If your squads have these weapons can you switch from krack to frag and back again through out the game?

Yes, it does not state you are forced to use a particular round for the entire game.

Thats why missile launchers are so good (and grenade launchers as a more portable version).

Note that it does count for the Whirlwind tank which has a missile launcher

Yeah, the man-portable weapons are a simple matter of popping in a frag or krak round before you fire... The Whirlwind's missile battery is fully loaded before the fighting starts and cannot change.

Can a dreadnought wit ha missle launcher have different missiles load up. So if you wanted to fire a krak missle at a tank one trun, then a frag at some infantry the next. In the league I have been playing in people state that I can do this. In last nights game I picked krak missiles and then was going to change to frag. The SM player said I could not do that. So can I swap rounds?

All Space Marine missile launchers are the same. They can fire either krak or frag missiles, as per their description in the Space Marine weapon summary on p.41 of the C

M. This also includes the Terminator Cyclone missile launcher as described on p.23 of the C

M. It doesn't matter whether these are man portable or mounted on a dreadnought.

The Whirlwind is a different story altogether. It is armed with a Whirlwind multiple missile launcher. You must choose whether it will be armed with either Vengeance or Castellan missiles before the game begins and can only utilize the one type throughout the game. This is explained in the Whirlwind description on p.39 of the C

M.

Maybe you can make an issue about the fact that GW didn't define the action of 'rolling' a D6 to actually mean dropping it in such a manner as to produce a random result; thus making it perfectly acceptable to just put them down with the face up of your choice?
