G40 2nd Ed. 2xAxe v tinydictator (+9 Allies)

No worries, I think we should play with the possibility of re-rolling one freak round per game - I guess this was yours ;-)

I was lucky on Sechwan last round, but you also rolled snake ryes in Keichow… You hit with 2 out of 8 China, about average. Happy to see that Uk inf melt away :-)

I’m away from the laptop, I’ll post in a bit.
