Condor (LAC) record sheet.
-Replace XL engine with a standard engine.

[Ruger]

RecGuide 26. Page 4 Condor Ultra stat block lists engine as 165 Fuel Cell with a cruising speed of 86 kph and a Maximum Speed of 129 kph.

Issue: page 5 lists engine type as 215 Fuel Cell, with a Cruising Speed of 9 (97.2 kph) and a Maximum Speed of 14 (151.2 kph).

Solution: correct stat block on page 4 to match page 5 and record sheet.

RG16, p. 8 Locust IIC

"an overconfident Locust IIC MechWarrior in Clan Wolf’s Beta Galaxy led his combined-arms recon Star too far ahead and blundered into a lightning company of the First Royal Guards."
Issue:  These two units fought in different engagements, separated by the snarl of Seth Marsden Ave.
Correction: Either replace Beta Galaxy with Alpha Galaxy, or replace First Royal Guards with a unit in Tharkad City like Second Royal Guards.

"Calibos now seeks a long-lost Brian Cache in the Chainelane Isles"
Issue: Brian Cache's are a distinctly SLDF-in-exile creation not present outside the Homeworlds.
Correction:  Replace with Castle Brian or Star League-cache

"After Loremaster Kalara Yeh was killed along with Calibos’s Trinary commander in the overwhelming Hansa assault, he took command of the stunned Fifth"
Issue: Contradicted by OTP: Hanseatic Crusade pp. 12, 21, 31 which states Star Colonel Qelli Kirov assumed command. Keshik and Galaxy formations typically have a Star Colonel Aide position which doesn't command their own Cluster, though it is unclear if the assumption of command following a fatality would pass to the Aide or a Cluster commander. Unknown if Qelli Kirov was the Seeker Keshik Aide or a Cluster commander.  Also appears to contradict Spotlight On: Schmidt's Petraries pp. 9-10 which places only Seeker Keshik on scene, not 5th Seeker.
Correction: Replace with "he took temporary command" or "took command of the stunned Trinary" depending on the organizational level a presumptive-Star Commander would assume command of.  Possibly replace 5th Seeker with Seeker Keshik
Correction #2: Replace  "Calibos’s" with  "Calibos’"

Volume 27

Page 13,43 entry for Gunslinger GUN-3ERD
Errant - Fluff for unit indicates it is fitted with a Clan XL Fusion Engine, which is a sticking point of the entry for the 3ERD. However, Record Sheet does not indicate the unit has Clan Engine or Clan Heat Sinks (in engine).  Additionally, uncertain if -102 unallocated armor points (using MegaMekLab) issue.  Armor is Ballistic-Reinforced Armor type, but armor protection is same as the original 1ERD.

Correction - Note Clan XL Fusion Engine or XL Fusion Engine (C) on record sheet and Add missing Ballistic-Reinforced Armor on record sheet. 

[Kerfuffin(925)]

Volume 27

Pg 7

In the weapons and ammo section the Galleon has TAG listed as 0.5 tons. Either swap to light tag or correct the tonnage. Not sure which is correct

If it is supposed to be light TAG the record sheet needs to be adjusted too.

Volume 27

Pg 7

In the weapons and ammo section the Galleon has TAG listed as 0.5 tons. Either swap to light tag or correct the tonnage. Not sure which is correct

If it is supposed to be light TAG the record sheet needs to be adjusted too.

Errata:
Change TAG tonnage to 1 ton.
Change armor tonnage to 7 tons (point value remains the same).

No other errata required. Unit remains legal as-is.

Volume 27

Page 13,43 entry for Gunslinger GUN-3ERD
Errant - Fluff for unit indicates it is fitted with a Clan XL Fusion Engine, which is a sticking point of the entry for the 3ERD. However, Record Sheet does not indicate the unit has Clan Engine or Clan Heat Sinks (in engine).  Additionally, uncertain if -102 unallocated armor points (using MegaMekLab) issue.  Armor is Ballistic-Reinforced Armor type, but armor protection is same as the original 1ERD.

