I hear you, but there was an expected win in each one of those battles with the possible exception of java.  (and at the very beginning a lot of your defending 2 shots did hit, see shensi, burma, borneo) - not sure that things really went that unexpectedly brought overkill to every battle, 1 inf 1 tank should win 50% of the time, and mutually kill 10% - since if winning a 50% battle is a break, yeah I got one there.

nothing totally goofy there.  no battles won where I had 10% odds or battles lost where I had 95+%.

Starting to feel the squeeze – still glad we’re trying this experiment however.

I’m moving the French fighter to London, but you can change him to Algeria if you like, either way Germany won’t be attacking him other than to take back now empty Normandy.
