well by all means, grab a fat-point Sharpie and draw a big freakin' asterisk on them. or, gasp for breath, and live w/ them the way they're printed.

Don't know if anyone else has mentioned this, but
The 51mm MTR's in Thai/Indonesian colors do not include the asterisk which ALL mortars do. (These have identical stats to the British light mortars, but are not marked with a (b).) I did not find any scenarios where these are used.
The British light mortars don't have a star next to them either.

Those mortars actually don't need to have the asterisk on them because their range limitation (11 hexes) means that they will never get into a situation where the astrick'd nature of the gun factors into the long range modifiers of the C3 To Hit table (i.e. ranges > 13 hexes). So while technically you are correct, why clutter up the counter if one doesn't need to?

Also, those mortars were not used in any of the current B&J scenarios, but they are now available for any future scenarios that BFP chooses to generate. This was done because it is more cost effective to do one print run with the counters that we will, or might, need rather than do counter print runs for counters as we need them for scenarios. Rest assured that you'll get your chance to use those in future scenarios.

The British 51mm mortars don't have an asterisk either. As the * range penalty does not apply unless the range is 13 hexes or longer, the asterisk is irrelevant. I suspect they should have a (b) for nationality.

One thing I noticed while playing on the DW maps: DW-1b, hex Z11 has no center dot. We just eyeballed it (the LOS was clear, we were just checking because you can), but it might come into play if the LOS were tighter somewhere. I just thought BFP would like to know in case you ever reprint the boards (perhaps in a set of all BFP maps). Thanks for Blood and Jungle, it has rekindled my desire for PTO.

Admit it, you just had to include those toys. That's why we love B&J, totally completist! :thumup:

Latest BFP 3 Errata and Q&A

BFP3 Errata
The listing below is known errata for BFP3 Blood and Jungle.

BFP 32: Japanese Option should be > = 72

BFP 34: Chinese 50mm MTR(r ) should have 5PP

BFP 40: 37LAT should be PaK 35/36 (Note 25)

BFP 42: SBR 2. Add “allotment” after MP.

BFP 46: Options should be reversed

BFP 47: SBR 3 line 4. Replace “selection” with ‘direction’.

BFP 52: MISSION: change last sentence to Hill 801

BFP 53: MISSION: change last sentence to 37A5-T5 road.

BFP 55: Options should be reversed

BFP62: The direction arrow should be pointing to the left instead of at the top of the page. It should have 8 turns instead of 7.

BFP63 and BFP65: The Japanese 2+3+5 pillbox should have a brown background.

BFP66: SBR3. Delete the last sentence.

BFP3 Magazine Errata
In the article on Tank Hunter Heros, page 44 1st paragraph, it notes that, “The T-H Hero enters T4 where it wounds and so no longer has enough MF to get to the target in S4.” The article goes on to say that the T-H hero "will still be able to Advance into S4 in the Advance Phase". This is not correct. The T-H Hero, having spent 7MF when it became wounded, would be Pinned instead (Ref. A17.2, A25.23, G1.5 and G1.4 (with the journal #5 errata)), and hence it could not Advance.

BFP3 Counter Errata
Japanese FT-17M Ko(f): Ignore the “*” after the CMG MA designation

BFP3 Map Errata
Hex DW1 Z11 does not have a center dot.

BFP3 Q&A
Q. Are the gray circular structures on board BFP G Storage Tanks?
A. Yes.

Q. Are Thai, INA, IRA, BIA considered Axis Minor for Leader Creation?
A. Yes.

Q. What are the "RKT, First Shot"/'"RKT, Expended" counters for?
A. Those are referenced in BFP US Vehicle Note 4 for the LVT(A)2FS in the section that talks about the 150mm RKT SA. It is a two shot weapon - after the first shot the vehicle is marked “SA RKTs: 1st Fired”, and after the second shot is marked “SA RKTs: Expended”.

Q. There aren’t enough Japanese 89A Chi-Ho counters available for BFP-29. How does one handle that?
A. Use a 89B Chi-Ho as a surrogate 89A.

Latest version of sticky notes which includes updates to all of the errata above is located in the files below in both Letter (the 97.1 KB file) and A4 (the 97.0 KB file) sizes. The files are dated as of 2010/03/08.

Re: BFP 3 Errata

Where do I find the Debris overlays mentioned in some of the B&J scenarios? Are they in Into the Rubble or somewhere else?

Yes. That's where they are. In great abundance. I still haven't cut out all the singletons yet.

A. Use a 89B Chi-Ho as a surrogate 89A.

Q: In BFP 26, SBR1 dissallows Banzai. Are IJA TH Heros allowed?
A: No. G1.421 specifies that in order to create or use a TH Hero, the Good Order Japanese squad/hs must be within eight hexes during their MPh, or Adjacent during the enemy MPh, of an enemy AFV. Since the Chinese have no AFV's in this scenario, no THH's. And since the Japanese have no DC's in their OB, they cannot create a DC Hero either.
Q: In BFP 27, the same SBR banning Japanese Banzai is in effect. However, this time the Chinese OB has reinforcement AFVs. Are TH Heroes allowed?
A: Banzai is NA, so a TH-H could not execute that type of maneuver. However, there is the possibility of doing so in Advance/CC Phase if the situation arises.

I presume the slightly smaller file (458.9 KB) is the A4 file?

Re: BFP 3 Errata

Got mine this weekend - very nice package! Reading the article there seems to be two minor omissions:

Page 6: Y4
It says just above the illustration that the man-made path do not connect to road (path) in Y5. Since PTO is in effect there is no road in that hex and it can't be a path [EXC: by SSR].

Page 7: Detection (G.4)
Should also include Japanese Crews as Stealthy - it is mentioned later in Ambush (G.6).
