You sit, stunned, next to the radio for a few moments before deciding to get dressed. Something tells you that you won't be going back to sleep. You look out the window, and see a large column of smoke coming from the next town over. Then your eyes drift downwards and you see Norwegian soldiers digging foxholes, preparing for something to come along on that road. Whatever it is, it isn't going to be very friendly, that's for sure.

Grab any handy food and heavy clothing on our way stealthily out of town. Recall whether there are friends or family who have a cabin waay out in the boonies that we can visit. Stay away from anything the germans would be interested in: military installations, communication or transportation buildings, storehouses.

Try to head to the nearest, most powerful radio station you know of and try to contact the British.

In real life, the British dedicated several Corps of troops as well as the entire Polish Free Army to the defense of Norway.

Things may have gone well had the U-boats and events in the Far East and North Africa campaigns not interfered.

You make your way towards home. You barely manage to avoid getting caught, and get inside. In the living room, you find a dead Norwegian soldier, with a loaded pistol in his hands. You take the weapon before uttering, "Hvil I fred, som du bodde I krig." You look around the house and see that it has been looted, although poorly. You manage to find about a days worth of food, and a hunting coat with snowshoes, before leaving your house. You manage to make it roughly 20 meters before turning a corner and coming face to face with a jackboot. He yells "Halt!" before scrabbling for his pistol. Whatever you do, any nearby enemies probably just heard that and are coming your way.

Well the first thing I would like to ask what kind of pistol because this does affect our capabilities secondly this is a recently occupied town we can assume that gun shots our quite frequent and can be heard just about everywhere. I vote shoot and loot prioritize his weapons and ammo second his helmet third his boots combat boots are typically more durable then hunting boots.

The German has a Luger. If you were talking about your own gun, you don't actually know what type of pistol it is yet. All I can say is, you've never seen a pistol like it before. You guess it must be from some other country.

Let's just stop asking for info on our gun and shoot at the avatars. If he's close to you (personally wise) fire and aim for the chest. If he's far away then his pistol shots are going to be wide/hard to land. So maybe run if he's far as hard as possible.

Btw item list please?

You both grab for your pistols. He draws first, putting a bullet exactly one foot to your right. You fire back, drilling him in the eye socket. You have no way of knowing it, but the bullet ricocheted around in the skull. He goes down, hard, and you run. Luckily for you, no one seemed to notice. You make it out of town, and head for the woods. Suddenly, a Norwegian soldier stands up out of the snow! "Halt! Identify yourself!"

The earlier we get the Brits and Poles here in Norway, the earlier we can stop the German Blitzkrieg.

And i would rather we have the aid fo the Royal Navy when fighting against the German landing areas. The Norwegian navy was....lasklustre to say the least.

Also, the earlier we contact the Brits, the earlier we get good supplies, weapons and SOE agent support.

Yeah the Germans might shoot at anyone not in a German uniform, but at least it would keep us safe from the Norwegians. Then again, it would make us a guaranteed German target. It's possible this will turn into an occupation and the Germans will want native workers.

"Ja, vi elsker dette landet," you reply, as you put your hands up. The soldier cracks a smile, albeit serious, before replying "som det stiger frem." You then show him your ID card from the mine (they don't let just anyone have access to that much dynamite without verifying who you are, after all.) "Well, looks like you. Guess I'll bring you to camp, they're evacuating every civilian they can find." Later, as you walk, you tell him about the soldier you found in your living room, holding the pistol. The soldier's face darkens, before he asks to look at the pistol. After looking at it, he says, softly, "I knew him. He was a good man, and this pistol was his pride and joy. M1911, not the kind we build here, but an actual American one, shipped all the way across the Atlantic. You can keep it, if you want." (Encyclopedia Entry Added Once I Get Around To It! Jurgen's M1911!) When you reach the camp, you are put in a refugee camp. Everything was chaotic, everyone refusing to believe that this was real. When a Norwegian soldier came to get you, you were about to rip your hair out. He took you to the general's tent, which surprised you. Then, out of the blue, the general started talking, to you. Not to one of his officers or aides, but to you. He explained, "We need a guide. We need to know how to get in, where the German's are, and where we need to go. If you're willing to help, grab a uniform and give us a plan. If you don't want to help, go back out there to the nutcases." He says, pointing past his officers. "No, no. Not those nutcases, the CIVILIAN nutcases."

