EDSON'S RIDGE SCENARIO SPECIAL RULES:

ER1: PTO Terrain (G.1) is in effect [EXC: the printed road exists; both Light (G2.1)(EX: J19) and Dense (G2.2)(EX: K20) Jungle exist at the same time - Dense Jungle hexes are painted with a darker shade of green].

ER2 OFF-MAP TERRAIN AND ROADS: The road that exits the North edge of the map is considered for the purposes of A2.51 to extend beyond the map edge in hexes of the same coordinate. Other off-map hexes are a mirror of their on-map counterparts. Thus most off-map edge hexes are interior jungle hexes for purposes of straying, etc. Jungle paths purchased by either player that are placed in a map-edge hex of an Eligible Entry Area are also considered to extend off-map along the same hex grain, or in hexes with the same coordinate. All on-map terrain that is not in play in a given scenario remains in effect for "off-board" movement and entry purposes during that scenario.

ER3 FIRES: Kindling Attempts are NA.

ER4 BURNT-OUT WRECKS: A Burnt-Out Wreck cannot be Scrounged, set Ablaze, or removed from play per D10.4 and is a LOS Hindrance exactly like a normal wreck.

ER5 FRIENDLY BOARD EDGE(S): The north map edge is the U.S. player's Friendly Board Edge. Should the Japanese player capture a vehicle that is subsequently recalled, it is instead Abandoned.

ER6 ENTRENCHMENTS: All Marine Entrenching Attempts suffer a +1 DRM. Marine Infantry will rout towards a Trench as if woods. Marine Infantry receive a -1 DRM to all Rally attempts in a Foxhole as if in woods. Units moving in a Trench lose concealment as if moving in woods instead.

ER7 RAIDERS: U.S.M.C. Raider squads/HS (5-5-8/2-3-8) (G17.111) are designated by a circle around the Marine insignia on the counter. Raider units (including leaders) are Stealthy. In actions involving both Raiders and other U.S. units, use leaders whose names start with letters in the first half of the alphabet for Raiders and leaders whose names start with letters in the second half of the alphabet for non-Raiders (or some other mutually acceptable convention).³

ER8 PARAMARINES: U.S.M.C. Paramarine squads/HS (5-5-8/2-3-8) (G17.111) are designated by both a circle around the Marine insignia and a parachute insignia on the counter.
