Q: Can you retreat across the Dnepr? The rules seem to tell nowhere. If you can't, and you miss your standfast die roll you eliminate the units per 9.5.3 right? A: No retreating across the Dnepr. Your are correct. Units unable to retreat and failing to stand fast are eliminated. Q: The setup for scenario places two units in hex 2912, which in the preceding paragraph has been declared as under Russian control. Which is correct? A: Afraid I don't have the scenarios with me (at home). Set the two units up in the nearest German-controlled hex. Q: Is there any reason why some Germans (i.e. the recon units) have their armor value in white, but all other German tanks and StuG in red? A: Not really. Q: How does scatter work for Parachute HQs, ATs and artillery? 26.35 mentions they may only land on concentrated parachute companies. Do you follow both the restrictions of 26.2 (i.e. within two hexes of the dropzone) *and* 26.35 when dropping? A: Yes. Q: Then roll for scatter? A: Yes. Q: So, an HQ could actually land far away from a company? A: Yes. Q: Nitpicking: a parachute *brigade* does allow the drop of an HQ/AT/arty as per above, right? A: Yes. Q: If a disrupted unit builds an improved position, does it recover from disruption as per 21.3? It has neither moved or attacked. A: It does not recover as it has expended all its movement in construction. Q: If an artillery unit at night does spend MPs only for limbering or unlimbering, does it recover as per 5.53? A: No, but it is not disrupted. Q: The artillery of the German 34th infantry division have no AT value. Is this an oversight, or do they have other tubes, incapable of such fire? A: Good catch. The 1/34 Bn should have a "2" AT value. Q: 20.1 says that improved positions in towns do not the provide the defender with any additional benefits. The CRT says that an Improved position has no effect in Cities/Towns. Is both of that also true for the shift on the bombardment table, i.e. is it possible to get both the town/city *and* improved position shift? A: No. Q: If you don't get this shift, what sense is there for building improved positions in cities/towns? (Having read the Avalanche rules now I realize that that part of the sentence was dropped that tells you need an improved position to build a fortress. Since RP doesn't have fortresses it seems easier to understand what you meant. Still, a confusing sentence) A: Agree. Q: 22.24 tells what to do if a stack containing a leader gets a step loss. However, a leader can support a combat from one hex away. In that case the leader cannot be harmed? A: Correct. Q: If attacking across the Kanev bridge, what is the terrain effect? Is it x1/4 for attacking across a river (in which case it seems hardly possible to get across at all)? A: 1/4 is the effect. The bridge does allow the attacker to gain armor benefits though. Remember that artillery is not affected by the river/bridge. 20 points of ground quartered plus 40 points of artillery is still 45 points. Q: If performing an infiltration move, do my units move together, or sequentially? I.e. if the first unit succeeds, do following units get the +2 modifier? A: All units are considered to move at the same time and thus do not benefit from the first infiltrating units arriving in the hex this turn.. Q: If formation artillery supports a stack with units of two different formations; one of which it is assigned to, the other where it is not assigned. Can it fire Full or 1/2 or N/A (for the Germans and Soviets resp.)? A: Full up to the support limit for the assigned unit and half for the unassigned unit. Soviets are similarly affected. Q: Setup and reinforcement chart sum up to a total of thirteen Soviet bridgeheads. the countermix only has 12. What to do? A: It is expected that one will be eliminated early on. Q: The morale for the AT guns of the 68th Guard infantry division is printed as 5, whereas the rest of the division only has 4. Per errata the 42nd Gd inf div AT have 4, too. Is it wrong here, too? A: Yes. Treat them as 4 morale. Q: Do guards rifle divisions roll on the Soviet Rifle Division Strength chart? We did do this, but a reassuring not might strengthen our belief we did it right. After all, maybe a "Guards Rifle Division" is not a "Rifle Division" A: Yes.
