Nightbomber

07-11-2012, 00:32

Interesting issue with FO Harper.
Here is what I think:
1. Unofficial "Always C.H." ability has been always annoying for me, because it may make a pilot to ignore all the risks of air combat. And it leaves behind all the adrenaline of a campaign for a player using it. Frankly, I would excluded it from the game if it was may choice.
2. If this ability is to be observed, I would say as a lawyer:
a) there are no rules without exceptions,
b) Lex posterior generali non derogat legi priori speciali (A later more general law does not eliminate a previous more specific law) - and this is the case! The A.C.H. ability as a house rule was invented after the implementation of the specific individual effect of the explosion card was a valid rule for the game purposes and caused an immediate pilot elimination.

So, according to my taste of the game and the campaign:
Explosion connected with a "dead" die roll should be treated as an exception from A.C.H. ace ability.

Disclaimer: This is my humble opinion only:)

Thanks for PM asking, Sven.

I don't know where the Always Coming Home ability came from or how it is defined - seems a tad unrealistic to me - but I supposed it meant that no matter the damage the 'Ace' nursed his crippled kite to pancake at his home field.....how dramatic.. however, no one said he had to be alive when he got there !!
I think if he's dead then that's it - otherwise he'd be immortal - thinking about it he'll never be captured either ! :hmm:

Wow, you guys added alot before I managed this post - maybe somebody suggested he gets +3 for landing safely at his aerodrome ? Though I think if he's got the boom card the word 'safely' in that statement may be argued !

Nightbomber

07-11-2012, 02:06

If I remember correctly, there were some objection in that ability making the character immortal. The ability does not mean the pilot brings his crate home, only that he always manages to at least crawl out of the wreckage.

As far as I remember Joaquim suggested adding +3 to the result, much like the ace status adds +2. Joaquim used this ability in his own solo "campaign" with his paper models.

What is the point of that ability anyway if it does nothing then? By taking it, the ace gives up an ability that may actually be useful during the mission. An ability that does nothing is not an ability at all.

ACH gives a hell of advantage, Jan. IMHO, despite injuries and a fatal explosion result ("dead" die roll) it turns off any other possible negative events, like capturing. If I remember well (take a look at the set of ACE house rule cards) there is an ability like "Trench Runner" with much the same effect.

Nightbomber

07-11-2012, 03:22

Andrzej, could you explain what exactly does the ability do then? How exactly does it turn off the possible negative events? What exactly is the hell of an advantage if it had no effect on the result of the FO Harper's roll?

According to how the A.C.H. has been used before in the campaign the result should have been like this:
1 (base roll of 1d12) +2 (ace status) +3 (A.C.H.) -3 (explosion) = 3 (skips 1D6 scenarios)

Of course I can:)
I. situation: Let's say we do not use dice rolling system for wounds, just pure game rules plus ACH:
An ace ACH pilot is virtually immortal. He can draw an explosion or maybe hit twice or just shot down - nothing can harm him.
II. situation: we use the dice rolling system for wounds plus ACH:
An non ace ACH pilot may be: killed (hit twice), exploded, shot down BEL or captured.
An ace ACH pilot in the above situations will not be killed even after two hits (doubtfully, I would disagree), will add 2 or 2 + 3 and would have much greater chance of survival. And if he survives he may never be captured.
Is that not enough?

Please note that if ACH ace exploded and he rolled the initial 2, he adds 2 for being an ace, but deducts 3 for the explosion. Than it's still a KIA result. He WOULD add another 2 but ONLY when determining "Escape from enemy territory", but would as well deduct 2 (for the explosion) so only when he landed or crashed BEL or in no man's land. It's a second stage of determining the ace fate.

Watchdog

07-11-2012, 03:44

A.C.H. as Joaquim invented it meant that the pilot always got out of the wreckage. That is why it adds +3. It is still possible for the pilot to die, if he is already wounded when he is wounded and then explodes and rolls 1 on 1D12.

I. situation does not apply, since we do use dice rolling.

In II. situation I agree he probably cannot get captured, but is that not one of the points of the A.C.H.? To always come home, even if seriously wounded? As for drawing 2 pilot wounded damage cards, you should note that the ability kicks in when the airplane is eliminated (explosion, full damage, engine destroyed), however by drawing two pilot wounded cards, the pilot is killed instantly and only then is the airplane eliminated. Thinking about it I would say the A.C.H. ability does not address being killed instantly. Nothing else than two pilot wounded damage cards can cause this anyway.