You accept the uniform, and put it on. It is a grey-green uniform, with service tunic. Unfortunately, you do not get a helmet, because of supply shortages. Then, you head back to the tent, and start laying out the plan. "We're to the north, correct? Good, now, most of our force will go in from the north, clearing out any Nazi's we see. Meanwhile, a squad of men will head to the mine, and grab the explosives I've hidden there. Then, it will be there job to sneak in and plant dynamite on German vehicles, positions, etc. Then, after we hear the dynamite explode, we head in, going room-to-room, and clear the whole town." You go and shoot a bit at the range, before a soldier comes and finds you. "Do you have any requests to make before we go?"

You and the roughly 100 Norwegian men still left after the initial assault are camped in the woods. About 60 Germans are guarding the outskirts of town, currently unaware of your position (100 NR vs 60 GR) All the Norwegian's are listening carefully to their officers as they explain the plan, while the Germans are lazing off at their posts. (-2 to German rolls in first exchange) Then, you give the signal by firing your M1911 at the nearest German soldiers, burying a bullet in both of their chests (100 NR vs 58 GR) Your comrades open fire, (18+1+1 vs 16+1-2-1) downing six Germans (100 NR vs 52 GR) The German's retaliate, (18+1 vs 4+2+1) but do not hit anything, except, in a case of bad luck, one of their own who decided to charge with a bayonet. (100 NR vs 51 GR) You aim your pistol (16 vs 17+1), but the remaining Germans have taken cover by now, so you decide not to waste ammo. (18+2 vs 9+1) Your comrades rake the enemy positions with fire, killing 12, (18+1 vs 12+2+1) while the Germans continue to fail to hit anything. (100 NR vs 39 GR) (20! vs 15+1) You, in a feat of skill, chain 4 shots, before getting back into cover to reload. Meanwhile, (17+2 vs 2+1) your comrades continue the mop up, killing 16. (14) The remaining Germans were about to retaliate, when suddenly, you see a Panzer rolling down Main Street. You swear you can see the German's smirking down there. You take cover as the Panzer takes aim and... explodes? Then you remember: you ordered a squad to sneak into the mine and plant the explosives on the enemy vehicles. (17) A single German, apparently overwhelmed by all this, throws down his weapons and retreats into the village center. (18+1 vs 10+3) The German fire continues to be completely ineffective. (100 NR vs 18 GR (8 vs 8+1) You take a shot at the closest German and miss, hitting a nearby house. (20! vs 1!) Your comrades clear out the rest of the guards with gratuitous head shots. You move through the village, sweeping every building room-by-room, before announcing it clear, having captured about 10. You meet up with the sabotage squad, (1) or what remains of them. There was only one survivor, the squad leader, who was in the last building cleared. He bled out not that long after they found him. It came at a cost, but the village has been retaken. The real question is, what next?

 And now, I have decided to finally post an explanation of how rolls actually work. There are two types of combat: Fights, and Battles. A fight is combat between two individuals or small groups. The rolls work like this (To Hit (Effected by Accuracy(5 is Average, Every Point of accuracy adds a 50% chance to get a +1 to Hit)  vs Dodge. If To Hit > Dodge, Defender must roll Soak to see how bad damage is. Soak is effected positively by Protection for that Body Part, and Negatively by Damage. A battle is a combat between two large groups. The rolls work like this (To Hit vs Dodge. If To Hit is X Higher then Dodge, kill X number of Defenders.) Battles are important because large chunks of land and large armies can be decimated in a single battle, changing the course of the war tremendously.

The troops begin to gather up weapons, finding about 40 K98ks, with about 2000 rounds of Mauser ammo. They also find 9 officers, each one carrying a Luger, and around 40 rounds of 9mm. You also find 15 uniforms in good condition, 2 of which are officer's uniforms. Finally, you give an inspiring speech to people of the village, trying to recruit them to come with you "Um, yeah, you should come with us, because... we're gonna kill nazis?" Amazingly, about 15 young, fit men step forward. Then, as an afterthought, one of the soldiers says "The rest of you should probably go to the refugee camp, they'll be coming back." You find 4 German trucks, all empty. "Must've unloaded them when they got here. Thought they'd be staying," says one of the nearby soldiers with a grin.

We should keep fighting by the rules of war, there our prisoners and should be treated as such.
Check them for hidden weapons, get there names ranks and numbers, then march then north.

Killing them is a war crime, that changes us from a Privileged combatant in to a Unprivileged combatant that can be freely shot as a spy.

