TheWell-KnownSoldier vs Axisandalliesplayer(allies+12)

I went with the interpretation that combat requires dice.  :-D
If I was wrong feel free to re-edit the Italian forces into Italian Somaliland. So what are the general and/or your prefered guidelines when it comes to edit’s in the league?

As I read the PU count I realised I had forgot my walk-in into Alex. Since this move become less beneficial if I had lost in Algeria and while the odds was heavily in my favour I could still have lost. Can certainly testify to have lost way more sure-fire battles in A&A. In the end I’m happy either way but I suppose the best way to find out where the line is drawn is to bump up against it…  :roll:

Perhaps I should have written one way instead of best way.
