E.5 An Aerial Range of "zero" is unchanged by doubling it. Read "PBF/TPBF is NA" as "PBF/TPBF (including TH Cases E and L) is NA". {p. E26}

E1.1 For the effects of NVR on LOS within a Factory, See O5.311. {p. E26}

E1.11 A dr result of "Overcast" on the NVR Table does not itself invoke Overcast weather (E3.5). {p. E26}

E1.16 A pillbox is also revealed if a non-Dummy enemy ground unit enters its hex. A roadblock is also revealed if it affects (as per B29.4) the Bypass movement of a non-Dummy enemy ground unit. {p. E26}

E1.16 What happens if a vehicle declares MP expenditure to enter a Location containing a HIP Fortification and:

a) The Vehicle is not allowed to enter the Location due to the Fortification (e.g. A-T Ditch)?

A. The Fortification is revealed, and the vehicle expends the declared MP in its current Location and must expend one extra MP (if available) to Stop.

b) Additional MP are required to enter (e.g. Wire)?

A. The Fortification is revealed and the vehicle expends, if available, the

Additional MP to enter. If the sufficient MP are not available, the vehicle must expend its remaining MP to Stop.

c) A Bog Check is required?

A. The Fortification is revealed and the Bog Check is taken. {J1}

E1.2 If a Scenario Defender's HIP/concealed MMC has SMC/SW recorded on a side record with it, and the unit moves with the recorded SMC/SW, are the SMC/SW still noted on a side record? If a Scenario Defender's HIP/concealed MMC loses concealment, are those recorded SMC/SW placed on board unconcealed?

A. Yes. Yes. {J1}

E1.2 SMC/SW whose setup Locations are recorded are otherwise treated as having used HIP, even though they are not restricted to being set up in Concealment Terrain. {p. E26}

E1.2 & E1.31 Units [EXC: non-entrenched vehicles (B27.52)], SW and Guns [EXC: non-Emplaced Guns] setting up hidden at night may do so in non-concealment terrain, and are then considered to be in Concealment Terrain for HIP-loss purposes. {p. E26}

E1.2 & E1.41 The HIP and Dummy allotments given in this rule are in addition to any purchases as per H1.6, and are based on the number of squad-equivalents (using squads and HS only [EXC: Japanese include crew MMC too]) in the Scenario Defender's onboard-setup OB. The number of Cloaking counters allotted by E1.411 is determined by the squad-equivalency of all MMC in the Scenario Attacker's at-start OB. In both cases, if the Scenario Attacker/Defender receives reinforcements he may determine their squad-equivalency and allot Dummy/Dummy-Cloaking counters to them in the same (i.e., his respectively applicable) manner. {p. E26}

E1.21 Making a Freedom-of-Movement dr is not a concealment-loss activity. A No Move counter cannot be removed due to being fired on by a friendly unit/FFE; however, a unit marked with a No Move counter may make a free LOS check to determine if it can see a Known enemy unit. {p. E26}

E1.21 Is making a Freedom of Movement dr a concealment-loss activity as per A12.141?

A. No. {96}

E1.21 If a side's two best leaders are, for instance, a 9-0 and an 8-1, which would be considered "best" for purposes of this rule?

A. For all such determinations, the "best" or "highest quality" leader is the one having the currently highest morale (ignoring all berserk leaders). If more than one leader has the same morale, the one among these which has the best leadership modifier counts as the "best" one. The one exception to all this is that Commissars are always considered superior to non-Commissar leaders (A25.221). {96}

E1.21 Do armed but unarmored vehicles gain Freedom of Movement as if they were AFV?

A. No. {96}

E1.31 & E1.2 SEE PRIOR ENTRY

E1.41 At night, if a side is designated by SSR as the Scenario Attacker but sets up all his forces onboard, does he still get to use Cloaking?

A. Yes. {97}

E1.41 & E1.2 SEE PRIOR ENTRY

E1.42 May a Cloaked SMC portage a 1 PP SW? May a Cloaked MMC portage two 2 PP dm 50mm mortars totaling 4 PP?

