Here is some additional Official SF Errata. This is in addition to previously published errata. If this errata conflicts with any Rules Court responses (or Internet rules postings), consider this errata to take precedence. RulesRule 7A4a: (clarification) "Current capacity" is indeed the actual effective rail capacity, as modified by Rail Marshalling Yard hits and any effects of the Strategic Air War. Rule 14H4: (change) Resolve Commando Raids immediately upon entry of the raiding Commando in the CD's hex. The Commando Raid is resolved before any CD (in the hex where the Commando is present) may fire. CD fire from adjacent hexes is resolved as normal. Rule 23G.- (addition) Modify the success table die roll by +2 for day air units checking for crash landing after flying night 'air missions. Rule 26C2c: (correction) Delete mention of Strategic Wings flying DAS; Strat Wings may not fly DAS since Allied DAS missions are flown during Axis player turns, when no Strat Wing could be available. Rule 26C2c: (addition) At the end of this rule, add: "Every 3 points of GS, or fraction thereof; calculated before any halving for terrain or weather, are considered to be one air unit for purposes of determining how many air units may assist a combat." Rule 33A: (change/clarification) TFs providing NGS are not required to be stacked with friendly units, for the purposes of Rules I I (Support) and/or 14B (Artillery). All friendly units involved in a combat involving friendly NGS are considered supported; any friendly non-artillery units involved in a combat may be counted towards the REs of non-artillery units required by 14B, regardless of whether or not they are stacked with the TF providing NGS. Rule 37B2. (clarification) While the attack strength of Port Fortifications is ignored for combat purposes, it is counted when calculating special replacements. [Note that the reprinted Second Front have an attack strength of 0.] Rule 37E. (correction) As an exception to the normal rules for placement of activated garrison forces, Valletta is the activation hex for the Malta garrison, even though it is a point city. Rule 38B3: (correction) Delete the last sentence of the first paragraph of this rule (that begins with "Allied-owned Italian provinces." Insert the following in its place: "Allied-owned Italian provinces do not generate production prior to Italian surrender. Following Italian surrender, Allied-owned Italian provinces are considered liberated and liberated Italian provinces may receive production. Liberated,, Italian provinces do not generate production (replacements, resource points and naval repair points) for twelve game turns following liberation." Rule 40D1: (correction) Replace the phrase "source of replacements" with "friendly-owned, unisolated regular source of supply". Rule 40D3: (correction) Replace the word "city" with the phrase "regular supply source"; replace the word "nation" with the word "force". The corrected rule should read: [a player may give foreign aid] "as long as he can trace a supply line from any friendlyowned, unisolated regular supply source of the donating force to any friendly-owned, unisolated regular supply source of the force receiving the foreign aid." Rule 41B2 & 3: (addition) For scenarios starting in Apr 144, the Allied player determines weather and sea conditions prior to his pre-game movement phase. The weather in Zone D on Mar Il 44 was Mud. Rule 42: (change) Replace "Jul 143" with the phrase: "at the beginning of the scenario". The intent is that only those losses incurred through play, and not those present at the start of a scenario, should count for VP calculations. Victory Chart. (correction) The listing of turns which complete a quarter, and are thus turns in which VPs are calculated, is in error. Replace the listing of "Oct III' with "Sep III,. Axis OBCombined German Tac OB, Apr 44 initial forces, should list I DFS 230 GT as available. Combined German Tac OB, Mar 144, should list -I DFS 230 GT, not +1. Combined RSI Tac OB, Apr 44 initial forces, should list el SM.79-3. Ignore the listing for the SM.79-2, that air unit is not available. (p 15) Northern Italy Alarm. The section labeled "Jul 1 43 through Jun 1144" should read "Jul 143 through Jun 144". (pp 15, 49) Ignore all mention of, and reference to, the section labeled "Invasion Reaction on the Greater Germany Strategic Air OB. When the Axis player receives the Luftwaffe Alarm conditional reinforcement, handle this as if the Axis player called up his Strat Air Force, except that it does not count against the number of times the Gr. Germany Strat Air Force may be called up in a year. Allied OBJan I 44, special naval conversion. (clarification): If the US 12 pt TF (USN) to be substituted for the 8 pt TF (USN) has hits of damage, mark the 8 pt TF (USN) with the same number of hits of damage as the 12 pt TF (USN) had suffered.
