Army List Errata

Just thought it may be useful for people to flag any possible errata for the army lists in one place - perhaps a moderator could make this sticky?

One I know has been pointed out on one of the FoG Yahoo lists:

Rise of Rome, page 18 in the Gallic list the LF Javelinmen in the main list and allied list should have Javelins shooting capability.

Good call Nik.

Italian Condotta - Venetian Stradiots - fielded as Cavalry they retain a shooting capability with javelins? I didn't think that was possible? And the points look wrong to me but as I don't have my rules yet I can't be certain.

Thanks Pete, they should not have javelins capability - take that away and the points are correct.

Anglo-Irish typo?

Just having a quick scan through "Storm of Arrows" and I see on P 30, Anglo-Irish, the Galloglaigh have a shooting capability of -3.

Is this to represent their legendary skill at "dodge-ball" in avoiding incoming missiles, or the minor shooting effect of hurling potatoes at their opponents? :lol:

I really can't believe it it could be so mundane as to be a typo.... :roll:

Regards

Dodge-ball as potatoes had not been introduced to Ireland at this date :lol:

Hi Nick,
it would be a good thing if you edit your first post in this topic to have a list of errata confirmed. :wink:
After, if you want, I could create a pdf to download and to print it. :wink:

No need. The errata will be posted on the official FoG site.

OK, it will be perfect. And when do you think this errata and the faq will be posted ? :oops:

Thank you Richard. It's a great thing than you are so close with the players. :D

Swiss page 60. knights and men-at-arms, bases per BG states 4-8. Should this be 4-6.

Probably as there are no other 8 base BGs - however, it is always possible that we had a reason and there is nothing that says you can't have an 8 base mounted unit.

It may be a "feature" of the list :lol:

Hmm, let me think, an 8 base average BG that costs a mere 168 points. Somehow I don't see it as a game breaker, infact I challenge anyone to try using it and do well.

No imagination it can be easily featured in a 2400 point game.

a small typo - in Storm of Arrows, page 17 - the WoTR list. The Mercenary Handgunners have Protected as a Troop Type when it should be an armour class.

Medieval Castillian, page 81, Javelinmen, Medium Foot, Unprotected, Poor. The U has been missed off Unprotected.

No matter how many times you check, double check, and recheck again there are always typos that slip through. It is really frustrating, isn't it?
