Errata & Clarifications for AVALANCHE: THE INVASION OF ITALY
	edited by Ted Kim (tek@ficus.cs.ucla.edu)
	last update: 9 September 1997

After the game was published, Scenarios 5 to 8 were released.
Official errata was published on the back page of the rulebook and
with Scenario 5 & 6.  Additional items were provided by the designer,
Brian L. Knipple of Avalanche Press (AvalancheP@aol.com) in response
to email.


* Errata Published with Scenario 5 & 6

1. All Allied units are supplied on the pre-dawn, AM and mid-day turns
of 9 September.

2. Artillery units must be able to trace a supply path (7.1) to draw
ammunition.

3. The Allied player does not roll the dice (25.23) to determine if
his warships may bombard (8.0).  Following a bombardment a warship is
depleted exactly as for offensive support.  Warships are never
affected by formation rules.

4. The support counter for the US 83 mortar battalion is incorrectly
numbered as 82 on front and back.


* Errata and Clarifications Provided in Email	

	Counters

1. There are two Remnant counters for the US 1/36 Engineer.  One
should be for the US 3/36 Engineer.

2.  The -1/-2 Morale counters will be used later when new rules come
out about morale levels for replacements.

	Map

3. The highway in hex 3412 should intersect with the other roads.

4. Some players find it easier if cliff hexsides, cliff hexes (20.6),
and the Maiori and Commando Beachheads are marked on the map.

	Terrain Effects Chart (on Map)

5. Add "dagger" note symbol to infantry costs for river.  (Foot units
may also be engineer assisted.)

6. Double Dagger Note: Movement costs shown for cliff are for uphill
only.  Downhill is just the normal cost of the terrain.

7. Change strategic movement cost for infantry on highway to 0.66.
(This brings it into line with RED PARACHUTES.)

	Counter Identification Card

8. Headquarters units are motorized.

9. The parachute unit on the right is a drop company.

10. The HG Nebelwerfer unit has no morale because it has zero attack
and defense factors.

11. Other counters not illustrated: Road Blown (same as Road Blocked),
German Strongpoint, Numerical Marker, Air Point Marker, Artillery Ammo
Point Marker, Weather, Game Turn.  

	Allied Tracks and Tables Card

12. Ignore the numbers 7 through 10 printed to the right of the
Interdiction Track.

	German Tracks and Tables Card

13. The Unit Counter Values illustration should also note: 
	"R" Unit Size is a Remnant
	Armor Value in a square is a Tank Destroyer
	Stripe on counter indicates a Green Unit

14. Ignore the 5-9-12 Tank entry in the Breakdown Table.  (There are
no such units.)

	Combat Results Table

15. Add to listed shifts: Allied Multi-Formation Attack. One to Left.

16. Add to Leader shift: ... for attacker. One to left for defender.

	Bombardment Table 

17. Add to Column Modifiers:
	One Shift Left: if target is artillery (for that unit only).
	Two Shifts Left: if target hex is Town/City OR FORTIFICATION.
	Tank receives no benefit from improved position.
(Bring into line with RED PARACHUTES.)

	Other Tables on Bombardment Table Card

18. On the Dropzone Location Table, "adj" results are the same as
"S1".

19. For "H" result on Drop Table, fractions are rounded down.

	Allied Setup Card

20. Players may wish to note that many US 36 Division units are Green.

	Rules

21. Armor Value Definition (2.1) - Add: An Armor Value can also be
used defensively as an Anti-Tank Value.

22. Mechanized Definition (2.1) - Recon units are not mechanized.

23. Motorized Definition (2.1) - All headquarters units in this game
are motorized.  The last word "motorized" is not spelled correctly.

24. Unassigned Unit Definition (2.1) - Units of an armored or airborne
formations may be considered assigned or unassigned at the owner's
option.

25. Counters (2.2) - "R" unit size is a Remnant (company size).  A
counter with a silhouette is a company size unit.

26. Initial Segment (3.1.) - In a), reference should be to 18.2, not
18.1.

27. Status Phase (3.31) - Add: Resupply artillery units (15.25).  Plan
Allied Air Drops (26.11).

28. Engineering Phase (3.32) - Add: Clear blocked roads (20.7). Repair
airfields (16.7).

29. Movement Phase (3.33) - Add: Reinforcements arrive (18.1) and
battalions may breakdown (23.1) at the begining of the Movement Phase.

30. Movement Phase (3.33) - Add to b): Move warships (25.25). Perform
naval transfers (25.3).

31. Movement Phase (3.33) - Add: d) Reform battalions (23.2). Enemy
may inspect stacks (27.31).

32. Combat Phase (3.35) - Add: f) Recover from Disruption and
Demoralization (21.31).

33. German Player Turn (3.4) - In the Status Phase from 10 September
on, roll for Artillery ammo resupply before resupplying artillery
(15.27).

34. Multiple Terrain Levels (5.11) - Basically, use the highest
terrain level in the hex.

35. Night Disruption (5.51) - Airfield repair (16.7) also causes
disruption at night.

36. River Crossings (5.6) - Assisted crossings cost foot units +2 MPs.
Note that most motorized battalions can pay the lower company costs by
breaking down and moving as companies and then reforming. (Ed. Note: I
personally think all motorized units regardless of size should be
subject to +4 MPs for assisted river crossings.  Company breakdown
basically allows all motorized units to pay +2 MPs, which means it is
cheaper to cross a river than a stream.)

