2024 Playoff OOB Round 1 Pacifiers Board (+42) v Gamerman01

Got it,
Well, we’re there, because you’ve played so well and it’s how things played out so far
I will have to gain better position before I can avoid dice much.
I think I NEEDED the West India luck, but of course now that can be erased, especially with what the AA might do

The British dig in and fight much harder for India than West India

I assumed AA first, then took a mix of artillery and mech, so you should examine the casualties and swap out what you want. I just hit default once, and artillery another. There are a lot more units left than I wanted, but dice give, dice take away.

I just checked to make sure it wasn’t my turn!
I’m here, if I don’t get interrupted, one minute my friend

2 Italians, 2 Ger infantry

Yes, keep AA again
