ACROSS 5 APRILS: Q&A/ERRATA (unofficial) - 3 May 96
===================================================

BENTONVILLE
-----------

Q: How many game turns are there in Bentonville?  A look at the
Game Turn Track and you'd say 6, yet the rules say 5.

A: The track is correct, there are 6 turns.  There is a misprint
in the Exclusive Rules; it should say "at the end of Game Turn
#6" (not #5).  And in the Basic Rules, 3.0, Step #3, Game Turn
Advancement Segment, "that Game Turn's" refers to the turn just
finished, since Game Turn Advancement is the last thing you do in
each turn.  

Q: The Victory Point Ratio charts for three of the games are
confusing.  Since VP Ratios are not rounded off, shouldn't the
charts show ranges?

A: They should.  Bentonville's was especially confusing, since
there are 6 ratio ranges (3 on each side of 1-to-1) and only 5
levels of victory.  Note the corrected range for a Draw.  (See
also Gettysburg and Shiloh.)
