Advanced Squad Leader (2^nd edition) Rules Errata

Official rules errata are published in issues of the ASL Journal and on the MMP website. This list is a collection of all current rules errata that have been published to date (up to and including ASL Journal 6 and the 2005 printing of the 2^nd ed. rules). It also includes errata to counters from 1^st edition modules and all official scenario errata.

Please note that some of this errata is available as PDF documents that can be downloaded from the MMP website: either as complete replacement rules pages (that can be printed out to replace in entirety the corresponding rules pages from the rulebook) or designed to allow you to print it out on adhesive-backed paper, cut it out, and "stick" it in your rulebook over the areas in question. The fonts and font size have been duplicated in each instance to allow the cut out corrections to be placed on top of the initial errors. A description of the errata is listed first, followed by the corrected area intended for cutting out (i.e., the rule section as it should now read). Because some of the errata threw off the existing formatting in some areas, some additional material has been reformatted and provided to make sure that all the material fits in the proper space (e.g., B8.61-.63). Please take care to cut as close to the text as possible before applying these in your ASLRB.

A.                No.

G1.422         May a T-H Hero be set up HIP possessing a DC?

A.                No, because he cannot set up possessing a SW (see G1.423).

G1.423         May a hidden T-H Hero be designated as a mortar Spotter?

A.                No.

G1.423         May a T-H Hero detonate a Set DC?

A.                Only an A-T Set DC (G1.6121).

G1.632         Since B8.6 says a tunnel's "exit must be in a … brush or woods hex" and G1.632 says all tunnel rules apply in the normal manner, may a pillbox tunnel exit into a woods or brush hex if all woods are jungle and all brush is bamboo as per G.1?

A.                Yes — and may also exit into kunai (since it is treated as brush).

G2.2            What is the DRM of a CH vs an unarmored unit in a dense jungle hex?

A.                In Dense Jungle, the DRM is -2 for Direct Fire, -1 for Indirect Fire.

A.                From its designated Ocean hex (G14.62).

G11.85         May a BAZ45 fire WP into a cave?

A.                Yes, and G11.85 applies unchanged except that the BAZ uses its own TH table.

G12.13 & G12.671 Can a LC Inherent Crew be eliminated without eliminating the LC? Can it break?

A.                No to both; LC Inherent Crews only suffer (cumulative) Stun results; see G12.111.

G12.2          In line 5, add "(even at night)" after "entered".

G12.211       MIRED: Change rule number to 12.2111.

G12.43         What happens if a Passenger vehicle aboard a fully loaded LC is destroyed but its PRC survive, thus causing the LC's PP capacity to be exceeded?

A.                Nothing — the ex-PRC remain aboard the LC at no penalty.

G12.5          Since a LC cannot use Prep Fire unless it is Fast Aground, may it, if Beached, (un)load its Passenger(s) and use that same MP expenditure to conduct Bounding First Fire?

A.                Yes — in fact any vehicle may (un)load and fire in this manner unless otherwise prohibited.

G13.15         In line 3, change "14.251" to "14.261".

G13.445       Change "unit" in line 6 to "target".

G14.32         Are Infantry/Cavalry of the Assaulting/Evacuating side considered Fanatic in this manner while on a pier?

A.                Yes — and the second paragraph of G14.32 applies to them too.

G14.6 &G14.65      The colors of the NOBA counter illustrations are wrong. The actual counters are correct.

G17.41         Can a Napalm Blaze possibly Spread (B25.6) before it becomes — or even if it cannot become — a Terrain Blaze?

A.                No.

G17.41         Does a Napalm Blaze force units to exit the hex/Location as per B25.4?

A.                Yes.

G17.41         Is the NCA TEM of a pillbox added to the TH DR of a Napalm attack using the Infantry Target Type? Is it added to the Effects DR?

A.                Yes. No.

G18.62         Line 3 before “Dare-Death” add “armed, unpinned”.

