Background Notes/Design Notes

Errata (as of 5/04)

Russian reinforcement A2 list a medium tank platoon of 3xKV-1 M40; however the tanks depicted are 3xT34 M41. What should Russian reinforcement A2 consist of?
A. 3 x KV-1 M40. As per PL errata, the textual listing always supercedes the graphical depiction if they vary. [Misc9]
CG-GE1 ("The Grain Elevator") In the German order of battle 4 Flak Pz IV/20 (wirbelwinds) are shown. In the scenario aftermath 4 Flk Pz IV/37 (Ostwinds) are mentioned specifically. Should the Germans have Flak Pz IV/20's or Flak Pz IV/37's?
A. FlaK Pz IV/37. [Misc9]
CG-GE1 ("The Grain Elevator") Under the initial Russian OB: A2 NKVD Militia Pltn should be I3 NKVD Militia Pltn; G2 ART Battery should be G1 ART Battery; and O4 Offb'd Observer should be the O2 Offb'd Observer (there is no O4).
CG GE1 ( "The Grain Elevator") In the CG E1 Objectives, can draws occur? Should it read, "The Germans win…all stone buildings…" instead of Locations?
A. Yes. No.
German OB it lists, "O4:Offb'd Observer". There is no O4. Does it mean O2?
A. Yes.
Map I notice in some hexes on the GE map building depictions cross over hexsides? Does this make these new hexes Building hexes?
A. No. Building depictions that cross over a hexside block LOS and Bypass movement across those hexsides and have no other effect on play. Note that A9 is a building hex despite the fact that the building depiction 'misses' the hex center-dot.
Map Can you clarify the status of the Grain Elevator (Building I6) hexes I7-I8?
A. Yes. These have a Ground Level and Rooftop Location at Level 2 only. These rooftops may be reached from Level 2 of hex I6. Treat these Rooftops as per O.4B and O.5 for entry and all other purposes otherwise.
Redeployment Use Redeployment Option B.
Russian OB it lists, "A2: NKVD Militia Pltn. X 4". "A2" is the Medium Tank Pltn; an NKVD Pltn. Is I3. Does the OB mean 4 x NKVD Militia?
A. Yes. Same goes for "G2: Arty Bty.", there is no G2, use G1 instead.
Russian RG Notes I assume Russian Note c also includes INF guns as regards being accompanied by a 2-2-8 crew.
A. Yes.
