BFP3 Aircraft Notes Errata
Page BFP 10 (example of play 3): The second line should refer to the ‘16 FP IFT column’ instead of the ‘100+mm IFT column’.
Page BFP 10 (example of play 4): Third line from the bottom of this example should refer to the ‘16 FP column’ instead of the ‘20 FP column’.
BFP aircraft notes, page BFP 10 (example of play 4): The sentence, "The second way a hit could be achieved is with an Original DR of 4 by disregarding the Light Jungle TEM" is incorrect. The sentence should state, "The second way a hit could be achieved is with an Original DR of 6 by disregarding the Light Jungle TEM"
For clarification, the second way to acheive an effect is if in ignoring the Light Jungle TEM (+1 NA), a hit is achieved, then the attack is still a Vehicle Target Type attack (the ATT reference only impacting the base FP or TK value) with a base TH # at 7-12 hex range of "9". Since it is still a VTT you must apply the VTT modifier (+3) for this "Tiny Tim" attack = net +3, so a "6" on the original DR will acheive a Hit. On the TK modifier you would have a base TK of 8 (1/2 value for now being an "ATT-like" attack) with +1 for Aerial, -0 Aerial AF, and -1 for TEM for a Final TK of 8.
Page BFP 10 (example of play 5): The second to last sentence, "The DRM are as follows: +1 Firer has bombs" should also include an additional DRM of +1 for GA(ref. BFP Aircraft 2.3). The sentence should state, “The DRM are as follows: +1 Firer has bombs, +1 Firer is GA".
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.
Japanese are exempt from PAATC from G1.62, so in the article on Tank Hunter Heros, page 46, first column, second sentence, delete the phrase ", provided it passes a PTC".

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

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.
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.
Q. Do the Japanese pay Captured Use penalties for Axis Minor/Chinese (j) weapons?
A. No.
Q. With the Japanese Type 1 Ho-Ha can a passenger remove the MG's as part of the normal unloading process or can only the crew remove them?
A. The MGs are removable by the Passengers just like the US vehicle (US Vehicle Note 30).
