Subject: Peloponnesian War Errata (was Re: Pelopennesian War, argggg...)

Per request, here are the errata and Q&A which appeared in The General
(vol 28 no 1). Please followup or email (ewilen@mprinc.com) with any
corrections or suggestions.

PELOPONNESIAN WAR ERRATA:

5.0 COMBAT PHASE; No Battle
(2-Player and Multi-Player versions only)
When a "No Battle" occurs, one side will be placed in the "Going Home
Box", as per the following conditions:
1. If the space contains an Army and a Force, the Force remains and the
Army is placed in the "Going Home Box".
2. If there are two Armies and the space is _not_ neutral, then the
Army to whom the space is friendly stays, and the opposing Army is
placed in the "Going Home Box".
3. If the space is a neutral space, then the Naval Force is placed in
the "Going Home Box".
OPTIONAL RULE: Long Walls of Athens (Rule 5.3.1)
If Athenian Forces in the Athens space are to participate in a battle
(not a siege) and there is no leader in the Athens space, then an
Athenian leader, if one is available, is drawn randomly prior to battle
resolution and placed in the Athens space.

Q & A
Q. Can Naupactus be used for "Shortest Legal Route" calculations?
A. No.
[This ruling makes absolutely no sense to me, unless the question is
changed to 'Can Naupactus be used for "Shortest Legal Route
calculations" by a Force travelling along Land LOCs when Naupactus is
enemy-controlled?' --EW]

Q. Does Nicias affect a possible armistice when he is selected as a
Leader during the Leader Selection Segment _only_, or any time he is
selected as a Leader during the Operations Phase?
A. Only during Leader Selection.

Q. Assuming all requirements for conducting an Operation are met
(favorable "auguries" die roll, available Leaders, available funds,
etc.), can an Operation still be conducted:
--if friendly units *and* an enemy Force occupy the home space of the
side attempting the operation?
--if *only* an enemy force occupies the home space of the side attempting
the operation?
A. Yes; yes.

Q. If a Spartan Army enters either the Athens or Pireaeus spaces per
the "Long Walls of Athens" rule, is the siege resolved immediately, or
normally during the Siege Resolution Segment?
A. Normally.

Q. Do Naval ZOIs extend along the Cape Taenarum to Syracuse (Rule 4.1.3) LOC?
A. No.

Q. During a Going Home Segment (either Operations or Combat phase),
where are Allied SPs placed if all the locations listed for that unit
type on the Post-Combat Movement Table are enemy-controlled?
A. All Allied Land SPs (Hoplite and Cavalry) are placed in either
Athens or Sparta, whereas all Allied Naval SPs are placed in either
Pireaeus or Gythium. If Pireaeus or Gythium are enemy-controlled, then
the Allied Naval SPs are eliminated.

Q. If a Cause Rebellion Strategy (Rule 4.4) cannot be conducted against
enemy home or coalition spaces, is the strategy only effective against
Neutral spaces?
A. No, for purposes of Rule 4.4 a "coalition" space is any space named
on the Post-Combat Movement Table. All other spaces in the game are
vulnerable to the Cause Rebellion Strategy.

Q. Can an Epidamnos LOC (Rule 7.1.3) be traced through enemy and neutral
spaces that do not contain enemy forces?
A. No, all spaces through which a LOC to Epidamnos is traced must be
both "controlled" _and_ free of enemy forces. [Also note for purposes
of this rule that the "Macedonia" space is not considered part of
Macedon--it is a regular neutral space. This per an email discusson with
Mark Herman. --EW]

Q. In a Land battle, is there a priority for determining where the SP
losses are applied or does the owning player simply choose which SPs
are eliminated?
A. Losses from Land battles must be applied to Athenian/Spartan SPs
before any Allied SPs are lost, and to Hoplite before Cavalry SPs.

Q. During a Going Home Segment (either Operations or Combat phase), if
there are two or more leaders in a space, which Strategic Rating is used?
A. Use the lower of the two Strategic Ratings. 

Q. In a Combined Battle between forces separated by a Naval LOC, are
the number of Land SPs that can participate in the subsequent Land Battle,
if it occurs, limited by insufficient Naval Transport (rule 4.4.4)?
A. No. Naval transport limitations only apply during movement and have
no effect on combat. All available SPs participate in combat when they
fulfill the conditions of Rule 5.4, Condition 4  (Battle Resolution Segment).
