G4018L Farmboy Allies vs Karl7 Axis +4

@Karl7:

yeah, you got luck, or rather I rolled pretty bad

It was pretty close. I narrowly had the dice in the first round and you had it in the second. The third round was good for me  though and made the difference. Still not sure if this was the best option. I thought I could retreat and build a counter too but was worried you could put blockers down to block a landing.

I’m around, at least a bit. Can at least get to Anzac right away
