Scenario Errata page
I haven't played hundreds of scenarios in ASL, but I recently found out that the ones I DID play have allmost all been revised in the last few years. This might not seem a big deal until you find that one side suddenly has revised victory conditions or one side gets a few extra support weapons here or there...
Most errata is published on the website of their company that published the scenario pack, but that involves a lot of browsing on (most of the time) not too well organised web pages. So for your conveniance and mine I have collected the errata for the most often played scenarios on this page. I you have any that you feel are missing, then don't hesitate to mail me.
These scenario errata include changes made in scenarios included in "For King and Country" and "Beyond Valour 3rd edition". Please note that MMP has recently made available their own 'official' scenario errata page, which is very hard to find on the MMP website but is located here.

J3-J2 + replace the US 9-1 with a 9-2.
Scenario CH 4 ("Steutzpunkt Vierville")

2. The Be5 overlay should be placed Be5: 5O5-5O6 on D7-D6
3. SSR 4 should read: Tanks may not enter a Level 1 hill hex from any Level 0 hex that is west of hexrow I.
Scenario CH 7 ("Prelude to Breakthrough") There should be 16 German concealment counters.
Scenario CH 8 ("The Predators") Special Rule #5 on page 16, Infantry Category B is a Russian HMG and a .50cal HMG. A total of two machine guns are available to the Russian player choosing this category.
Scenario CH 9 ("Breakthrough to Kozani") Special Rule #1 should read "EC are Moderate with no wind at start. Kindling fires is NA."
Scenario CH 25 ("Land of the Khan") The Japanese set up should reference SSR 5, not SSR 4.

"Elements of the 4th Division, Soviet Konarmiya Army enter on Turn 1 on/-adjacent to hex 43Y1."
Scenario CH55 ("Lighter Than A Feather") The name comes from that most Japanese of sayings: "Duty is heavier than a mountain; death is lighter than a feather."
1) The Marines set up in hexes numbered <=4.
2) Yes, the Japanese Cave Complex is double normal size, i.e. "<= 4 hexes from 15AA6".
Scenario CH 56 ("The Stalingrad of Kursk") Replace the history section with the following:
Ponyri, Russia, July 9, 1943: Among the many fierce battles of Kursk some of the fiercest fighting occurred around and in the tiny agricultural village of Ponyri. The fighting was likened by both sides to a miniature Stalingrad. Along the railway running from Orel to Kursk its importance was a collection and distribution point for the collective farms in the vicinity. For 6 days this village became the focal point of immense efforts by both sides. Units of the 292nd Infantry Division had captured the railway embankment on the opening day but the struggle for control of the settlement was sucking in large numbers of German units. To support the 292nd General Model fed in the 9th & 18th Panzer and the 86th Infantry divisions. The Soviets responded in kind, feeding in more artillery, mortars and howitzers. In Ponyri itself, ferocious hand-to-hand fighting took place with heavy fire support from tanks, artillery, and SP guns, as both sides contested the village. From July 6-9 a see-saw struggle for control of the schoolhouse, tractor depot, railway station and water tower took place. German massed tank attacks impaled themselves on minefields and were shattered by the massed fire from T-34s, anti-tank guns, and tank hunting units with their anti-tank rifles and Molotov cocktails. Although the Soviets were suffering frightful losses their defenses were fulfilling the purpose for which they were designed. The task of Bleeding the Germans white was achieved.
Scenario CH 57 ("Yad Mordechai")
1) SPECIAL RULE #4 should allow the Israelis to deploy and recombine without a leader. [CHw] {Corrected in later printings. SR}
2) All minefields are Known.
Scenarios in Critical Hit Issue 4 and later All AFVs listed in CH scenarios using the new clip art use OPTIONAL MG ARMAMENT by SPECIAL RULE #only. For those confused by the lack of MG designations on the scenario cards, any armament listed in Chapter H notes as "Opt." are only available by Special Rule.
Scenario CH 73 ("The Stand Off") The Weapons Pit counter depiction shows the wrong TEM vs. non-OBA attacks. The TEM is +2 vs. OBA and OVR, +3 vs. Others. The Counter and the rules are correct.
Scenario CH 74 ("Troteval Farm") The printer substituted the German LMG graphics for the British LMG graphics. Use the appropriate British LMG.

