do they effectively replace the boat rules of E 5?

Not yet.

Are these rules unique to the Dinant CG-- or do they effectively replace the boat rules of E 5?

Not yet.

The hounds are getting restless as they are picking up the scent of an ASLRB v3 hovering in the air...

Well I got scenarios at the ready when you need them.

Unique to Dinant. The main Change is when loading into a boat it costs one to push off. Makes the crossing the two hex wide river a it tougher to get in and moving. the rules in the Dinant HASL are unique to the situation at Dinant.

What do the differently colored buildings represent? The gray ones are stone, I presume, but are there differences between the other (wooden?) ones?

 

[klasmalmstrom]

...but are there differences between the other (wooden?) ones?

No - all normal wooden buildings.

 

[WuWei]

Thanks!

Very poor judgement on the part of MMP (just one of several examples in this module, sadly).

Leading with my chin… What examples Bruce?

Oak versus pine. <tsk, tsk>

I've posted my several dislikes previously (probably in this thread). Top of the list, of course, is the utterly inexplicable decision to not include any overlays required to play several of the included scenarios, made only worse by the requirement for newbie purchasers of this module to purchase a separate overlays pack that isn't even available to purchase! "Oh, it will be out some day ... don't forget to send us the money!"

I've also posted that I very much like the module overall. For such a "prestige" product MMP's unexpectedly clumsy handling of some of the details is just very disappointing.

This is, indeed, a very valid point.

Possible scenario errata? I'm pulling the pieces for ASL78 Encounter At Cornimont (CdG2) and notice there are 9 'cycle' counters for 9 squads+SMC+SW. They cannot pack the SW on cycles, so some MMC must carry them on foot. Seems odd to leave cycles behind offboard. Played a hunch and checked the same scenario card from CdG1, and they are all depicted as 'sidecars'. My gut tells me that they should be sidecars as in the original version, but my ASL-gut is often wrong. So, I'm asking MMP.

They should be Sidecars. That is known errata. Check out the CdG2 Errata thread

Thanks, I didn't know there was an errata thread for it. I'll look...

Also noted as the official errata on the MMP website in the CdG II product announcement (a great place to place exiting errata IMHO).

Unfortunately I did not look there. I looked under ASL Official Errata under the Support tab. I just assumed it would be on that main page. I had no idea errata was being placed on specific product pages.

 

[bprobst]

Neither did anyone else, because MMP are very good at not advertising that errata exists. Sometimes Perry slips up and makes a post, but generally they're very good at keeping everything simultaneously public and secret.

 

[phlegm027]

It’s a skill they’ve honed to razor sharpness.
i don't believe in errata. It’s like a do over. They left the sidecars home.
Everything MMP does has a reason. It may be a Pz I with a front armor of 78. Just go with it.

Errata? never bother with it.