We already took Axis uniforms to use later on (war crime), and the Nazis weren't exactly known for abiding by the laws of warfare ;)

Interrogate, torture if necessary, then dispose of the bodies - preferrably by sinking them in a lake wrapped in chicken wire and loaded down with a few stones, not by burying them where they'll be found later on.

You begin searching the rest of the town to make sure you didn't miss anything. When you check the Panzer II, you get lucky. The MG 34 was salvageable, and after about 30 minutes of work, you manage to turn it into a man portable LMG. A Sergeant with some basic training with machine guns steps up, and you give it to him. (Entry Added under Weapons) You check the trucks to make sure they're really empty, and find the following: The first had 2 K98ks and 50 rounds of Mauser ammo. The second was empty, but the third was a goldmine. Two crates of 100 Stielhandgranates each. And the final truck contained 20 MP40s, with 1000 rounds of 9mm in boxes. After being amazed by the lucky finds, you make a point of asking the men who searched the trucks the first time, "How did you miss this?" You also check the houses, and don't find anything. You head back to the millitary camp, after loading all your guns into one truck, the explosives (25 sticks of dynamite, 200 stick grenades) in another truck along with the uniforms, and then load the prisoners in one truck, the civilians another, and march with the soldiers back to camp. Once there, you manage to get a brief map of German positions by interrogating them. (Map Added in Encyclopedia, eventually) What next?

Let's distribute the grenades among the regular Army soldiers, first off. After that, let's see if we can get the volunteers to at least resemble soldiers, by getting them armed and finding them some spare or salvaged uniforms, so they shouldn't be shot out of hand. It might happen anyway, but at least it should make everyone feel better, in that they're soldiers, and subject to the Geneva Conventions (I know, the germans ignored that, but they didn't ignore it all the time, and our guys don't know they ignored it at all), instead of "partisan scum".

Oh, and get the newbies to train some with the german rifles.
MP40s are for drivers and engies, and for our sabotage teams.

Then lets get to base as fast as we can, have any germen speakers drive the lead truck in germen kit so thay can bluff any passing germens.
(It is ok to wear the other sides uniform to fool them but you have to get changed before you start shooting, see  Operation Greif (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Greif) for details)

Edit: we will need some plane white cloth to make in to capes/ snow suits to help use hide in the snow.

April 9, 1940. 5:30 PM

You hand out 2 grenades to each of the Army soldiers after explaining how they work, and give each volunteer a uniform and a German rifle, before telling everyone to go practice. You see the newbies shooting targets at 10 meters, being coached by a few regulars, and you see the MG doing dry fire practice in a nearby field. You even see a sergeant going through a makeshift killing house the soldiers built out of extra wood. They're like a big happy family, you think as you walk into the general's tent. "So, I see you're not dead yet. How'd it go?" The general listens quietly as you explain everything about the attack. The slaughter on the outskirts, the exploding tank, the dead sabotage squad, the local volunteers. "It's too bad we lost some good men, but at least we got the civilians out. Do you have a plan for tomorrow, or are you just winging it?"

