Later 80YW Dutch - page 8

1, French Allies 'only from 1621to1639' should read 'only from 1621 to 1639' .

2, More importantly, Field Fortifications is missing Points per Base, should be 3.

Later Imperial Spanish

1, Page 12. Caballos corazas; Army of Flanders only from 1635. Determined Horse, Armoured, Average, iPistol, mPistol are listed as 12 per base. Points cost in main rules add up to 15 per base by my count.

2, Page 14 in the Allies list, same as above.

Thanks Timmy. I had spotted the Spanish cavalry one. Will issue an errata sheet after we collect a few more errata.

I will see what I can do. :)

It should be issued before the RollCall army list deadline I believe.

Page 17, Early 17th Century French.

Under Allies it says "Mantuan allies(only from 1628-1631) - Early Thirty Years' War German Catholic". The notes for that list and the list itself do not indicate that it covers Mantua.

Page 32, Early Thirty Years' War German Catholic Allies. The GC/FC/TC allied commander options are priced 80/50/35. They should be 70/40/25.

Page 35. Hungarian-Transylvanian.

Haiduks or Szekler Foot; Medium Foot, Unarmoured, Average, Musket, Swordsmen are listed as 7 Points per base. I make it 8.

Page 97. Later English Civil War Royalist.
Horse, total amount is listed as 16-42. You have to have them in fours.

Drats - Mick you beat me to that one... and after what you said at Britcon.

Page 65 - heading says Scots Covenantor, as does the coloured border. The Index lists them as starting on Page 65. However all of these are incorrect. They start on P66. P65 is Thirty Years War Peninsular Spanish. This is an army I am THRILLED to see. Biggest ommission from DBR and what my PoW Spanish will now become.

However there is a teenie-weenie error.

"Temporary" or "Auxiliary" tercios Only before 1637 HF, Armoured, Poo, Pike Pike are listed as 3 per base. I make it 4. I hope they ARE 3 points per base as it makes the list more interesting.

Just noticed that on the same page there are 3 HF Pike Pike lines with no Quality given. From the 'no mixed quality BGs rule' I surmise that they should all be Average. One has Blank and the other 2 have '-'. Let me know if you need me to point it out more precisely.

Are they really 'poo?!!'??

timmy1 · Post by **timmy1** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 6:14 am

B

On the basis that quality generally gets abbreviated to Sup or Ave (for example), Poor becomes Poo which is evocative (I learnt this from Phil Powell, along with other bad habits...)

Page 81, Confederate Irish. It has FC 0-3, and nothing for TC. All the other lists seem to have FC 0-2, and TC 0-3, so I presume that is what is meant here.

This doesn't bear on the rules so you might want to skip this but there's an error in the history section of the Early Thirty Years' War German Catholic list: IIRC by the Golden Bull of Prague, the Duke of Bavaria didn't have an electoral vote until he gained the Palatine vote from his Wittelsbach cousin (much as the Emperor had transferrd the Wettin votein the mid C16th).
The Electoral College had three Catholics (Bishops of Mainz, Trier and Cologne), two Lutherans (Saxony and Brandenburg), and the King of Bohemia. The last was only amember of the college for the purpose of electing the Emperor and the throne of Bohemia was itself elective. The Palatine Elector as King of Bohemia would have had two votes.
Catholics might dread a Protestant majority in the college, the Lutherans equality of Calvinists; The Bavarian branch had a longrunning feud with the Palatine branch and the Habsburgs reason enough to be miffed at being kicked out of Bohemia.
The legal situation was difficult because, in the event of a dispute between the Electors, the Emperor was to be arbiter; if the Emperor was himself a party, the Elector Palatine was to decide the case ....

Correcting my clever-clogs self here but, of course, Barandenburg's Elector, at least, had been Calvinist since 1613. So there were already two Calvinist votes and there threatened to be three. Repairing my greenhouse here

[quote="rbodleyscott"][quote="jonphilp"]I have just started to use FOG R and I am enjoying the rule set.it is the best set I have seen covering this period. With my interest rediscovered in this period, I am looking to build an army from "Wars of Religion" and am looking at the Early Louis XIV army . Can someone confirm if the Cavaliers in this list should be classed as impact mounted/Swordsmen as in the main army list or Impact mounted /melee pistol as stipulated in the starter army and French Allied list.[/quote]

I am surprised that nobody has picked up on this before.

Another one for the errata, once Nik clarifies his intentions.[/quote]

The man from Del Monte says - Swordsmen.

[quote="rbodleyscott"][quote="timmy1"]The Early Thirty Years' War German Catholic Allies allows GC option in addition to FC/TC. It is the only list in Companion 1 that allows this. What is that meant to represent? Two ICs make for an interesting game.[/quote]

A cut and paste error, sadly. As the points values indicate.[/quote]

I want Timmy to check my own business account, he's got a special gift to find errors

25MM based figures using 1" MU's can not clear an artillery base if they start behind it.
25mm artillery is 80MM deep, MF can only move 75MM.

15MM players don't have this issue as their move will easily clear a 60MM arty base.
I would imagine the 40MM MU's do not have this problem either.

Thanks, but could we please try to keep rules errata items in the appropriate thread.
