D.A. rather than me reposting the entire allied turn, please edit Brit NCM DD sz106 > sz91 instead of to sz104.  It didn’t participate in the sea battle.  If you don’t get to it, I can do it on ANZ turn.  Don’t know why the Brit post included the entire Amer & Chi turns also.

Axis rolled well vs Brit.  I attacked Shan with inf/art against an inf; twice the units and firepower, yet both of my units died, but not the Jpn.  Ger DD hit on 1/3 odds; Ita fleet hit 2, odds 1.5 hits.