As for this:

Please note that if ACH ace exploded and he rolled the initial 2, he adds 2 for being an ace, but deducts 3 for the explosion. Than it's still a KIA result. He WOULD add another 2 but ONLY when determining "Escape from enemy territory", but would as well deduct 2 (for the explosion) so only when he landed or crashed BEL or in no man's land. It's a second stage of determining the ace fate.

As seen on FO Harper's example, he rolled initial 1, added 2 for being ace, deducted 3 for explosion. And A.C.H. ace should get +3, making him wounded instead. If he had been already wounded from drawing a pilot wounded damage card before drawing the dreaded explosion card, he would have had to deduct further 1, meaning KIA despite the ace ability.

What is not fair about an ability that does nothing during the actual combat, unlike other ace abilities, and only kicks in when you lose and are shot down, while still allowing the possibility of death from an unlucky roll after an explosion is drawn for an already wounded pilot?

Anyway, why don't we let Joaquim decide? ;)

Nightbomber

07-11-2012, 04:10

:) We are getting screwed with this ACH ability. According to your statment Jan, the only way such a pilot may be killed is to draw explosion card while being wounded :erk:
Well, the Quim the designer should definitely take the floor.

tikkifriend

07-11-2012, 05:51

Quite right Andrzej - and I agree always coming home is a huge advantage - I think all anybody is saying is that it doesn't bring you back from the dead if that's what the dice determine :erk:

If there is a +3 always coming home 'bonus' then Harper would now be severely wounded rather than dead & have to roll on the escape table to see how he fared (which would seem redundant in light of "always coming home" skill ??) but I'd say that +3 is a huge bonus with an ace already getting +2.

My thoughts exactly . Immortality is not an option, the risk of loosing a good PC pilot should be an important factor in how you play the character. In my opinion an explosion in mid air is just that Goodnight Vienna for the pilot involved.

Perhaps we should ( if we don't officialy already) have a campaign rule of a playing with xp cards b the number of each in your A & B decks.

Comments please gents
Paul

Watchdog

07-11-2012, 06:05

Paul, if that ace ability has been in the campaign since the very start, do you really consider it fair to make it not working in the way it was supposed to, in the middle of the campaign, at the very point when it should be the safety catch of a player's pilot?

And, for some players the risk of losing a good character may actually be a hindrance, especially if they cannot influence the characters' behaviour in games played by other players. For instance, for me the possibility of easily losing a character would not be anything entertaining, rather the opposite. That is why I welcomed the chance to get that skill for some of my characters.

As for explosions, some players like them, some don't. For me they would only have the potential to make the games too short.

On the other hand, I withdrew from the campaign, therefore how ever you decide won't have any influence on me. It is your choice now, chaps. :)

07-11-2012, 06:43

Paul, I play with standard double A decks - single B deck - if I didn't use the "Bang" card Stan might still be here but I think that not using them is lame - if I'm not putting the pilots at risk then what's the point ? As for other campaigners nailing my pilots - I thought that's what the NPC were for !!
:)

Marechallannes

07-11-2012, 06:47

I'm not shure how to handle this. I can follow Jan's argument and - important - we have an example in on of our former mission and that's an ace ability from the beginning.

If I lost Harper - it's ok, too.

But remember, we have more Aces with the "Always Return Home" ability.

I'll PM to Joaquim.

Only if we plan to play a kind of tournament (like Prague SummerCon this month) I opt for excluding the xp cards only to get all players in the game as long as possible. That is also Andrea's suggestion included in the original rulebook.

As far as I am concerned i'm quite happy to forgo the Always returns home for my characters,:thumbsup: as long as I can pick up another Ace ability for them.:hmm: The only way we can really honour the ability is by ensuring that the coffins are delivered back to the home country via the Red Cross.:thankyou:

Rob - read this comment today again und understand it now...

:lol:

Poor old Harper!:dazed:

Andrzej - we have another exploded ace: Hptm. Lothar Zachmeier (Ace, ability: Always Coming Home) - exploded over friendly territory - not wounded.:D

I would be happy if you determine the fate of the Reservestaffel Hauptmann.

Nightbomber

07-12-2012, 00:29

No problem, here we go with dice:
Ace Hptm. Lothar Zachmeier (Ace, ability: Always Coming Home) - exploded over friendly territory - not wounded.

Rolled 9 (minus 3/exploded, plus 2/ace) => 8. Bruised, skip 1 scenario.

Flying Officer Kyte

07-12-2012, 01:03

I play with double A and B decks with all the explosion cards included. That is the thrill :serious:

Only if we plan to play a kind of tournament (like Prague SummerCon this month) I opt for excluding the xp cards only to get all players in the game as long as possible. That is also Andrea's suggestion included in the original rulebook.

