1-01 In Their Quiet Fields, 2nd Edition

1. M/DM/2 should be M/DH/2 on the counter.

2. 1/3/2 and 2/3/2 are overstacked in the initial set up. Place 1/3/2 in any adjacent hex.

3. A number of Loss Charts were shipped which were improperly printed. If you do not have both Union and Confederate Loss Charts (printed on one big sheet in the 2nd Ed), let us know and we will replace your sheet with a correct one.

4. The Union artillery wen of the Antietam violates the 2nd Ed CWB rule regarding artillery supply tracing along roads. AH Union artillery units west of the Antietam can fire at full strength if they can trace a path to the Union Supply Train of any length along hexes the artillery could move through.

1-02 Thunder at the Crossroads

1. There are no Corps-level anti-initiative ratings for either side.

2. There is no Entry hex I. In all cases, the Union player gets points for Controlling Entry Hex H, instead.

3. The Confederate player gets 10 VP for entry Hex E (not F) and 5 VP for Entry Hex F (not G).

4. Each wrecked Union Cavalry Brigade is worth three (3) VP's, not one.

5. Current Strength Chart:

S/J/2 - strength on 3rd and 4th days is 14, not 10.
Stwl/J/2 - strength on 3rd & 4th days is 10, not 14.
B/Heth/3 - strength on 2nd, 3rd, & 4th days is 8, not 9.
A/Heth/3 - strength on 2nd & 3rd days is 9, on 4th day is 5.

6. Loss Chart corrections:

The Iron Brigade (1/1/1) is missing five strength circles. (note: this error is on the original, two-color loss charts only. Later loss charts, all in black, have corrected the error.)

The 2/l/3 should have an original strength of 22, not 12.

7. Union Arrival Schedule:

At 12 noon July 2, Gregg and 1/2/Cav arrive with 1xCh, not 3xCb.

8. Confederate Arrival Schedules: In order to correct a game imbalance, allow the Rebel army supply train to arrive at 4pm July 1, with Anderson's Division. This holds for both the Jackson Lives and historical orders of arrival.

9. Jackson Lives Scenario: Two new divisions am created in this scenario, Ew/2 and LD/2. Their wrecked levels are as follows:

Ew/2 0/0
LD/2 00000/0

1-03 August Fury

1. If for any reason a newly arriving unit finds its entry area blocked by enemy forcs, it may appear, one turn later, at the closest unblocked map edge hex, in any formation desired.

2. The CSA RW Supply arrives at 9:00 a.m., the 29th, at area A.

3. Remove the 3v Supply wagon from both Scenario 2 and 6 set ups. The wagon enters at 5:00 a.m. on the 29th with McDowell which is the first turn of both scenarios and does not begin on the map.

4. H/Cav should be listed as part of the option which includes Hill's Provisional Corps.

5. Hatch is allowed to stack with the artillery with his division as if it were one of his brigades in the set up. Ile must move to one of his brigades when play begins.

6. In scenario 5, the 3v Supply wagon sets up and is on the Arrival Schedule the set up is correct.

1-04 Barren Victory

1. There are two Entry Area F's on the map. The one on the North map edge should be a G. There are supposed to be two Entry Area G's.

2. The Ammo and Casualty tracks for both sides were set up from 1 to 10 instead of 0 to 9. Please use the 10 as the 0.

3. The use of Kershaw and McLaws is not explained. McLaws is an optional unit for use when the "rest of M/1" variant is used. Kershaw is the normal commander of M/1 When the regular reinforcements of M/1 come on the map he is their commander. When the option is used, ignore Kershaw and bring on McLaws instead.

4. The example of forest in the terrain key was omitted. What the forest symbol looks like should be obvious. The use of the words forest and woods in the Terrain notes of the exclusive rules was unfortunate--Please read woods as open.

5. The dice rolls given as examples in the rules for Lee and Johnston to bypass Wing Structure are incorrect. Johnston needs 11+, Lee needs 9+. The number listed for Bragg (12) is correct.

