I really enjoyed this episode I'm not one to pick out small mistakes or logic errors ;just want to be entertained and this did the job. I was particularly impressed with the sets really authentic.

British lack of Tactics
dncorp8 October 2017
Warning: Spoilers
British Royal Marines are Not Special Air Service (SAS) nor are British Royal Marines considered "Special Forces". Belgium FAL Rifle 7.62mm (600 meters) aka British L1A1 Self-Loading Rifle best weapon compared to M16 5.56mm (350 meters).

Only one Range Rover with a machinegun, British learned nothing from World War 2 as SAS at North Africa.

British Military Police no Rifles? British Sterling Submachine Gun (200 meters).

Leave the sergeant behind at an undefendable location. SAS would have stashed him someplace so that he could not be seen (compromising the Mission if found).

"Take up Defensive Positions" inside an undefendable gully. Enemy has advantage of shooting from sides of gully using the hills as cover.

SAS would never do a frontal assault, they would have split into two Teams gone up the sides of the ridges, and come down on both sides and or from behind. The Enemy would have placed Lookouts and Overwatch on the ridges.

Climbing up a cliff, so that Enemy has a big unobstructed Target, not smart.

Recovering head and not rest of body. They would not have dragged the body away (too much effort, waste of time).
