Official Errata
Armies of the War of the Spanish Succesion and the Great Northern War
Holstein Gottorp
Dragoons - dismounted: Steps should be 1
Dragoon Guards: Steps should be 1, Squadrons should be 2
Dragoon Guards - Dismounted: Steps should be 1
Jacobite Highland Army
The cavalry maximum of 8 units is incorrect. It should be 1/8a-e.
Ottoman Empire
Jannisary Options - Downgrade to Small "Brigade": CC Line should be 3/2
Poland-Lithuania
The following text from the army list:
The Army list can also be used to represent the private
armies raised by different nobles in rebellion against the King,
siding with for instance the Swedes, or the Lithuanian army. In either of
these cases no units of guard status may be used, and the ratio of Hussar
Regiments should be changed from 1/2 Pancerny units to 1/4. Also only
generic commanders and/or Jan Kazimierz Sapieha, the Lithuanian Grand
Hetman – who allied with the Swedes, may be used in this case.
should be changed to:
The Army list can also be used to represent the Lithuanian army or
one of the "irregular/smaller" armies participating in what became
the civil war. In either of these cases no units of guard status may be
used. The ratio of Hussar Regiments should be changed from 1/2 Pancerny
units to 1/10. The number of Jazda Lekka should be increased from 1/4
Pancerny to 1/2. Also only generic commanders and/or Jan Kazimierz Sapieha,
the Lithuanian Grand Hetman – who allied with the Swedes, may be used in
this case.
Russia Main Army
Life Squadron: CC Column should be 2
The full strength Streltzy units FP and CC values are wrong. They should be: FP 4/3/2 1/1/1, CC 13/9/7 1/1/1 - 17 points
--- Streltzy update
I have recently started doubting that streltzy used pikes. So therefore
the players may chose how to equip them (although the same choice should
apply to all):
Streltzy unit with pikes: LevyP, FP line 2/2, CC Line 8/6, 11
points
Full strength Streltzy unit with pikes: LevyP, FP line 4/3/2,
CC Line 13/9/7, 17 points
Streltzy unit without pikes: Levy, FP line 4/3, CC Line 6/4, 10 points
Full strength Streltzy unit without pikes: Levy, FP line 6/4/3, CC Line
10/7/5, 15 points
Savoy-Piedmont
Allies: Now it says 0-25%: none. There should of course be no percentage to this.
Saxony
Cavalry column values are incorrect, they should be as follows:
Cuirassiers 3sqn: 4/3
Cuirassiers 2sqn: 3
Garde du Corps: 4/3
Dragoons 3sqn: 3/2
Dragoons 2sqn: 2
Sweden – Main army
Dragoons (j)
Change Max # from 1/4h to 1/1h.
Change TQ from Veteran to Trained
Change Points from 29 to 21
If so desired these may be split like the cavalry units; use the data in Sweden – Provincial armies, “Mercenary Dragoons or Ståndsdragoner” (i).
Sweden – Provincial armies
Indelta Dragoons (o)
Change Max # to 2
Also, up to 2 units of infantry types a, b, d or f may be converted to musket armed only at any type in the same way as any German or Baltic infantry may be converted after 1705.
6lb VLA use fire ranges as LA
Rationale behind Swedish errata:
The Swedish main army list does not cover the use of dragoons nearly as well as it should. The amount allowed is only correct up to the battle of Kliszow – which is a bit too limited. Also all dragoons in the army – except the guard dragoons (Livdragonregementet) are mercenary or so called “ståndsdragoner”. In the Provincial army list these are classed as trained, and there is no reason why they shouldn’t be that in the main army list as well.
Indelta Dragoons – well it was actually only half a regiment for most of the time. So allowing for more than two units (i.e. four companies) is not really correct.
There appear to have been a few units armed with only muskets before 1705. By allowing up to 2 units in all armies before that time most occurrences should be adequately covered.
Main Rules
Initiative Determination
In the section on Initiative the rules state that the Army Commanders Leadership Value is added to the roll. This is incorrect. It should be the Army Commanders Initiative Value.
Fire Phase
(Add the following).
After rolling for Receiving Casaualties for a unit, its casualty markers
are removed. Markers are never kept from turn to turn.
Step Loss
The rules state that a single unit can only suffer one step loss during a turn. The correct wording should be "during a single Fire Phase".
The Play Aid Sheet in the Gå På rulebook
Broken Units
The “Broken Units” heading in the play sheet should be “Fleeing units”.
Units in Redoubts
Change to the following: They also ignore Pull Back results, becoming disordered instead.
The Flag Sheet in the rulebook
Russian Guards
On the flag sheet delivered together with the rules, one of the Preobrashenskij guard flag is described as the 1702 version. That is a typo. It should read 1712.
Some clarifications
Formation Changes
A formation change takes one entire move to perform. No other movement is permitted. If a unit is disordered when performing a formation change it will still be disordered in the new formation. A formation change does not in itself affect a unit’s ability to fire in the fire phase. This means an artillery battery that unlimbers in the Orders phase may fire in the Fire phase.
Dragoons
Mounting and Dismounting is considered formation changes, and as such takes up the entire move of one turn to perform. Dragoons may start the battle either mounted or dismounted. Dismounted Dragoons use the fire ranges of the appropriate infantry type.