37. Zero Strength Enemy Units (5.72) - Leaders are not eliminated,
instead follow procedure in 22.34.

38. Stacking Limits (6.1) - Leaders stack for free.

39. Combat and Stacking (6.3) - Companies may substitute for
battalions on a one-for-one basis for attack and defense stacking
limits.

40. Interdiction and Supply (7.1) - Supply paths are reduced by
interdiction at the same rate as German foot movement.

41. Supply Path (7.11) - The reference for shore parties should be
25.12 (not 25.13).

42. Combat (9.0) - Units may not attack into terrain prohibited for
movement.

43. Multiple Terrain Levels (9.17) - Basically, use the highest level
in the hex.

44. Step Losses (9.41) - The reference should be to 12.31 (not 12.33).

45. Retreats (9.52) - Change the word "enemy" to "friendly".

46. Standing Fast (9.54) - In each combat, the defender executes any
standfast attempt and retreats before the attacker.  The word
"reduced" is not spelled correctly.

47. Advance After Combat (9.6) - Units may not advance into terrain
prohibited for movement.

48. Length of Advance (9.61) - The word "immediately" is not spelled
correctly (between "advance" and "after").

49. Air Support (9.92) - Up to four (not three) points of ground
support can be added. (This brings things in line with 16.3.)

50. Surprise Attack Artillery (10.2) - Up to three artillery companies
can be substituted for the one battalion.

51. Superior Defending Armor (12.32) - Odds are lowered by one odds
level (not column).

52. Multiple Integrity Shifts (13.3) - Two different participating
regiments/brigades must be able to claim integrity to get a second
attacker shift.  

53. Combat Effects (14.3) - In the example box, prior to rolling for
morale, the odds are 36: 14 (not 13).

54. Artillery Resupply (15.25) - One artillery supply point
replenishes one salvo.

55. Allied Resupply (15.26) - Artillery is landed at the same time as
reinforcements.  Note this effectively means that the Allied player
cannot use landed artillery ammo until the turn after landing.

56. German Resupply (15.27) - German rolls at the begining of Status
Phase.  Thus, the German Player can make use of new ammo the same turn
it is received.

57. Air Commitment (16.1) - Players cannot allocate more points to a
mission than the maximum number shown on its allocation track.  Note
that on-map Allied air points are required to reach certain levels.

58. Interdiction (16.4) - Interdiction does not affect off-board
movement (5.8).

59. Anti-Shipping Attacks (16.5) - Anti-Shipping attacks are resolved
during bombardment phase (3.34).

60. Glider Bomb Attacks (16.6) - Glider Bomb attacks are resolved as
one-point anti-shipping attacks.

61. Assigned and Unassigned Units (17.1) - Some units can be assigned
or unassigned at the player's option.  If such units wish to be
considered assigned, they must still satisfy the normal requirements
for being assigned.  Otherwise, they must be considered unassigned.

62. Delayed Entry (18.11) - Note that instead of using delayed entry,
sometimes it is faster to arrive at 3052 and then use off-board and
strategic movement.

63. Replacement Formations (18.21) - Under 2) replace "formation" with
"division (or the Ranger Brigade)".  (Some divisions don't have a
headquarters in the game and are thus technically are not a
formation.)

64. Replacement Requirements (18.21) - Add: 5) can trace a supply path
(7.1).

65. Tank Replacements (18.23) - Delete the first sentence.

66. German Headquarters (19.13) - Add to last sentence: ... except for
normal supply (see 7.16).

67. Ranger Headquarters (19.14) - Add: (see also 7.13).

68. Strongpoints (19.3) - Add: Strongpoints do not need supply.  If
alone in combat, skip morale calculations. (see 4.1 regarding ZOC)

69. Demoralization and Movement (21.21) - Add: see also 5.52.

70. Landing Leaders (24.4) - Leaders do not have to roll for losses.

71. German Reaction (24.7) - Before any die-rolls, the German player
should check the supply status of his units.

72. Beachhead Capacity (25.12) - The Example Box should say 15 Sept
(not 16 Sept).

73. Warship Support (25.22) - A warship may spot (8.1) for itself.

74. Retreat Before Combat (27.1) - This option may not be chosen by a
strongpoint alone in combat.  Attacking units can only advance and
attempt breakthrough combat, if the defender's hex is vacated.

75. Anti-Tank Fire (27.2) - Despite what it says, AT Fire goes like
this: After bombardment, but prior to combat, the defender may use AT
Fire.  Each defender step with an AT value gets one roll on the table.
For each defender step with an AT value, pick the attacking
tank/tank-destroyer unit it wants to fire at.  Subtract the attacker's
armor value (one less for Tank Destroyers) from the defender's AT
value and cross-index with a two-dice roll.  Implement any eliminated
step results immediately.  Note that Morale Checks (14.22) are done
before AT Fire and may affect defender AT values as well as which
attackers participate.  Surprise (10.0) is also announced before AT
Fire.  Any defending step exercising a retreat before combat option
(27.1) cannot participate in AT Fire.

76. Scenario 5 (28.5) - Allied Setup, Change 2/431 eng to 2/531 eng.
Players may wish to note that many US 36 Division units are Green.

77. Scenario 6 (28.6) - German Setup, Add: In Breakdown Box - 1/79 inf.
