Definitely a risky battle, but it had decent odds for where I felt I was in the game.  I really needed 7 hits in rd 1 though.  I was hoping for 7 to 7, but I might have been okay with 7 to 8.  But 5 to 8 was a killer.

No need to continue.

I really messed up when I let Ind fall after the IC build.  Such a stupid oversight.  I had nothing to really gain by defending it so light.  Should have just brought over the Armor that was in Trj.

Good game.

I'll post the result.

The 4 ftrs from Sz 47 would land on the 2 AC brought into battle

The 3 ftrs from Sz 57 would land on the 2 AC from Sz 47 (they would have moved to Sz 51).

The 2 ftrs from Sz 56 would land on the AC from Sz 56 (it would have move Sz 59)

holds with 4 ftrs

I don't think Rus will hold out much longer, so I'm taking a gamble.  Going for Japan.  Might need OOL.
