Amazon UK having finally delivered D&G, I have been reading through it twice this past 2 weeks or so. At this point I would usually be opening up the errata thread and listing all the errors I have found and complaints I have about the lists.

This time (other than the slight 1683 Siege of Vienna oddities at 800 points already noted) I can't find a single mistake despite reading all the lists twice. I don't always agree with all the interps but not really my period. Certainly none of the lists are that far off that I can make a case for an errata. The armies are interesting but look generally balanced - Post 1675 Danish is not the army of choice as it might be in other rules. It has got me rebasing figures that have sat for years as I want to try these armies.

FoG:R team take a bow, the best book of any part of FoG. It will take something to top this.

If anyone does find an errata requirement, post it here.

Later Louis XIV French line cavalry has an * indicating you don't need a minimum of 8 if in spain but the subbox for the superiors has an 8 without an *, implying 8 superiors are still required in Spain.

p. 36 Habsburg Austrian Imperial

German Infantry Contingents
Only from 1689, BGs are 6 bases but the maximum is 16.

p. 77 Hungarian Kuruc Rebellion Allies

Haiduks or similar foot
Medium foot maximum is 16 but the maximum for all Haiduks is 12.

The Later German States can have up to 2 allied contingents but no mention is made of whether or not troops chosen for allied contingents reduce the minima / maxima in the main list or not.

For example, if you have an allied German state contingent with a BG of 4 horse and a BG of 6 foot does that reduce the respective main list minima to 0 bases for horse and 12 bases for foot? Or, could you field a force with 8 guns (4 bases maximum for the main state and 2 bases for each of the 2 allied contingents)?

They probaby should. But I will await Nik's comments before issuing an erratum.
