Varn H (allies) vs Alsch91 (axis): Spring 1942

It won’t make you feel any better, but I lost at Egypt on G1 in my other (current) game playing the Axis. Killed the Africa campaign outright when UK came back through the Suez on UK1 and sunk the BB and Trans in SZ 15. The dice are hard to believe sometimes.
