And it continues. Both destroyers hit!
Combine it with the desastrous results in your turn in Sudan and 96, Italy is off so much worse than it should be.

And then there’s China. First round you killed 5(!) Infantry instead of 2 and then you shot down a plane because you scored better than average in the second round.

This game has not been nice to me.
