately. The rest of us ran to the sides of the cliffs and started firing on the Taliban positions. My squaddy next to me was shot up instantly because he chose to stand from cover. My other two guys on the other side of the road were blown to pieces by a RPG, and I was quickly gunned down by the Taliban as soon as they saw me.

Sounds like the real one

In my case i was playing on Al Basra as insurgent, I took a technical (soloed unfortunatly, its hard to find good drivers and i doesnt help when i drive as good gunners are hard to come by) and by waiting at blind spots (right behind a bridge, right before a ramp, beside pipelines) or waiting in unusual locations I managed to take down 22 Brits (25% of my 32 man team's kills) 9 lorries (6 combat), 3 log trucks, loaded lynx(3 passengers? i saw 3 rag dolls), 2 firebases, and 2 scimitars with mines totaling 64tickets for 3 deaths.
I had 3 close calls when i came upon an APC/scimitar that i had to outrun.
1 close call when an armed lorry caught me soloing, i managed to drive around the edge of the VCP and got into the 50 cal, it was close as the lorry showed up before i could shoot for around 2-3 secs but missed with all his shots. I managed to waste the gunner and then the driver as he tried to escape.
I managed to ambush a firebase in the desert by a bridge by first scout ahead, then driving my tech up to the pipeline, shot at where i knew they were and leave, all of this was under 10seconds so they couldn't shoot back. I managed to do this multiple times before they called a APC on me.
There was also a time when i entered village hoping to destroy abandoned lorries as the fighting shifted into the city, the blue guy with me on the .50 got shot so no gunner and the close range nature of the village made it impossible to solo a tech and survive. So i hid the tech, the guy got his own armed lorry but abandoned it for the smae reason as I did. and i managed to play hide and seek for 2 minutes as I even attracted an APC into the village (i wished i had some explosives left for my sapper kit). Anyways I assesed my sitiuation; there was no way for me to kill him head on so i had to stay stationary for a better aim, and i heard a brit LMG going off nearby so there was atleast 2 guys here i decided to wait and hope he loses interest or runs into my sights. Luckily the APC got bored and left and the brit eventually found the tech and shot a few shots at it giving away his location (no idea where the machine gunner went) so i managed to make him atleast bleed. Waited in a shack facing the firebase he probably go to to get patches, i was about to leave when i heard "i need a medic now" right outside my hut, shot him , picked up his kit, destroyed his lorry and the firebase
