Right, here's some figures for everyone to mull over.
The JDAM 2000lb bomb was the primary method of attack used against Longbow's attacks. Each Bobcat was holding two of them (there were 37 bobcats used in total), and the two Stratobombers used can reasonably carry 16 each (official figures say more, but I'm being fair. )
That's a total of 106 JDAMs used in the two assaults. The JDAM has an accuracy of about 13m, with a fragmentation range of 3000 feet, and a blast shrapnel range of 1,200 feet in radius. Between 0 and 110 feet from the blast, everyone will die. Between 110 and 400 feet, 50% of people will die. Each JDAM can blast a crater in the ground 50 feet wide and 36 feet deep. Powerful stuff.
The Bobcats also each fired 74 air-to-surface missiles at the amassed ground unit.
Now I'm going to be honest here and say that I honestly believe that had this attack been carried out in real life, not a single soul would have survived such a bombardment, but this is recwar, so let's be recreational.
I'm going to suggest that, by the very nature of their work, the infantry would have fared ever-so-slightly worse than the snipers, but in all humans would have done far worse than machines, due to their fleshy outer coverings.
As such, here are the damages:
447 veteran anti-vehicle infantry dead
454 veteran infantry dead
212 engineers dead, 10 severely injured, 3 slightly injured
106 grenadiers dead, 1 grenadier without legs but otherwise fine
223 special forces infantry dead, 2 slightly injured
201 special forces snipers dead, 3 injured severely, 2 slightly
18 M1 Abrams (of the spec. forces) destroyed, 1 needs work
72 M1 Abrams (other) destroyed, 1 turned over but otherwise fine
442 M1097 Avengers destroyed
43 Hellfire launchers destroyed
36 RAM launchers destroyed, 5 need urgent work, but fixable
20 ABM launchers destroyed. 1 scratched. Slightly.
EDIT: I almost forgot! 1 lawn gnome destroyed. HA!

1 complaint about the casualties:
the lawn gnome
due to the structural intergity of said lawn instrument, it lost its lower half. the cross-sectioning of the small wooden figure revealed that it in fact was not just wood. it was lead based paint as well
casualty edit: 1 lawn gnome => .5 lawn gnome
remaining lawn gnomes: 14 whole (if i remember right), 2 half. moral is high.
