Eighth Air Force Errata - as of 11/20/95 B-25C Aircraft Cards The B-25Cs in Eighth Air Force have 10 Hit Points on their Damaged side. This is correct. The B-25Cs in Luftwaffe (with 9 Hit Points) are incorrect. Disengagement Chart The Voluntarily Disengagement condition should be Down 1, not Up 1. Limit on Full Throttle Counters A jet may never accumulate Full Throttle counters in excess of its Speed Rating. Rule Change Medium and Heavy Bombers may only Disengage from a Mission during the Target-Bound Phase. Schweinfurt Operation Clarification Two important pieces of information did not make it into the rules, or onto the sheet. The bomber force is composed of: 6 B-17Fs and 3 B-17Gs Schweinfurt is an Industrial Center Target, with the "Vital Target" Option Dam Buster Operation Clarification The Operation encompasses the destruction of three dams. The player receives 10 Lancasters to destroy all three dams. The player conducts one run at a time against the first dam until it is destroyed. Once it is destroyed, the next run is conducted against the second dam. The second dam is then attacked until it is destroyed. Once it is destroyed, the third dam is attacked. The Operation ends with the destruction of the third dam, or the run of the 10th Lancaster. Example: The following example summarizes the events in one Dam Busters Operation. Bomber #1: Is unable to respond to a Tight Turn card along the Bomb Run for the M”hne Dam and is Destroyed. -20 VP Bomber #2: Scores a Hit on the M”hne for 1 D.P. and adds one saved In My Sights card to increase the damage to 2 D.P. The Bomber is undamaged. +10 VP Bomber #3: Scores a Miss on the M”hne for 0 D.P. and adds one IMS card to boost the damage to 1 D.P. This brings the total damage to 3 D.P., which is enough to Breach the Dam. The Bomber is undamaged. +10 VP for the Bomber, +100 VP for the Breached Dam. Bomber #4: Makes a run on the Eder Dam and scores a Direct for 2 D.P. A saved IMS card adds 1 D.P., and the Dam is Breached. The Bomber is, unfortunately destroyed by the Pull Out Card draw. -20 VP for the Bomber, +100 VP for the Breached Dam Bomber #5: Makes a run on the Sorpe Dam. It scores 0 D.P. with a Miss card, and has no IMS cards remaining to boost the damage. +10 VP Bomber #6: Makes a run on the Dam and is forced to abort. The second run is also forced to abort. During these runs the bomber is Damaged. -10 VP Bomber #7: Makes a run and has it Spoiled by Possible Spoiled Attack cards. +10 VP Bomber #8: Makes a run and scores a Direct for 2 D.P. +10 VP Bomber #9: Makes a run and scores a Miss, but boosts it by 3 with 3 IMS cards. The Dam is Breached. +10 VP for the bomber, +100 for the Dam Outcome: 310 VP for a Complete Success Stalingrad Operation Clarification The Target-Bound Home bound turns are 8/7 (as stated on the Operation Card), not 9/8 (as stated in the rules). Daily aircraft availability vs. Operation aircraft availability. Each type of aircraft has two ratings. The number before the slash is the maximum number of that type which may be used each Day. The number after the slash is the number available throughout the Operation. Each time an aircraft is destroyed it is subtracted from the number available for the Operation. Damaged aircraft are not subtracted from the Operational limit. Using an aircraft on one Day, does not preclude its use on the following Day. At the beginning of each Day, a card is drawn to determine the Weather, and a card is drawn to determine the Air to Ground Mission. The Weather dictates the number of aircraft available to the Germans and the Soviets. Players then select their aircraft to participate in each mission. Aircraft selection is limited by two factors: Aircraft Availability and Weather. An aircraft used in one Mission may not be used in the other Mission during the same Day. Example: It is the fourth Day of the Operation. During the first three Days, the following aircraft have been destroyed: German Aircraft Losses Soviet Aircraft Losses Bf-109E 2 MiG-3 0 Bf-109F 2 IL-2 2 Fw-190A 1 P-39D 3 Ju-87B 1 P-40C 1 He-111H 2 Ju-52 2 Each player therefore has the following aircraft available for use throughout the remainder of the Operation: German Aircraft Remaining Soviet Aircraft Remaining Bf-109E 2 MiG-3 6 Bf-109F 0 IL-2 4 Fw-190A 1 P-39D 1 Ju-87B 3 P-40C 3 He-111H 4 Ju-52 4 On the fourth Day of the Operation a card is drawn for Weather and it is a Tight Turn (Blue-bordered). The Germans may use up to 8 of their Aircraft this turn and the Soviets may use up to 6 of their Aircraft. A card is then drawn for the Air to Ground Mission and it is a Barrel Roll, so the Germans are bombing a Soviet Supply Depot. The players then secretly select the aircraft they will send on the Air to Ground Mission and Air Lift Mission. The players make the following selections: German Player (Supply Depot) Soviet Player (Supply Depot) Aircraft/Quantity Aircraft/Quantity He-111H 1 MiG-3 2 Ju-87B 2 P-40C 1 Fw-190A 1 German Player (Air Transport) Soviet Player (Air Transport) Aircraft/Quantity Aircraft/Quantity Ju-52 3 P-40C 1 Bf-109E 1 P-39D 1 IL-2 1 Note that the aircraft allocated for the two missions do not exceed the number of aircraft remaining for each player, nor does it exceed the number of each type of aircraft which may be used each Day. Air to Ground, then Air Lift Missions are then resolved for the Day. During the Missions the following aircraft are Destroyed: German Player Soviet Player Aircraft/Destroyed Aircraft/Destroyed He-111H 1 MiG-3 1 Ju-87B 1 P-40C 1 Fw-190A 1 Ju-52 1 Bf-109E 1 The following aircraft are available for the remainder of the Operation: German Aircraft Remaining Soviet Aircraft Remaining Bf-109E 1 MiG-3 5 Bf-109F 0 IL-2 4 Fw-190A 0 P-39D 1 Ju-87B 2 P-40C 2 He-111H 3 Ju-52 3