A. Yes. No; except as specified for 4 PP and 5 PP SW that cannot be dm, a unit cannot portage greater than its individual non-CX IPC while Cloaked. {J1}

E1.51 Bocage is not considered Concealment Terrain for purposes of this rule. {p. E26}

E1.53, A11.18, & A15.4 SEE PRIOR ENTRY

E1.53 A Straying unit/stack also becomes TI if the next Location it must enter is part of a HE/WP FFE Blast Area and/or it contains an ADJACENT Known minefield (F.7C), or if it would be subject to a Known minefield attack for exiting its present Location. {p. E26}

E1.531 A unit/stack that wishes to move within/ADJACENT-to connecting trenches/bunkers or along a TB is exempt from making a Movement DR in the same manner as if on/ADJACENT-to a road, path, etc. A unit/stack entering from offboard in the MPh need not make a Movement DR until it actually enters the board, at which time it becomes subject to all Straying rules (E1.53-.533). If the first AFV to move in a radioless AFV platoon Strays, the remainder of the platoon simply follows it using normal Platoon Movement. {p. E26}

E1.54 A DM broken unit/stack wishing to rout at night may do so only by using Low Crawl [EXC: an Inherent crew abandoning its vehicle; See E1.54]. If marked with a No Move counter it may still Low Crawl (if otherwise able to), but must take its No Move counter with it. A unit/stack routing (i.e., using Low Crawl) at night may do so ADJACENT to a Known enemy unit (provided it is not moving closer to that unit). {p. E26}

E1.55 Any FFE resolution permits the occurrence of Jitter Fire thereafter. {p. E26}

E1.552 Jitter Fire does not bestow Freedom of Movement. {p. E26}

E1.7 The Night LV DRM is never > +1, and can apply irrespective of the range to the target. If the target is behind a bocage hexside whose TEM it can claim, then the Night LV DRM does not apply. {p. E26}

E1.71 Does a MG laying a Bore Sighted Fire Lane at the start of the enemy MPh need to make a DR to check for malfunction/cowering/Sniper activation?

A. No. {J1}

E1.71 & ASOP (rev.) Where in the ASOP (rev.) should the Bore Sighted night Fire Lane placement occur?

A. After 3.13A (as if it were 3.14D). {J1}

E1.8 Does assembling or dismantling a SW create a Gunflash?

A. No. {J1}

E1.8 A concealed unit that creates a Gunflash retains its "?" if it is beyond the NVR of all Good Order enemy ground units (and is not treated as being within NVR; E1.101). A Prep/First/Final Fire counter placed solely due to Spotting (C9.3), or due to the use of a radio/phone (C1.6) or an Ammo Vehicle's B# benefit (E10.21), is not considered a Gunflash. {p. E26}

E1.91 The resolution of an enemy FFE also permits the firing of starshells/IR. The "friendly unit" mentioned in the first two conditions must fire (or Spot/Observe for the firing of) that initial starshell/IR; e.g., the fact that that "friendly unit" meets one of those conditions does not allow some other friendly unit (who does not meet either of those conditions) to fire the initial starshell/IR. {p. E26}

E1.921 Neither an Aerial unit nor one in a pillbox may fire a starshell. {p. E26}

E1.922 & E1.932 The three methods listed in E1.922 are not mutually exclusive; e.g., a unit wishing to fire a starshell/IR and able to use method 2 may use method 3 instead. {p. E26}

E1.931 An onboard mortar that fails its usage dr for firing an IR is treated as not yet having fired. Since OBA fires an IR in the same fashion as a SR, its FFE:1/2/C status is kept track of only for Battery Access purposes. {p. E26}

E1.932 A mortar that malfunctions while attempting to fire a starshell still creates a Gunflash. {p. E26}

E1.932 When a 5/8"mortar fires an Illuminating Round, must its initial placement hex be in the mortar's CA? May the CA be adjusted freely to allow placement in a hex outside its CA?

