That's an official rule in paper WiF now too. Only Major Powers may break-down / re-form. Although I didn't know why that errata was necessary. Maybe to keep the CW from making corps out of the Polish INF division or something.

Does this mean that Harry released the clarifications and corrections document (that Patrice and others have been working on for many months) for the WIFCon 2008? If so, is it accessible (say in PDF form) somewhere?

Harry said that the clarification / FAQ document was official and available now.
He also sent it to the WiF Con organizers, but he may have send it too late for them to print it and read it.
He said he will upload it to the ADG website as soon as possible, but this may be in a few weeks from now.
I asked Harry if I could upload it to the WiF Discussion list and French WiF discussion list egroups this morning, and he just replied to me a few minutes ago that I could go for it.
So I will be uploading this soon.

The problem grew from the interpretation that you could break down the axis minors.

Will you be uploading it to the ftp-server here as well?

Done.
I published it to the following places :
- WiF Discussion list egroup's file section.
- French WiF discussion list egroup's file section.
- Playtester's FTP, in a new folder named "Rules", in which I also uploaded the scenario book, the rulebook from ADG's website, and the latest errata from the 2008 Annual.

* The Marauder defence C



(Going for Baku, could happend after
* Western Allies declare was on Persia and Persia is aligned to GE that is at war with RU
* Western Allies declare was on Persia and Persia is aligned to JP that is at war with RU
* GE/IT has four corps in Iraq and Persia is aligned to GE/IT that also at war with RU

I think the Persian AIO may need an additional check - Caspian Sea invasion by the USSR. Otherwise anything but Capital Defence will be a near automatic defeat of Persia.

Since the new MWIF maps now have sea boxes in the Caspian, it should be possible to launch an invasion from there - right?

The USSR can setup their TRS in the Caspian together with a INF DIV. Assuming that they also setup a couple of units in the swamps North of Bandar Shah, the AIO would be likely to choose the "Border Defence B" option. (This is equally valid for the "Border Defence A" option.)

Assuming an S/O 39 DOW scenario, the USSR takes a combined in the first impulse and sails the TRS out with the DIV. In a subsequent clear impulse they DOW Persia, ground strike the CAV in Bandar Shah and then invade the Mountain hex NW of Teheran. Next impulse the DIV walks into Teheran.

I think the following check should be added:

Risk of invasion from the Caspian Sea

IF the Weather is not Fine then there is no risk of invasion (Rain will probably render a USSR DIV invasion impossible, as the TRS can only make it to the 3 Box)

IF USSR is among any of the countries at war AND has a:

Organized TRS/AMPH/SCS AND
A)
it’s in supply or can be put in supply AND
it has range to Caspian Sea the AND
there is an organized LandUnit AND
the LandUnit it’s in supply or can be put in supply AND
the LandUnit and the transporting unit can cooperate AND
the transporting unit can transport the LandUnit AND
the LandUnit can invade from the transporting unit AND
the LandUnit is on a costal hex Caspian Sea OR stack with the transporting unit
the chance of a successful invasion is > 20 %
B)
It’s in the Caspian Sea the AND
there is an organized LandUnit stack with the transporting unit AND
the LandUnit can invade from the transporting unit
the chance of a successful invasion is > 20 %

THEN

There is risk of an invasion on the Caspian Coast (This should then prompt the AIO to choose/weigh Capital Defence heavily, OR exclude the Border Defence options.)

I did not alter the % chance of an invasion, though if all the conditions are met I would think the chance to be higher than 20%.

I have just been catching up with all the developments here over the last few years and I am very impressed with both the current product and with the collaborative way it has been formed. Please keep it up.

Welcome to the forum.

The Caspian had sea boxes in WiF FE too. They are on the border of the map.
