In my original version from 1989, where I always played Morcar against my Dad, my Chaos Warriors had 5 body points.
Come to think of it, that may have been my first ever homebrew!!
I won't tell Dad that!!!!

Is that homebrew or is that just cheating

The DM has the final word!
And my final words will always be, Chaos Warriors rule!!!!!!
It isn't cheating, it's just keeping to the flavour of the CW dominance!!!

Accepting that there were only two "versions" of the cards, I'm still a little confused around the "non-diagonal" shortsword version, was this an error within some printing of the first edition 4271GB389 that was later corrected in the first edition (but without a version code update), or was this an error within some printing of the second edition 4271GB490 that was later corrected in the second edition (but without a version code update), it seems unlikely but not impossible that it was both. I feel like it was a second edition error that was later corrected but that is a gut feeling rather than evidence based. My guess is that they cut that piece of text by accident when updating from 4271GB389 to 4271GB490.

A similar example of this kind of omission would be that the 4271GB389 "gold" treasure cards state that they get returned to the deck (so you have to make a note of the gold value on the back of your character sheet), whereas 4271GB490 "gold" treasure cards are not returned to the deck but are retained by the player, but they still state that you need to record the gold value on the back of your character sheet, even though you don't as you keep the card, so that piece of text could have been removed but wasn't.

From what I've understand, it was revised with later 1990 version without updating the card code.
I noticed small mistakes were just fixed with no code update in Return of the Witch Lord for example. I have several UK RotWL questbooks and many of them feature mistakes on the maps for "Gate of Dooms" (missing a wall) and "Halls of Visions" (upside down map). Gate of Dooms was fixed earlier, Halls of Vision reversed map was instead still there and later fixed but all the questbooks have the same code.
They changed the code only if the content was different, not when fixed errors.

when the error was corrected was the part I got, it was when was the error made that I didn't get, was it as part of the reworking of the card text for the second edition? So 1E was diagonal SS, 2E had the booboo, and was later corrected to match 1E?
