You forget to mention: "Original design by Bill Wilder."From a quick look at the scenario, it does appear to be rather messed up, despite having no less than seven playtesters credited. Specifically:
* The scenario only uses boards 7 and 34, but the Marines set up on any whole hex of Board 2.
* VC involve evacuating Good Order Marine squads as per SSR #6, but SSR #6 only talks about NOBA support.
* SSR #1 states that hexrows south of row 5 on board 7 are not in play, which means that the Marines cannot win, because the beach hexes that they would have to evacuate from are not in play.
* SSR #5 is missing.
Not OAF's finest moment... :crosseye:
If I was going to try to play it, I would make the following adjustments/guesses:
* Marines set up on Board 34.
* Good Order Marine squads evacuate as per SSR #4.
* Hexes numbered greater than 5 on board 7 are not in play.
That should at least make the scenario playable... although the "all buildings are jungle" SSR might be troublesome. There was no errata published in the following issue, #106, which was my last issue.
And I'm not trying to be funny, that's what my copy says.
The other names I don't recognize with the exception of Ted Bleck, who I think had some designs published in The Wargamer? He's credited as a playtester for the ASL Annual '93b mini HASL of Gavutu-Tanombogo as well.
