Gamerman's G40 Laegue House Rules Playtest Shin Ji (Axis) vs Nozdormu (Allies)

[Shin-Ji]

All 5 chits?  And do you want me to roll them in TripleA?

[Guest]

On second thought I am not using an chits at all. I will rely on AA.

[Shin-Ji]

OK, so no chits, no intercept.  Got it.

[Shin-Ji]

Never mind the dice - I was closing the window but they rolled anyway.

[Guest]

If you don’t know whether a tactical bomber or a bomber needs to die, roll a die on the forum. Even/uneven 2 bombers die and otherwise it is the other situation.

[Shin-Ji]

Oh. It just let me pick.  Aren’t all AA shots resolved at the same time anyway?

If it’s an issue, I can redo - but we’d have to redo the AA too, wouldn’t we?

@Shin:

Oh. It just let me pick.� Aren’t all AA shots resolved at the same time anyway?

If it’s an issue, I can redo - but we’d have to redo the AA too, wouldn’t we?

Not at all. AA is supposed to be rolled for each installation separately. Which is why we have to roll AA using forum dice if we attack multiple installations. However since you already rolled the dice in triple A, they count. As of right now there are two solutions. The easiest would be to use forum dice and roll a single die. 1,3,5 would mean a tactical bomber and a bomber would die and 2,4 and 6 would mean 2 bombers would die or the other way around. It is a simple and effective solution. So two planes are going to die still.

[Shin-Ji]

Oh, OK.  This has never come up for me before, actually.

What is the roll command here?

[Guest]

Rolls: 1@6 ; Total Hits: 11@6: (5)

However the ‘:’ after the 6 should be right behind it. Then you get the following:

Rolls: 1@6; Total Hits: 11@6: (2)

[Guest]

@Nozdormu:

Rolls: 1@6 ; Total Hits: 11@6: (5)

However the ‘:’ after the 6 should be right behind it. Then you get the following:

Rolls: 1@6; Total Hits: 11@6: (2)

let me try again:
;aaa 1@6;

and replace ; with :

[Shin-Ji]

OK!  Like you said, odds mean a Tac bomber dies and nothing changes.  Even means that the Tac lives (and the Airfield takes one more hit), but one more bomber dies.  I suppose we could roll to see which bomber gets hit later if we need to.

Rolls: 1@6; Total Hits: 11@6: (6)

[Shin-Ji]

Excellent!  Then we can just play on.  The turn I posted stands.

[Shin-Ji]

Or not.  I swear that was odd a second ago.  Hrm.

OK, rolling a 1d4.  1 means the Bomber attacking the airfield foes down, and the airfield is undamaged.  2-4 means we ignore the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd hits on the factory.

Rolls: 1@4; Total Hits: 11@4: (3)

[Shin-Ji]

OK.  The Factory takes one less hit, but it’s still at max damage.  I’ll do a quick edit and get the thing up again.
