What does "engine rating" mean for Support Vehicles in the latest TM developer errata (post #69 in that thread)?  The table on page 127 lays out weight and movement factor, but not "engine rating".  Is it intended to replace movement factor?

The intention of the errata is to provide a Engine Rating value as used in Engine Explosions and Booby Traps. It is an additional rating not a replacement value for anything.

Ah, thanks!  It might be worth noting that in TM, since the Engine Explosion rules are in TacOps...

Yeah, when it gets rolled into the PDF/print copies maybe it should include a note like "For situations where an engine rating for this vehicle is needed, ..."

This is not sourcebook errata. Any availability concerns should be filed in the MUL thread.

The link to BattleTech CGL-Era Fiction thread located in the Errata Index post is broken.

Yeah, the change to URLs meant that lot of the links were broken.  I've been fixing them bit by bit when I have the time, but time is something I'm pretty short on lately.  Thanks for the note.

Not sure if it was mentioned in the past, but the BV for rocket launchers is wrong.
Currently RL10=18, rl15=23, rl20=24

The prices should be RL10=15, RL15=18, RL20=19

The discrepancy is *likely* due to using a 1.5 weapon multiplier on the range damage, instead of a 1.2 multiplier like all other OS weapons, as that produces the 18/23/24 values.  Not accounting for the +1 to hit could also be the issue, but that results in 18/22/24.  Either way, the correct values should be 15/18/19.

Artillery Cannons underwent an errata, that removed the +1 penalty to hit (caused by being required to fire indirect, like LRMs).  They now can fire direct, and suffer no penalty to hit when doing so.

The BV for Artillery Cannons on their release includes a +1 to hit penalty.  When this penalty was removed via errata, the BV for artillery cannons needed to go up, for example from 41 on the thumper to 53.

Where do I put errata for the INITIATIVE DECK?

ERROR:

Page 10 of the rules Booklet
Initiative Sequenece
...proceeds in sequential order from A, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, K, D, S.

That was from the BETA RULES, where K was a Knight, D was a Duke and S was a Successor Lord. It is also missing the number 10.

The Final Product has the face cards defined on page 2 as: Mechwarrior (M), Duke (D), and Successor Lord (L). Those are also how the cards are printed: M, D, and L

CORRECTION
...proceeds in sequential order from A, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, M, D, L.

That's been corrected for the upcoming printing, along with a bunch of other items.

Diving into Strategic Battleforce using the Battle for Tuykayyid Supplemental...  it appears the Strategic Battleforce Formation Record Sheets starting on pg. 29 and continuing through pg. 65 are missing the TMM, Tactics and Morale scores for the associated Formations. These both seem to be integral to Strategic Battleforce play so not sure if this is just an oversight or I am missing something with the rules.

I've been looking, and I cannot find an entry for the HRN-7T Hornet of the BD era?
y'know... THIS guy?

That doesn't appear to be a Battletech mini.

it's from the original battledroids line

http://brianscache.com/battledroids/

IIRC the BD hornet has the same stats as the eventual BT hornet that appears in the WD sourcebook. it was in battletechnology... issue 9?

Yes, my dear friend, it IS a Battletech mini of the Battledroids era.

Unfortunately, I lost my issue 9 of Battletechnology, and the stats I can find for the HNT-171 don't match what I recall when I once did find stats.

IIRC, it was a large laser, plus a SRM-2 in each side torso and Advanced comms gear in the head?

I was hoping one of the other old grey heads like me might have an official ruling.

The hornet in battletechnology #9 has an extra medium laser and is a ton overweight, but otherwise does match the stats of the HTN-151. Though the entry in the magazine has the wiggle room of not listing actuators or the locations of heatsinks, I think it's fair to assume that the 151 is intended to be the corrected canon form of the battletechnology version, and the HRN-7T is purely apocryphal.
Good news is the lab boys say the symptoms of asbestos poisoning show an immediate latency of 44.6 years. So if you're thirty or over you're laughing. Worst case scenario you miss out on a few rounds of canasta, plus you've forwarded the cause of science by three centuries. I punch those numbers into my calculator, it makes a happy face.
