WWII Global 2nd Edition error in map version 3.7 (China and Convoy Raiding)

Two problems with this.

#1.  It’s not noted on page 10, it’s noted on page #20.

#2. These are not the most current convoy disruption rules, as used by most players, and as outlined by Larry Harris.

No exception is made by Larry in the latest version of convoy disruption.

Specifically

Below are the convoy disruption rules as written by Larry for Alpha 3+, that are widely used and accepted by tripleA users.

No mention of China is made.  Which means China, by these rules, is subject to convoy raiding.

If you read the rulebook, the entire convoy raiding system is different.  (1IPC for each surface ship, 2 IPC for each sub).

Convoy Disruptions

Convoy Disruptions are conducted during phase 6: Collect Income of the turn-player’s turn.

Three conditions that must exist for this kind of attack to occur:
1. Sea zone must have “Convoy Symbol” image.
2. Sea zone must be adjacent to one or more of your controlled islands or territories.
3. At least one warship belonging to a power with which you are at war must be in the sea zone. Note: Air units on an aircraft carrier can conduct convoy disruptions, but the carrier itself does not roll any dice.

Each carrier based aircraft, including jets (see the optional rule Research & Development) rolls 2 dice. Submarine including Super submarines (again, the optional rule) rolls 2 dice.
All surface warships, except an aircraft carrier, rolls 1 die.
All rolls of 3 or less are counted. This total is the number of IPCs the turn player will lose due to convoy disruption(s).

Some examples:
Sub rolls 2 dice. The numbers rolled on each die are 3 and 1.

The 3 and 1 are counted because they are both dice rolls of 3-or-less.

The 3 and 1 are added together for a total of 4 points of damage.

Second Example
Sub rolls 2 dice. The numbers rolled are 6 and 1.

The 6 is higher than 3-or-less so it is not counted. Only the 1 (being 3-or-less) can be counted.

Only 1 point of damage.

Another example:
A sub rolls 2-threes. That’s 6 hits.
A subs rolls 2- twos. That’s 4 hits
A sub rolls 1-four and 1-six. Both die are higher than 3, they are therefore not counted. There are no hits.

Note: A disrupted convoy can’t lose more IPCs than the total IPC value of controlled territories or islands adjacent to the sea zone, and each territory may not lose more than its IPC value to more than one disrupted convoy.

As the player collects his income (Phase 6: Collect Income) the total amount of convoy disruption is subtracted from his normal income.

See this link for details.

I have Pacific 1940 2nd ed. game that I bought in May '13 or thereabouts. Convoy rules are on pp. 22-23. They read like the Europe/L.Harris rules that Gargantua has cited: units roll dice, 2 for a/c and subs, and 1 for others. Rolls of “3” or less are tallied, etc. Exactly like my Europe '40 2nd ed. rulebook in game I purchased the same day.

The Pac. '40 2nd ed. rulebook in A&A.org / Resources section is like the one that came with my game.

I did look at Avalon Hill site for Pac. '40 2nd ed. rulebook and it reads the way that Gargantua is citing for Pacific rules, units do an amount of convoy ipc damage without rolling dice. Looked again at cover of that book, however, and it does not indicate “2nd Edition”. Seems like a bad link at AH site. Rulebook link on Pacific '40 2nd ed. page opens 1st ed. book?

Also confirmed that my Pacific rulebook on pg. 10 says that China is not subject to convoy disruption, as P@nther previously noted.
