I noted that the notes for Engebi Landings on DOW (Sc # 7) differ from those printed on Campaign Book 2. In the Campaign Book 2: The building next to the airfield is a Permanent Medal Objective (Turn Start) for the Allied player. DOW site: The building next to the airfield is a Permanent Medal Objective (Turn Start) for the Allied player. If the village is not captured, the Axis player records 1 Campaign Objective (campaign only). As you can see there is an additional sentence added which affects campaign play.

I also found they differ in:

CAPTURE of PARRY

The Axis player records 1 Campaign Objective for each Beach hex that is not captured (campaign only).

IWO JIMA LANDINGS

The player holding a majority of these hexes at the end of the battle records 1 Campaign Objective (campaign only).

COUNTER-OFFENSIVE ON OKINAWA

If the Axis player does not manage to exit any units, the Allied player records 1 Campaign Objective (campaign only).

Hmmm, those do make a bit of a difference when playing campaigns.

As the Online Briefings were put up after CB 2 came out, I wonder if they forgot to add those key sentences to the CB 2 book.

I just wish someone from DOW had posted to alert us of the additions.

Official word has been sent (to my message to them about this):

These campaign objectives are from an older version and should not be taken into account. The Axis player cannot score campaign objectives in this campaign.

Re:Campaign Book #2 Errata	Thu, 29 November 2012 11:46

For the Marianas and Palau Islands Campaign (pg 36): Japanese Counter-Attack: The Marine Victory text for that scenario: "If one of your units captures the Labor Camp objective, the unit is healed up to full strength immediately after occupying the hex." It appears this special rule applies while playing the current scenario as opposed to applying it to the next scenario only after winning the scenario just playd. Also, for Landings at Peleliu: The Marine Victory text for that scenario: "If you exit any units, you may advance any one unit up to two hexes in the Umurbogol Pocket scenario." The only problem there is there is no exit hex / hexes in Landings at Peleliu. So the Marines would never be able to use that Special Victory Rule for the next scenario.

Hello,

according to the new FAQ 2.0, on page 1 it's stated:

FAQ 2.0 page 1

Q. Can On the Move orders be used for the Paradrop action?
A. Yes

So I do think the Errata Document should be ammended to reflect this new policy. Specifically, the notes given for the Breakthrough Normandy campaign.

Hello,

Scenario 42 - Take Falaise from the "To Falaise" campaign.

Conditions of Victory

The 3 hexes of Falaise form a Temporary Majority Medal Objective worth 1 medal for whoever holds a majority of them. The Axis player controls the city at game start and thus has 1-medal headstart.

The Axis Medal is not present in any of the 3 aforementioned hexes, though I don't know whether this is intended or not. So not sure if it's a misprint.

Cheers

Re:Campaign Book #2 Errata	Wed, 23 October 2013 22:40

and from another thread and poster: In the Home Island campaigns I (marines) rolled leathernecks for what if roll. The description says I get to "promote" 2 infantry units in games that INVOLVE marines. In the Medeera Pocket scenario marine command rules are not in effect however there are marine units present on the board. I know this sounds very technical but from what I interpret from the description is that if there's at least one marine unit there I can use the leathernecks, and that it would specify that marine rules had to be in effect in the description in order to not have the leathernecks. I would just like to know if im correct in thinking that I can place the leathernecks in said scenario? [Report message to a moderator]

Re:Campaign Book #2 Errata	Sun, 22 December 2013 18:42

Hi all. This is my first post and I hope I'm actually posting in the right place. Please be patient and forgive possible mistakes! First of all I want to tank Deemao for the errata document. I'm playing the campaigns in CB#2 in these days and that document turned out to be extremely useful. I have a couple of questions about the campaign "Dropped in the Contentin" As far as I understand, what is written at the beginning of the third item of "Part 4: Break Through Normandy" relative to the scenario at p.92 "Drop in the night: 101st", namely The single American unit already on the map isn't mistake. It is from the earlier drop and it is as well specialized unit. does also apply to the scenario at p. 90 "Drop in the night :82nd". In fact I was able to find it stated previously in this thread. Am I right? I had more troubles with the second sentence The Allied player cannot use reserved units, only paratroopers, bacause he does not have a base line I was not to able to find this piece of information in the forum. Is this an official ruling? And if it applies also to the scenario at p.90, as it would make sense to me, does it mean that in the campaign "Dropped on the Contentin" the two Allied reserve tokens can be used only in the last scenario? Thanks [Report message to a moderator]

Regarding the question, there is no official ruling but it seems that other scenarios in the past have applied the same policy.

If I can recall correctly, in this scenario Allies can't go beyond the line formed by the EXIT markers. Since the Reserve Units only can come through your baseline, you can't use them in this specific scenario.

