RE: Guadalcanal: Jungle Rules
With regard to caves, they seem to be ever evolving in terms of how to treat them. I will say I believe the Saipan version has the better approach with assault being the only way to fire. Not sure about retrofitting back to Guadalcanal as I have not tried to compare and contrast.
With the use 2nd edition rules, you will probably make your head spin even more. Bunkers were completely dropped in the 3rd edition rules but many of the rules that played off of these were not revised, hence the larger confusion.
As for the 3rd edition rules and Guadalcanal SSR's for caves, I have treated the +3/-2 limitation of fire for the sum of all the modifiers, but individual modifiers would still apply in full. So if there was just a -3 then I would apply it, but if there was a -3, +1, -1 resulting in still a -3 then I would apply the cap. I know it is not perfect and there is some gamey issues that can be sorted out from this, but it still gets the -3 used somewhat within the DF cap.
I believe you will find that this will be different for all players up to Saipan and even then there was some clarification going one too. But it is the best approach to date.
