    This document provides errata, clarifications, and house rules for two Operational Combat Series games about combat in North Africa between 1940-1942. It addresses incorrect or unclear rules, map entries, unit listings and setups in various scenarios. Notable changes include correcting the setup location of certain Italian units, updating the timing of a road improvement, clarifying the effects of cities and minefields, and standardizing air and port rules to be consistent with later editions of the OCS series. Over a dozen specific rules, scenarios, and unit listings are amended for accuracy and consistency with historical events.

    terrain that does affect supply draw and throw.
    2. Rule 17.0d means that bad weather no longer affects
    refit or forces air units to go inactive. To reflect
    Sandstorms and Rainstorms, no missions can be flown to
    or from maps affected.
