Updated Scenarios?

[Will Fleming]

HoB did an update to some scenarios in a 2nd edition?

Specifically, FF10 "Blackjack is Back" changes Axis SAN, deletes a US squad, and makes prisoners not count double for VC. [Edit: also adds 2 447's to German OB]

I couldn't find any errata on their web page for this which I think is pretty poor. Is there a list somewhere of the updates?

Kinda changed our game when players are both playing off different cards and leaves an unsavory aftertaste.

Listed errata is:

Scenario FF10 (“Blackjack Is Back”)

The Play Area should read: "Only hexrows A-P (inclusive) are playable."

Will

I've had a quick look over my scenarios and I see there are a few small differences in one or two I've looked at.
The format is different so it's not easy to spot any right away.
The only errata on HOB's web site I found is for the original SS packs. I found an error in Bear Hunt NQNG3.
In Russian OB1 the 2 ATRs have been replaced 2 LMGs. Is should be ATRs.

When HOB released the redone packs, they announced that they would not be releasing the corrections as they expected people to buy the redone packs. At least that's what i recall from the ASLML at the time.

Seemed counter productive as I ended up not buying the redone versions as I hadn't thought that much of the original scenarios at the time.

Updated Pack needs errata badly.The more I look at it and compare old to new the more errors or questions I find.
I think Will picked the scenario with the most changes in the pack. FF11,12 and 13 have a number of changes too.

I've just checked HOB's All-Time Favorites scenarios and they don't match the Update pack scenario.

Refusing to issue errata to make us buy the new pack? Sure you don't have them confused with a different TPP?

Pretty sad IMHO. Makes MMP look that much better when they issue errata/changes so I can pen and ink my old scenarios. I don't mind that.

As for changes, I don't have the new packs, so I don't know other than this one since we decided to play it. We are doing a CF version of FF10 with 2 extra German squads, 1 less American squad, SAN 2, 1 HIP squad/equivalent and prisoners counting double. Hodge-podge of both as the German already did his setup with the extra units and I already started the game with less. I get the prisoners bonus and the lower san to sort-of compensate I guess.

I am confused.
When was this released?

Where is it for sale?

It first was published in 1999 in the Waffen SS Furher's Fireman module that came with counters.

It was updated and republished in 2006 as the HOB Waffen SS Update pack.