I agree Andrzej. I have three a decks and two B's in my box, so in theory just about everyone can blow up during a game.:crash:

FO Harper - exploded over enemy territory

1d12 → [1] = (1) + 2 Ace - 3 explosion = 0 - Dead!

http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3602360/

Normaly he's dead now, but:

Always Coming Home (When crashes, the pilot will always return home to the Aerodrome.)

I don't know how to handle this exactly.:confused:

Ok, Joaquim seems still busy.

I heared many arguments. One point: I won't keep one of my pilots at any cost. Other point: Can't kill him without dooming other pilots with this ace ability.

So I change the death dice roll to the most worse injury result:

3-4 - Severely Injured - Skip 1D6 Scenarios

1d6 → [2] = (2)

http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3608457/

Escape:

1d12 → [3] = (3) + 2 ace - 2 explosion = 3 - Captured and escaped! - Skip 1D3 Scenarios

http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3608458/

skip:

1d3 → [1] = (1)

http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3608460/

So Harper is out of action for the next 3 sceanrios.

I hope you could accept my decision. :please:

:thankyou:

Nightbomber

07-15-2012, 03:34

No problem for me at all, Sven.
That was indeed a difficult issue and I fully understand your decision and the change you made.
However it doesn't change my mind as far as ACH ability is concerned: I will never choose it for any of my PCs and NPCs. But that's a personal choice of every campaign participant:)

Nightbomber

08-12-2012, 03:01

Yes we have the latest reports from our outposts near the frontline.

Both of our aces returned to their unit.
Eberstark was lucky enough to safely bring his crate down and landed quite well (11). Then he rushed through the trenches (12) and was carried back to the drome.
Fit for the next scenario.

Jach was far less lucky. Being wounded he lost control over his perforated kite and crashed. He was injured during the crash (4 - 1 + 2 = 5), but somehow managed to leave the smoking wreck and crossed the line (10 - 1 = 9).
He will skip 2 scenarios

It's just that the escaping enemy territory section has a modifier for landing in NML so I took it that landing in NML counted as 'enemy territory' for game purposes - all those MGs, whizz bangs and such might do some further damage !

Marechallannes

03-07-2013, 09:48

Indeed. I spottet this modifier, too.

...but don't use it in the past. :confused:

Every player has to assign if he treats the region where the pilot crash-landed is enemy territory or not.

I always treated the no-man's-land as neutral = no enemy territory

Actually you should make it more difficult, as you are discussing an area that is basically a freefire zone from both sides. Stand up and walk across that "neutral zone" and it would be difficult to determine from which side you take more holes in you. (not to mention mines, UXB, and evil debri.) This would probably mean that you need additional modifier than merely being behind the enemy lines.

Lt. S.Kafloc

03-07-2013, 11:31

Of course but you could always try and angle the plane to come down closer to your side(?)

Then probably get shot by your own side as they are crap at aircraft recognition!

Definitely there is a +1 modifier I have been using. So There are only two "territories" for crashing purposes: Friendly and Enemy. NML is treated as the Enemy territory, but it's easier to escape from there.

What happens to a pilot hit twice?

If we are using the Official WoG rules it has to be KIA, but have we had this occur before in the campaign, and if so, what president did it set?

Rules for crashing:

Resolution of Crashes/Wounds etc

This is how we resolve what happens when a pilot is shot down, crashes, is wounded:

Roll 2D6

Crashing and wounded Effects Table:
2 or less - Dead!
3-4 - Severely Injured - Skip 1D6Scenarios
5-6 - Injured - Skip 1D3 Scenarios
7-8 - Bruised - Skip 1 Scenario
9+ - All well when you land well!

Modifiers:
Ace: - +2 to the dice roll
Exploded: -3 to the dice roll
Wounded: -1 to the dice roll per wound
Landed safely in Aerodrome: - +3 to the dice roll

Escaping Enemy Territory Table:
2 or less - Captured! The war ended for this pilot...
3-4 - Captured and escaped! - Skip 1D3Scenarios
5-6 - In hiding! - Skip 1D2 Scenarios
7-8 - Landed almost home! - Skip 1Scenario
9+ - They didn't even see me!

Modifiers:
Ace: +2 to the dice roll
Exploded: -2 to the dice roll
Wounded: -1 to the dice roll
No Man's Land: +1 to the dice roll
Healthy: +1 to the dice roll

It means -1 per wound while crashing, so I will deduct 2 from the roll.

