Got some spare time now during Christmas.
Decided to take on this monster scenario.

Operation Galvanic.
89 turns.
Massive amount of units.

Time to unleash the Marines...

Turn 27...

Eastern ("north" on game map) part of Island mass of fire and smoke.

First wave on shore - Red 1, Red 2, Red 3.
Resistance heavy. Friendly losses heavy.
Second wave approaching. Issue in doubt.

Turn 50..

Second wave ashore.
Island cut in half by main assault.
Pockets of resistance near both ends of airstrip.
Enemy forces still holds eastern tip of Island ("north" on game map). Naval artillery working over western part of Island ("south" on game map).
Third wave approaching.
Some enemy going Banzai...

Thanks for the hard "work". Hope it was a challenge. And yes, the feeling "issue was in doubt" in the landing phase is normal.

I have great respect for anyone that can play a 50+ turn mission with max units (or close to max). That to me is super-humen.

Playing is easy - building the scenario is the hard part.
