How much we hate to admit it, we're not perfect. Occasional slip-ups do enter our designs. While we fix these on-the-fly, people with older editions of games may be unaware of the changes.

MacArthur's War

7.2 Scope (clarification): Units may not enter the scope until they appear on the Escalation Table (mobilization excluded).  Units may enter at higher escalation levels as well.  Thus, for example, the PLA and Soviet units that are set up on the map may not enter North or South Korea until the Limited War level or later (6/9/98).

Escalation Ladder (correction): under replacement points for the Global War level, the second 1 UN should read 1 USSR.

Mobilization vs Commitment (further clarification through example): At the Police Action level it costs 1 VP to mobilize a PLA army.  At Limited War and higher, it is free.  PLA armies cannot be mobilized lower than Police Action.

At the Limited War level, it costs 1 VP to commit a PLA army. At Asian War and higher, it's free.  PLA armies cannot be committed below Limited War.

Mobilization is the act of bringing new armies onto the map in China (outside the scope) as reinforcements.

Commitment is the act of sending armies into the scope (7/8/98).

Counters (clarification): the highlighted unit symbols used for initial deployment are not very clear.  To recap, the initial deployment is as follows:

Counters and Strategic Display (correction): the NC units should be set up at full strength in Formosa (7/8/98).
