You don't. We fought on battlefields, at worst on the outskirts of civilian sectors.

Exactly.
Many of the soldiers were "civilians", in the sense that they were temporary militia, but they never fought in a city.
The only time this could even be close to right is when towns were placed under seige (i.e. the Americans trapped in Charleston or the British in Yorktown), but that was an effort to protect important places as opposed to using civilian shields.
