L16 G40 PGMatt (axis) vs Adam514 (allies +24)

@Adam514:

Geez 4 1s in Yunnan.

Fortunately for me, I can just accept that as part of the game.  Of course it hurts when it’s a fairly key R1 battle, but I did well with Germany so I can’t complain.  Thanks for noticing though, I don’t even look at the dice emails!

I don’t normally DOW J1 and wanted to try it out again.  Battles like this just remind me why too many close fights always bite you in the arse.

I wont scramble in 97.
