the indiscriminate use of 'area fire' weapons like artillery and heavy machine guns.

Artillery and machine guns were fired directly at rebel positions.
They were not used as area weapons. (Why no link Jim?)

I asked you where you got your "facts' - reply, came there none.

Do you not use the links I provide?

The rebels had no choice in where they fought -

Rubbish. No-one told them which buildings to occupy and defend.
It was entirely their choice, and they mostly chose residential areas.
They did not change their positions during the rising.

Why have you switched to the "Tans?" We are discussing the Rising. I have made no comment on anything else.