CHAPTER H

The only Chapter H pages that have so far been updated for 2^nd Edition format are German, Russian, British, and Italian. Likewise, these nationalities have had their counters replaced in HOLLOW LEGIONS 2^nd Edition, BEYOND VALOR 2^nd Edition, and FOR KING AND COUNTRY. Additionally, there were a number of errors in the counters and Chapter H Notes for the original DOOMED BATTALIONS published by The Avalon Hill Game Company that MMP corrected when we reprinted DB. All these corrected 1^st Edition errata are listed at the end of this compilation.

p.H21          [German Vehicle Note 93] (Goliath): Does a Goliath on a road pay MP as a BU or CE AFV?

A.                BU.

p.H28H       Russian Vehicle Listing: Multi-Applicable Ordnance Note A applies to the 107mm mortar (Note 3) not to the 120mm mortar (Note 4). The individual Notes themselves correctly show the appropriate Multi-Applicable Ordnance Note.

p.H33          [US Vehicle Note 7] (M3 Medium Tank): Either the MA or SA can claim armor leader direction, but only the one that fires first in a phase (treating Defensive First and Final Fire as one phase) can actually use it. See British Vehicle Note 11.

p.H34          [US Vehicle Note 18] (M4 Tankdozer): "+2 for HH" is NA vs mortar fire.

p.H36           [US Vehicle Note 30] (M3(MMG) & M3(HMG) Halftracks): After "VCA." in the next-to-last line of the final paragraph, add "In addition to Removal as per D6.631, the AFV's Passenger(s) may Remove its secondary AAMG as (a) dm MMG [for the M3(MMG)] or (b) dm HMG [for the M3(HMG)]. The MA of both AFV may be Removed (but only as per D6.631) as a dm .50-cal HMG."

p.H36          [US Vehicle Notes 31, 32 & 33] (M4 & M4A1 & M21 MC Halftrack): The U.S. M4, M4A1 and M21 MC ht should have "Inf Crew" on the counter; see British Vehicle Note H.

p.H37          [US Vehicle Note 39] (M3A1 Scout Car): This vehicle can retain any unpossessed SW aboard it (D6.4), and its Passengers' FP is not subject to halving for Mounted Fire (D6.1). See British Vehicle Note 69.

p.H37           [US Vehicle Note 39] (M3A1 Scout Car): The MA is Removed as a dm .50-cal HMG and the other MG is removed as a dm MMG. See Chinese Vehicle Note 8.

p.H37           [US Vehicle Note 39] (M3A1 Scout Car): In line 2 of the first “dagger” section, change “3-3-6” to “3‑4‑6”.

p.H37           [US Vehicle Note 41] (T8 Reconnaissance Vehicle): The U.S. T8 "SC" should have 2FP BMG.

p.H38          [US Vehicle Note 46] (LVT(A)1): The illustration should show the LVT as CT, not OT. The actual counters are correct.

p.H39          [US Vehicle Notes 49, 50 & 51] (LVT2 & LVT(A)2 & LVT4): The fully-tracked-movement symbol is missing from the counter illustrations preceding each Note. The actual counters are correct.

p.H41          [US Multi-Applicable Note I]: Change "See" to "Each MG may be Removed as this given type (i.e., as a .50-cal. or MMG respectively). See also".

p.H41          [US Multi-Applicable Note L]: Change "subtract two (one per crew/HS) from its immediately subsequent unbogging DR" to "subtract two (one per crew/HS) from the colored dr of its immediately subsequent unbogging DR". See British Vehicle Note 84.

p.H41          [US Multi-Applicable Note V]: Can such a weapon (i.e., one that cannot fire in the VCA at the same level) attack in OVR?

A.                No.

p.H51          British Vehicle Listing: [British Vehicle Note 51] (Humber IV AC): The Vehicle Listing indicates that this vehicle has truck-type movement, but the counters indicate AC-type movement. The counters are correct.

Q5.1            How is a gully / irrigation ditch hex (e.g., PB R22) treated?

A.                Like a gully hex.

Q6.1            Hex C9 should have a square, white staircase symbol indicating it is a Tower.

Q8.2 Illustration    Under Squad E, add “A,” between “except” and “B.”

Q8.2            Can squad E see squad A?

A.                No. (See Errata.)

Q9.1            Does the German control all Strategic Locations at the start of CG1?