Scenario PBP11 ("A Civil War, Not a Gentleman's War") The overlays are at level -1.
Scenario PBP11 ("A Civil War, Not a Gentleman's War") The CH setup graphic on the map could be misunderstood. The text above the unit OBs (saying where to setup) is correct.
Scenario PBP12 ("Soft Noodle") Chinese groups A and B are composed of Conscript 3-3-6 squads, group C is composed of First Line 3-3-7 squads. All Chinese 336/136 MMC are treated as Conscripts (as printed on the ASLÔ Axis Minor counters).

hex. Australian Battlefield Integrity Number: [312]
RBF 7 (Into the Cauldron):
German OB errata: Add a 2-2-8 Crew to German initial OB.
German reinforcement entry errata: German reinforcements enter on the north map edge.
HSR 1 should read: EC are Wet with no wind at start. All buildings [EXC: Factory] are two-story buildings. Building aJ2 is a Roofless Factory with the following rules applying:
1. ROOFLESS FACTORY
1.1 ROOFLESS FACTORY HEX: A Roofless
Factory Hex represents a portion of the Factory in
which the roof has collapsed.
1.11 FACTORY DEBRIS: All non-rubbled Roofless Factory Hexes contain debris (see below). Factory debris is not Inherent Terrain (i.e. it exists only within the building depiction), and may not be Cleared. Only building (not Factory debris) TEM applies to a Direct Fire attack whose LOS is not traced entirely within the Factory. Indirect Fire, and Direct Fire whose LOS is traced entirely within the Factory to a Roofless Factory Hex is subject to both Factory TEM (+1) and Factory debris TEM (+1). Moreover, LOS (and Indirect Fire) that incurs the +1 Factory Hindrance of a roofless Factory Hex also incurs that hex’s +1 debris Hindrance, for a total of +2 per-hex LOS Hindrance.
2. DEBRIS
2.1 Debris is Concealment Terrain. It has a +1 TEM and is a Half-level LOS Hindrance (both of which are cumulative with Factory TEM/Hindrance). Debris may not be Kindled, nor may a Blaze spread to it; however, debris in a Roofless Factory Hex can catch Fire along with the building Location (which may still be Kindled in the normal manner). Debris may not be created during play.
2.2 MF/MP: Infantry must expend one MF+COT to enter a debris Location. The only vehicle type that may enter debris is a fully-tracked AFV, which does so by expending ¼ (FRU) of its MP allotment and taking a Bog Check with a +1 DRM (and an additional +1 Bog DRM for entry of a Factory Location if applicable) [EXC to all: if Bypassing a Factory debris Location].
2.3 FORTIFICATIONS: A Fortification may exist in a debris Location unless other terrain/Fortification(s) therein prohibit it.
2.4 RUBBLE: Rubble created in, or falling into, any
debris Location turns it into a Rubble (not debris)
Location.
RBF 8 (Germeter by Meter):
Tactical Objectives should read: The side
with the most VP at game end wins (if tied the
Americans must have caused more CVP than
he loses to win). In addition to earning CVP,
each side earns 1 VP for each squad capacity
of pillbox locations he controls and also 1 VP
for each level four hill hex he controls at game
end.
German OB errata: Germans should receive 12 AP Mine Factors not 2.
Add HSR 5: Off-map hexes of board 39 are in effect for reinforcement entry.
Recon by Fire issue #2 by Heat of Battle
RBF 11 (Gut Check):
Russian OB: There should be a “?” under the foxhole counter, not ‘2’.

German Order of Battle- Change the 1 squad Motorcycles depiction for a 1 squad Motorcycles with Side cars depiction.
SSR 5: "The Polish have a Set DC (A23.7) on the 40I2 bridge hex (for Clearance purposes, both bridge hexes need to be cleared)) prior to play. The detonator (represented by a Phone counter that cannot be moved from that Location) is located in the "Customhouse" building 3Z1 and may be recovered (A4.44) by either side. A Infantry unit in possession of the Phone can either detonate the Set DC as it was the qualifying unit as per A23.7 without regard to LOS or be destroyed as per A9.73 and so effectively eliminate any future possibility of detonate the Set DC."
LSSAH #3- Fruhjahrsbestellung:
German Order of Battle- The 1 squad Motorcycles depiction has no PP capability
