COMBAT RESULTS TABLEEXPLANATION OF DISRUPTED RESULT(Omission): If a disrupted unit is disruptedagain, the two disruptions apply against theunit concurrently. Units which enter a hexoccupied by a disrupted unit become disruptedthemselves.GAME SCALE (Omission): Each hex represents100 meters from side to side. EachGame-Turn represents the passage of tenminutes of "real time."NormandyAs a result of post-publication playtesting, thefollowing errata has been assembled to clarifyand correct various errors or ambiguities in theoriginal game components.The errata for Normandy follows the sequenceof the Normandy rules folder.GAME EQUIPMENT (Omission): A completegame of Normandy should include thefollowing: one set of die-cut units, onemapsheet, one rules folder, one Allied Order ofBattle sheet, two Combat Resolution Tables,and one die.UNlT TYPE SYMBOLS (Correction): Thereare no Armored Infantry units in the Normandycounter-mix. The counter-mix does includeeight Allied Naval Gunfire Support Missioncounters and a number of Entrenched markersfor both the Germans and the Allies. The topnumber on the Naval Gunfire units is theattack-support strength. The middle number isthe defense-support strength. The bottomnumber is the range (in hexes) over which theNaval Gunfire units can support land combats(see naval Gunfire Support rules).MOVEMENT(C) (Correction): Units must be movedindividually, never in stacks.(L)(Clarification): It should be understood thatunits out of supply must move toward aFriendly supply source (area).(N) (Clarification): Armor units may alwaysmove one hex (even if they do not possesssufficient Movement Points to enter a givenhex) only if they are in supply. UnsuppliedArmored units must pay the normal cost toenter each hex. Unsupplied Armored units maynot enter a hex if they do not have sufficientMovement Points to pay the appropriate"entry cost."COMBAT(J)(Correction): Armor units may not attack, ifstacked solely with units which have a"defensive" only Combat Strength (see UnitType Symbols).NAVAL GUNFIRE SUPPORT(F) (Clarification): In effect, only one NavalGunfire Mission may support an attack ordefense of a single occupied hex. When asingle hex-group of Allied units is adjacent toand attacking more than one German occupiedhex, there is nothing to prevent the AlliedPlayer from allocating a Naval attack-supportmission against each German occupied hexexcept range considerations.EXAMPLE (Correction): In this example, if theAllied Player employs a Medium Naval GunfireMission his Attack Strength would be raised to51. If a Heavy Naval Gunfire Mission is chosenthe Allied Attack Strength would be raisedto 36.ZONES OF CONTROL(A) (Correction): There is an error in themovement example given in this Case.Assuming the Allied unit has a MovementAllowance of six or greater, the correctmovement expenditures are as follows: twoMovement Points to leave an Enemy controlledhex, three additional Movement Pointsto enter an Enemy controlled hex, and threeMovement Points to enter a Bocage hex (seeTerrain Effects Chart Errata also).ENTRENCHMENTGENERAL RULE (Clarification): An Entrenchedmarker should be placed on top ofentrenched units. Units may entrench in anyterrain except in fortification hexes. Entrenchedunits may disentrench and attackduring a Friendly Combat Phase.TERRAIN EFFECTS CHART (Clarification)The effects of terrain on combat are notcumulative, i.e., defending units benefit fromthe single most advantageous terrain effect.The combat terrain effect for River hexsides isonly applied when all attacking units areattacking across a River hexside. The forthexes # QQ 29 and RR 31 are also to betreated as Bocage hexes, i.e., armor cannotattack units in these hexes, and Bocage hexmovement costs are applicable in these hexes.Note: The cost to leave an Enemy Zone ofControl is one Movement Point for Allied unitswith a Movement Allowance of four or less,and two Movement Points for Allied units witha Movement Allowance of six or greater. Theword "additional" may be ignored.PARACHUTE INFANTRYGENERAL RULE (Correction): The AlliedPlayer receives eight (not seven) paratroopunits at the beginning of the game.(D) (Clarification): Paratroop units cannotmove or attack until they are brought intosupply. If attacked before they are brought intosupply they have their Combat Strengthhalved for defense.GAME-TURN 1 PLAY SEQUENCEGERMAN UNlT PLACEMENT (Clarification):The fort hexes # QQ 29 and RR 31 are notconsidered partially sea-hexes. German unitsmay be initially deployed in these forts.PARADROP (Clarification): Paratroop unitswhose drop zones are occupied by Germanunits must still consult the Scatter Table. Ifsuch units are scattered onto a non-Germanoccupied hex, or an unoccupied hex, they mayland safely. If, due to scattering, Alliedparatroop units exceed stacking limiations,invert the excess units. As soon as the stack isin supply, the excess units must move toconform to the stacking limits. If they can'tmove, they are eliminated. After moving off,they are turned upright and can functionnormally. [The non-inverted units may moveoff the stack instead, so long as the Stackingrules are obeyed by the end of the first AlliedMovement Phase in which the stack is insupply.] Inverted units are not counted in theDefense Strength of a stack, and areeliminated if the stack is eliminated, retreated,or involved in an exchange. In the case of anexchange, the inverted units are not countedby the German Player when maiching Alliedlosses. Note: This errata pertains only tooverstacking caused by Paradrop scattering.ALLIED FIRST MOVEMENT PHASE (Clarification):Allied units may not use the roadmovement rate on the first Allied Player-Turn.They may, however, use bridges to the extentof crossing bridged River or Flooded hexsidesby paying only the movement cost defined bythe terrain in the hex being entered.VICTORY CONDITIONS (Clarification): TheVictory Points awarded for exiting Allieddivisions (or division equivalents) off aparticular map edge may only be scored onceper map edge, i.e., there are no additionalpoints awarded for moving more than onedivision off a single map edge. Similarly,Victory Points are only awarded for the singlemost deeply penetrating Allied unit regardlessof the number of Allied beachheads.LEVELS OF VICTORY (Correction): An AlliedDecisive Victory is achieved if the Allies score40 (not 49) or more Victory Points.COMBAT RESULTS TABLEEXPLANATION OF RESULTS (Omission):DRIAR: Units may not retreat in violation ofStacking limitations (Stacking limitationssre ineffect throuahout the Combat. Phase). Unitswhjch retreat into a Friendly occupied hexwhich is subsequently attacked during thesame Combat Phase may not apply theirCombat Strength toward the defense of thehex-group, but are affected by the results ofthe combat.As of October 1973, errata sheets for thefollowing games are available:The American Revolution, The ArdennesOffensive, Austerlitz, Breakout B Pursuit, 1812(Strategic and Grand Tactical versions), ElAlamein, Franco-Prussian War, Grenadier, LaGrande Armee, Lee Moves North (new title forLee at Gettysburg), Leipzig, The Marne, TheMoscow Campaign, Musket & Pike, NATO,Normandy, Red StadWhite Star, Rifle 8Saber, Soldiers, Strategy I, and The WildernessCampaign.Games published in Strategy 8 TacticsMagazine:The Fall of Rome (SBT #391, CA (SBT #38),Scrimmage (SBT #37), Destruction of ArmyGroup Center (SBT #36), Year of the Rat(SBT #35), Armageddon (SBT #34), WinterWar (SBT #33), Borodino (SBT #32), FlyingCircus (SBT #31), Combat Command (SBT#30), U.S.N.
