Operation Shoestring Q & A 

6.0 ZOC; Do they extend out to sea? 

NO 

8.1 This rule says roads are ignored for combat purposes. The TEC and
Designer's Notes seem to contradict this. Which is correct? 

8.1 is correct. Units defending in road hexes use the terrain defense
value of other terrain in the hex. 

10.4 & 18.2; Does BB modifier apply to airfield bombardment? 

Yes, reverse modifier just for airfield bombardment. 

18.4; Submarine attack table; What happens if hit but no such ship
available? 

NO HIT 

What happens if hit but no such ship out of port? 

NO HIT 

Map; The 1 hex island off Tulagi plays what role in the game? 

It does not count as part of Tulagi for V.C., setup, or any other
purpose. 

Clarifications: 

Sequence of play: Delete section II.A.2. This mistakenly repeats I.E.1.

Allied initial set-up (page 16): Should be "1 CL", not "2 CL". 

Victory conditions: 

**CHANGE Japan Victory condition #9 to read "after Gt 2" 

Condition #4 for both sides should read "eliminate 40 GROUND steps... "
