RULE MODIFICATIONS

Mapboard 

The unnamed port on the south coast of Sicily is Empledolce.

Terrain Analysis Chart 

The effect of combat on a town hex is +2, (not +12).

CCC 2 - The effects of die roll 7, or 8 at 2-1, or 8 at 3-1 should be
1/2 the Attacker's Combat Power destroyed (not all destroyed).

Axis VHO Chart - Under Occurance "C", the 15VPs are awarded to the AC.

Rule 11, C. - After the port name of Gela, add Syracuse.

Movement Rule

Clarification, IV., D - Redeployment Moves occur during the initial
movement segment of each Commander's turn.

Combat Rule

Clarification, B. 4 - If a unit(s) is forced to retreat onto a hex where
violation of the Concentration rule occurs, units of an amount necessary
to compile with the rules are "displaced" from the hex by the retreating
units. Displaced units, in turn, are retreated and they may cause
further displacements if necessary.

Rule IX., A.3 - Add to 3rd paragraph, 2nd sentence - Units labelled
B,D,N are making amphibious assaults. Such units are placed at sea
adjacent to the enemy-held port each is assaulting.

Rule IX., C. - Add - 2. German Airborne Assaults

German Airborne Assaults are not subject to scattering. They may land on
any hex outside of the Allied air zone except Mt. Etna, provided the
Concentration rule is not violated. Conditions applicable to the AC's
airborne assaults apply to the XC's airborne assaults, except as noted.

Victory Rule

Correction - AC's Victory Points - In the example, if the condition was
fulfilled on turn 20, the AC would receive 17 VP's, (not 12).

XT Naval Gunfire - Addition 

Naval Gunfire may never be used against Messina or any adjacent hex. It
may always be used against any other coastal hex.

Terrain Analysis Chart - Addition 

Bridges - When a road goes over a river, it is considered to be a bridge
Units may move across bridges at normal road movement rate, not paying
for river crossing. Units attack across bridges as in normal crossriver
attack.

Clarification 

When two or more terrain types coexist in the same hex, the worst of the
two is used for movement and combat purposes. Movement and terrain
combat costs are only culmulative when rivers are involved.

Addition to CCC Explanation. 

Coastal-Defense units are destroyed when they suffer any adverse result,
including, EX, 1/2DX, DX, D Retreats. Units which surrender are considered
destroyed.

Addition to Section IX, Para. A.3 

All Allied units on the mapboard at the start of the historical game are
making either Invasions or Airborne Assaults on their total must be
deducted from his Invasion Points.
