Had my first game of ROF down the club the other night and were so impressed we rushed out to order the lucky dogs. However I just want to check we played the Campaign points correctly. On page 41 an example is given of an excess point calculation...8-3 =5. Is that 5 significant? We played it that total was the number of dice you rolled for the location plus any modifier dice.
Thanks

That's exactly right.

Hello Martyn
Each time you enter/get into an event box you get to roll a D6 +3 points. This will give results from 4 to 9 points.
The event boxes are The Men, Stores and powder, Scouting,The cause.
If for example you enter the Scouting box you can roll a D6 +3. e.g you roll a 2, then add3 gives you 5 points in your Scouting total.
When the first player gets to the Give Battle event box all campaign moving stops.
At this point players will each have a collection of points gained from the event boxes.
The player with a greater number for an event box is the only one to benefit from that box. He benefits on a 1-4, 5-12 or 13+ level (the boundaries do vary).
If for event box "Scouting" player A has 7 points and player B has only 1 point, then player A benefits from that event to the tune of 6 points (7-1=6).
player A consults page 43 and looks at the Scouting results.
Player has a score of 6 for scouting.
Thus player A looks in the 5-12 result part of the box. (The 13+ would be even better and the 1-4 being worse). This will give him 2 more nudge D6 to use toward moving scenery. In addition he has gained the ability to swap the positions of two enemy units.
Let me know if more examples would help.
I think there is an error in the rules(sorry !). The modifiers that say +2D6 mean plus 2 points etc.... not plus 2 more D6.
Thanks Martin. That makes sense. So all the modifiers on pages 42 and 43 should read +1 or +2 or -1 to the campaign points not +1D6 and so on?

You have it :)
Which just goes to show: on which other Forum could you get a very specific rules clarification from the author himself, within 20 minutes of asking?!
