Here are some errata from the new version of Book 2.
This first lot are errata carried over from the first edition which weren't addressed...
2/4 – Warring States Chinese: Does Han count as “rebel”? That is, can Han Hsin have Peasant Rebels in 206BC?
2/5 – LHG: Reference to Taras (permitted allies) should be changed to Tarantine (also in permitted allies) to avoid confusion – some people don’t realise they mean the same city.
2/6 – Bithynian: When do Heraclian allies change from LHG to Hellenistic Greek? Before the 265BC change in the Bithynian list, at the same time, or after?
2/9 – Syracusan: Is it intended that Syracusans’ Numidian allies can use Ps (S), in direct contrast to Early Carthaginians’ Numidian allies?
2/12 – Alexandrian Mac: Is it intended that Pk (O) generals can’t be re-graded as Ax (O) the way Phalangites can be?
2/23 – LPIA: Can you mix nomad and non-nomad troops in one army?
2/27 – Pyrrhic: Can Italians available from 280BC be used when creating a Pyrrhic allied command for Syracusans?
2/28 – Gordyene: Does this army get higher aggression factor from 83BC to 69BC?
2/30 – Galatian: Do Thessalian Cv (O) count towards total of non-chariot Cv (O) for calculating number of Cv (I)?
2/31 – Hellenistic Greek: Can an army mix forces from different cities? If so, how are they organised? If not, why are some options specified as being available only for certain cities if C-in-C while others are available for just the city? Otherwise, what’s the significance of the statement about the availability of Aitolians?
2/42 – Tamil and Sinhalese: Do Pallavas count as Tamil or Sinhalese? What about Chola? Or are Sinhalese a stand-alone option within the list?
2/62 – Abyssinian and Horn of Africa: Is mixing of Christian and Muslim options allowed? Do Axumites and Solomonids count as Christian or Muslim?
2/63 – Three Kingdoms: How are Temporary Towers supposed to be deployed? Do they need a BUA (presumably not)? But if not, and they’re instead limited to deployment zones (as non-BUAs require) how can they possibly permit shooting into an enemy camp, given even artillery couldn’t shoot that far?
2/72 – Early Frankish etc: Patrician Roman allies for Suevi can’t include mounted elements, but mounted generals are compulsory in the Patrician Roman list. How do we resolve this?
2/75 – Paekche Korean: Japanese allied Uji Pk (X) spearmen are listed as “1 to 2-3 per 3 Uji Bw…” which is nonsensical. Referring to the original Japanese list, it should probably be “1-2 per 3 Uji Bw…”
2/81 – SRB: Firstly, how many Companions can an SRB ally have in Patrician Roman list? 2-4? Or should these numbers be reduced in accordance with the rules covering ally contingents to just 1? Secondly, should Armoricans have access to the FW, or only British? Thirdly, should Armoricans have access to Frankish allies after 496 (end of Early Frankish list)?
= = = =
On top of that, there are errors which have appeared in the new list books, thanks to changes which have been made.
2/5 – LHG: What is Thessalian “Irr Sx (S) @ 4AP” in the hoplites section?
2/10 – Camillan Roman: As each troop selection is of a single number of elements, why are there two overlapping ranges for downgrading hastati and principes from 340BC?
2/20 – Ptolemaic: In 275BC the army has no Macedonian Phalangites or peltasts/Thureophoroi.
