Afrika Korps: The Desert War

Special Rule 4. Terrain. Salt Marsh: In the fourth sentence replace "Subtract two from..." with "Add two to..."

Surrender Rule -- Certain units listed in the special rules of some scenarios are subject to elimination through the surrender rule. The surrender rule is triggered whenever an active, undemoralized enemy unit with direct fire values starts its activation adjacent to or in the same hex with one or more demoralized units that are subject to elimination through the surrender rule. At that time, the inactive player must roll two dice, and if the result is higher than the current morale of his highest-morale unit in the subject hex, ALL units and leaders in the hex (whether demoralized or not) immediately surrender and are eliminated. If the result is equal to or lower than the morale of the unit with the highest current morale in the subject hex, there is no surrender and the inactive units are unaffected. The active units that forced the surrender roll can take all normal actions during their activation, whether the enemy units surrendered or not.

In practice, a moving tank (or other moving unit) can't force enemy units to surrender, because a unit can only force enemy units to surrender at the beginning of its activation (before it moves or fires).

The British Army needs the Bishop tank added to the OOB. This counter came with this game!

Giarabub Garrison setup: in the third sentence replace "1610" with "1510."

IT begins in 2416, not 2616.

The Italian AT ditch stops one hex short of the southern map edge. I really don't know if this is intentional or not. It materially changes the scenario if it is filled in all the way or not. I played as written, but I suspect it is incorrect.

Setup calls for 5 Italian Capitani; there are only 4 in the counter set. Suggest adding a Maggiore to replace the missing Capitano - too bad he stands a good chance of this being a tombstone promotion......

German OOB has a total of 7 x LT. Replace 1 LT with a SGT. (AfKo only has 6 LTs)

In the Italian set up replace "3 x L3/35" with "2 x L3/35" and replace "7 x L3/35" with "3 x L3/35."

In the setup there are several Italian setup hexes that are over stacked. In all over stacked hexes select one unit to setup in any open adjacent hex. The hexes are 2013, 2213, 2113, 1312, 1412

Replace "2603" with "2403" in the setup.

In the 8th Machinegun Battalion leader list replace "5 x LT, 1 x SGT" with "3 x LT, 3 x SGT".

Setup Instructions Error, Part One The instructions call for the placement of a line of north-south (##18) "no set up or entry" hexes, and further stipulate that units may not be "south" of this line of hexes. With it being a north-south line, they must have meant no setup or entry EAST of that line.

Setup Instructions Error, Part Three.

The instructions call for the Australian side to place entrenchments in 2 hexes (2520 and 2624) that are OFF the north edge of the map board. Suggest that these two entrenchments should be placed in Hexes 2410 and 2415, instead.

The Victory Conditions are in error. Ignore reference to S4. There is no 'S4' entrenchment hex. Therefore VC's referring to hex control should state S6,S7,S8 and S9

Entrenchment S8 should set up in hex 1920

In my printing of the Scenario Booklet the visibility is listed as 1830-1945 for full, 12-hex visibility. This is probably a typo which was meant to have 1830-1845 for 12-hex visibility. Note turn 1900 has 8-hex visibility; 1915 4-hex; and so forth.

Visibility dropping beginning at 1900 is also consistent with Sc #32 which occurs only two days prior to Sc #38.

The hill marker should be placed in hex 1225 (not 1215).

The stretch of Wire from 1830-834 should read 1830-1834

Axis reinforcement times are desynced from their turn indicator by 1 hour. I used the turn number rather than the listed time.

This scenario requires that you either own two sets of counters as there are not enough L3/35 and TEN counters OR you substitute other tank types for the Italian L3/35 shortage and other Leader ranks for the TEN leader counter shortage to play this scenario.

There is only 4 Capitanos instead of 6 that the scenario calls for.

Two British infantry have their full strengths printed on the back. They should both be "2-3" when reduced.

This is an armored car.

Two 105mms (ID#s 1204, 1205) have "16-31" fire values in black (direct fire), when they should be in white (indirect fire).

The Pz IVe appearing in the original Panzer Grenadier game had an Anti tank value of 4-7. As of Afrika Korps (2002), continuing onward through the 3rd and 4th edition games, the anti tank value has been 4-4.

The morale and combat modifiers of German Sergeant #1614 should be "0", not "8".

This leader should have a morale of "9" and a modifier of "0" instead of the other way around.

Four counters (ID#s: 1502 to 1506) have the incorrect NATO symbol (infantry in lieu of armor).
