IDF ERRATA
By
Alan R. Arvold
The following errata was originally published in the
Boardgamer Magazine Vol.7, #3. It has since been updated with
some new additions. This errata should be considered to be
unofficial until approved by the game designer Jim Day.
Rule 1.2.1 Combat Units: second sentence should read - Israeli
units are light blue and the Arab units are green.
Rule 1.2.3 Artillery Markers: second sentence should read -
Israeli markers are light blue and Arab markers are green and are
on opposite sides of the same markers.
Rule 4.5.1 A spotted (MOVED) marker example: sentence above
example should read - This Centurion unit is marked to show it
can be spotted because it moved.
Rule 14.4.1 Finding the GP Factor: second sentence - The word
unhit should be unit.
Rule 20.1.3.3.1.3 Dropped Weapon Example: Second Sentence - The
term F-111 should be F-4E.
Standard Scenario Two:
Match Up 2 - Attacking Side
Israelis have a point total of 772 points, not 768 as printed.
Standard Scenario Three:
Match up 2 - Victory Conditions:
Second sentence should read as follows: To win, one side must
have 80 or more victory points than the other side.
Standard Scenario Four:
Match Up 2 - In the first sentence replace the word Syrian with
Egyptian.
Attacking Side - Egyptians have a point total of 952 points, not
1103 as printed. Alternately the Egyptian player could add an
(Att) 8th Motorized Infantry Platoon which would be identical to
the 4th. The point total for the Egyptians would then be 1103 as
printed.
Historical Scenario One:
C. Opposing Forces - Israeli 7th Armored Brigade
6th Armored Infantry Platoon: 1 x 2 Squad Standard Infantry
(ISR-6A) should read 1 x 1/2 Squad Standard Infantry (ISR-6A)
Historical Scenario Two:
C. Opposing Forces - Attacking Force
Air Expansion adds 334 points, not 262. (The original total is
for a Crack Air Assault Platoon without "Squad Plus". The new
total reflects a Crack Air Assault Platoon with "Squad Plus".)
Defending Side
The correct point totals should read - 1430 points (Ground
Expansion adds 317 points, Air Expansion adds 291 points). Note
that these new totals do not change the point values on the
Counter Attack Point Adjustment Chart in Section B.
There is no missing 12th Platoon in the Defending Side. (A unit
sequence numbering error that was not caught before the rule book
was printed.)
Historical Scenario Four:
C. Opposing Forces - Attacking Force
Air Expansion sentance should have a black triangle after the
word Expansion.
4th Armored Infantry Platoon: CO with 2 Squad should read CO with
1/2 Squad. 1 x 2 Squad Standard Infantry (ISR-6A) should read 1 x
1/2 Squad Standard Infantry (ISR-6A).
5th Armored Infantry Platoon: CO with 2 Squad should read CO with
1/2 Squad. 1 x 2 Squad Standard Infantry (ISR-6A) should read 1 x
1/2 Squad Standard Infantry (ISR-6A).
Historical Scenario Five:
C. Opposing Forces - Attacking Force
Air Expansion sentence should have a black triangle after the
word Expansion.
B Tank Company - Extra Equipment should be 4 x mineplows, not 3.
D. Victory Conditions: Hill 8J4 contains the following hexes:
8J4, 8J5, 8K5, and 8K6. To win, one side must have 160/210/245 or
more points than the other side.
Historical Scenario Six:
C. Opposing Forces
Attacking Force has a basic point total of 1680 points, not 1496.
Defending Force has a basic point total of 1032 points, not 1044.
Historical Scenario Seven:
Attacking Force - Ground Expansion adds 428 points, not 429.
Historical Scenario Eight:
Attacking Force has a basic point total of 2011 points, not 1989.
Attacking Force - The 13th Ground Attack Flight (-) should be the
14th Ground Attack Flight.
Game Card:
Air Acquired Ranges Chart: Speed/Altitude Matrix Columns - The
first column should be LL and the second column should be LM.
Game Card:
GP Combat Results Table: Effects Box; S: "Suppressed".
Information Card:
Marker Abbreviation and Meanings Section: Smoke (*) and
Suppressed (*) Subsection - The word idicates should be
indicates.
Data Card ARB-2B: Unit Counter illustration should have the
T-34/85 Medium Tank in it, not a T-54/55 Medium Tank as pictured on the card. The identification numbers for the T-34/85 Medium
Tank counters are correct though.
Data Card ARB-11A: The Unit Counter illustration for the Saracen
APC and AOP vehicles should be the Saracen, not the Saladin
Armored Car as pictured on the card. The identification numbers
for the Saracen vehicles are correct though.
