Turn 18. Jul/Aug 1942. Asian Front. Axis #9. China, CCP 73,123.
(1) A tactical mistake by the Soviet player I dare say costs them Mao.
(2) Maybe he was caught up in the win of the last land combat in which he held onto Lanchow.
(3) Or maybe, he just didn't think this land combat through fully.
(4) If fought on the blitz with these "rolls" Mao would have survived and forced to retreat. Japan would not have lost a unit and would have seen 2 of the 4 surviving attackers flipped vs all. All of this irrelevant because ...
(5) The Soviet player elected to fight this combat on the assault table and not the blitz.
