RE: Guadalcanal: Jungle Rules
I suppose that the max/min modifier is the only way the Americans have a chance to weaken cave defenders in 'Guadalcanal' because then, without piling units 3 high you can still get DF in on the 7 column and hope for "snake eyes". I don't own 'Saipan 44' but from what I've read into it the Americans do have flamethrowing units to assist their assaults, which weren't available at Guadalcanal in 1942 as cave fighting was a new and unpleasant experiance for U.S. forces then. I do plan on eventually going further with the Pacific theater in PG and moving on to book supplements and 'Saipan 44' in due time. But for now I will go on with the 3rd edition rules concerning max/min DF column modifiers in handling further 'Guadalcanal' cave scenarios. As far as digging-in in jungle hexes goes I believe it is allowed now because some 'Guadalcanal' scenarios state units may begin dug-in in places where there are jungle hexes without any exceptions noted. Anyway, thanks for the input!
