I did find quite some mistakes or things which were a bit unclear. Let me begin...

Pg. 33-35: I guess the name of the operation is Catchpole and not Flintlock (that was at Roi-Namur) - it is important, as at the beginning of the Grand Campaign it tells you to allocate reserves between the two operations.

Pg. 41: Wrong small scenario maps. Pictures for Hill 112 and Securing the Flank are there.

Pg. 83: Battle of Kock, Special Rules: "Nations 27 - Polish Dragoons"... I haven't realized that we had this many nations (in the game)...

So far I gave a go to The Charging Bull (will continue the campaign soon), a lot of new Pacific scenarios, Roi-Namur OL with my buddies, Fall Weiss (Minor Axis Victory - loved the cavalrymen!) and I'm preparing for giving the Americans hell on the Home Islands! I'm so addicted to this one!

The book isn't completely clear on whether Jungle Fighters can battle the turn they enter a jungle hex. On page 10, it says "they ignore Jungle movement and battle dice reductions." (Emphasis mine). From this I infer that they still cannot battle when moving into a jungle hex. But on page 51, it says "this unit ignores terrain Movement and Battle restrictions." (Emphasis mine again). This implies that they can battle when moving into a jungle hex. The second example is in the "what if" section, so maybe they meant it to be different, but it also refers to page 10, so I don't know. Can anyone provide clarification? (Also posted on BGG).

Jungle Fighting troops can ignore Jungle movement and battle dice reductions...that means they can do things when entering a Jungle hex that other units can't, like battle. I believe that basically they can ignore the effect of Jungle Hexes.

You'll find that Jungle Fighting Troops are only available in the battles through the "What if" sections, so those rules apply just as much as page 10.

So what you are saying Jesse is that to a JUNGLE FIGHTER, Jungle Terrain is treated as if it was an open Terrain Hex. Is this correct? Hence: No movement restriction. No battle restriction on entry No dice reduction when attacking a unit on a Jungle Hex. Just as if was an open Terrain hex.

I would have to look at my copy of the book and read through the Jungle Fighter rules carefully before saying for sure. Is that not the rules you understand for those troops?

EDIT: I'm at a bit of a disadvantage here because I'm at work and can't access my Player Aid or my copy of the Campaign Book. Can someone post the Rules we have for Jungle Fighters? Otherwise I'll just look them up when I get home and post my thoughts!
