"Bushy woods are light woods, Fir tree woods are heavy woods", "whats the movement costs through this rough ground"- "1inch". Interpreted as an additional inch (double the cost). 3 guns usually fire with 1d6 each gun (3d6), target in 5" they fire with 2.

Copy that. The blue goose flies at midnight, the duck at dawn.

The beer is in my belly.

The pinguin waves its left flipper to the west.

The chinesse watch will be ready at midnight.

The barley crop will be poor this year.

Throw the lady off the train…her baggage.

Penguins get a free move during full moons, Cossacks move 7", Hussars move 1 cubit and Grenadiers move 17cm, but only if they are crossing water that is flowing downhill.

Ideally, the size of table and models should so correspond that a model ship at the centre of the table subtends the same angle to the players eye as the image in binoculars of the real ship at combat range.

Artillery may not fire in direct line of sight unless the firing unit is not involved in hand to hand combat, spotting for other units or otherwise engaged in laundering money or exorcising orc babies.

French units only break on a 7 other units break from 12-1PM

I believe the OP was pointing out some rules misinterpretations for our amusement.

I liked the one about trees.

I think my best one was where we read roll d12 for morale as rolling a twelve sided die not the sum of 2 six sided dice as the rules (Corps d'Armee I think) intended.

Edward, that's not a misinterpretation, that's the rules author being an idjit.

Apologies, yes, have you been half way though a game, was then told that the hill you were about to cross was difficult terrain and would as a result take you 8 moves to cross.

My favorite was the Foundry "Napoleon" rules, in which no unit could end a move on an obstacle, but if they did, they received a penalty in combat.
