Arathorn (Axis) vs SethTheNewb (Allies +10)

@seththenewb:

Not a big deal, but the right order for combat is

1. SBR
2. Sea battles for amphibious assaults + amphibious assault
3. All other combat

It usually doesn’t make a difference and the last was one of those rounds, but sometimes it does. Gamer pointed it out to me in our game awhile back, so I am used to doing combat in whatever way I see fit and still mess up the order sometimes.

I know the order, and I usually do it that way, but I intentionally saved the SBR for last, since I was going to roll it on the forum.
