Bitterest Day Errata

What counter is used for the BD campaign game Air support? I am specifically looking for its MG FP.

Both 45A FB and 45 FB counters have 12 MG FP.

Leader type allotment is specified in the HQ section composition column depending on whether the RG is full or depleted.

I don't think you understood my question. What I am actually asking is can the I3 or V3 RG roll for leadership? The RG chart would suggest no, but reading 2.5193 would suggest yes. Which one is correct?

Thank you, that helps.

Sorry about the misunderstanding. I see the issue now. The RG chart is correct, roll for leader allotment if note ‘a’ is present.

2.5193 needs some attention to the exceptions.

Thank you for the clarification, I really appreciate it. Sorry my question was also badly written and ambiguous.

Another question on the BD campaign game. Hex Q1 is in the Japanese set up area, but it is also in the American entry area B. Can the Americans enter into hex Q1 on turn 3 or after?

 

[Hubbs5]

Now that I have reread Rule A2.5 and A4.14, can the Americans advance into hex Q1?

Yes. I'm assuming you are referring to the situation where a Japanese unit occupies hex Q1.

If the hex is not occupied by a Japanese unit, yes. Alternatively, it can advance into the Japanese occupied hex in the APh.

The Japanese can set up concealed in open ground, which I believe Q1 is. Are dummy counters enough to keep the Americans from entering that hex?

No. The Americans could attempt to enter at which point the Japanese would have to reveal a real unit. At which point the Americans could then come on board in the APh and CC them.

 

[Hubbs5]

No. The Americans could attempt to enter at which point the Japanese would have to reveal a real unit. At which point the Americans could then come on board in the APh and CC them.

Thank you for your help with this. So there is no firing allowed by the Japanese? Are the Japanese stripped of concealment? Do the Americans come back on the board concealed or unconcealed?

If the Americans attempted to enter their hex, there would be a random selection for Japanese loss of concealment (A12.15) if more than one Japanese unit is in the hex, otherwise, yes they would lose concealment. Since the Americans never entered on board, no firing would be allowed by the Japanese. The Americans would come back on board unconcealed.

Thank you, that really helps clarify things. I look forward to playing this campaign game. It looks amazing.

I see that the Tiny Tim 200mm rockets can eliminate a cave with a CH. Can the 127mm rockets using the ITT also eliminate a cave with a CH per G11.88?

As per G11.88 yes they can.

Do Crags and Broken terrain count as concealment terrain for searching? Invoking the +2 DRM for the opponents searching against the Japanese?

Can an Armor leader that has been on the board for at least 1 campaign day move to a different vehicle from a different RG, even if that group isn't able to roll for leadership?

Yes. That can happen in the Refit phase if you want to move him to a different vehicle.

The answer is dependent on whether the terrain is considered concealment terrain or not. Chapter B is your friend here, as well as the pack specific rules (in the case of the Broken ground).
