Later today, I will launch the offensive on Cairo. Where in the order of casualties would you like the aa guns to fall?

Well I am home now and had all day to think of this and in retrospect, the Cairo Offensive may wait a round in order to drive out the Americans in Normandy…

I got 4 hits in Normandy on the first wave of attacks. I did not send any air support. I will chose the 2 aa guns as casualties, but if you want to swap them out for 2 infantry, feel free to do so on your next turn…provided they hold!  :evil:
