Thanks for the kind words; we all appreciate them over here!

As to the aggressiveness check, the text in the book is correct, the number to
pass is a 6, not an 11.

For the sequence, our VERY big mistake by not properly adjusting the chart prior
to printing, we live and learn I suppose. We use the new sequence at cons, and
it seems to work very well.

As to the house rule you instituted on pinned movement, I spoke with Tim, and we
are likely going to go ahead and steal that from you! ;-)

them for their contributions to the hobby.

crossings, bridge seizures, patrols... you name we have probably tried it. IMHO
these rules have stood the test of time extremely well and have the right
"feel".

prone 1".) It seems to add a little more "feel" to the use of fire to pin/fix
enemy units.

on page 39 the rules state that with a modified roll of 6+ an aggressiveness
check is passed while the chart reflects the necessity of rolling an 11 or
higher to pass. Am I misreading something?
