Q-- Case [6.36] in the Solomons Campaign rules folder specifies that the
American APD unit appears at Espiritu Santo on Game-Turn #2, but the
Starting Forces and Reinforcements Chart [21.0] specifies that the APD
unit is deployed at Espiritu Santo at the start of the game. Which Is
correct?

A-- The American APD unit should arrive at Espiritu Santo on Game-Turn
#2

Q-- Apart from the six supply points which the Americans have loaded on
their Transports which begin the game In hex M, no mention is made of
how either the Americans or the Japanese can place additional supply
points on Guadalcanal. Please explain.

A-- The Japanese have an unlimited number of supply points at Rabaul
while the Americans have an unlimited number of supply points at
Espiritu Santo These supply points are transported to Guadalcanal in
accordance with Case [9 4]

Q-- Case [5.16] seems unclear Are these restrictions meant to concern
Japanese naval units at Rabaul?

A-- Yes. All other units (naval) must be deployed at Truk. Note. The
deployment limitations for Japanese naval units at Rabaul should be
enforced throughout the game, not just for initial deployment purposes.

Q-- Case [10.5] specifies that beginning with Game Turn # 10 the
Japanese air reconnaissance zone is extended to include hex H. This is
contradicted in Case [19.1] the first sentence of which specifies that
their air reconnaissance zone extends over hex H from the beginning of
the game. This case then contradicts itself,- the last sentence
mentioning that beginning with Game-Turn # 10 hex H is included in the
air reconnaissance zone. When is hex H included in the Japanese air
reconnaissance zone?

A-- Beginning with Game-Turn # 10 and thereafter

Q- Has something been omitted from the Japanese submarine attack
procedure described in Case [13.2]?

A- Yes (we're glad you asked that question) The case is correct as
printed except that before the submarine attack can be executed the
Japanese Player must roll a die If, and only if, a die roll of "six"
occurs can the submarine attack be executed in the manner described in
this case

Q- How does a ''Crippled" result affect aircraft on Carrier units and
ground strength or supply points on crippled Transport units?

A- All aircraft are eliminated when the carrier carrying them is
crippled, unless the crippled result is obtained by a submarine attack
in which case the aircraft are left intact Any transport which becomes
crippled immediately loses whatever it was transporting. The strength or
supply points being transported are considered eliminated.
