16L G40 Balanced Mod 2.0 Arthur Bomber Harris (Allies) vs Shin Ji (Axis)

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

I was hoping that even battle would have gone my way… can’t catch a break with the dice.

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

Feel free to switch up the casualties on that battle.  I chose max defense, but you might have opted for other troops to have survived.