A.                Yes.

Q9.4 CG SSR 4a    Add “Treat the three German setup areas separately for purposes of E1.2 and A2.9.”

Q9.4 CG SSR 4b   During the RePh following the completion of the Night I scenario, do units north of hexrow CC have Freedom of Movement and thus may be shifted to new starting positions when setting up for the Night II scenario?

A.                Yes; see Q9.6058.

Q9.4 CG SSR 4c    Can German units in Benouville which remain under a "No Move" counter at the conclusion of CG Night II set up in Night III with Freedom of Movement in any hex of the same Friendly Setup Area? Or must they set up in the same hexes they were in at the conclusion of CG Date Night II?

A.                Yes. No. See Q9.6058.

Q9.4 CG SSR 17    If a HS remains in the Walking Wounded box at the end of the RePh, is it removed or does it remain there till the next RePh?

A.                It is removed.

Q9.51 CG1   There are three German setup areas in the initial scenario of PB CG1. Can 25% of the total German at-start force set up HIP in any of the areas?

A.                No; HIP, Dummies, and deployment should be calculated separately for each of the three setup areas. (See Errata for Q9.4 CGSSR4a.)

Q9.605-.58   Example Hex Y14 should be No Man’s Land.

Q9.6061       Example In line 10 change "8" to "10"; in line 11 change "+3" to "+1", delete "and" and after "Isolated" add ", and -2 for being adjacent to a Friendly Setup Area"; in line 13 change "+3" to "+5" and in line 14 before "and" add "+2 for being Encircled, +1 for moving through an Enemy setup area, -1 for being two hexes away from a Friendly Setup Area,". The section should now read "The squad rolls an Original 10 for its Escape DR; since it has a +1 Escape DRM ("+1 per HS-equivalent > one HS using the same Escape DR", +2 for being Isolated, and -2 for being adjacent to a Friendly Setup Area), the Final DR of 11 results in it being Replaced and then Casualty Reduced (one 2-3-7). The Isolated British squad in the Z15 First-Level Location may attempt to Escape and would have a +5 Escape DRM (+1 per HS-equivalent > one HS using the same Escape DR, +2 for being Encircled, +1 for moving through an Enemy Setup Area, -1 for being two hexes away from a Friendly Setup Area, and +2 for being Isolated)."

Q9.6152       The British receive a Sherman III(DD), not a Sherman V.

Q.               Is PTO Terrain (G.1) in effect?

A.                No.

Q.               When CG2.3 says that one or two Formations get assigned to each Assault Wave, does this mean one or two Formations from each BLT per Assault Wave, or one or two Formations total per Assault Wave?

A.                One or two Formations total per Assault Wave. Note that there is one Assault Wave per Entry Area per turn of entry.

Q.               Can Pillboxes set up in a beach hex?

A.                No, nor can trenches; add “in Soft Sand” in T3.2 line 1 after “(F7.4) are NA”.
         [Sticky errata provided in J#2]

Q.               Are there any Passage counters as mentioned in T6.4?

A.                No. Delete the word “counter” in lines 1 & 3 of T6.4.
         [Sticky errata provided in J#2]

Q.               Does an LVT wreck in a BRT shallow reef hex (level -1) create a hindrance between a hinterland (level 0) and another shallow reef (level -1) hex?

A.                Yes, per G13.21 all these LOS are treated as being at Level 0.

Q.               Can a Passage connect Locations that are 2 hexes apart?

A.                No, Passages only connect adjacent Locations.

Q.               In CG II the Japanese get 31 CAPP for Black Beach Two, but only 3 hexes of this beach are in play. I can not figure out how to legally place this many pillboxes with only 3 hexes of beach available.

A.                In the Japanese OB for CGII for Black Beach Two change “31⁵ CAPP” to “13⁵ CAPP”.
         [Sticky errata provided in J#2]

Q.               In CGIII the Marines get 40xLVT1(m) (and in CGII they get 20). But I don’t have any LVT1(m) counters.

A.                In CGII and CGIII, change “LVT1(m)” to “LVT2(m)”.
         [Sticky errata provided in J#2]

Q.               Why does the SSR 6 in CGIII refer to LVT(A)2s being equipped with wire-grapnels when Vehicle Note 59 (to which the SSR refers) is about the LVT2(m)?

