Test summary from TripleA, engine version: 1.9, time: 10:03:12 PM

I’m making a change in combat moves.  I don’t think dice will roll, but if they do, ignore them.

Ignore prior post, I was able to abort the game and will restart.

With G40, Jpn tanks can blitz into kill zones surrounding a China inf stack and then back to safety.  But I can’t do that with BM.  That’s a real drawback for me in this game.
