From S&T#162

RED SUN/RED STAR (S&T 158)

CHARTS

Morale Option Table: see below under rule 6.62.

RULES

5.62 (change) The term "unit ID" should read "Formation ID" throughout
the rule.

6.61 (change) The reference to "Morale Result number" should read "Step
Loss number."

Q: How do you figure the number and type of terrain shifts for combat?
(6.52)

A: Select the one type of terrain located along a hexside of the target
hex that causes the FEWEST shifts in the target's favor. Then add to
that shifts caused by all other terrain features in the defender's hex.
Example: a unit in hex 4235 firing on hex 4314 gets only one shift (not
two) for the hexside 4235/4314. Since both "up-slope" and "stream" cause
one shift, the firing player chooses either as the one with the "fewest"
shifts.

Q: Can motorized units conduct combat across an unbridged Halha River
hexside? (6.52)

A: Yes, since bullets and shells can traverse rivers, However, no units
can advance after combat across an unbridged river hexside.

Q: How should Armor Replacements be kept track of? (6.61)

A: Each side uses An "Armor Repl" marker (included in S&T 162 counter
sheet) to keep track of Armor Replacement points on the friendly Record
Track located on the map. When the marker must be moved past the "9"
space, flip it to its "+10" side and place it in the appropriate space.
Example: if the Soviet marker is in the '8' space and must add 3 more
Armor Replacement points, flip the marker over to its "+10" side and
place it in the "1" space to record 11 points available.

Q: The Morale Check procedure described in the rules and the Morale
Option Table do not always agree. Which is correct? (6.62)

A: If no Morale Check occurs, follow the instructions on the Morale
Option Table under "No Morale Check Made." Under the 'Fail Morale Check"
section of the rules, delete the reference to placing a "2" marker on
surviving defenders. On the "Attacking Player" row under the "No Morale
Check Made" column of the table, change the reference from "target unit"
to "ALL target units." Otherwise, the Morale Option Table is correct,
and should be followed if a conflict arises between the rules and the
table.

Q: During Night combat, does a Japanese unit with a "2" disruption
marker receive another "2" marker at the end of combat? (6.93)

A: No. A unit with a "1" marker exchanges it for a "2" marker. No unit
can ever have more than one "2" marker.

Q: How exactly are Japanese reserves released? (7.64)

A: Regardless of the date, always keep track of how marry Soviet stacks,
or individual units alone in a hex, have moved thus far during the
Soviet player turn. The number of moving Soviet units and stacks
determines the proper die roll range on the Japanese Reserve Release
table. Only ONE Japanese reserve unit may check for release each time a
Soviet unit or stack completes its movement. During a July turn, once
ANY Japanese reserve unit is released, all reserve units that have not
yet moved (including those that failed Release Table cheeks earlier in
the turn) may move freely per rule 7.63.

Q: Can destroyed bridges be rebuilt? (11.1)

A: No.

Q: Are the "Examples of Play" entirely correct? (p. 19-20)

A: Under "Hasty Attack," the lone attacking Japanese tank unit (5-16)
performs a firefight with 10 factors (not 5) because it is doubled
against infantry. The attack is shifted 1 column right for proficiency
to "12' on the CRT. The remainder of the example is correct.
