RE: Guadalcanal: Jungle Rules
I just dug out the old and dusty 2nd edition rule book and found something that has been omitted in the 3rd edition rule book and annotated rules here; a section on bunkers. This states that that the maximum negative modifiers are ignored and a total of (-3) applies to DF against them. The term "cave" is not used. In the 'Guadalcanal' scenario book it states that caves recieve an additional (-1) DF modifier along with the benefits of an entrenchment but nothing about the maximum negative modifier. This is confusing as to how the 3rd edition rules sit with this since neither bunkers or caves are mentioned. I understand that 'Saipan 44' is a 3rd edition game and that caves are treated entirely different there as only assaults may be made; no DF or indirect fire allowed by either side. So how to treat a 2nd edition game, 'Guadalcanal' in accordance with 3rd edition rules; soon to be 4th edition? I've played the first three scenarios from 'Guadalcanal' uneasy about only allowing the maximum of -2 DF against caves but went ahead anyway but want to get it right before I go any further will the full Tulagi scenario. To the point -should 'Guadalcanal' caves and only 'Guadalcanal' caves be treated as bunkers with the exception of the standard maximum/minimum column modiers?
