You can disallow the edit of the marine from Gibraltar to Morocco, but the only combat dice in Europe with UK was way over in Iraq…  I just didn’t bother to calc everything out through the UK turn when doing USA noncom…

Boy has the UK been pathetic, but that could all change….

These dice are stacking up on me… Yunnan and Shan State lack of defense on J2 and now a rather poor showing on the counterattack, complete with a 11% double hit to take down a fighter… after taking 2/3 hits from destroyers on US2… tough sledding, man.  Don’t let up, though, you know!

Thanks, but both battles were risky and Shan went decent, it’s just the combination with no defense on J2 that made it tough  :-)
Alright, let’s see what Australia can do!

@Gamerman01:

Don’t let up, though, you know!

To be clear, I meant this as an encouragement to not feel sorry for me - to keep playing your best!  :-)
