RE: Too much Iron in my Diet - Mundy vs Cannonfodder

I'm guessing no regular infantry squads got hurt. Probably a vehicle heavy unit.
24 June 1944
Invaders kick off. Setup took a little while, as I had to add battleships, destroyers and rocket ships to each invasion force. On top of that, one ASW and one minesweeping group will accompany each force. I forgot to get a cruiser-heavy ASuW group formed, so they'll be off next turn and catch up. Probably three days hence, I'll see about follow-up supply convoys. I'd like to have loaded up base forces, but I don't think I have enough transports to do this right away. I probably can, as some APAs were repairing as I formed these up. A big CV group with about 10 fleet carriers of all types plus two fast battleships will also tag along.
My troop bombing at Cuttack went very well.
This seriously weakened them. The paras there will attack them next turn, with the bombers hitting the troops again. I've got about 2-1 in AV right now, mostly from today's bombing. If I get lucky and take the base, two fighter squadrons will also die.
Over my armored unit two hexes south of Ranchi, KS just swept without the bombers, letting the troops move unmolested. I'm rotating Jugs through on LRCAP, though they take a while to get the fatigue back down.
