Title: Assigning casualties to multiple occupants of bunkers
Post by: holdfast on 11 February 2021, 02:59:44 PM
In my Juno Beach game some bunkers have a garrison of two units, typically an infantry squad and a machine gun. When the bunkers are hit by fire and hits are inflicted and are not saved, how are the hits shared out? if say 4 unsaved hits are taken, does the infantry take 2 hits and the MG takes 2 hits? Or does each of the occupants take 4 hits each? Or can the player owner decide whether to assign hits between the two sets of occupants? Or just do it randomly?
Or have I missed something?

Typically you would allocate the casualties against each occupant equally - e.g. 2 units and 4 hits - the hits are allocated 2 to each unit etc.
Any spare/odd hits you then dice for - allocating a set of numbers to each occupant (e.g. unit one 1-3 unit two 4-6) and roll a d:6 to see where the hit lands.
Hope that makes sense.

It is inappropriate for the attacker to allocate hits as they are just targeting the bunker. Equally it is inappropriate for the defender to allocate hits as they might favor one or other of the units to take more or less hits.

Super thank you, that was more or less my thinking but it is excellent to have such a clear answer and nice and quickly as well.