6. The two optional Reserve Corps Batteries-Rb(5), Rb(2)--should be omitted when setting up the game. Where the setup calls for "Reserve Corps all" it is too easy to forget that these two batteries are optional and should not be set up so be sure to keep, them with the optionals.

7. The reference to "5" in 4.2f should be to 4.2e.

8. When the Union Army panics, the center of he "zone of rout" is measured from Rosecrans himself, not his HQ.

1-05 Bloody Roads South

1. The following rules should he added to those already marked Qptional 1.2c and 3.1d. As a further option, if 3.1d is used, do not apply it to those Union leaders listed in 3.1g which are capable of issuing themselves attack orders.

2. The Off-Map mvt hex for the Rebs should be A2.01, not A 1.01

3. The Divisional Goal listed for 3/5 in Scenario 3 also applies in Scenarios 4 and 5.

4. 3.1a & 3.1b are not meant to imply that Grant cannot issue orders to division commanders. He can if hewants to, and this would be done with the same column shift on the Acceptance Table as if the receiver was a corps commander.

5. 3.1c: A sentence is incorrect as written. The sentence beginning: "Union corps no longer need to check for acceptance themselves..." should read "Union corps no longer need to check for Corps Attack Stoppage themselves..."

6. In Strategic Victory determination, Brock Crossing should be worth 2 VP's to either side, not just the Confederates, and the it should be 20 Tac VP's give 1 Strategic VP, not the 5 to 1 as listed.

7. Add to 1.2f: "Wilderness hexes are negated for straggler recovery purposes if they contain or are adjacent to trails, roads, railroads, or open terrain features."

1-06 Perryville

1. The Chaplin River is missing its center dark blue line. It is a river in game terms--not a stream or a third kind of feature.

2. Our laser printer lopped off the furthest right loss chart boxes for a few units in their C fire level. Each of the following brigades should have three boxes following the lonely "C" on the Loss Charts:

Confederate: I-M-Ky
Union: 34-10-1, 3-1-3, 36-11-3, and 37-11-3

1-07 Embrace an Angry Wind

1. On the Union Order of Arrivals on the back of the rule book, order number 4 (unlisted) is "Rejoin Corps."

2. As in Perryville, the Panic and Status rules are not used in this game.

3. On the Confederate Order of Arrival, the last two entries (10:00pm and 10:30pm) should both be listed as AM arrivals (10:00am and 10:30am respectively).

Questions and Answers

If the fire points fall between columns on the Fire Table (ie: 4 1/2 points) do you go up to the higher or down to the lower?

In all cases in the CWB where fractions are involved, round down.

If the army commander is stacked with a corps commander, can he roll for acceptance without delay?

Sure, in fact, that is a great way to command the army. Have the army commander run his own orders instead of using messengers. Its a bit faster and has a better chance of acceptance-as long as you coordinate his activities so that he is where he needs to be when he needs to be there.

Can a unit without orders (or orders to defend) move toward the enemy in an attempt to engage it or to counterattack in order to exploit a weakness?

To counterattack troops which are attacking it, yes. An attack launched against a docile enemy who happens to present a weakness of some manner would not be considered a "counterattack." Limited spoiling operations (skirmishes) and feints are allowed of units without orders, but players must be very astute to the bounds of these extremely limited operations. When in doubt, give me a call to determine the issue in a case by case manner.

In a situation where an extended line's parent is forced back due to a morale result, must the extended line reorient to make the arrow identify the parent and potentially present a flank target to the enemy?

The "arrow must point at the parent" rule causes many players problems. The rule is only there so that extended lines and their parents do not become lost in the shuffle. It was never intended as a restriction on facing. As long as both players are aware of which extended line belongs to which brigade and the two units are adjacent at the end of any given phase-the extended line may face any direction. It operates as any other unit (as long as the above is true) and as long as ownership is not in question-the arrow rule may be safely ignored. There is no requirement at all to adjust the facing of extended lines as the result of retreats.
