The Green Hell of Inor

Scenarios / CG

  • INOR CG II and CIII : Ignore SSR 5 for the French units setting up in Inor village.

  • FT INOR 2 & 10 : Ignore SSR 3.
  • FT INOR7 Clarification : The German group 2 cannot setup in plowed fields hexes. SSR 4 : 2nd sentence : The rule reference for Bombardment should be CG 5.1 not INOR11. FT -*
    FT INOR 12 : Clarification : Fallen rubbles are ignored for victory conditions

Rules

Groupes Francs : In the rules it says : 458 unit (Elite, broken moral 7). It should read broken morale 8, as displayed on the counters. Same for the 248 : use the printed value of their broken
side.

The Algerians : according to the rules, they are "assumed to have a broken side moral one higher than printed". This sentence should be removed, as their correct broken value is 8, as
displayed on the counters.

Rule 3.I :

The control conditions of the following geographical areas are missing. They are mainly used for the first scenario of CG II and III.

 Bois de La Hache : a side controls the "Bois de La Hache" if <= 10 hexes are No man’s land/enemy Controlled.

LFT 246 "Gladium Pro Patria e Rege"
Victory Conditions should read as follows :
The Germans win at Game End if they have amassed >= 12 VP (including >= 5 VP of infantry ; Prisoners are NA ; AFVs without functioning MA do not count) on / between vY1 - v GG5, provided there is no Mobile Italian fully-tracked AFV with funtioning MA in LOS and within 6 hexes of the German set up area.

Nor’Easter pack II

It looks like some NP2 mapboard buildings have been printed a bit darker than expected, and they appear to be like Stone Buildings.

Unless otherwise stated by SSR, all the buildings of board NP2 are Wooden Buildings.

YASL19 Indirect Panther :

The AL directing OBA does not prevent the Panther from firing it’s MA and MG’s in that Player Turn. However, the special characteristics for the AL described in Battle Order D cannot be used if the AL is directing OBA in that Player Turn.

The Fight for Seoul

Seoul rulebook

  • At S3.3 after "...>= level 2" add "[EXC : NA if the road is paved].
  • At 16.3 the 13th line should read "<=" not " ?".
  • At 16.612 ... second line from the bottom .. "E.7442" .. should read "E7.422".

Smith’s Ridge rulebook

  • On page 8, the broken KPA 4-4-7 should have a broken side ML of 7.
  • At 13.3 TACP, 13th line, should read "<=" not ">=".
  • At 13.5, in condition "a" that should read <= 3, not >= 3."
  • At 13.612...second line from the bottom .. "E.7442" .. should read "E7.422".
  • Smith’s Ridge Terrain Chart Errata : RR Tunnel in the Misc. Col. that should read "Immune..."

Q & A

  • Q : Page 7 of the Campaign Games Rules : UN Assault Scenario Victory for CGII, The wording seems to indicate that once the UN controls any of the listed buildings they win the scenario. Should it be similar to KPA victory (more roadblocks controlled then at start or control of one of the listed buildings that was uncontrolled at start) ?
    A : It is the dreaded nature of “and/or” in ASL. It is Control more roadblocks than they started the date with AND any of the following buildings....
  • Q : Page 15 of the Campaign Games Rules : 11.609 Extinguishing Blazes Looks like burning woods has been missed. My assumption is that woods should be included in 11.6092 Brush, Orchard, Wooden Rubble and turned into shellholes
    A : Correct, add Woods before Brush in the title.
  • Q : Page 20 of the Campaign Games Rules : 11.6161 Historical DRM ChartThis section states "... and inversely to adjust the maximum number of Infantry Companies a side may purchase per CG Day (11.6195)." There is no reference in 11.6195 to maximum number of Infantry Companies there was in RB rules. Was the intention that No limits Example both sides are limited only by the CG Max and CPP points RB style limits - 2 companies + Reverse of Historical DRM Example Marines can purchase 2 companies on 25PM and the KPA can purchase 4 companies on the 25NSome other option (2 companies max or 1 company per zone)
    A : See if I am reading you correctly here, we might be crossed wired for a second. The max is listed on the RG card, FfS 11.6195 notes this as where to look. The intention is as you phrased it “limited only by CG Max and CPP points.”
    Clarification : For purposes of VT, an Overpass is treated as a Culvert."

Clarification : for the “Seoul Map” for hex Z36. There is no LOS from Z35 to Z37 (and vice versa). The movement cost to move from Z37 to Z36 is 4 MF (due to sunken railroad at level 1 in Z36). The designer got too slavish to reality here and this does not translate well to the “ASL world” art and the rules that go with that artwork. That hex (Z36) should be seen as sunken RR, at level 0, from a level 1 hex, ala AA36.

