G40 Finals Ksmckay(Axis -38) vs Anchovy

[anchovy]

That went very well - Perfect D for those rolls would have been much worse…

Yeah, there were some thin battles there - Phil and Bur could have gone badly.  Sometimes it pays to be aggressive.  You gotta be good to be lucky…  :wink:

Yeah, battles like that are really frustrating, not only did you lose but you got creamed.  Really wrecks your plans when stuff like that happens.

I will probably do Germany soon as France wont have any impact on German turn.
