Hiya Guys,
Playing the CG and having a blast but the casualties are unbelievable. So far (end of T4 date 1) I have lost 17x747, 6x227, 2x8-1, 2x8-0, 2xM1A1 guns and some small SWs. Does this reflect the reality?
About 2/3 of the losses are due to drifting off map, into the teeth of Japs defenses and while seeking cover while in Open. Rolled terribly I think 20% of all my drops hit the Initial landing hex and all other drifted far beyond the normal average hexes for drift.
I (the American side player) have managed to take 3 of the batteries, carve out some map edge entry hexes close to the battery Cheney (Both left and right side). I do not think they can be retaken in this CG date but two are weakly held by 1-2 squads and no leaders.
The Japanese losses are very light.
Thoughts..?
