Nowadays, VASL should automatically 'pull' the newest board-version if you have not stored it locally on your machine. So this problem should me (mostly) covered, I guess....and not just board 5.
IIRC, when MMP redid some/most/all SL and TAHGC ASL-era boards from scratch
(because late-century art masters hadn't survived well),
they gave their board-redo artists liberty to
approximate rather than duplicate
(else artist time/cost would have been far higher).
[I recall suggesting use of board version numbers would useful,
but version control was not something they wanted.
Consequently, today it's up to the players to notice,
"you know, your board differs from my board."]
Pretty sure that's just bad editing.I was just setting up a scenario with board 5 and noticed the woods are no longer the same along the board edge. I think the only thing it does is prevent bypass along the board edge of K10, M10 and O10. Something missed when creating the SK boards.
