David, 

I very much hope that eventually we see a game using the Lodz system
applied to the Galician camapaigns. 

Meanwhile, below is an updated errata for Lodz 1914. As before, the
wording is my own interpretation of what has been written, so is subject
to comment and correction. The post numbers are references to David
Bolt's posts.

3.611B Clarification: Cavalry Dismount. Cavalry combat strength is not
halved if involved in a combat with only support units. [#67]

3.611B Clarification: Cavalry Retreat Before Combat. Cavalry retreating
before combat may not retreat through enemy ZOCs, and may not engage in
Off March attacks. [#82]

3.6144 Clarification: Army and Front HQs. The Ruszki and Grand Duke
Nicholas HQs may never be moved adjacent to an enemy unit. Should they
start the friendly Movement Phase adjacent to such a unit, they must
move (assuming that they are able to) so that they are no longer
adjacent at the first opportunity. Both these HQs cannot move farther
away than six hexes from the eastern map edge. [#137]

7.0 Clarification: Supply. Supply is determined for each side only
during its friendly supply phase. [#82] 

7.1 & 7.2 Clarification: Supply. A unit belonging to a corps may trace
supply to that corps HQ (only), or to the army HQ to which that corps
belongs, or to a rail line. A unit with an army designation may trace to
that army HQ (only), or to a rail line. A unit that is not specified as
part of either an army or a corps (essentially, Front units) may trace
supply only to a rail line. [#137]

9.0 Clarification: Stacking. Armoured trains count as battalions for
stacking purposes. [#168] 

10.42 Clarification: Vistula Crossings. There are three bridges across
the Vistula at the start of the game, and three ferry crossings. Bridges
and ferries are identical, except when specified otherwise. Both are
subject to the unit crossing rules (maximum total of 2 Russian units and
1 German unit may cross the river in any one game turn; crossing costs
the entire MA of the units involved). Vistula bridges and ferries may be
destroyed by either player in the usual fashion (see 10.43). Ferries,
but not bridges, may be rebuilt. Supply may be traced across bridges and
ferries. Turns when the Russians may not cross the Vistula apply to both
bridges and ferries. [#133 etc]

10.5 Clarification: Reconnaissance. Cavalry reconnaissance is undertaken
individually, unit by unit, and is not cumulative when it comes to
screening by defending cavalry. Example: a Russian division of two
infantry brigades, HQ, and one-factor cavalry regiment is stacked in a
hex. A German one-factor cavalry unit pays two MPs to reconnoitre the
hex, revealing only the defending Russian cavalry. If another German
one-factor cavalry was to reconnoitre the same hex in the same turn, it
would also only reveal the Russian cavalry unit. [#63 & #82]

10.6 Change: Off March Attacks. Defender’s modifier is –2 (as in the
rules, not –1, as per the Combat Summary Chart). [#61]

10.6 Clarification: Off March Attacks. The ZOC of the enemy unit(s) in
the hex that is the target of an Off March attack is negated. Other
enemy units do exert a ZOC in these circumstances, so adjacent enemy
units could still exert a ZOC requiring a +2 expenditure. [#67]

10.6 Clarification: Off March Attacks. Units in a stack making an Off
March attack, including HQs and support units, do not have to
participate in the attack. They are exempt from the effects of the
combat if they do not take part, but may not move any further that turn.
[#67]

10.8 Clarification: Reserve Movement. HQs in reserve may not bombard.
[#133] 

11.0 Clarification: Entrenchments. Units in entrenchments do not add 4
to their morale roll when attempting to resist retreat. [#133]

11.0 Change: Entrenchments. The morale check to complete entrenchments
is not performed for each individual unit in the entrenching stack.
Instead, one morale roll is made for the whole stack. The morale level
to use is the average morale of the units involved, calculated in the
same manner as for combat (round fractions down). [#137]

12.3 Clarification: Retreats and ZOCs. Units completely surrounded by
enemy units or impassable terrain must take all combat losses in
strength points. Example: a rout result in these circumstances would
cause the defender to lose 5 steps. [#82]

13.11 & 13.12 Clarification: Bombardment & Counter Battery Fire. Only
the phasing player conducts bombardment, but both players conduct
counter-battery fire later in the combat phase. [#18]

13.12 Clarification: Bombardment. Bombardments must consist of at least
1 to 3 odds, or they have no effect, and may not be used to satisfy the
requirement to attack all enemy units adjacent to the phasing player’s
attacking units. [#133]

13.8 Clarification: Combat Resolution. The defender implements combat
results first. [#133] 

13.91 Clarification: Retreats. If defending units are retreated into a
hex which is itself subsequently attacked, those units already retreated
may not add to the combat value of the stack in any way. They are
affected by retreat results from the second combat, but may only lose
steps if all other units in the hex have been eliminated. [#168]

14.5 Change: Resisting Retreat. The morale check to resist retreat is
not performed for each individual unit in the affected stack. Instead,
one morale roll is made for the whole stack. The morale level to use is
the average morale of the units involved, calculated in the same manner
as for combat (round fractions down). If the morale roll is failed, the
stack is disrupted, and must retreat two hexes. [#137]

16.432 Clarification: Automatic Russian Release (Russian Army Units).
Russian army units are available at start. [#82] 

16.433 Change: Lodz (Campaign Game). The Campaign Game ends on December
6th, not December 7th. Starting with “During Game Turn 25…..” (half way
down the first paragraph of this rule), ignore the remainder of the
paragraph. [#83]

16.44 Change: Additional Corps (& Eastern Mapedge Exit). Add: “For every
non-cadre strength point that exits the East map edge, the German player
receives a Victory Point. Units exited in this manner may return to play
if the hex they exited the map from remains in German control. If a unit
re-enters the game map, any Victory Points obtained from its exit are
forfeited.” [#83]

18.211 Change: Battle of Kutno Set Up. Add the following to the Russian
At Start set up: 1st Caucasian Cavalry Division within one hex of 2324,
with 3 strength point losses. [#82]

19.1 Change: Russian At Start Set Up. The two 5th Army engineer units
were omitted from the countermix. Also applies to 18.211 Battle of Kutno
Set Up, and 18.311 Battle of Lodz Set Up. [#65]

19.3 Change: Campaign GameReinforcement Schedule. Turn 20
(Austro-Hungarian) - 61st Brigade is part of 32nd Division (not 31st, as
listed). Turn 22 (Austro-Hungarian) - Delete the reference to the
infantry brigade (both brigades of the division have already entered).
Add the BH(-) Cavalry Regiment attached to 32nd Division. [#137]
