Subject: Hell Before Night clarifications
From: rmt66@juno.com (ROBERT M TITRAN)

Some clarifications regarding XTR's Hell Before Night, answers courtesy
of Ted Raicer.

>>>
Q1. Rule 5.6 says that a unit is shattered "if the rout die roll result
is more than four greater than the unit's current morale rating."  However,
the box in the lower left corner of the expanded turn sequence states
that missing a roll by 1-3 is a rout, more than 4 is shattered - with no
mention of what happens when you miss the roll by 4.  Do we ignore the
box and just follow 5.6 or is there something we're missing?<<

A1. Follow 5.6.
 
Q2. The CRT on the map says a r#/R#  takes effect only if the opposing
unit's morale is greater than the affected unit's morale plus the #. 
However, rule 10.10 says "greater than or equal to" the affected unit's
morale.  That "or equal to" is a significant difference - which way do
we play it? 

A2. Greater than or equal to is correct.
 
Q3. Rule 5.11 says that ES is created during the admin phase of each
turn. The expanded turn sequence says it happens each couplet during the
movement phase - no mention of it happening in the admin phase.  Which
is correct?  Local opinion is that unless ES is created each couplet, the
CSA won't stand a chance.
 
A3. You can create extra strength through an officer any couplet. You can
expend ES during any couplet and the Admin Phase.
