This comes from correspondence with John Schettler:

Q. What is the empty box in the North Sea above the At
Sea box? A. It was meant for a Tactical landing box
allowing the Allies to attack at the dike hex of
Westkapelle. Its use was more intended for the system
when combined with other games like Pas De calais,
etc. The GERMANS may also use rule 4.91 to move units
to this box with barges. If they implement this rule
they pay for it with CPs as a "Tactical Landing" on
the Strategic Orders chart. (Not an invasion). Note
that Exclusive rule 4.91 doubles the normal range for
tac landings from 6 hexes to 12 hexes when the Germans
are using Barges. 


Q. How many Tactical Sealift points can the Allies
spend each turn? A. As there are no Invasions in "Tide
of Fortune" (6.44) The Allied player has to use
Command points directly to pay for a Tactical
landing...as he does for all Strategic Operations.
There are no Tactical Sea lift points allocated, but
these landings can be accomplished under rule 6.45 by
Paying CPs and declaring a "Tactical Landing" or by
using Exclusive Rule 3.8 "Buffalos." Any time a
Buffalo counter is used to traverse any all sea hex,
the Allied player must declare a "Tactical Landing"
and pay for it using CPs as a Strategic Order. 


Q. What are the Beachead, Mulberry, E-Boats, U-Boats
and Reserve 5 counter used for? (the latter not used
in any scenario) A. These were generic counters
included in the mix as part of all the Westwar games.
But some will not be used as there are no sea
invasions in Tide of Fortune. (They are used in Pas De
Calais and To the Far Shore). 


Q. Why is there a separate US/British Support Track
and no separate US/British markers? A. British and US
support are tracked separately. They were supposed to
put in a little British flag. Just use any spare
counter. 


Q. Can the Allies use Ferries [4.9]? A. NO...This is
an Exclusive German Army Rule. (But the Allies have
the Tac Landing abilities described above) 


Q. [6.45] May units making Tactical Landing use
coastal hexes to move through? If yes, Mines [4.7] are
not very useful since they can only be placed in
All-sea hexes (or maybe they can also be placed in
Coastal hexes). A. Only the initial hex of origin and
the final hex of landing may be coastal hexes in a Tac
Landing operation. All other hexes of the route must
be traced through all sea hexes. (So the Allies cannot
creep along the coastline to bypass German mines) 


Q. [9.52] Must artillery be adjacent or simply in
range of a target to undertake Special Demolition? A.
The Artillery must be adjacent. (The activity is
actually carried out by engineers, not gunfire)
