3.0 - July 12, 1998

Besides the changes shown below, many other sections have been clarified or elaborated upon in ways which do not change rulings, and so are not listed here.

CORRECTIONS:
· Clarified spotting into cover, limits spotting to a total of 3" through cover instead of 3" into cover. Example: a unit 1" inside of woods looking accross an open space at other woods, may only see 2" into those woods.

DELETIONS:
· Deleted obsolete reference to assault movement demoralizaion.
· Deleted resurrection of dead bases during combat lulls.

CHANGES:
· Added medium and heavy machine gun modifiers to Direct Artillery Fire Chart. Added supporting text in rules. Previous rules only allowed heavy machine gun to fire in anti-tank role and then with too much effect. New ruling allows more fire at very lightly armored tanks and armored cars with less effect.
· Condition of headquarters bases now affects regimental command rolls. Each damage on a headquarters subtracts one from the command die rolls.
· Artillery: Moved mortar fire from Area Weapons chart to Direct Artillery Fire chart. This reduces the previously unrealistic mortar fire effectiveness (especially against tanks) and ties it in with related artillery modifiers.
· Added line of sight to mortar section to indirect mortar fire spotter rule.
· Renamed the Direct Cannon Fire chart. Now called the Direct Artillery Fire chart.
· Moved high velocity and low velocity weapon modifiers to individual vehicle weapons (see tank lists). Replaced that modifier on the Direct Artillery Chart with modifiers for training factors.
· Changed values on Morale Chart in order to increase retreats, routs, etc. Previous values were too high.
· Assaulting tanks may now fire their machine guns in both the fire and assault phases.

ADDITIONS:
· Added base interval limits for personnel and tank units.
· Added machine guns to list of units which are subject to being overun during an assault (see Mixed Units).
· Added rapid fire reward for direct artillery fire.
· Added light smoke rule for protection of moving units.
· Added anti-tank rifles to unit lists and rules ( 1 fire factor, 10" range).

2.02 - February 27, 1998
