really leaves me puzzled... Mundy seems to move all his troops from Calcutta into Howrah, taking horrendous losses doing so and I have no clue what he thinks he could achieve... at least I know the reason for the river crossing of those two tank units earlier now, looks like he wanted to establish a beachhead across the river but it takes way more assault value to prevent a shock attack during the crossing of more units...
