Long March CG

[Legion]

I am playing the Long March CG.
My KMT (with 72CVP of men) scored 29 CVP against Ramis Reds (17 CVP gained and starting with 55CVP) but still lost the scenario (6CGVP to Rami and 4 CGVP to me)

However, we are now looking at LM3 - The Culling at Xiang River... and there are problems.

• Either the picture showing Bd 5 is around the wrong way, or the number showing the facing of the board is incorrect
  
  [*]If the Reds Setup HIP on/East of hexrow I with the board setup going by the numbers then they are staggered across Bd7 and Bd5 in 2 split setup zones.
  [*]If they setup HIP as per the picture of Bd7 and Bd5 then they are completely useless and the KMT can just waltz in to claim the victory locations without a concern in the world.​

Can someone point me to errata. Or can Jay Long let us know which is the correct way to setup for this game? I am AARing it as usual so this means there will be a source for the correct reading of the cards.

Red Army should set up HIP on/south of hexrow I and east of river.

I have a more detailed post in your other thread in the main ASL section. In summary, arrange the boards according to the board numbers not the board graphic and read the PLA setup as on/south of hexrow I on board 5 and (the two hexes of) Y on board 7. This leaves the PLA between the KMT and the victory hexes.

There is a problem with LM8 and the CG tables, but see

for more details.

Correction for LM3 noted -south of I on board 5 and Y on board 7-
Any answer about the right numbers in the Campaign Game Information Table from HoB ?

Thanks,
Miguel

Just so there is no confusion, I am not, nor ever have ever been part of HoB. My "correction" to LM 3 is based upon logic, trying to make a workable and logically consistent scenario with the minimum of change to the wording, ... and a fair bit of guessing of the original intent. It is not an official HoB erratum. I am just an interested outsider.

Check the link in post 2 for more detailed reasoning.

As far as the CG table is concerned, the thread
http://forums.gamesquad.com/showthread.php?88500-Another-LM-scenario-8-question
is the last I heard from HoB about the CG table.

The set of figures that I calculated are just that, my calculations, and may in one or two cases be wrong. Just use the number to the left of any "+" sign, IE the infantry part only. If any one finds an error in my calculations, then the best thing is to resurrect that thread and post there so they are all in the one thread.

Hey Paul.
The links are dead....deleted?
I'm working through the CG and the Tables are off.
Maybe it was one of the first tables with VP values...that's all I can tell.

It's a link for the "old" GS site - this is the "new" link to that thread:

Another LM scenario 8, question

I have got LM and only just had a chance to examine the scenarios closely. Looking at HR 3, the low bidder sets up on the objective hex. Why on earth would any one want to win the bid? Maybe I have gone senile or am mis-reading the HRs, but a looser in the bid starts at full strength as...

Understood....I don't/can't/care about tracking players.
BUT if you can answer the question posed to whomever, that would be more helpful.
Saying you won't get an answer from "X" is just static, honestly.

MAYBE the moderators/admin can place a DEATH mark on the deceased players to avoid this sort of thing.
It COULD be helpful, but again questions posed to a person no longer with us, can ONLY be answered by others holding the same thought processes.

That, sir, was rude. A gentleman might have replied "I'm sorry. I wasn't aware that Paul had passed away."

YMMV

Maybe after your insensitive remark, you do not deserve an answer.

So, identifying passed away Friends and players wouldn't be a good thing.
Instead you leave that Door open for non-answers to questions in a forum.

That is based on perception. I thought it was OBVIOUS that information wasn't known to me.

And who would be happy. I didn't know the player.
And Yes, A Memorial TAG on the player PROFILE on the postings WOULD be helpful...you must admit that truth.
It would Honor Past friends and opponents. But instead, keep trolling me

You forgot the 10 ppl who gave likes to the 4 responses you counted.

Klas had already given the answer in post #7, but instead of reading it you spent the time trolling us.
