Rules Questions/Errata

1. The Battle of Valverde: It appears that Level 1 and 2 are switched on
the Terrain Key. Level 1 hexes are yellow. Correct? 

2. The Battle of Valverde: Special Rules. Dismounted Cavalry and Shock.
Does this really mean that no dismounted Confederate cavalry unit can
shock attack any Union unit?

#1: Ooops. You're right: Yellow is L-1, most of the map is L-2. (Same
sort of thing happened with the old SPI/S&T CRSUADES game . . . ) 

#2: That is correct, CSA dismounted cav may NOT shock attack . . . it
was not something they were either trained, or disposed, to do. And
which they did NOT do during the battle. 

"Who were the playtesters? Nobody was listed." 

Left em out . . .probably inadvertently. Probably because the 2 who did
- and I'm sorry, but in the welter of testing i am now undertaking I
cannot remember (at this moment) who they were, for which i apologize.
Mike Lemick did some counter pushing, too . . . to very positive
reaction. 

However, this is a system that has now been used in, what, half a dozen
plus games? We know the system works . . . and the actual battles are
small and simple enough so that extended testing is really not required
(altho playtesting IS done . . .and the system has undegone extensive
testing, albeit in a slightly different form, for MEN OF IRON). 

Sorry I left that out . . . my apologies to those so slighted.
