Hm but again I get lucky with my other non-SBR battles, so it’s pretty average overall……

NCM -
Fra - AA (Wfr) 6 INF, ARM, 2 AA (Hol) FTR (Nit) FTR, TAC (Wgr)
Z96 - 4 FTR (Mal)
Wfr - 2 AA (Z110) 4 INF, 2 MECH (UK)
Z110 - INF (UK) on US TP; I checked the rules again because this felt weird.  I don’t see anything that says you can’t load a transport and unload it at the same time…  You just can’t load to an ally’s transport and unload in the same round…
Ind - All (Bur)
Rus - 2 FTR (Kaz)
Sam - FTR (Kaz)
TrJ - INF, ART (Egy) BMB (Wgr)
Cau - INF (Npr)

I don’t know why they have a “used” box for the USA NO for France.  It’s not a 1-time NO…  I guess they just didn’t understand when they made the revision

Wow, you finally attack with the Italian tank and the first time you do, you lose it.
What a relief - that thing caused havoc since I3
Although attacking Caucasus… if it survived I would be hitting it with ANZ infantry and fighter…

As far as luck…. let’s not go there.  For the record I think the dice have been pretty average over all.  Everybody tends to remember when they were disappointed by the dice, though, and forget when everything went great.

Gotta go do something and then eat lunch, but I’ll get ANZ and France out of the way before I leave at 3:00 central…
