Rules Erratum - Clarification

It has been pointed out that my editing has been less than perfect in version 5.01

Having corrected the error on the playsheet - I think JD is sending it out as V 5.01a - it now turns out that I also forgot to delete a contradictory paragraph in the main rules.

The rule to be played at Leeds is as follows:

The Cohesion Test + for a general is only applicable to a BG that is in close combat if the general is with the BG, but he does not have to be fighting in the front rank.

He can also bolster a BG in close combat without fighting in the front rank.

Bruce, please can you pass this on to any entrants who don't yet have access to the board.

Further Errata

1) ???Portable Defenses??? are costed as +3 per base frontage but on page 95 where they are defined it says every base needs to pay the cost.

The former is correct. You only need to pay for stakes to cover the frontage of the BG when deployed 2 deep.

2) Despite various fossils in the rule book, shock troops only need to test not to charge. They don't need to test not to advance.
