Progress in the west is decent, but we won't be able to clear Fujisawa before the Naval Landing units reinforce the city.

That's a problem because follow-up units use the same landing beaches as the initial XIV Corps landings. That means some units won't be able to land.



Solid progress in the east.

The beach area is mostly held by Japanese units in trenches, but there are some bunkers as well. As Japanese units are Fanatical, they won't be bumped out of a bunker hex if you assault them when they're Disrupted, nor will they take additional losses when they can't retreat. That means killing Japanese units can take a loooong time.

At the time of writing this, we're at turn 151 and I have only destroyed maybe 3 battalions of regular Japanese infantry units thus far.
