Second Front

Errata 6 June 1994

by John A. Astell and Rick Gayler


Maps

Map16A:
Ignore any minor spill-over of city hexes. For example, hex 0605 is a clear terrain hex.
Add a canal on the 0928/0927 and 0827/0927 hexsides.
Add escarpment on both sides of the river along the 4005/4105 and 4004/4105 hexsides.
Add a railroad crossing the 4302/4303 hexside (connecting the two halves of Wien).
The name of the river next to Steyr (3906) is the Enns.

Map 17A:
Change hex 0109 to woods (from clear terrain).
Change the sea portion of hexes 1013 and 1014 to restricted waters.

Map 26.
Add an internal (gray) border along the 0128/0129, 0128/0228, 0228/0227, and 0228/0328 hexsides (the boundary between Toscana and Liguria).
Clarification: The Lipari Islands in hex 3624 are rough terrain.

Map 27.
Weather line D turns northwest in hex 0430 (instead of 0431) and runs through hexes 0331-0231-0132 (instead of 0332-0232-0133).
The Zaroud wadi system is incorrectly shown as salt desert terrain. Only the 3912/3913 hexside (Kelbia Sebkha) is salt desert. All hexsides are wadi beginning with 3913/4012 and including all hexsides of the system west of this point.

Counters

US Army:
The 1-8 Mortar II 96 has a 2-point position AA mistakenly printed on its back. Ignore this.
A 1-point position AA counter has no 2-point position AA on its back. It should.

US Army Air Force.
The B-25G and one B-25J are mistakenly printed as "-25G" and "-25J' on their inoperative sides. Add a "130 before each.

British Army.
The 4-10 Mech X divisional breakdown should have "B" on both its supported and unsupported sides (it mistakenly has "A" on its supported side).

Royal Air Force:
A P-51D5, a Typhoon 1B, and the Whirl air units all lack back printing. Each should have its model and "Inop." on the back.
The RAF ETO 3rd and 4th Strategic Wings mistakenly have "Typhn 1B Inop." or "Whirl Inop.' printed on their backs. Ignore these.

German Army.
The counters for the 1 -10 mot Rkt Art II Lehr and 4-6-6 Inf XX 230 are inadvertently missing from the counter mix. Players will have to make their own counters for these units.
The 2x 3-4-6* Mtn Trng XX 11077, 11082 counters are mistakenly shown as divisions. They are brigades: 3-4-6* Mtn Trng X.
The 17x 2-3-4* Reserve XX Grp OFK/225, OFK/226, OFK/281, OFK/365, OFK/372, OFK/379, OFK/395, OFK/397, OFK/398, OFK/520, OFK/570, OFK/589, OFK/590, OFK/603, OFK/670, OFK/672, OFK/894 are mistakenly shown as Reserve divisional groupings. They are Static divisional groupings: 2-3-4* Stc XX Grp.
The 1-2-10 PzG II Lehr shows no self-supported indicator. It should be self-supported: 1-2-10* PzG II Lehr.

Luftwaffe:
The 3x 0-1-5 Inf II 501, 502, 503 (LW) are all mistakenly shown as battalions. They are regiments: 0-1-5 Inf III (LW).

OKW.
The 2-3-4* Static XX Grp Altmrk (OKW) has a mistaken unit identification. It should be Altrch.

Waffen-SS.
The 0-1-4 Static II ASA (SS) has a mistaken unit identification. It should be AS.

RSI Italian:
The 1-8 Mtn III Tagl (CCNN) is mistakenly printed in regular Italian colors. It should be in CCNN colors.

Markers:
The (-4 PzG) markers are mistakenly missing from the counter mix. Players will have to make their own; there should be 7 of these markers.

Charts

Optional AA Fire Table:
Note that the -1 AA effectiveness modifier to the ADS of code S type HB units when flying GS and DAS missions is superfluous, since no type HB air unit may fly GS or DAS missions.

Axis OB Booklet

Apr I 44 Initial Forces: "Capital of Germany: Berlin (16A:1902+)' should be "Capital of Germany: Berlin hex 16A:1902."

RSI Italian Conditional Reinforcements: Occupation Turn 2: NDisband all former Axis Italian forces" should read "Disband all former Axis Italian units." Note that ground units are disbanded. (By this time, no former Axis Italian air units will be in play, and former Axis Italian naval units will have become Kriegsmarine naval units.)

On page 11, left column, the deployment zone for Central Italy should be: Place in Italy, south of hex row 26. 1000 and on or north of hex row 26.1600.

May I 45 Reinforcements, Withdraw to East: The entry "1x 2-3-6* Inf XX (5-7-6) 25 Hu (SS)" should be "1x 2-3-6* Inf Cadre (5-7-6) 25 Hu (SS)."

Combined Tac Air OB, Luftwaffe: The initial forces for the DFS 230 for Apr should be 1, and not 3. Also, the Mar 44 entry on the DFS 230 should be -1, and not 1.

Allied OB Booklet

Any reference to "United Kingdom" means "Britain."

Ignore references to a Malta holding box. There is no such box; simply place the units on Malta on the map. (Note: There is a Malta garrison box, and units in garrison on Malta are placed on the box.)

Italian Conditional Reinforcements: Occupation Turn 5. "Disband all former Axis Italian forces" should read "Disband all former Axis Italian units.0 Note that ground units are disbanded, but not naval units. (No former Axis Italian air units will be in play by this time.)

Jul I 44, MTO, American: Add the following units to the Southern France Invasion Forces:

    1x 9-8 Inf XX 45
    1x 2-1-10 Tank II 753
    1x 1-10 Mech Cav II 117
    1x 1-2-10 mot AT II 601

The American 1061st Port Construction Group (1-3-6 Port Cons X 1061) is listed incorrectly. Delete it from the Apr I 44 MTO arrivals and the Jul I 44 Southern France Invasion Forces. Add it to the Aug I 44 ETO arrivals.

Notice-Corrected Counters

We will be producing a correction countersheet to fix the problems listed in this errata in the near future. An announcement will be made at that time as to how to obtain it.
