2021-05-27(A) Shane Pask vs Japanese winMy MMG landed offboard and could not be recovered and one stick landed at the far end of board 38 with half offboard. FB arrive turn 4 and one heads straight home again with jammed guns. On turn 6, a MTR scores a CH to kill the Dutch 9-1 and his MMG squad. It looks good for the Japs then Dutch resolve hardens with a bunch of miraculous CC wins. On the last turn my last MTR tries WP on the last melee. It has some, it hits, my squad passes his MC and the Dutch squad fails. Victory!
