Errata Sheet for Volley & Bayonet Rule Book

Note: This is the original errata sheet supplied for V&B and is, apart from the scenario details below, replaced by the V&B ammendment sheet. It is included here primarily for the scenario errata.

Rules:

Morale (page 9): Units which route end their route move facing away from the enemy.

Melee Combat (page 12): Units which are forced to retreat from melee, but which do not route, end their retreat facing the enemy.

Fire Combat (page 13): All horse artillery, unless specifically noted to the contrary, fires as field guns.

Saving Throws (page 14): In the first column, the fourth line from the bottom should read "...the throws is a 4, 5, or 6 the hit does not produce a..."

Reference Chart:

Morale: The line labelled "Line meleed from flank***" should instead read "Infantry regiment stand meleed from flank***" and the footnote reference should be to an infantry regiment stand instead of a "line" as well.

Saving Throws: Ignore the question marks following several of the entries. Add to the entry for "All troops" the following: "and from fire if in woods."

Scenarios:

Brandywine American Withdrawal (page 40): American troops may voluntarily withdraw off the east (not west) table edge.

Austerlitz Deployment (page 55): The French deployment should read, "The French may deploy their troops anywhere northwest of the Goldback or Bosenitz streams and anywhere on the southeast side within 6 inches of the streams. For purposes of deployment, the northwestern branch of the Bosenitz is used."

Austerlitz Map (page 57): The road entry points are not labeled, but should be. The roads on the east edge of the map and north of the Littawa River should be labeled (from north to south) A-1 through A-6. The roads on the west edge of the map should be labeled (from north to south) F-1 through F-3. The road leading off the south edge of the map from Telnitz is road F-4.

Salamanca Deployment (page 62): Note that the Allied Army may be deployed anywhere behind the Allied Deployment Line.

Salamanca Map (page 63): There are two French 3rd Divisions listed. The southernmost one is actually the 8th Division.

First Manassas Battle Map (page 78): The four entry points are not labeled, but should be in accordance with the following diagram. The map compass orientation should match that shown on the campaign map on page 79.

(There is a printed map in the actual errata sheet, but I'm not sure how to reproduce it here. Point A is on the north table edge approximately 18 inches in from the west edge. Point B is on the north table edge approximately 18 inches in from the east edge. Point C is on the south table edge approximately 6 inches in from the east edge. Point D is on the east table edge approximately 42 inches down from the north edge.)

This should answer most of Steve Alvin's questions. As to saving throws, flanking attacks negate one saving throw per casualty, not total.
