There is no new errata for RoF other than the one already in the box
(a small slip of paper).

Here are more Optional Rules for the game:

1. Air Strike (Change): No more than 3 air units may conduct an air
strike against a single target hex.  Furthermore, air strike missions
are no longer flown against an individually targeted unit, but rather
against a hex (this reflects the relatively poor targeting skills of
both sides; particularly the Soviets).  In effect, any losses due to
air strike are now absorbed by the defender with any units he chooses.
However, no enemy unit may absorb a second step loss before other
units have also absorbed a step loss from a successful air strike
mission.

2. Defensive Ground Support (New): The defender may apply 1 air unit
for defensive ground support purposes, causing a 1L shift on the CRT.
This shift applies regardless as to whether the attacker has any air
units conducting Ground Support during the attack.

3. German Recon Units (New): In the Regular Combat Segment of both the
Combat Phase and the Reserve Combat Phase the German player may - if
he is the defender - retreat with his Recon units one hex.  The German
player announces his intention to retreat a Recon unit after the
Soviet player has declared any attacks including barrages and ground
support but before German reserves are moved.
 + Both in-supply and out-of-supply Recon units may retreat.
 + A Recon unit may only retreat into a vacant hex which it could
legally enter during movement.
 + If a hex became vacant after a Recon unit retreated, some or all
(subject to stacking limits) of the attackers may advance into the
hex.
 + If a Recon Unit is part of a stack under attack, it still has the
option to retreat.  Non-Recon units however, may not retreat.
 + Should a hex become vacant by a Recon Unit's retreat, any barrage
or ground support directed at the hex are lost.
 + This special retreat option does not cost any movement points.
 + Recon units may not retreat before combat in Tank Combat.

Yes, defensive ground support is committed during step 3 (when the
reserves are committed).

Enjoy!
