It's a solitaire game that has the player controlling the Marines and allies against the insurgents. From the BGG description (penned by the publisher):
Insurgent units do not appear directly on the map. Initially, the player deploys “suspect” markers which represent a potential, non-identified danger to USMC troops. Their placement is partially random. Once fired upon or assaulted, these “suspect” markers are activated and their true nature (dummy, guerrilla, martyr, IED, or sniper) is revealed. However, USMC troops can also count on the support and fire power of a pair of M1A2 Abrams tanks. A section of Iraqi soldiers from the Iraqi Intervention Force (IIF) is also available, their mission being the capture of the mosque in Jolan, as the USMC troops do not have the right to enter that zone.

No CSW discussion group yet, though. But there is one for the company.
Finally - a wargame Guardian can play without worrying about, y'know, talking to other people!
