Techroll42 (Axis) vs. Questioneer (Allies) Global 1940 Alpha+3.9 Thread


  • Good Luck; Have Fun!


  • Me and TMTM (via email, I hope I’m crediting the right guy) have beaten ABattlemap into submission with my computer/clunker.

    Therefore I make the following purchase (ah, what the heck):

    2 tech rolls (remember the name, kids!) cost 10 IPC’s will make 20 IPC’s of builds after I see the changes

    :roll 2d6:

    If I succeed, from chart 1

    :roll 1d6:


  • Herp derp let me try again btw changes=results

    :2d6:

    Chart 1:

  • Sure. Restarting the game.

    Preparing to roll combat round 1.

    Note: I don’t really care about the nationality when I’m rolling, but I’d say it matters when choosing hits.

    Germany (Note: 1@2 is submarine; can only hit naval units. Also fires surprise fire. I’m assuming if I hit you will take damage on BB but if you choose not to, eliminate the 1st roll for the number that you took the hit on (i.e. if you take the hit on a cruiser then eliminate the 1st 3 listed and adjust the hits accordingly)
    :dice 1@2 3@3 4@4:

    UK/France (Note: I am trying to roll 2 separate n@4’s, 1 for the BB (which can hit sub) and 1 for the fgts (which cannot hit sub). If this fails, assume the first roll is the roll for the BB.

    UK (No need to differentiate air from naval as DD present)
    :dice 1@2 1@3 2@4:

    End Round 1 battles. I will apply my casualties after you apply yours (except in Yugoslavia’s case where as long as I choose not to retreat you need not apply casualty decisions).

    Disclaimer: I have not checked any of this. If anything sounds wrong (besides my surely awesome rolling), let me know.

    PS: Can you roll attacker and defender together? If so how?


  • Wow…I had great rolls, especially in France. And I thought the one time I took France with 2 inf. losses was a fluke…


  • Yugoslavia’s battle is finished. All defenders and 2 German infantry destroyed.
    Germany gains 2 IPC’s of production.
    Sub Z91 taken as casualty.
    Sub 106 taken as casualty.

    Rolling round 2

    :aaa
    Attacker 1@2
    Defender 1@2:

    That’s all I can do. I eagerly await casualty choices for 110, 111, W. France and France.


  • So you can’t roll attacker and defender together  :? :? :?

    Attacker 1 sub
    DiceRolls: 1@2; Total Hits: 01@2: (4)

    Defender 1 DD
    DiceRolls: 1@2; Total Hits: 11@2: (2)


  • Well, the U-Boats aren’t looking too good now.


  • I am still awaiting defensive casualty orders.


  • Earth to Questioneer, do you read me?


  • Yes I’m here- can tell you’re a first timer.  Your script is a little messy.  For starters, in most battles you are going to roll for both att and def and all rounds til the battle is done.  For picking casualties, just choose what would be normal.  In some rare cases, there will be situations that will call for the defender to choose- usually in a battle involving naval units.

    For our game, of course I would take the hit on the BB- that’s normal and in a Battle with Britain in z110 and z111- all sea units would be chosen first as casualties.  Of course, this is not always the case in every sea battle but in this one, it would be.

    so yes, 1BB hits and the rest sea units first then air units last.  Make sense???

    Maybe I should have played Germany so that you can see how this works.  You’re making it more complicated than it has to be for yourself.


  • It’s fine. I’ll try and learn as we go along. If it means it’s harder for me, oh well.
