S&T 63 Veracruz Game Errata from S&T 64 (updated by Don Johnson 6/13/08)

[9.33] (correction) The last line of the example should read "... Level
for the battle is +1". (Incorrect in both magazine and boxed versions) 

[12.31] (correction) No Assault may be conducted at less than a 1-2
ratio. (Correct in boxed version.) 

[12.65] (addition) Naval units may move around San Juan de Ulua despite
the fact that there is no sea hex present. (Text included in boxed
version.) 

[13.12] (correction) Reference to section should read 13.13, not 16.13.
(Correct in boxed version.) 

Additional errata and clarifications by Don Johnson 

[3.21] (clarification) The rank of a leader has no effect on the game,
but is a neat way to show that Santa Anna was the Mexican generalissimo.
In combat, all leader ratings in a stack are averaged, per rule 9.32. 

[4.0] (correction} Item B.2. US units land at a controlled port hex, not
a fort. 

[8.37] (correction) The effects of supply are taken into effect as part
of the process of determining the Battle Morale by subtracting 2 from
the die roll, see 11.54. 

[8.48] (clarification) For purposes of this rule, there are three types
of combat units, (1) an artillery unit is neither regular nor
volunteer,(2) a volunteer unit is any non-artillery combat unit that has
a state designation or a V in its name and (3) a regular unit is any
non-artillery combat unit that is not a volunteer unit. The intent of
the wording of this rule is that in any combat where both regular units
and volunteer units take part, it is required that all non-artillery
losses alternate between a regular unit and a volunteer unit with a
regular unit taking the first loss. This rule is to prevent all losses
being taken from volunteer units unless only volunteers (and artillery)
are used in a combat. 

[11.4} (typo) A Mexican supply hex is 0351, not 0531. 

[12.14] and [12.15] (correction) Ignore the mention of San Juan de Ulua
in these rules, as combat units cannot occupy it, see [12.61]. 

[12.31] (clarification} As stacks are hidden, use the overwhelming
attack procedure to see if the minimum assault odds of 1-2 are achieved
in an assault; that is, the assaulting units are revealed and the
defender declares whether minimum odds of 1-2 were achieved or not; if
not, the process stops right there, if they were achieved, the defender
reveals his units and must be asked to surrender, etc. An assault of
greater than 5-1 is treated as a 5-1. 

[12.34] (correction) A result of S (successful assault) also means all
the assaulting units must advance into the assaulted hex. There is never
any change to Basic National Morale as a result of using the Assault
Table. 

[12.66] (addition) The effect of San Juan de Ulua when Mexican owned is
that US units may not land reinforcements next to it. Note that this
means Veracruz cannot be used as a port while San Juan de Ulua is
Mexican owned. (See rule 19.21 and the fact that otherwise there is no
effect after turn 1, so why give it 15 fortification points. I asked the
designer, Rich Berg on Consimworld "It would be great if the designer
could confirm this, else there is no effect that I can find." and he
replied "It would be great if the designer could remember anything about
this game, other than it had rules for Il Vomito ...." RHB 

[15.2} (clarification) The division/army combat bonus is in effect if at
least 75% of the strength in a combat are in one or more
divisions/armies. 

[19.11] (clarification) Rule 19.11 contradicts the Mexican reinforcement
rules on the map. Rule 19.11 says that reinforcements that cannot enter
are delayed, while the map text says they are destroyed. Rule 19.11 is
correct. 

[19.2] (omission in boxed version) The US has 3 additional supply units
and 1 pack animal that land with the invasion force on turn 1. (See
magazine rules 11.21.) 

[19.31] (clarification) The Tenn MR unit (1-10) has a state designation
and is therefore a volunteer unit, but does not have a V on its counter.
The 2nd Dragoon unit (1-10) arrives after turn 14 and is therefore a
volunteer unit, but does not have a V on its counter. 

[19.32] (clarification) Patterson is also withdrawn on turn 13. (See
Withdrawal rules on map.) 

[21.0] (clarification) In addition, the Mexican player places the
fortress markers on the Fortress Siege Level Track as follows: San Juan
de Ulua: 15, Veracruz: 10, and Perote: 5; see [12.12] and the map. Both
the Mexican and USA National Morale Levels start at 0, see [10.11].
Place a turn marker on both turn tracks. Place the combat units, leaders
and armies/divisions on the appropriate turn.