April 10, 7:00 AM

The German unit of 96 guarding the valley pass is lazing off. Passing around cigars, talking, you know. You can see them, roughly 80 recruits, 8 officers, and 8 stormtroopers. One thing they don't know is that 115 Norwegians are camped out in the forests, only a Medium distance away. Then, at the crack of dawn, you strike. (115 NR vs 96 GR) (6 vs 19+1) You miss the first shot, throwing the element of surprise. Then the soldiers open fire. (8+1 vs 12+1) Not a single soldier manages to hit one of the Germans. (4+1 vs 19+1) The sergeants can't hit anyone either.  (19-1 vs 18+1) The locals almost manage to hit, but they still miss. (4+2+1 vs 5+1) The MG rips up, and manages to hit and kill a soldier with the first burst. (18+2+1 vs 11+1) The second burst goes much better, killing 9 more Germans. Then the Germans retaliate, (2-1 vs 11+2+1) killing 13 Locals. (9-1 vs 17+2+1) The officers manage to kill the rest of the locals, along with 6 Soldiers. (9 vs 2+3+1) As a silver lining, the stormtroopers managed to miss everyone. (94 NR vs 86 GR) Then you open fire for the second exchange (7 vs 16) missing 2 shots before giving it up. (2+1 vs 6+1) The soldiers open up a salvo, and miss every shot. You have a feeling something is going wrong here. (1+1 vs 7+1) The sergeants miss along with everyone else, as the MG rips up for a second sweep (14+2+1 vs 20!) The gunner shows great skill, but the Germans are better. (16+2+1 vs 20!) You watch in horror as the MG, one of your most powerful weapons, fails to kill even a single soldier. (18) The men hold steady however, refusing to give up the fight. (9 vs 7+2+1) One of the Sergeants catches a rifle bullet in the head, which, thanks to his helmet, doesn't kill him, but knocks him unconscious. (6 vs 20!) 14 soldiers die from concentrated pistol fire, as the fight seems to turn against you. (5 vs 2+3+1) The stormtroopers hit one soldier in the chest, wounding him fairly badly, but not killing him. (4 vs 19) You don't even bother shooting, the Germans are in too good cover to hit. (18+1 vs 12+1) 6 German recruits fall over dead from rifle fire, but it's not enough. (3+1 vs 15+1) The sergeants stay in cover, knowing they'll just be risking their necks trying to shoot at the enemy. (13+2+1 vs 4+1) The MG rips up, killing 11 recruits. (14+2+1 vs 10+1) Then, with the second salvo, the MG kills another 6. (78 NR vs (63 GR (20! vs 17+2+1) Your soldiers just barely duck under the massive barrage of well-aimed rifle fire. (3 vs 9+2+1) 9 Soldiers go down to pistol fire, which is quickly becoming the biggest killer of the whole battle. (11 vs 1!) The stormtroopers bravely charge, but are mowed down by rifle fire, in one of the most disastrous moves of the battle. (16 vs 12+1) You put bullets in the chests of 3 Germans Officers (1! vs 12) The Norwegian soldiers continue to not even make a dent in the enemy lines. (6+1 vs 16+1) The sergeants stay in cover, still unable to get a clear shot. (7+2+1 vs 4) The MG rips up yet again, mowing down an advancing squad of 6 Germans, including a single officer. (10+2+1 vs 20! The second burst of MG fire misses when the squad ducks down just in time. (13 vs 9+2+1) The riflemen miss with a salvo of rifle fire, skimming a few helmets. (6 vs 14) The 4 officers still alive mow down 2 Soldiers each. (19 vs 9+1) You mow down the last officers, (2-5) and the rest of the Germans surrender. You successfully clear out the rest of the fortress. (63 NR Alive, 2 Wounded, 42 GR captured.) Both sides are in shambles, with almost as many captured Germans as living Norwegians. Someone nearby suggests recruiting refugees back at the camp while you try to sort out who's still alive.

I always find real dice are better than random.org.

You get a more realistic scattering of rolls.

On random.org, you either get a series of poor rolls with the odd good one or a series of good rolls with the odd bad one. Never a good mix.

I do wonder if the Gmail has dice but that's his call. I
Honestly play this because it's a better alternative to nothin.

Look hard for building material and German radios and ship back our men. In camp try to recruit men/women
Willing to fight. Ask the general of the refugee camp about possible locations for our partisan base. Oh and see if we can get those Germans officers to cough up the occupations command structure. It's time we begin head hunting.

Agreed on the random.org part - sometimes it really seems fishy. There are some good desktop-dice out there thou, some with very nice functions even. Thou dice in a bowl obviously is best for authenticity.


Anyways, those captured germans are going to be a problem...
(And with recruits = young germans [mandatory service] = propaganda-brainwashed since childhood = as suicidal as rambo [but without plot-armour/evasion]; with germans at high morale and not starving either... surrendering... Yes, alternative universe in a game and all that, and I don't want to complain. Lets just say that the history-buff-part of me is cringing. Realizing that you have become "that" miser, but posting it anyways ... ugh >_>)

I feel almost bad for reading this.

Anyway, random.org has this whole atmospheric noise cahoot, don't they? Means probably that the noise stays the same for some time, which makes it less random, I guess.

Physical dices are still the best.

I think Random.Org uses sampling of atmos noise to begin the algorithm, because you'd have to be able to generate a lot of different random numbers (like a number between 21 and 101 for example). They evidently have grabbed large amounts of samples and compared them to statistical expectations and found that it's acceptable.

Also, any random number generator should be okay in the short term. After all it doesn't exactly matter whether that string of numbers will repeat in 3000 years of the forum game's duration. Most forum games seem to last a few pages.
