November 7th
Another attack on Karachi today, this time the Naval and air bombardment was coordinated with the attack. Fatigue was in the low teens for most units, my forts in the hex were at level 2. despite the increased fire support, casualties were still high. I'm gonna need more troops , and more Arty, as even without forts, I'm not sure that I can ever muster enough AV to take the city. At the very least my Units are gaining a ton of experience during the siege. The two Tank Divisions have around 70 exp now up from their initial 55 at the start.

In other news it appears that Dean is attempting to resupply his troops on Adak using C-47 skytrains and B-17Es and without sweeping my fighters beforehand. He loses 8 B-17s and 4 C-47s for his trouble.

RE: RA Soulsilver (J)vs Deaniks (A) - 
the 20th Div was nuked and will retire to Hyderabad to recover, the rest are intact enough to just switch to reserve for around a week or so. My forts are at level 1 rn at Karachi, but will hopefully be at level 2 by the time I attack again. 
Just sucks that the class is online and completely asynchronous. 
is very different from "Let's eat, Grandma!" 
I am sure that Grandma would appreciate that.
