I could tell you, but you'll still have to wait for the errata to be published.

None; they're too busy bickering on the definition of "screw", and whether a given light bulb really is a light bulb.

Two - one to read the relevant rule from the book, and one to argue about how it's properly interpreted.

Depends on how you define 'light'....

Are we talking about whether it has 5 or more movement points?

The equipment assigned to it in the TOE?

NATO symbol or historical pictogram?

Depends on which command and control system you're using with them.

I think it depends on how you interpret rule 10.15.

None.

His wife did it because she got tired of waiting for him to finish his next turn on VASSAL.

'Wargamers' and 'screwing' are two things that usually don't correlate.

Is it Summer of '43? How many hindrance hexes between the wargamer and the lamp? If they roll an 11 or a 12, that wargamer is out of lightbulbs and another wargamer will need to roll to see if they have lightbulbs, APDS, or the capability to pop smoke.

Is the wargamer in supply at the time of the attempting screwing? What is the defense factor of said lightbulb, and are there any TEMs in effect. Does the wargamer have to soak off against the light SWITCH in order to attempt bulb screwage? Does the lightbulb have a valid retreat path?

Wargamers don't screw in lightbulbs; they *ahem* in hottubs.

Thanks. I'll be here all week.

It's a trick question!

Changing a Lightbulb is a solo game.

If you have the right combination of cards, or get really lucky with your die rolls, the light bulb will change itself for you.
