Can someone with more experience than I review/comment on this list of game errata?

WarPlan EBOOK Manual 1.00.19, Warplan Game version 1.00.28
1) page 19; Remove second sentence and revise “Upkeep” to note that Land/Air Units off rails/supply 9 and naval units in ports = 0.25 oil/turn with fractions rounded down (e.g. 3 units cost 0, 4 units cost 1).
2) comparing ebook table to ingame tooltip; page 39; Italian Hqs; – 1 guns.
Italian Infantry; -1 firearms as per note below page 39 table but -1 Guns and full 3 Artillery
Italian Marines; -1 firearms and -1 Guns
Italian Para; -1 firearms
Italian Mech; -1 Defense
Production costs; HQ = 100, paratroop = 180, Mountain =200
All Paratroop; antiair = 0
Soviet HQ; -1 Defense
Polish HQ; -1 firearms, -1 guns, -1 artillery
Soviet Inf Corps Large; -1 Firearms, -1 artillery as per note below table but CAN be built,
Soviet Cavalry; -1 Defense
Soviet Mtn; +1 firearms, -1 artillery
French Armor; -1 Tanks, +1 Defense
Soviet Armor; +2 oil
USA & Canadian Armor; +1 oil
Polish Armor; -1 Artillery, -1 Tanks
3) comparing ebook table to ingame tooltip; page 40; Soviet Air Superiority; -2, Tac -2, Defense; -2
4) comparing ebook table to ingame tooltip; page 41; Submarine Surface German & UK; -3, Italian & Canadian & Soviet; -4
Submarine Production cost= 120
Soviet Patrol Group surface; -1
Soviet Cruiser group surface; -1
Soviet Battle Group; -1
Soviet Carrier Naval Air; -1
5) page 43; Tank Destroyer; The rulebook says “increasing their gun values by +2”. The ingame tips says “+3 antitank”. The unit detail does not change either after application.
6) page 58; Remove 3rd sentence. Replace with; Land/Air Units off rails/supply 9 and naval units in ports = 0.25 oil/turn with fractions rounded down (e.g. 3 units cost 0, 4 units cost 1).
7) Moving the WDF to Sidi Barani on Oct 13th 1939 triggers Italy entering war as Axis (says due to Low Garrison). Intended?
Thank you for your time.

Not sure what you are asking?

Is it true or false?

Why is does this errata exist?

Can I get a little more context?

Some of those I recognize as errata from a while ago (such as the anti-tank been now -3).

Some are actually in the book and game (such as french tank).

For others it does seems they are in the game but not written as such in the rulebook. Nice find. Not sure if it is from an errata or was always like that, but the rule book has not been 100% kept up to date I think.

PS: the mention in the rules is about Italian large corps not buildable (and -1 art; -1 firearms), not Soviets, so this one is ok.


For the WDF, you now need to keep 6 UK units within 10 hexes of Cairo (it is in the scenario info I think) for Italy to stay neutral.

Sometimes I miss things between the rulebook and coding. I'll look these up. Thanks.

Thank you for above responses.
The context is my trying to learn to play Warplan (scenario Europe 1939) from scratch.
My posting intent was to see if these variations from the eRulebook version noted at the top of my posting were a) accurate and b) noted elsewhere.
I would also advise checking the Europe 1939 ingame notes as they say UK must keep "X number units in Egypt" not units within ten hexes of Cairo.
Still enjoying the game process and mechanics.
Thank you.

I am doing an update coming up for the WarPlan games. I need a concise list of what is wrong between rulebook and tooltips.

For example the 1st mention on page 19 I can't find. Otherwise I am going to spend days hunting down these erratas and verifying them. it is not an easy task.

It's wonderful Warplan still gets updates. I am playing my personal mod, based on 1.28. I do hope the notes for the next update are clear and complete so I instantly know what to update in my mod if necessary.

Changes in the txt files are easy to spot by simply doing a compare in notepad++. Map changes and changes in country stats and such are much harder to spot if not properly documented. I really want to keep my .scn file up to date
