A question about wounds

[Treadhead]

Hi, Andy.

You're getting it...

Unwounded Hero: Fails MC, gets wounded. Roll severity (No DRM)
Unwounded Hero: Fails MC w/DR=12, gets wounded. Roll severity (DRM +1)

This is correct. (Though, technically its "drm", not "DRM".)

Wounded Hero: Fails MC, dies
Wounded Hero: CR as result of K/#, wounded again, roll severity (DRM +1 for being wounded)

This is correct.

Aha!: Wounded Hero: CR as result of K/# with DR=12, same as last case becuase this is CR not MC (+1 severity DRM for wound, none for DR=12).

I'm not sure what you mean here, since there is not a DR required with a Casualty Reduction.

For a K/# result, if the Wounded Hero is selected (via RS), then it is Casualty Reduced (i.e. Wounded) and takes a Wound Severity dr, with a +1 for already being Wounded. If the Wounded Hero is not selected, then it must take the #MC called for; if taking the MC, then a DR=12 would result in a failed MC and a dead Hero.

Just to be sure.: #KIA kills the hero no matter what if hero is randomly selected.

This is correct.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Bruce Bakken

Thanks Bruce.

Thanks Bruce,

You're right. No DR for a K/# result other than random selection for the CRed unit(s).

The groggies I played with had argued that:
"Because the unwounded hero's MC DR was 12, he both failed an MC *AND* therefore CRed (DR=12) and is therefore dead".

-So I now know that this is wrong and should be played as wounded with a severity drm of +1.

Many Thanks to you and Sam.

BTW: We played it that his hero died, but I still lost J88. I generated 3 heroes (2 died), he generated 1 (and it died) and I malfed and repaired my 37LL. Quite a game. 22 CVP exited (28 required), he fausted my tank for the win.

J88 Newbie Hint: Enter and move to THE RIGHT, behind the house. Esp. with the 2nd entry group. I had 4 squads KIAed on that road.

Indeed, this is the way I have played in the past. I have to try to remember this next time I'm faced with three heros.
