From: "Philippe Bruneau" To: Subject: Some Q&A for Von Manstein's Backhand Blow (straight from GMT) From Tony Curtis Manager, GMT Games LLC Von Manstein's Backhand Blow questions 1) There some reinforcement counters (10-12) with no setup hexes and attack/defense/movement values of zero (0). What purpose do they serve? They are German variable reinforcement units (refer to section 11.2 of the vMBB Exclusive Rules). They represent rear area formations that were never assembled or dissolved in the chaos of combat. They go in the cup with the rest of the German variable reinforcements, and when they are drawn, they are set aside. Just part of the charm of the system - keeps you wondering about whether you'll get worthwhile units, or worthless units. 2) The July 2002 errata has this huge blurb on Victory Conditions yet the latest version of the Exclusive rules state that Victory resides only with city ownership and wether Soviets are west of the Donets River. Do these victory points (from the errata) serve any purpose? They remain only as optional victory conditions should you choose to use them ______________________________________________________________ Philippe Bruneau philippe@wildsands.org