A. No, it need not. No, it may not. {97}

E1.932 & E1.922 SEE PRIOR ENTRY

E2.1 Are Personnel subject to Interrogation when they surrender (as opposed to captured)?

A. Yes. {96}

E2.41 Is Civilian Interrogation still possible if the ATTACKER'S Sniper counter has been eliminated?

A. Yes. The ATTACKER places the Sniper counter back onboard within six hexes of six enemy-occupied hexes, etc. (as per A14.2); make and resolve the Random Location DR, and then remove the Sniper counter. {96}

E3.1 & A6.7 SEE PRIOR ENTRY

E3.1 & A10.531 SEE PRIOR ENTRY

E3.311 Does Fog negate FFMO (like a LOS Hindrance such as Smoke-E3.311) or does it not negate FFMO (like a LV Hindrance-E3.1)?

A. Fog negates FFMO like Smoke. {J1}

E3.6 During mud, do unpaved roads still exist for Dash purposes?

A. Yes -- and for immunity-to-Straying, Street Fighting, and LOS purposes (E1.531) as well. {96}

E3.6 Unless not in play (e.g., as per G.1), unpaved roads still exist for Movement/Straying DR purposes (E1.53-.531). {p. E26}

E3.62 & E3.731 Mud/Deep-Snow TEM is always cumulative with other applicable TEM/Hindrance DRM. {p. E26}

E3.65 The presence of Height-Advantage/entrenchments does not alter the effects of Mud in Open Ground. {p. E26}

E3.65 B14.3 says orchards are not Open Ground, while B14.4 says orchard movement costs are the same as for Open Ground; so is an orchard considered Open ground for purposes of mud MF/MP expenditures?

A. No -- because E3.65 refers to "otherwise Open Ground hexes". Note, however, that mud effects would apply in an unpaved orchard road (and in Open Ground shellhole hexes as well). {96}

E3.731 & E3.62 SEE PRIOR ENTRY

E3.732 Note that a minefield's attack strength is also modified as per B28.3 or B28.51. {p. E26}

E3.8 Weather is also always "Clear" for units in a building viewing/firing-at a non-Bypassing target in their own Location. {p. E26}

E5.121 If there are two MMC on a three boat small raft when it is reduced, a HS (or crew) is eliminated from the Passengers. How is the eliminated Passenger chosen?

A. Randomly. {J1}

E5.2 & C10.3 SEE PRIOR ENTRY

E5.53 When a boat sinks in shallow water or when it is beached after being hit by ordnance (E5.52), is the TH DR used for the attack vs the Passengers? Are they attacked by the (halved) HE Equivalency of the hit on the boat?

A. Yes. Yes. {J1}

E7.2 This dr is made in the RPh Step 1.11A, and must be made until the Air Support arrives. {p. E26}

E7.31 Recall will occur at the end of the DFPh if the Original 12 Sighting TC DR was made during that phase. {p. E26}

E7.4 Aircraft cannot Interdict routing units. {p. E26}

E7.421 A bomb attack vs an AFV which results in a Near Miss (thus halving the Basic TK#) is also halved on the IFT for the Specific Collateral Attack vs the AFV's Vulnerable PRC. {p. E26}

E7.41 Is a MG attack by aircraft subject to Cowering?

A. No {96}

E7.43 The principles of D5.33 still apply to changes of BU/CE status made as per this rule. {p. E26}

E7.5 AA fire is not subject to leader direction (). {p. E26}

E7.51 Is Light AA fire subject to Cowering? May it be directed by a leader?

A. Yes; i.e., A7.9. Yes, but no leader DRM can apply (triangle). {96}

E7.6 Are Observation Places subject to Arrival (E7.2)?

A. No, they do not take counter form. {J1}

E7.61 If no Known enemy unit is in/adjacent to the hex that contains the AR of an Observation Plane, what DRM apply to its Sighting TC? In this situation, must an extra black chit be drawn for battery access?

