So it applies to one check.

Yes and no.

RAW we only get at most a single unified request for the entire squad between missions.  If that’s all we get then yeah it’s one bonus on one roll.

If the Colonel says we each get a roll then each person would get the bonus cause it assists the squad and not the person individually.

I was getting the impression that it was the latter and not the former hence why I picked it up.  So it helps all of us and not just me or whoever is happening to do the roll and pick what they are trying for as a Hail Mary piece of kit that might help.

Looks like I got lucky enough to knick some of those grenades Wolfram, uh how many do I get from a successful roll? Just one?

No Coffee for me, why keep on living?

Actually I was wrong Arry...just re-read the Logistics test paragraph on 162 of the Core book.  It just mentions individual guardsmen or the squad as a whole wanting something outside standard issue they have to make a test.  Looks like the number of tests, who can test and whatnot are all GM discretion.  One test could be made or fifty if the GM wanted for whatever reason.

Based on that it's just how literal you want to read the line about 'the Squad' getting the bonus and that is something that The Colonel has to decide.

Colonel tell me if I'm wrong regarding Marcus and grenades...

My TN for getting grenades was off.  As the Colonel pointed out Grenade Launchers are the unit favored basic weapon.  Requisitioning the weapon or ammo for it is given a +10 to the logistics roll.  Errata says when you request ammo for a weapon you get 2 mags plus 1 mag per additional success after the first.  You rolled a 1 for 2 degrees so normally you'd get two mags for succeeding and one extra for your good roll.  Since your roll was lacking the +10 it would give you yet another degree of success.  Grenade Launchers have a mag capacity of (6) so unless I'm wrong you just got four magazines of grenades total...where you could remove the fire bomb grenades from the mag and throw them by hand instead of by weapon if desired just like we could load our frags or kraks into a grenade launcher and shoot them.  That should mean you have 24 fire bomb grenades on hand.

Is this the game where we errata'd that you can do that? I can barely keep track.

You know good question cause you are right that there have been so many interpretations of it.

If we can then we’d have 24 fire bombs.  If we can’t you found a whopping 1 fire bomb Marcus lol.

In this case, I'm allowing every player to make 1 check. If there's something particularly important you could sequentially request it to increase the odds you can get it.

You can take a grenade launcher round and jury-rig it to have some sort of fuse. This would allow you to set it or throw it without a launcher. This will require a Tech-Use check. It will be +10 if you have a good tool-kit, +0 if you're in the field and trying to make due. Also, this is not tech-heresy but it is misuse of Munitorium goods, so maybe don't let the commissar see.

Do you want one of us to roll for the mission equipment since it looks like we're going to be issued it before we know what our specific mission is other than "Kill them ALL in the name of the Emperor!"

I'm hoping not cause if we get 4+ degrees of failure that Logistic Result says each trooper is required to return a piece of standard kit.  Seeing even with it being mission specific since we don't get the benefits of Quinn's Persuasive charm our TN will be 10 meaning we've got a 50% chance of loosing equipment before we even deploy...LOL!

Men walk in and get into the Blizzard.

"Hey what are you doing that's our transport!"

"No this is the Imperial Guards transport and it's needed elsewhere." he then looks down to a data-slate before looking up, "Oh and pack in all your lasguns too...and the power packs."

Oh, Neava's post reminded me.

If anyone wants to re-jig your character before we begin, for a different specialization or different XP spend, you can get it done now.

Very hard for me to change my specialization...

Right, but if you want to start again from scratch you may.

Naaaaah, just need a shrink ray... you might get a bit hairy though :P

I'm ready to move on, saving xp for later(I have plans)
and i failed my Logistics Roll

I'm wondering if I should try for a vox-caster...

Considering it's Scarce and thus a -10 your TN that you would have to roll at or below would be:

0

Unless you had something to boost the TN further, but maybe if The Colonel gives us anything if we actually roll a 1 you could get it right now :D maybe

He said there was another bonus because it was mission specific? I don't think that's a real thing so owe would need the specific bonus from him. But at this point he's basically just setting the odds whole cloth with the bonus.

Wouldn't that simply be the roll for:  Mission Equipment?

The one were we roll and see if we are issued all the stuff that the mission calls for but if you roll well you can get good stuff or poorly you can get crappy things or they even take away your some of your standard kit.

Yeah that one gets a +10 so we've got a TN of 10 to get whatever we are supposed to be issued (whole cloth/multiple items/whatever the GM thinks we should actually have) for the mission cause we don't have it normally.  Then degrees of success or failure dictate if we get it at all or any other things.  And yeah I typed a TN of 10 because that is mission equipment, not extra stuff on the side that my Persuasive Charm could get us.  You don't sweet talk the actual mission equipment, lol.

It was my impression he created a category between Mission Equipment and regular req. Like if 1 in 5 squads were being assigned vox casters you could sweet talk someone into moving your squad onto that list. But I'm not sure.



That is all I have to go on. We get a bonus to those two things. I hope it was a non sequitur and they are not the critical things he mentioned because basically no matter the bonus we aren't getting them.

That makes sense and yeah unless they give us some serious bonuses on top of the default we're not getting any of it.  It's also why I'm even wary of the mission equipment.  With a TN of 10 if we roll anything between 50-100 we all loose a piece of our own kit that we already have.  We don't have much to start with and then hauling off a piece of what we were issued would really end up sucking.

I expect there will be enough las guns laying on the ground when we get there that we could give ours up...

*chuckles*

Yeah the Guard is quite expendable to their superiors who in turn their superiors see our command as expendable and so on all the way up.  Certainly we've got the right sort of spread of specialties and support to co-opt most of the kit we come across even if we might have to hand it back at the end of the mission.

You guys have been issued with one backpack-mounted voxcaster.

The valkyrie's name is the 'Lani,' commanded by Lt. Minella.

Should have asked that question earlier but yeah this is 40k where the iom would think nothing of replacing an entire planets population if needed (and indeed, it can be the reward of ig regiments to then take over the planet for themselves after having cleansed the previous occupants) so asking for a clarification whether we are there to liberate or eradicate.

Currently, the plan is to occupy the planet. There has been no orders relating to  The civilian population. In fact, command is hoping to take the planet relatively intact, so that it can continue producing on behalf of the  Imperium during this campaign.
