• I’m starting the game on this thread.


  • DiceRolling 1d6:
    (6)


  • OK Chris! Intervene!

    I’m Axis. Carl is Allies.

    I’m attaching the unstarted German first move too.

    New Game Chaos theory 1.tsvg


  • Nice start!  :-D

    I won’t tell you what charts I’m referring to, as I don’t want to spoil the surprises first time out, but needless to say the die roll below will mean something to me.

    Heeere we go:

    DiceRolling 1d6:
    (4)


  • A ‘natural’ event.

    Level I, II, or III?

    DiceRolling 1d3:
    (3)


  • Good… Lord.

    Class C, Class B, or Class A?

    DiceRolling 1d3:
    (2)


  • Okay. Get this.

    You’re in Zombie-World.

    The planet has been infected by a mysterious spore, which does not let organisms die naturally.

    Soldiers thought to have been killed are found wandering the battlefields, hungry for human flesh.

    They are more resilient than normal soldiers, but have been found to be easily destroyed by flame.

    The world leaders, desperate for new troops, have found a way to control these shambling undead.

    Either through necromancy, or through mad science, they have formed entire functional Zombie Corps, operating alongside regular troops.

    How does this affect the game?

    1. During each combat, players need to keep track of the number of the dead land units created by both sides.

    [Only land units are important here, because we’re assuming that soldiers serving in planes burn up when they die, or are trapped in their ships when they sink to the bottom.]

    1. At the end of each of turn, the WINNERS of the BATTLES roll 1d6 for each land unit that died in those territories they fought in and still control.

    [Roll separately for each territory. LOSERS do not have access to the corpses and thus cannot try their hands at reanimation.]

    1. On the result of a ‘6’, each player adds 1 Zombie Corps to the territory under their control.

    [These are represented as the infantry units of your power.]

    These are dark times indeed, gentlemen. This is enough to chill the soul of even the hardest veteran. Good luck in this brave new world!

  • Do we roll before the turn of each country? Or do we roll once? eg. the first time in a round that an axis or ally power goes.

    please clarify.

    thnx


  • Add the end of each turn, each player rolls for the zombies to be added to the board in the territories they were destroyed in (assuming that land units were destroyed in combat that turn).

    Since we’re playing by forum, it makes sense for each player to add their enemy’s zombies to the board as well as their own, in order to minimize downtime.

    For example:

    Playing the USA, I tried to take Iwo Jima from the Japanese but failed.

    In the process, I killed one Japanese infantry, and lost one USA infantry and one USA tank.

    So, at the end of combat, I roll 3d6 for the Japanese player here on the forum:

    DiceRolling 3d6:
    (2, 5, 5)

    For every ‘6’ I roll, I add 1 Japanese infantry to Iwo Jima for my opponent.

    (And if I’d won, I’d have done the same thing for myself…)

    Alle richtig?


  • In this case, no Zombies were produced…  :cry:

    So no edit was required to Iwo Jima at the end of the USA’s turn.


  • You’re in Zombie World until the end of the game.

    Unless someone else rolls a ‘6’ and gets something that invalidates it (could happen)!

    So, to clarify: each player still takes a Chaos Roll at the beginning of each turn. AND at the end of their turns, they roll to see if any Zombie Corps were generated in combat.

    Terminology:

    Turn = G1 (for example)
    Round = A complete cycle of turns, from G2 to F2 (for example)


  • scramble Carl. no zombies will generate here, sea and air units.

    variant scramble.tsvg


  • Just so we have all the tools in this thread I’m adding how to make a roll.

    <:>dice 1d6<:>

    Except take out the < and > signs. You’ll get something like this to appear:

    One die: <:>dice 1d6<:>
    DiceRolling 1d6:
    (3)

    two dice <:>dice 2d6<;>
    DiceRolling 2d6:
    (3, 4)

    three dice <:>dice 3d6<:>
    DiceRolling 3d6:
    (1, 5, 5)

    and so on …


  • no scramble…not quite sure i get this but i’ll ‘roll’ with it!


  • @pr0c3ss:

    no scramble…not quite sure i get this but i’ll ‘roll’ with it!

    Just keep trying to win the game the way you normally would…

    Events will occur throughout, some of which will make that goal easier, and some of which will make that goal harder, to attain.

    Stay frosty, soldier!

    Pro Tip: Zombie calculations are probably going to be easiest to perform when looking at the ‘Turn Summary’. That gives you a nice total of casualties for each battle, assuming you hit the ‘show combat details’ tab.


  • Normandy victory zombies: 2
    DiceRolling 2d6:
    (1, 2)

    France V zombies: 24
    DiceRolling 24d6:
    (1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6)

    S. France V zombies: 2
    DiceRolling 2d6:
    (6, 6)

    Slavic V zombies: 6
    DiceRolling 6d6:
    (1, 3, 4, 4, 6, 6)


  • I kept a tally as I played so that I could do this roll before posting. I will double check after the post to see if I was correct. You can too, Chris.

    Edit mode adjustments:

    France=6 zombies
    S France= 2 zoms
    Slavs= 2 zoms