A.                The SSR should refer to the LVT2(m).
         [Sticky errata provided in J#2]

Q.               The last sentence of CG2.2 (and its EXC, along with the reference to CG2.3) seems to say that all non-Rifle-company formations may be attached to (i.e., transfer to) other Formations, since Rifle Companies are the only Formation not excepted. Is this correct?

A.                No; in the last sentence of CG2.2, change the two occurrences of “Formation” to “BLT”.
         [Sticky errata provided in J#2]

Q.               Is the Scout-Sniper Platoon available (per CG2.2 Formation Table, footnote k) for use in the Initial scenario of CG I?

A.                No, it is not “available” at all in CGI (just as the 3/2 isn’t “available”). Its components are part of the at-start Marine forces.

Q.               CG I Japanese OB & T15.6141 — Gun Purchase Points; is the Max Per Beach doubled for the ‘Elements of 3rd SBF’?

A.                No.

Q.               CG I Japanese OB; only 6 MMG and 6 LMG total (in the Reserve Pool), is this correct?

A.                Correct.

Q.               When CG I ISSR2 says “Only the 1st Bn, 6th Marines need to enter in Assault Waves”, is “need to” superfluous?

A.                You don’t need to have those words; there are no other Formations to assign to Assault Waves.

Q.               When CG I ISSR4; says the Air Support arrives per E7.2 not per CG6, is it excepting all of CG6 or just the arrival mechanism?

A.                Just the arrival mechanism is excepted. The rest of CG6 still applies.

Q.               Per CG2.3; can > 1 Assault Wave enter on the same turn, in the same Entry Area?

A.                No, only one Assault Wave may enter per turn per Entry Area. In CG2.3, at the end of the next to last sentence after “any CG scenario” add “one per turn per Entry Area.
         [Sticky errata provided in J#2]

Q.               Per T8.1 & T15.6141 do the CG automatically begin with two 8-in. Guns? May the Japanese purchase an additional two 8-in. Guns?

A.                Yes to both.

Q.               So let me get this straight. All At-Start Formations (e.g., in CGIII, the 3/2, 2/2, & 2/8 BLTs) are assigned to Assault Waves prior to start but after Japanese setup. The base Formations (F1-F5) cannot switch between BLTs. At-Start auxiliary Formations (F6+) can switch between At-Start BLTs, but not between Reinforcement BLTs (i.e., Follow-On Battalion, Regimental Reserve, or Divisional Reserve) and vice versa. All Formations of a Reinforcement BLT are assigned to Assault Waves in the RePh preceding the CG Date in which the first element of that Reinforcement BLT will enter. No Reinforcement BLT may enter before all of the base At-Start Formations have entered. The Follow-On Battalion (but not the Regimental Reserve or Divisional Reserve) may enter before all of the At-Start auxiliary Formations have entered, but once the Follow-On Battalion has started to enter no more At-Start auxiliary Formations may enter until all of the Follow-On Battalion has entered. Since it is a Reinforcement BLT, the Follow-On Battalion does not have to be assigned to Assault Waves before start, but if you want to bring the Follow-On Battalion on before all of the At-Start auxiliary Formations enter, you are going to have to leave room for it on the Landing Record Table.

A.                Yes.

CHAPTER Z

Kakazu Ridge (Journal #2)

No errata.

Edson’s Ridge (Operation Watchtower)

ER7 & ER8  The BPV shown on the counters for Raider squads (14) and for Raider and Paramarine HS (6) supersede the values listed in G17.151 only for scenarios played on the Edson’s Ridge mapsheet.

Z1.41           The duller green hexes (EX: OO18) are at Level 0, the brighter green hexes (EX: OO17) are at level higher (Level 1), and the light brown hexes (EX: OO16) are at Level 2. The brighter green Level 1 hexes are considered “hill hexes” for the purpose of footnote b in the CG Victory Conditions.

Z1.42           In the Initial Scenario of the Campaign Game, the Americans get 8 Wire counters (four of which have their location predesignated) and enough foxholes to hold 8 squads (three foxholes of which have their location predesignated).
