From: Pollancers007@cs.com Date: Mon, 18 Mar 2002 18:14:13 EST Subject: S & T errata To: rr.lindsay@verizon.net Robert, Here is the errata you were looking for. This is actually in the form of a Q & A. Q: The map shows 1 being subtracted from the Combat Strength of Marine units that fire at Japanese units making Banzai Attacks. The rules say 3 is subtracted from their combat strength. Which is correct? A: The rules are correct. Subtract 3 from the Combat Strength of a Marine unit firing at a Japanese unit making a Banzai Attack. Q: Part VI and Part VIII seem to contradict each other. Which is correct concerning the effects of ZOCs on Supply Lines? A: Part VIII is correct. Entry C of Part VI should state that "Supply Paths may not be traced into a hex in a Japanese ZOC unless that hex is occupied by a Marine unit." Entry D should state that a "Supply Path may be traced out of or into (but not through) a hex in a Japanese ZOC which is occupied by a Marine unit" By the way, there is another error in this short section, making it a triple threat. Entry B should state that "Marine units may not enter a Japanese Class 2 or Class 3 Defense Position that is in the ZOC of a Japanese unit. Q: How exactly does Supply affect combat? IV, D, 5 seems to indicate that it has some effect on the outcome of combat, but elsewhere it says that only Supplied units can attack. A: IV, D ,5 is incorrect. Only Supplied units can attack. There is no other Supply effect on combat. The reference to Part VI in this paragraph is also incorrect. The relevant part is Part VII. In this same paragraph, the eighth line should read "roll of 4 or less results in a Japanese Ambush." Q: Do Japanese units have to make Regular Fire Attacks against adjacent units only...or against units within 2 hexes as implied in the introduction to Part IX? A: Regular Fire Attacks are necessary whenever a Marine unit is next to a Japanese unit during the Japanese Combat Phase. Ignore the reference in the introduction to Japanese Combat. Q: The A/310 and B/2/145 counters have an "R" but the unit symbol contains the same shading as for "W" units. Which is correct...the letter or the shading? A: The letter is correct. The two units in question are Reserve Units (not West Deployment Area units). The shading is only meant to be a convenience for sorting.
