Summary

 

Another fun game, plenty of carnage…

 

I could not believe that I bounce twice on on the same engagement on the Left flank..In the end I ended up sending at least 4 formation to take care of two..This in turn left my right lightly defended and I was happy the third air assault manage to destroy one and break two others, without lost to myself..After all that it was still a close game and if it had gone to turn 4..The result may have been different…