Hope this helps.

Yes, that is not a mistake either. It represents an already paradropped, deployed unit.

Re:Campaign Book #2 Errata	Sun, 12 January 2014 09:19

Something new came up yesterday. I'm currently playing Operation Toenails, a SFTF campaign by jdrommel. I don't have the Campaign Book #1 or #2 so am guessing that similar situations could come up here. As a reward for winning a scenario, I was allowed to place 2 minefields and 2 wire at the start of the next scenario. Q1: Do you place bonuses and reinforcements after you get your cards (as you do the Paradrop for Sainte Mere Eglise)? I chose to place my minefields on my opponent's medal sites. I'm guessing that there might be an official scenario and campaign where this could occur. In the past when testing this situation in M'44 Online, the program awards you the medal first then rolls for the minefield (or frozen river). So if you went for your final medal there, you'd get it before risking damage. I didn't think it would matter unless it was his final medal. As it turned out Taking Ground would give him his final medal! It was academic since it was a 0 minefield, but if it had been a 3 or 4 then I could have won. Q2: Do you roll for minefield (or frozen river) before gaining a temporary medal on the same space? [Updated on: Sun, 12 January 2014 09:19] [Report message to a moderator]

Sorry if this question may be a bit out of place now that all the rage is the D-Day landings (which I'm still waiting for), but I'd like to know if we played this correctly. In Break Through Normandy, Drop in the Night: 101st scenario, the Allied player paradrops units "before his first turn".. So victory event rolls only apply to existing Allied units, correct? Another such instance is The Rescue of Mussolini scenario: in this particular case, Axis player's victory event rolls are useless, as there are no Allied units to be set-up before starting the battle - correct?

Another question came up today related to the Cut of the Cotentin scenario. Quote from the scenario briefing: "The Allied player must hold at least one of these objectives to win the game." What happens if the Allied player eliminates all Axis units and then plays alone (so to speak: the Axis has no more units to order, but other cards - Bombard, Air Power - might still score medals) so as to to get all three objectives? Of course, the final score would still be 10-to-something, but it would be a weird endgame indeed, since I found no mention of a victory condition like: "If the Allied player holds no objectives at the end of the game, then Axis wins." Or does the errata for The Hedgerow Breach applies: "The Allied player must have 10 medals including one medal token"? [Updated on: Mon, 25 August 2014 17:38] [Report message to a moderator]

I read that this way: if you eliminate all the Axis forces you haven't won until you also take one of the objectives. You can still move around so you can still take one of the objectives. The moment you take one of the objectives you will have met the victory conditions and the game ends, so it is impossible to take the other two.

Victory Event rolls occur after the battle is setup but before any other activity.

The Paradrop occur before the first US turn. This is just a way to have random Allied setups for their starting forces.

I would argue that the battle is not setup until after the para drop and that any VE rolls can be applied to the dropped units.

That is my 2 cents.....

I agree. Generally when a rule is ambiguous, just doing what makes the most sense is the best course of action. In this case, since the VE roll potentially affects Allied troops, they must be in place first. [Report message to a moderator]

I disagree. (Edit: well I agree with Stevens, who posted at the same time) I believe that is exactly why the allies begin with one unit on the board in Break Through Normandy, Drop in the Night: 101st scenario. To apply the VE rolls. As for the mussolini scenario: indeed, only the star VE roll has an effect. [Updated on: Mon, 01 September 2014 19:29] [Report message to a moderator]

This is how I have played it. Please see the Order of Operations Reference Sheet.

So what we have:

VE rolls - rolled AFTER a battle is SET UP but prior to any other activity ...

So VE rolls would never affect Reserve Units.

Paradrop - BEFORE the Allied player's first turn...

One could argue that the Allied setup is NOT complete until this is done. As it is done before the first US turn (not during it) adds weight to that.

Reserve Rolls - AFTER a scenario is setup ......

I still believe that the scenario is not setup until after the Paras drop. The lone para on the map represents the pathfinders which dropped earlier.

At any rate, this is FAQ worthy, me thinks.

My reading of the rules (and the way we played it) is the same as Stevens': it's the logical consequence of reading the rules ad litteram. However, an official answer would still be most welcome.

They don't: they're applied prior to Reserve Rolls (clearly specified in the rules).

We're about to finish the second Campaign Book and once it's done, I'll post some stats, notes, ideas and possibly other questions about both books. Hopefully, it'll still be of interest, however marginally, to the forum.

Nice catch Twisted Evil

. It isn't specified anywhere, but whoever goes first as per the scenario notes rolls first (victory/reserves/specific pre-battle rules) and takes/places reserves, then the opponent follows. At least that's how we played it throughout both campaign books.
