Subject: SPI's Descent on Crete Errata From: Ross Hagglund Descent on Crete Errata (as of 24 March 1978) FORMATION DISPLAYS Any time a reference is made to a hex on the East Map that ends with a xx33 (example: E1733), the hex number should actually be a West Map coordinate that ends in xx01. Also, when repositioning the units, it is necessary to subtract nine from the "xx" part of the hex number. In the above example, E1733 would become W0801 (E becomes W, 17-9=08, and 33 becomes 01). Alternatively, Players may wish to look under the overlap of the two maps and place the units in question by lining the hex underneath the overlap with the hex above. CHARTS AND TABLES Close Assault Value Table: Note 3 is incorrect - A Disrupted or Depleted unit has ONE-HALF Strength (rounding down), not 0 Strength. Any reference to "Town" should refer to "Village". COMMONWEALTH TURN RECORD TRACK On Game-Turn One, the Commonwealth Player receives 5 (five) Command Points.
