Rules

[2.48] Correction: The bulleted item listing German cadre types should
read: German. All infantry xx's = 2-3-7 cadre; 1 Mountain xx = 2-3-8
cadre.

[4.1] Correction: The first sentence of Step C3 should read: All units
that aren't fatigued and that did not paradrop during the current turn
recover from disruption per 11.0 (Disruption).

[11.33] Clarification: A disrupted unit that loses a step as a result of
being disrupted again doesn't stop being disrupted.

Pages 15-16. Correction: The section numbered 12.4 (Fatigue) should be
numbered 11.4. The individual cases under this heading, which for some
reason known only to God and David Ritchie, are numbered 23.41 through
23.45 should be numbered 11.41 through 11.45.

[12.0] Reaction. Clarification: Units never react as a result of an
overrun; skip step 9 of the combat procedure when resolving overruns.

[12.36] Addition. Units that participated in the combat that triggered a
reaction cannot react themselves.

[13.2] Correction: The reference to rule 13.44 in the second bulleted
item is incorrect; the reference should be to 13.5.

[13.43] Addition: Refugee markers inhibit retreats per 9.93 by causing
the diruption of units with an ER less than 6 that enter a hex
containing refugees. They also force Panic Checks per 10.11.

[16.23] Correction: The reference to rule 9.83 is incorrect; the
reference should be to rule 2.48.

Summary Card

[2.7] Die Roll Summary (Reaction Check). Correction: The reference to
moving a number of units  equal to the HQ's ER is incorrect; rule 12.31
is correct. When a reaction  occurs, you can move either one unit of any
size or all of the units in a division.

Special Notice

Honest guys! The dog ate our homework and the die cutter trashed our
game. Seriously, due to production errors in the  first print run of
Victory in  the West, some copies of the game have a Map B doesn't match
up properly with Map A and Countersheet Nr. 3 is diecut so that the back
of the sheet appears to be the front. If your copy of the game has these
imperfections contact GMT Games, and we will send you a free replacement
Map A and Countersheet Nr. 3.