Scenarios

  • Scenario S2 : SSR 5 add as the last sentence : "The +1 MP of E1.52 is NA on the convoy’s turn of entry."
  • Scenario S6 : The USMC set up should read " LL43-..." vs "LL44-...".
    The EX of hill levels are incorrect, read instead EX : KK56.
  • Scenario SmR1 : shows aircraft with rockets, yet no SSR to confirm such as per rule SmR 13.61. Which is correct the counter art or the lack of SSR ? The artwork is correct. Add "The UN receives Rocket equipped aircraft (SmR 13.61) in both waves" to SSR 4.
  • Scenario SmR2 : shows one aircraft with rockets, yet no SSR to confirm such as per rule SmR 13.61. Which is correct the counter art or the lack of SSR ? The artwork is correct. Add "The UN receives one Rocket equipped aircraft (SmR 13.61) in Flight 2" to SSR 5.
  • Scenario SmR3 : in the KPA OB, the "Reinforcements," entry instructions should read "....edge(s), as concealed units, not cloaking, the assigned " ?" are for dummies.
     SSR 3 should read : All USMC MMC (and any SW/SMC stacked with them) may set up in 1-Squad
    Foxholes.
  • Scenario SmR4 : in the KPA set up add the following : "and not on Hill 104" after "per HDP".
  • Scenario SmR11 : shows aircraft with rockets, yet no SSR to confirm such as per rule SmR 13.61. Which is correct the counter art or the lack of SSR ? The artwork is correct. Add "The UN receives Rocket equipped aircraft (SmR 13.61)" to SSR 3.

From the Cellar pack 6

FT 169:

The reference to SSR 3 should be ignored.

From the Cellar pack 8

FT209 "Euphrates Clash" : for the Bedouin reinforcements, it says that they must all enter mounted. The SSR should have said "mounted if possible".

Page 51, 2nd table, Lun4 OB additions with American margin results : the sentence "remove the SdKfz 231 from the at start German OB" should be changed to "remove the SdKfz 232 from the at start German OB".

Page 51, Lun3 outcome, American margin, Lun4 additions : the "M8 GMC" is in fact a "M8 HMC", US note 43.

From the Cellar pack 8

Deluxe pack # 1

Apologies, there is an error with the OOB for FT 202. There should have been 6, not 3, Japanese 3-3-6 squads.

In FT 203 (Hara Kiri Gulch), setup instructions for the US should read "set up on board (d6) on or west of hexrow C and/or on board (d2) on or west of hexrow M"

Precision to SSR3: the Russians may Set their DC using HIP.

In SSR6, the German has to designate "prior to play" which forces will enter. Prior to play means "Before Game Turn 1".

FT 145 historical blurb:

Following the victory of People’s Liberation Army on the mainland, the GMD started to withdraw to Taiwan. However, they still occupied the island bordering the mainland in the Straights of Shanghai. On October 25th 1949, the People’s Republic of China launched its troops against the island in the straights, as a first step towards the conquest of the island and eventually of Taiwan itself.

2 errors have been found in the Banzai charge example:

1. The 50mm MTR WP should be dispersed.
2. The wounded hero should be pinned as had spent >3MF on receiving the wound.

Thanks to Aaron Cleavin, from Sidney (AUS) for these ones... and apologies to you all.

Kampfgruppe Scherer: the Shield of Cholm

Rules:

LFT 1 Map precision:

In order to avoid the map to be damaged during transport, we printed it with about 5 extra milimiters on several edges so that everyone should cut this extra paper in order to have a regular sized mapboard.

Scenario FT 90:

The blank counter in the French OB should be filled with a French HMG (6-12). i.e, the French has two HMG in his OB.

FT153 "Nailed To The Ground"
Add LFT SSR for the Blue Division units: Spanish units have a -2 drm on the Leader Creation Table and a -1 DRM on the Heat of Battle Table.

Aachen campaign
Here are some questions which arose after the release of our latest issue about the Aachen LFT # 10 Campaign Game:

1 - In the text it says that the Americans have 175 CPP throughout the campaign but if you total up the columns of the chart you get 170 CPP.

The correct total is 175 CPP, and these 5 extra CPP have to be added to scenario 4 American CPP total (from 50 to 55).

2 - If the US buys the HW section and trades the 3 x 60mm mtrs for the radio, the Americans forfeit the half squads in the HW section.

3 - The American player may roll on the gyrostabilizer chart to see if purchased American AFV’s (those that are gyro capable) come with a gyrostabilizer. Roll individually for each AFV.

4 - The C2 US reinforcement groups (Medium Tanks) shows a maximum of "2" for one of the scenarios, but a maximum for the campaign as "1". The maximum for the Campaign should read "2".

PF : A precision brought by Chris Brackney, aka VolgaG68 who wisely asked about PF and ATMM avaiblity for Spaniards. Here is the answer:

 not available in 1943 (by the time the Division was retired and sent back to Spain).
 Available in 1944 and 1945 as if Germans (whether Whermacht or Spanish SS units).

ATMM: inherent in Spanish Squad/HS from June 44+.

Thank you to our readers for those questions, and sorry for the inconvenience they might have brought to your games.

Le Franc Tireur 9

Due to the problems during FT9 development, I had been compelled to do the lay out and several other things with no tools for that, and apologize for these bad printings.

