Tigers to the Front Map

[koffee77]

Am asking CH, but will ask here as well.

Is the compass on the Tttf map misoriented? Am thinking it should be turned 90 counterclockerwise. I did not come across any errata on the CH site but have asked. This already resovled somewhere else?

The compass direction is correct. The compass symbol is in hex B26.

Koffee,
The TttF map compass for the VASL map is indeed wrong by 90 degrees. Look at the actual paper map for the correct compass facing. -- jim

Still seems incorrect. One of the scenarios states the area of play is certain numbered hexes and hexes south of row JJ. Row JJ is oriented on north/south axis. The scenario card compass looks to be oriented different from the board.

Am getting rdy to play the big scenario. Based on the map compass, the germans set up on the south side and the Russkie north on top of the hills. Seems strange the tiger reinformcements come in from the west, almost behind the russian lines. The russkies the same, coming in from the east, almost behind the german lines.

No map here at work. Seem to recall both the map and vasl version being oriented the same.

I don't have the VASL map handy, but the map orientation for the print map and scenario cards are correct.

Jay White I believe did the VASL map. He'd be the one to talk to about it.

So hex row A is the north edge of the map?

Jay White and I are playing a scenario on TttF map right now via PBEM. I can assure you that the compass on the VASL map is incorrect. Use the on the paper map. The A row on the VASL map should be the Northern edge. The compass on the VASL map puts the 1 row as the North edge and this is incorrect. -- jim

 

[koffee77]

My printed map compass is the same as that shown in VASL - row 1 is north. Are there two versions of the printed map floating around?

Koffee,
I am not sure if there are two versions of the printed map or not. There may be two versions of the VASL map floating around which corrects the problem but I do not thinks so. Note that earlier I did not say row 1 was North, I said the A row was North. To be more clear, the hexes A1 through A28 are the North edge. Hexes A1 thru T1 are the East edge. This information comes from my printed version of the map which I got with TttF. Hope this is more clear and helps. -- jim

 

[Jay White]

I haven't fixed the VASL map - but I will! Jim's right - the VASL map is wrong, the real one is correct. That'll teach anyone who's trying to play a scenario without actually buying the pack! :whist:

Bought TttF recently and I think it was 2nd edition. Also thought the compass printed on map was misaligned. Scenario cards have North in one direction, map in another. If North is hexrow A1-A28 then (2nd edition?) map has it wrong; because its pointing to A1-TT1.

 

[koffee77]

The map I have is a 2nd edition map.

If the 2nd ed. map says row 1 is north, then that is a map error. Row A is north.

I will check with CH and verify here one way or the other with how to resolve.

:OHNO: Yes, the compass is wrong on the printed 2nd ed. of the map. The scenario cards are right though, I don't believe they were changed with 2nd ed. - only the map. Again, just to clarify, Hexrow A is north.

I'm sorry I wasn't allowed to proof this before it was released (heck, I don't even own the 2nd ed. map).

Thanks for checking. Is an easy fix - getting out my sharpie.
