Allright, got this done.
Generally casualties are acceptable (though could be lower). Most were produced on mines, Italian fire was mostly inaccurate and was silenced quickly with my MGs and artillery. I was pushing hard to gain momentum and in fact to capture entire flag area in one battle. For this I was not prepared for strong Italian counterattack that stalled my advance and now my troops are in need of reorganization. But afterwards fight can be continued and fate of the defenders is sealed.
Let me send a messenger if they want to surrender, maybe I could capture some interesting stuff. If not: they have no chance. Indian resistance was weaker and their formations massacred defenders easily. The airstrip's control is still disputed, but there is no chance Italians will hold on open ground.
