COG ERRATA, CLARIFICATIONS, OPTIONAL RULES 10/28

Counters

The color shading on the German counters may make it unclear which go to
Tannenberg and which to Marne. All 8th Army counters are Tannenberg, the
rest are Marne. (In other words, ALL the German units with an exact hex
set up number are Tannenberg units, plus the 3R XX entering on Turn 2,
and the 1 LW XX on Turn 11. All the other German units are Marne units.)

The Russian 53rd division which enters Tannenberg on Turn 3 is missing
its ABC entry hexes notation.

In the Marne ignore the German 1st Army Cavalry Command Marker (but see
the optional rule below).

Basic Rules

6.1 Clarification: Stacking is enforced at the end of the Operational
Phase, not the movement of each unit or stack.

6.2 Add: In Tannenberg the German 1st Cavalry Division is considered a
corps for stacking purposes.

7.1 Clarification: ZOC do not extend across lake or sea hexsides.

11.3 Fortified Zones (Add): Fortified Zones are destroyed when occupied
by an enemy unit.

11.3 Clarification: Railroads do not negate the Operational Movement
cost of other terrain.

12.7 Correction: Should read "The DRM used on attacking units is to the
LEFT of the slash (not right) , DRM used on defending units is to the
right (not left). The example under 12.72 is correct. (Anyone still in
doubt, check the player aid card which does not use slashes but separate
lines.)

12.92 Delete the reference to "swamps" in this rule.

14.4 Clarification: Cavalry retreating before combat under this rule
retreat two hexes, as in 14.3.

Tannenberg Rules

The terrain key in Tannenberg incorrectly reverses the German and
Russian VP hexes. German VP hexes are yellow, Russian VP hexes are red.

On the Tannenberg map the hexside between 1811 and 1910 is a river.

3.12 German Setup. Note the German 1st Cavalry Division sets up
overstacked at the start. It must comply with stacking limits at the end
of German movement on turn 1.

4.22 Clarification: AS units are not considered supplied for the purpose
of this rule.

Add New Rule 8.32 Russian 2nd Army units east of hexrow 3400 inside
Russia may trace supply through hexes in Russia (only) without regard to
the Russian retreat compass.

Marne Rules

4.22 Clarification: AS units are not considered supplied for the purpose
of this rule.

9.21 Change to read: Allied reinforcement units are placed on the turn
indicated on the unit. FCP units may set up anywhere, subject to the
stacking limits, in friendly controlled supplied hexes in the Fortified
Camp of Paris. The French 4th Army reinforcements are placed on the
south map edge within that army. If units cannot enter the game on the
turn indicated they do not enter the game. For game purposes they are
considered eliminated.

10.44 5th Paragraph change "marked with an *" to "marked with a yellow
background color in the unit type box."

16.2 Add: German optional units may overstack on set-up (but the
infantry/cavalry restriction still applies); they must meet normal
stacking limits as soon as physically possible.

16.3 Optional: The Marker (and the separately colored 1 Army Cavalry
counters) is left over from a rule that was dropped after the counters
went to the printer, so they can be ignored. But, otoh, since they are
still there, optionally you can do the following:

Treat the German 1st Army and 1st Army Cavalry as two separate commands,
both using the 1st Army Command Track. The three 1st Army Cavalry units
are only treated as a separate command within the 1st Army boundary, and
only those three units are so treated (ignoring any other cavalry that
later attaches itself to 1st Army).

17.3 Add: German units of the 1st and 4th Armies (including 1st Army
cavalry) may set up in any hexes (subject to the stacking limits) within
1 hex of their listed set up hex.

Design Note: The historical battle scenario strongly favors the Allies
(the Germans, having allowed the Allied armies to escape during the
pursuit, are in a bad way). The following two optional rules should make
the scenario more competitive. Use of 17.5 may often lead to the game
ending in a draw, perhaps a more accurate description of the battle, for
all its strategic implications.

17.4 New Optional: On turn 6 (turn 1 of the scenario), French 6th and
4th Armies, and the BEF, have an automatic movement allowance of 2. No
die roll is required, though the order they are activated still depends
on the order their ACM chits are drawn.

17.5 New Optional: Allow the Allied player to only count a Primary
Victory as a win. The German player may still win a Secondary Victory if
the Allies fail to win a Primary Victory, or the game may end in a draw.
