From: Ed Bauer <76121.411@CompuServe.COM> Subject: A5A Q&A/Errata Text File >>>>> ACROSS 5 APRILS: Q&A/ERRATA (unofficial) - 3 May 96 =================================================== BENTONVILLE ----------- Q: How many game turns are there in Bentonville? A look at the Game Turn Track and you'd say 6, yet the rules say 5. A: The track is correct, there are 6 turns. There is a misprint in the Exclusive Rules; it should say "at the end of Game Turn #6" (not #5). And in the Basic Rules, 3.0, Step #3, Game Turn Advancement Segment, "that Game Turn's" refers to the turn just finished, since Game Turn Advancement is the last thing you do in each turn. Q: The Victory Point Ratio charts for three of the games are confusing. Since VP Ratios are not rounded off, shouldn't the charts show ranges? A: They should. Bentonville's was especially confusing, since there are 6 ratio ranges (3 on each side of 1-to-1) and only 5 levels of victory. Note the corrected range for a Draw. (See also Gettysburg and Shiloh.)
