ARMY COMPOSITION
In most army lists, one model in each unit may be upgraded to a Leader (+5 pts), one to a Standard Bearer (+5 pts), and another to a Musician (+5 pts) unless otherwise stated. Note that Elephants and War Machines may not have Leaders, Standard Bearers or Musicians. Greek units and Rise of Macedon units may not have unit standards, this also applies to Rise of Macedon army Allied units.

 

GENERALS

Army Generals: All armies must have an Army General, unless playing a special scenario. Replace the 0-1 limits with 1. In skirmish scenarios any character can be nominated as the Army General.

Page 5: Oracles
Add at the end of the section:
If a unit standard or army standard bonus applied to a hand to hand combat result then no oracles may be used to add to the Combat Result. Oracles may still be used to re-roll leadership and break tests even if standards are involved. Oracles may not be applied to skirmisher combat resolution, but may be used for re-rolls of skirmisher leadership tests.

Page 5: Xyston, Pikes & Shields
Replace the section with:
A Xyston (zees-ton) is subject to the same rules as the kontos, but will strike after a pike or a kontos. Mounted characters and cavalry from this supplement armed with xyston or kontos may not carry shields. Mounted models may not use large shields in this period, and models on foot may not combine pike with large shields.

Page 5: Macedonian and Trained Phalanx.
Delete the whole section. The rules for Macedonian and Trained Phalanxes now appear in the rulebook.

Page 5: Special Rules
Add a new section:

 

ALLIED TROOPS
In general the Alexander the Great selection lists assume that all "Allies" troops must follow army list rules and restrictions. An Allied Army General is not required for allies, but may be chosen in larger games. Here are some examples: restricted kirata bowmen could not outnumber spearmen as allies from the Mountain Indian list. The Mauryan Indian army may take Persian Noble Levy cavalry without restrictions since that unit type is listed as a single option.

 

SPECIAL RULES

Page 6: Cavalry Wedge Formation
Add a third paragraph and replace the diagram with:
A Wedge front zone is also based on the position of the first six models of the apex as shown in this diagram:

Front Flank and Rear arcs of a Cavalry Wedge
Note that wedges are formed from open order troops, but the wedge uses its special pivot move rather than turning, so the “free” turn and expansion/contraction rules for open order cavalry in the new rulebook do not apply to wedges.

Add the following clarification:
In the case of chariots ridden by characters, each character counts separately from the chariot model for purposes of counting how many models may strike back that are not in contact with the apex of the wedge. For example if a wedge of ten models strikes a unit of five Heavy Chariots that contains three characters, then the chariot in contact would fight back with the character and chariot. The other out of contact characters would count as separate models from their chariots, so the player may need to choose which models would attack in this circumstance.
If skirmishing troops charge a wedge, the wedge does not flatten out. However the wedge may only fight with models in actual contact if hit on the side or rear.

Page 9: Levies, Parthian Shot, Feigned Flight, Character on Mounts : Delete these sections. They are now covered by the main rulebook.

 

MACEDONIANS

Page 20: Alexander the Great

(Typo) Phalangites should be a category header in boldface, Hypaspists, Pezhetairoi and Agema underneath.

Page 25: Experimental Phalanx
These should be labelled (EX). The EX (experimental) label really does not mean anything. It is there to identify troops that Alexander never really used heavily in battle, but possibly planned on using in his further adventures. It is a guideline to separate the real troops from the what-ifs.
Replace the Special Rules section with:
Macedonian Phalanx. Combined Formation. At least half of the models must be taken as Archers that form the rear rank(s) of the unit. If the number of phalangites falls below 12, the unit is not considered as a Macedonian Phalanx.

Page 79: Special rules
Add the following special rule:

Optional Oracles for Greek Mercenaries: An army which does not use oracles but includes Greek Mercenaries creates a pool of oracles for the Greek's use only. The Mercenary oracle pool is determined as 1D3 + the number of hoplite units in the army, and +1 if a Polemarch or Xenagos is included. Example: If an army has 3 hoplite units, and a Xenagos, the player rolls D3+3+1 for oracles. In large games the Oracles pool can be increased by 1D3 per 2000 points.(A D3 is half a D6 rounded up).

Page 79: Xenagos
Add to the Polemarch special rules:
May be Drilled +2pts and Stubborn +3pts.
Add 0-1 before Xenagos.

Page 82: Warriors
Add to the equipment: 0-1 unit may replace javelins with slings (free).
Add to the special rules:
Lowland Tribes unit armed with spears may be fielded as close order infantry instead of Light Infantry. If this option is chosen the unit may not skirmish. Close order spearmen should be identified as being separate from formed Light Infantry units, either by using a different basing scheme or some other marking method.
All Thracian Lowland and Mountain tribesmen: Thracian Warrior units add +1 to their leadership if they are skirmishing. Thracians armed with bow or sling must skirmish. Slingers may not be the largest skirmisher infantry unit in the army.
