If this wasn't bad enough the last of the encircled troops at Howrah surrender today. Yesterday the two other divisions surrendered so after a few days resting Ill move onto Calcutta. Considering he only has 15k troops in the city I doubt it will take very long. After Calcutta I intend to cut across central India to force the troops in the south to either retreat, or be cut off. Based on the losses screen dean lost around 1k ground devices today.... So I suspect that I killed at least a Division if not two.
