In issue 2, we printed the Albuera scenario for Napoleon's Battles by Andy Finkel. Unfortunately several errors crept into the printing of the article, and as editor I throw my hands up and confess my sins. Many of the errors were down to yours truly, so my apologies to both Andy and any readers who have attempted the scenario. On the last point recent communications with readers have shown that you have tried it and enjoyed it. Even down to suggesting other modifications to the scenario. So here are the bits that you need to amend.

Page 25

1. 2nd Paragraph. The third sentence should read: "Save as provided in the special rules, use the basic Napoleon's Battles rules and any advanced and optional rules you would normally use."

2. The Map.

(a) The top of the Map is the East. The Albuera river runs from North East to the South.

(b) The grid co ordinates on the map were transposed. Reading from top to bottom, die letters should read D-C-B-A. The town of Albuera should be in C2, not B2

(c) The river crossing in C3 (amended) should be a ford and not a bridge.

3. Paragraph 10.1.4.1 Read "A" and "B" as "a" and "b" respectively.

A whole sentence was omitted. the third sentence should read "The Grenadiers treat Soult (only) as a division commander with a command radius of 10", and cannot derive command from any other officer. Latour Maubourg is a cavalry corps commander, subordinate to Soult. Cavalry division officers Bouvier d'Eclats and Bron derive command from Soult or Latour. Tle fatigue level..

Para 10.5.2. the penultimate sentence should read "The British/ Portuguese army has a Fatigue level of 5 and a morale level of 7. The Spanish Army has a Fatigue Level of 4 and a Morale Level of 5. Neither Army's Fatigue Level...