Flying Officer Kyte

05-27-2013, 14:35

That seems quite clear then.
We have been rolling, therefore, we roll against this list and ignore the WoG rule as we have done before.

Flying Officer Kyte

05-28-2013, 09:24

Happy to go along with this provided that the second wound still incapacitates the pilot and he is shotdown/crashes ! ;)

Rob, I notice, has been pulling critical hit cards for shot down crews rather than just boom card downed crews when he may be better off rolling for them.
I personally don't believe we should use the critical hit deck as the crash rules provide for boom card struck pilots. On the cards if it's red you're dead, if it's green you walk away, there's no wounds/scenarios missed. Maybe a compromise would be to roll if you survive the critical hit deck ?!

I have actually only been using the boom cards to add flavour to my scenarios. Whatever the result of them, the pilot has gone to the magic castle for verification as far as I knew. Has this changed since we started playing the late war period?
Rob.

flash

05-29-2013, 07:41

Maybe I'm mistaken then Rob, though Evans/ Dodgson did not pull a boom card in mission 2b (but it was a 10 on a C deck that knocked them down!), you used a critical hit card that killed them - I didn't see any roll for them mentioned ? You also used the critical hit cards on the shoot down results of the Hanover & an Albatros that had no boom cards in mission 3 so that's the pattern I'm seeing. As I said, I'd rather just roll than use the cards.

I must be wrong then Dave.
I thought that one of you chaps did the rolls when you got the results from me.
I never bother about the Germans because I never use the ones from the pool so they are expendable.
In future I will leave it to one of you to decide the outcome, just as I believed was being done heretofore.
I do not believe in doing my own results.
Rob.

That's my point - you pulled a critical hit card that killed your chaps, and you showed them KIA in your AAR, when their survival probably should have been rolled for in that particular case as it was not a boom card shoot down. No-one will roll for them if you show them KIA !
We don't want you to lose Bulldog characters unnecessarily - You can do as you please with your Huns though ! ;)

Flying Officer Kyte

05-29-2013, 09:41

Sorry Dave.
Now I feel as if I am really messing everyone about.
I will leave them as they are, but in future if Nightbomber is willing to roll for me I will just go with that.
Rob.

flash

05-30-2013, 02:34

No need for apologies Rob, I just don't want to see you, or anyone else for that matter, lose characters when you shouldn't. On the boom card it's black & white, well red & green really, live or die; in all other cases it's the dice and, as we know, that is weighted heavily toward character survival. Paul may disagree with that summary though !! ;)

Noted on the spreadsheet - thanks Sven !
Having checked I think it was Winter that was WIA not Muller ? I have updated the spreadsheet but let me know if I got that wrong.
Munk has achieved his Iron Cross 2nd class in some style; Muller, Wegfeld, Winter & Grotsch have also achieved this accolade following this brave action.
Capt Christopher Sinclair has been moved onto your enemies roster ! ;)

That is remarkable news. All four survive.

Thank you, Dave. :salute:

It was indeed Lt. Stephan Winter that was wounded, not OLt. Müller.

Good eyes. ;)

I'll correct that in my posts (and keep the result).

Nightbomber

And here we have it.
I have posted the same bill in my 4th mission thread...
------------------------------------
The Butcher's bill...

The Germans:
1. Lt. Heinz Olejnik: Hit by a thunder. Exploded. KIA [rolled 5!] No kills scored.
http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4133312/

2. Lt. Arnold Kula: Exploded. KIA [rolled 2!] 1 kill scored.
http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4133322/

3. Rtm. Kroll: Returned to base. No wounds. 1 kill scored.

The French:
4. Serg. Cardon: RTB. No wounds, No kills.
5. Cap. Delorme: Shot down. Wounded. 1 kill scored. Bruised, skip 1 scenario. Escaping NML: They didn't even see him!
6. S.Lt. Guiget: Shot down. No wounds. No kills. Injured, skip 4 scenarios. Escaping NML: They didn't even see him!

That was a said day for the Kaiser's. Two brave men did not return from the mission. The body of Heinz Olejnik has never been found. Arnold Kula's corps was found by advancing French forces and buried with war honors. Although the German pilots held the sky, they were defeated rather by supernatural forces, than their gallant enemies. It seems the Gods of the Skies have turned against them this time. But what if they have turned against them for good...

I decided to roll 2d6 v damage. Must roll higher than damage to stay in action +1 for each wound. I rolled some high numbers and some that just bugged out but replacements kept coming on. A very hard show. But fun all the way.

I think Nigel would call it "nothing".
