Forgotten War Q & A.

[Cpl Uhl]

Bugles are declared at the start of the MPh (W7.8).
Before actual movement (W7.82) "...wishing to move to a new hex in that MPh, the CPVA player makes a DR.." Indicates that the move has not YET been made. So the Jitter DR is made, results if any applied, then the CPVA moves the unit/s declared just prior to be about to move.

So Bugles are declared at the start of the MPh (W7.8).

FW isn't in the ASOP.

I was wondering if Bugles precede everything else in the ASOP MPh, in particular firing of Starshells. Found the answer: Starshells are fired at 3.1, the start of THE MPh, while W7.8 states that "The CPVA player may sound Bugles at the start of any CPVA MPh...", ie at 3.2, the start of ITS MPh. So Starshells, if any, first, then the CPVA can decide to blow the horns or not.

Question on Steep Hills: does their existence negate continuous slope? Playing AP190 We are Sparta and the question came up. Level three hills only are steep slope. Apologies if this has been asked elsewhere.

Only in so much as firing across a cliff hexside affects Continuous Slope.

W1.32 FIRING RESTRICTIONS: All fire to/from a Steep Hills hex to/from an adjacent hex is treated as if occurring across a cliff hexside (B11.31-.32) if the target is at a different elevation than the firer [EXC: if either firer/target is in an upper-level-(B23.421)/rooftop-(B23.8) Location; if firing across a road hexside; by/vs Aerial units].

Thanks, so my read was that because it crosses adjacent across a cliff from 3 down to 2, then there is no continuous slope. Confirming what I thought!

Scenario 209, can the North Koreans win if American Vehicles remain in play?

Scenario 209, can the North Koreans win if American Vehicles remain in play?

Yes, if there are "no Good Order American MMC at ≥ Level 1 on board 17" - the other part of the VC.

 

[MrHonus]

It's confusing. To me, it reads that they have to clear the hill AND no AFV remain in play, OR they win if no AFV remain in play (regardless of MMCs on the hill).
"if there is no Good Order MMC at >= Level 1...and/or if no American AFV remain in play."

"and/or" - that's the "standard" ASL-speak to say "inclusive or" - i.e, you win if you fulfill either one of the requirements, but you also win if you fulfill both of them.

ASL 206....
Should the 236's in I and M companies for the Americans be CREWS for the RCL???
Errata for this?

No errata that I am aware of. I'll see if I can dig up the submitted version and see if anything got lost in translation....

 

[klasmalmstrom]

Think the card is correct - in Korea the 57mm RCL do not require a crew. Should be in the Ordnance Notes.

Edit to add from U.S./ROK/OUNC ORDNANCE NOTES 5:
† In KW scenarios, the M18(L) is not considered a crew-served weapon (A21.13; C12.2) [EXC: Early KW ROK; W3.11].

What would be the point of even mentioning clearing the hill then?

What would be the point of even mentioning clearing the hill then?

1. Win if no MMC on the hill
2. Win if no AFV remain in play
3. Win if no MMC on the hill and no AFV remain in play

Are Korean scenarios considered PTO? If so, where is this written?
Thanks,

[PresterJohn]

W.3 describes KW Terrain for scenarios.

No they are not PTO.

Are ROK units considered part of UN forces for the purposes of W.5? (I don't have Nat. Capability charts for FW)

Thx.

W.2A defines them as UN forces

Thanks. I was so focused on searching WP that I didn't think to look a few inches up the page. Doh!

When a Late War KATUSA 4-4-6 squad suffers ELR failure, is it replaced with Early War 3-3-6 KATUSA Squad? If not, what happens to it?
