[QUOTE="Silver Moon, post: 6247896, member: 8530"] She gasps and says, "Oh no sir, my sister would never agree to such a thing. It is you who she is indebted to for these negotiations, not those old American men. Colonel Hassan returns with papers in his hands. "I have the breakdown here, by unit, of all troops as of three days ago. The summarized version is that for the Battle on Kassassin on the 10th the British fielded a total of 18,543 troops. Of those, 285 were killed, 1,922 wounded and another 63 missing for a total of 2,270 casualties. That left them a fighting force of 16,273 for this morning's battle. The fighting was comparatively light, having just gotten started, when your team arrived and forced the truce. My staff estimate that during this morning's skirmishes fewer than 100 British troops died with around twice that number wounded, which would leave their fighting forces at approximately 16,000. Those are the troops right here in this region. Elsewhere in Egypt the British have 3,129 Naval forces and 2,331 army forces for a total of 5,460. They were primarily assigned to Alexandria, although many of those naval forces are currently docked at Port Sa'id and the town of Suez, as their ships were the ones used to transport the army to the canal. Does that help Mr. Eastman." [/QUOTE]
