Great ,thanks

About breaking point.
What happen if I reach the number of casualties necessary to roll for breaking point in the first turn (bad rolls in the mobile deployment and a lot of good hit rolls of my enemy).
I pass the breaking roll in the second turn and recive a lot of troops from my reserve. Am I in a breaking point for the rest of battle and I will have to roll every turn? Or do we have to recalculate the breaking point?

It is interesting that this question appears to have not been asked previously, as looking back right the way to BKCI there appears to have been no clear definition on what 'occupied' or 'contested' really means. We can correct that in CWCII for starters.
Maybe very few players actually play scenario games. Now that would be an interesting poll to run  :-\

Just catching up and went checking on the basis I'm sure that's in the book, and it is. For BKC4 it's Pg57, Objectives, 2nd paragraph. This covers Occupying a terrain feature and gives you the number of units, not suppressed etc. BKC2 (same section, p37-38 I think) has the same description, however the Scenarios in BKC2 have the additional bit that says treat the entire area as a terrain feature.

There's nothing I can see or remember about contesting this other than keep them suppressed and/or dead.

Yes, you recalculate your army break point as and when units either arrive on-table or are forced off it or are KO'd.
It is an attempt to try and replicate 'real life' (well sort of)  :D

Apologies - I am not sure I understand your question?
Can you expand on it a bit?
Thanks

Sorry Mark, no question you'd mentioned that there was no clear definition of Occupied, so just pointing out that there is. It is in an awkward place, as the previous page also has a bit about objectives, but it has persisted through editions.

Good spot - thank - I'll look at that for both CWCII errata and FWCII.
