Subject: Errata for Siege of Port Arthur by Strife Games (absolutely neces 
        sary to play) 

The purpose of an errata is three fold: 1) to correct existing errors in
the rules; 2) to clarify any ambiguity in the rules; and 3) to
compensate for omissions in the rules. We apologize for having had to
resort to an errata; however, we feel that it is our responsibility to
ours clients to make the product they have purchased as satisfactory as
possible. Please understand that this is our first publication, and that
hopefully our subsequent games will need no errata. We receive with
appreciation any comments you may have: good, bad, or indifferent.
Together they will help us to produce better games in the future.

Rule 9: KILLING ZONES 

When a defending unit has its KZ tied up, the hex it occupies may not be
assaulted by hand-to-hand combat. In order for the defender to undergo
this type of attack, it must first be assaulted in a KZ battle. If the
RNT number is "7" or "8", the attacker may advance into hand-to-hand.
This is the only way in which a defender with a KZ may be attacked by
hand-to-hand combat.

Rule 10: COMBAT
 
An artillery unit with only one number printed on it has a defense
factor of "1" 

Rule 11: MECHANICS OF ARTILLERY FIRE 

The range of Russian naval gunfire and Japanese siege guns is unlimited.
Paragraph 3: If units without a LOS hit the target hex after consulting
the scatter pattern, the units with LOS and without LOS must fire
together at that hex. Paragraph 6: Ignore the statement about peak
hexes. They do not exist.

Rule 12: COUNTER-BATTERY FIRE 

The mechanics for firing counter-battery fire are these. The enemy
offensive strength points in the target hex are cross-indexed against
the attacker's offensive attack points. The resulting number is the
number or higher that must be arrived at by a random number in order for
neutralization to occur.

Rule 21: INITIAL SET-UP 

The permanent Russian batteries are the hexes with the plain number in
the bottom of the hex, not in the blue dot. The blue dots are the
objective hexes. Also, these Russian batteries have a defense value of
"1".

Rule 25: JAPANESE SIEGE GUNS 

The "IND" siege gun has an indefinite range; its defense value is "6".
When used against an infantry unit not in a fort, use the Artillery
Support Table at two regiments as follows: Unit(s) that are on clear
terrain, use the 1-3 column; if on rough terrain, use 1-2; if in
fortified terrain of town, use 1-1 column.

MORALE 

The bonus for the Russian applies only to units that will attack in the
following turn. 

MAP 

Place the letter "U" for the Japanese Artillery one hex southeast of
position "S". 

The blue dot five hexes south of Fort Cha Kua Tzu does not exist. 

The unnumbered Japanese battalion in the section with the 9th Division
is part of the 9th.
