Is this right? A) Yes. 2) Regarding reinforcements--if it doesn't specify their strength upon entry (e.g., Gudin's division and the cavalry that comes in with him, Wrede, Ferdinand, etc.), can we assume they enter at max printed strength? A) Yes. One of the Russian reinforcements - Essen I - has a subordination rating of 2 making him too big to be commanded by a Major General. A) Change Essen I's Subordination Rating to 1.5. From: Kevin Zucker Subject: Errata for Sun of Austerlitz, Exclusive Rules, para 73 Chris et al. We are reinstating the words 'around, but not' in paragraph 73 to read ... "The enemy unit may continue moving around, but not through, the hex containing the Vedette, ignoring its Zone of Control." >On Friday, May 23, 2003, at 05:10 PM, Kevin Zucker wrote: > >> Why is that less satisfactory?