A. DRM apply as if attempting to sight a hidden unit (regarding concealed units, note also the second sentence of C1.6.). Yes. {96}

E8.11 German gliders become available for DYO use in 5/40; U.S. and British gliders in 7/43. {p. E26}

E8.21, E8.3, E9.3 & E9.43 Neither Glider/Parachute counters nor their contents can cause enemy units to lose concealment. {p. E26}

E8.232 & E9.42 A glider/parachute always lands beneath any Wire counter in its hex. {p. E26}

E8.3, E8.21, E9.3, & E9.43 SEE PRIOR ENTRY

E8.3 How is ordnance fire conducted versus a landed glider?

A. As per E8.3, but also treating the glider as a Stopped truck (of "0" Target Size), and using the proper TK Table and Unarmored TK# (or IFT <star>Vehicle Line for a mortar). A DFPh ordnance attack versus a glider that landed in the preceding MPh would also use TH Case J. {96}

E8.3 How is CC versus a glider and its Passengers conducted?

A. As if it were an unarmored vehicle. {97}

E8.41 & E9.33 Can glider/parachute Personnel suffer ELR Replacement?

A. Yes (if multiple parachute Personnel fail a MC by their ELR, use Random Selection to find the one(s) that must be Replaced). {96}

E9.1 If the contents of a parachute are placed on the board before the APh (e.g. a failed E9.42 landing TC), are they still considered paratroops (e.g. for purposes of E9.5 or 9.6)?

A. Yes. {J1}

E9.11 Is a Parachute counter considered a Known enemy unit?

A. Only after it lands onboard (and is in the LOS of an enemy unit); however, its contents cannot be inspected by the opponent until the Parachute counter is removed from play. {96}

E9.12 May each Wing have a different Hex-grain alignment?

A. No -- all must run parallel to each other, using a Hex-grain alignment secretly recorded by the paradrop player prior to scenario setup. {96}

E9.2 Drift occurs after all ground units have completed their MPh. {p. E26}

E9.3, E8.21, E8.3, & E9.43 SEE PRIOR ENTRY

E9.33 & E8.41 SEE PRIOR ENTRY

E9.4 Each 1/2" parachute that lands in a building hex is instead moved directly downwind to the first non-building hex it encounters. {p. E26}

E9.42 If a parachute fails its Landing NTC, any broken units Inherent in it are still subject to the applicable effects of that NTC. If a parachute that contains one HS fails its Landing NTC, that HS is automatically moved one hex downwind. {p. E26}

E9.42 & E8.232 SEE PRIOR ENTRY

E9.43, E8.21, E8.3, & E9.3 SEE PRIOR ENTRY

E9.7 A 5-4-8 squad in its pre-armed 2-2-8 state has no Assault/Spraying Fire or smoke grenade capabilities. {p. E26}

E10.1-.11 In some cases the pertinent Chapter H Vehicle Note will specify the exact Ammo Vehicle to be used {p. E26}

E10.2 An armed vehicle receiving the B# benefits of an Ammo Vehicle still suffers Special Ammunition Depletion (C8.9) in the normal manner. {p. E26}

E11.21 Bog too can cause a Gap. {p. E26}

E11.52 A Column may use neither Human Wave nor Dash movement. {p. E26}

E11.53 A sniper attack vs a Column unit causes that Column to Disband. {p. E26}

F.10 May an Inherent crew place vehicular smoke grenades into an adjacent location? May it place WP grenades? If the crew fails a smoke-grenade placement attempt, may it still attempt to fire the vehicle's Smoke Dispenser in the same phase?

A. No to all--nor may the crew attempt to place smoke grenades in the same phase in which it has attempted (whether successfully or not) to fire its Smoke Dispenser. {96}

F8.6, B27.54, B28.41, & SSR RB6 SEE PRIOR ENTRY

F11.611 If an ATTACKER enters a DEFENDER's Location during the MPh across a hexside (or from a vertex) that lies within the latter's Sun Blindness Zone, the Sun Blindness DLV Hindrance does apply to each attack made during that MPh by the DEFENDER vs that ATTACKER. {96}
