ORIGINAL: witpqs OK, maybe he had ~600 AV at Gunzan when he made that statement. First, "Attacking force" only shows the troop count for units participating in the attack (while "Defending force" shows all defenders). Second, naval bombardments and air strikes, perhaps aided by the landing actions might have knocked that back substantially. And of course there is trash-talk bluster. I think John had 300 AV here - 40th brigade and a tank unit. The Allied bombings, naval bombardments, and amphibious assault barrages, lowered that considerably. But, yes, there was some bluster too. As I said yesterday, I thought I detected a "worried John" in his comments.
