OK, here goes:


THE SANDS OF WAR, Errata, 1 February 1992


COUNTER ERRATA All of the brown heavy weapons should have their cargo
value reversed out of the black dot. All of the brown jeeps should have
their cargo values shown in a white dot. The values on the reverse sides
of the helicopters in the original game are incorrect The brown BTR-152U
should have a special function code of S, not R. The SA-9 and SA-13
counters should not have two numbers in the missile range position. The
man-carried TWO launcher should not have an armoured defense value.


MOVEMENT AND VISIBILITY CHART Rubble is not a sub-set of Vegetation; it is
a separate terrain type represented by a counter.


SCEANRIOS Makfar Al Busayyah: The references to an M42 82mm mortar (in the
Iraqi 1st Battalion, 3rd Brigade, 26th Infantry Division and in the 26th
Special Forces Battalion) should be changed to read MdMtr. Ambush at Mitla
Pas: The scenario calls for three elite infantry counters with a recon
special function code, but none are provided with the game. Use the
regular elite infantry coutners and treat them as if they have a recon
special function code. Khorramshar: Delete the flamethrower from the Iraqi
forces for the scenario. Only the Iranian player has a flamethrower. The
Iranian player should have 20 salvoes of HE for his medium mortars, not
10. encounter on the Ismailia Road: The Jump-Start folder lists this
scenario as using Map 16 while the rules book lists Map 12. Neither of
these are correct. The scenario is fought on Map 6.


POINTS VALUES (PP74-75) The point value for troop units should be as
follows:


Unit Cost Militia Inf 1/2 Lt Inf 1 Reg Inf 2 Elite Inf 4 Engineer 4 Msl
Team 2 Patrol 1 Cmndr 2/3 MMG 3 FO 12


The point cost for the SA-7A should be 3, not 1.


VISIBILITY AND SPOTTING The rules state that open high towns are not an
obstruction. While this rule works, a more accurate rule is the following:


Open High Towns Open high towns are not an obstruction when tracing LOS
straight along a hex row, provided the LOS is also traced directly along a
road. The first non-road open high town hex bolocks LOS, once the LOS has
been traced through at least one road open high town hex. If not tracing
along a straight road, the LOS can be traced through on open high town
hex, the second open high town hex, however, blocks LOS.
