hang on - want to change that noncom

i also realized there was a combat move i had intended to make - i’m rushing things here to get this one done today.  i’d be willing to reroll all dice if you wanted.

adam - i also realized i missed a combat move i had intended to make.  i would be willing to reroll all dice if you prefer.

if you want, you can just go with my posted map - if you will allow, what i wanted to do but forgot about was to attack the russian tank in sikang.

ok here’s the attack

Rolls: 5@4; Total Hits: 35@4: (6, 4, 2, 6, 4)
Rolls: 1@3; Total Hits: 11@3: (1)

ping!

ok here’s the map.  something just tells me that that tank was going to come back to haunt me somewhere.  probably not and now i’ll probably lose because i have one less german bomber but oh well.

just cant catch a break from dice - lost the expected in kiang and lost the bomber in sikang.  grrrr

difficult to work this out.  sheesh.
