Attack Startup Penalty

The COMBAT Modifier table has a line item called ATTACK STARTUP. In the table it only list the Attacker's Attack as being affected.

I think this is referring to the manual on 7.2.15. SLOW START RULE -- If that is correct citation, the manual says the first round gives BOTH sides 75% penalty on dealing damage; the second gives 50%; the third round onwards is normal.

So is the table correct (just the attacker is affected), or is the 7.2.15 correct in that (both defender and attacker are affected)?

Hi balto,

I wish you had been a proof reader of the manual. The game is correct, the manual is wrong.

I am working on errata to go with the first patch as we speak.

Thanks for spotting these mistakes.

Best,
Vic

Vic,

So it only affects Attackers, thank you.

I am loving CB, I am still pouring over the details. I think this could possibly be the best wargame to have been released in several years.

+1 without a doubt.
