• An infantry unit does not reduce the number of battle dice rolled.
• A cavalry unit reduces the number of battle dice rolled by 2.
• An artillery unit does not reduce the number of battle dice rolled.
Battling from Field Works:

FAQ: In the Commands & Colors Tricorne - The American Revolution game in the Living Rules dated 12/4/2018 it states that all units receive a unit symbol hit protection from ranged fire when against them through protected hex sides. However, the previous rules and the game’s Terrain Effects Charts states ranged fire unit symbol hit protection from field works, is only provided to Infantry and Artillery Units and never for ranged fire attacks by artillery. Which is correct?
A: SHORT ANSWER IS THAT IN THE LIVING RULES RULE BOOK IS DEAD WRONG.
UNFORTUNATELY, AN INADVERTENT ERROR WAS INTRODUCED IN THE 12/4/2018 LIVING RULES. THE PREVIOUS RULES AND THE GAME’S TERRAIN EFFECTS CHARTS IS CORRECT, NOT THE TEXT IN THE 12/4/2018 LIVING RULES ON PAGE 21.
THE CORRECT RULE IS - AN INFANTRY AND ARTILLERY UNIT ON A FIELD WORKS HEX IGNORES 1 UNIT SYMBOL HIT FROM RANGE COMBAT, OTHER THAN FROM ARTILLERY, WHEN THROUGH PROTECTED FIELD WORKS HEX SIDES.
STILL MORE UNFORTUNATE IS THE FACT THAT THIS SAME ERROR REGARDING FIELD WORKS WAS ALSO CARRIED OVER ONTO THE PUBLISHED RULES FOR THE JACOBITE RISING GAME, PAGES 25 & 26.
THE CORRECT RULE FOR THE FIRST BULLET UNDER FIELD WORKS PROTECTION SHOULD READ:
- AN INFANTRY AND ARTILLERY UNIT ON A FIELD WORKS HEX IGNORES 1 UNIT SYMBOL HIT FROM RANGE COMBAT, OTHER THAN FROM ARTILLERY, WHEN THROUGH PROTECTED FIELD WORKS HEX SIDES. (RB)