Here are the first errata, hoping that there won’t be anymore. Some scenario cards are not readable, so here is the necessary information to play this couple of scenarios giving problems. Once again, we apologize and promise you that next time we will stop using the glossy paper…

FT 60

Remove a 227 in the Croatian OB and add 2 x LMG to the Partisan OB (i.e. the Croatian has 2 Crews and the Partisan 4 x LMG). Thanks to Matt Cicero for this one & some others below!).

FT 61

Add a 228 in the Cossack OB (so that they have 2 x 228 Crews).

  • SSR 4:
    SSR 4 : All 5-4-8 / 2-3-8 are Cossacks. They have an underlined Morale [A 19.132 is NA] and are treated as Russians for Heat of Battle/Leader creation/deployment only. They do not possess Infantry Smoke Grenades nor Panzerfausts and use German MGs with no penalty. To form a multilocation firegroup with Cossack units and non Cossack units, a Leader must be present in each location of this FG.

FT 63

  • Partisan OB: Partisan OB: Rearguard Elements of the 7th Proletarian Division [ELR : 5] set up on / East of hexrow F {SAN: 4}
  • German OB: 7th SS Gebirgs Div. Prinz Eugen, II/1 8th Kompanie [ELR: 5] enter on / after turn 1 by the West Edge. {SAN: 2}

FT 66

  • German OB: Marine Troops of the Solta Garrison [ELR: 3 - See also SSR 4] set up anywhere on board 46. {SAN: 3}
  • Allied OB: Unit B 2671st Special Reconnaissance Battalion [ELR: 3] set up on board 18 on / South of hexrow 7. {SAN: 2}

FT 67

In Axis OB, replace "see SSR 2 and SSR 3" with "see SSR 2 and SSR 4".

In Partisan OB partisan, replace "see SSR 4 and SSR 5" with "see SSR 3 and SSR 4"

Thanks to "Doctor No" :-)

 StN8.1: add to end of the rule: “A K/# result from a Placed DC (or the Campbeltown’s DC) will damage the Caisson. 8VP are awarded for each damaged Caisson (see also StN27.31). A damaged Caisson can only be destroyed by a KIA result.†Chart StN 27.2 shows the correct Damage value for a Caisson.

 StN20: Add to the end of the ninth line: “which can be placed in any hex of that Vessels Groupâ€

 StN23.1:In the last line, add “remaining†between “DP†and “may†.

 StN24 & HSR2: Delete “(and target’s hexes)†.

 StN25.33. Add “and +2 if StN25.21 applies†after “status countersâ€

 StN26.5: Delete first use of next in line 1. Add to the end, “The Campbeltown becomes scuttled if she sinks after ramming the Caisson.â€

 StN26.6 Add “beginning†between "friendly Prep Fire Phase" and "in the turn" (i.e., should read: ". . . friendly Prep Fire Phase beginning in the turn after after the Campbeltown’s scuttling DR . . .")

 M3.1 The reference to "Naval-Crews" in M3.1 is erroneous and these words should be deleted.

 M3.21, in the second sentence, delete “by a non-Japanese squad†and delete the third sentence.

 M4: At the end of the second sentence, add: “[EXC: E1.52 is NA, see M11.5]†.

 M4.12: At the end of the second sentence, add: “; moreover, this one hexspine change may only be conducted when the MGB spends MP to enter a hex†. The counter art picture and the counters refer to rule “M4.03†which is incorrect. The referenced rule should be “M4.12†.

 M4.13: Should read Reverse Motion not Reverse Movement., the counter should read M4.13

 M4.16: At the end, delete: “(E1.91)†.

 M4.3: At the end of the third sentence, add: “and is considered a motorized vehicle for Starshell Initial Use (E1.91)†.

Chapter H

 Allied/Axis Minors #1: The AAMGs are scrournged as LMGs. The counter is correct.

 British #14. The Twin Vickers .50cals cannot be scrounged.

 German #1: What is the Normal Range for the 7FP AAMG?. A: 8.

 Italian #2: What is the Normal Range for the 6FP AAMG? A: 8.

 Japanese #1: Is the Normal Range for the 8FP bMA/aMA 14 hexes (same as for Japanese #2 8FP aMA)? A: Yes and Yes.

 Russian #4: The graphic does not match the text—the text says the aMA is not supposed to be able to fire through the VCA, but the graphic shows it as not firing through the RVCA. A: The aqua colored graphic arc should look like the purple graphic but reversed (flipped over end).

 US #2: The intro text says "This version was armed with two 18" torpedo tubes . . ." but the MA description says "The MA is four torpedoes as signified by ’MA: TPx4’", and the counter also shows TPx4. The text and counter should refer to only TPx 2.

Player’s aides & Charts/Tables

 StN19.2 StN Gun/Searchlight Defense Table: FF43 and FF44 should read FF45 and FF46 respectively.

 On HMS Campbellton player’s Aid #1, there should be only one CS number and that number is 8. Thanks to Rob MacDonald for pointing it out :)
