13L G40 Infrastructure vs Stalingradski (+10 Allies) + tech

@Stalingradski:

I can’t believe Spain… again. I had an AVERAGE chance to own it with the US with 5 units… + 4 from UK… + the French fighter. These are my last gasps, and they’re failing due to dice.

Whatever early badness you got, I caught it awhile ago and it hasn’t stopped yet.