Correction - Note Clan XL Fusion Engine or XL Fusion Engine (C) on record sheet and Add missing Ballistic-Reinforced Armor on record sheet.

No errata required. The Clan XL engine is indicated through the number of criticals on the record sheet.
I'm also what you mean by -102 unallocated armor points. Armor protection appears correct to me; the unit carries 20.5 tons of B-R armor, giving it 246 points of protection (two fewer points than the -1ERD, with both shaved from the rear center torso location).

Feel free to take this point to the errata discussion thread if I seem to have overlooked something.

Volume 7, p. 12

"Alula Australis...defending Eleventh Triarii"
Issue:  Wrong Eleventh, this was the Eleventh Principes Guards under Colonel Randolph Abasi (Shattered Fortress, pp. 91 & 144).  This same error was spotted by Wrangler for the Dominator ( https://bg.battletech.com/forums/errata/recognition-guide-ilclan-all-volumes/msg1645878/#msg1645878 )
Correction:  Change to Eleventh Principes Guards.  Alternatively, change Shattered Fortress &  RG10 p. 6 to the Eleventh Triarii Protectors under Colonel Jens Scholz if the recurring nature means this is a retcon.

Volume 27, Page 6, GAL-106 GALLEON LIGHT TANK entry

Error: Under Armor, it lists Riese-675 Hardened with CASE.  The tank does not have CASE listed on page 7 or in its record sheet on page 19, nor does it possess any explosive equipment that could make use of CASE.

Suggested Correction: remove "with CASE" from the armor listing.

Patton (XL)

Page 11 lists Artemis IV attached to the MML5
Page 32 does not list the MML5 as having an attached Artemis module (while the Axel IICs both have their Artemis listed)

I wouldn’t have noticed unless the ammo was listed as Artemis compatible

Correction: According to the canon character list, this should be Don Sose. (Confirmed by GreekFire)

vol 3, p. 10

Force Commander Gerald Cameron-Jones
Issue: Force Commanders command battalions. He commanded the 1st Regulan Hussars regiment prior to retiring as a Colonel (FM:FWL p. 106, FM3145FWL p. 28)
Correction: Replace Force Commander with Colonel

[Baldur Mekorig]

vol 28, p. 6

LT-MOB-25F MOBILE LONG TOM ARTILLERY
Issue: Unit stats mention "Armor: StarSlab/1 Ferro-Fibrous", but the stats block shows CASE
Correction: Add "with CASE" to the "Armor: StarSlab/1 Ferro-Fibrous" part.

[BlackLanner05]

Vol. 27 pg. 10 typo: "The two tanks became strong sellers whose performance outweighed complaints about the use expensive fusion reactors in vehicles"

Correction: Add the word "of" after the word use

[Sartris]

PDF, pg 29

Problem: SturmFeur (Steiner) does not list Artemis IV for the MML-9s

Solution: Add a pair of Artemis IV FCS to the turret.

GAL-106 Galleon Light Tank
BATTLE HISTORY

Error: Refers to "Duchess Humphreys herself publicly implored her people to return to civility" during the 3140 Great Galleon War within the Duchy of Andurien.

Correction: As at 3140, the reference should either to be Duke Humphreys (as Ari Humphreys was Duke as at 3140), or Duchess Centrella (if his wife Ilsa Centrella is intended).

[pokefan548]

Vol. 29 — Dragoon Battle Armor (WD) Record Sheet

The WD Star is listed as a Taurian/Calderon Maniple. Change "Maniple" to "Star".

For future I.S. armors organized into Clan Stars, note that in your MegaMek dev environment you should modify "megameklab/megameklab/src/megameklab/printing/PrintBattleArmor.java/", line 167.

[Baldur Mekorig]

RG29
Pages 4 and 5
The Fusion Engine Rating should be "155" instead of "130".

[Baldur Mekorig]

RG29
Dervish entry, page 13
Second paragraph, 8th line, it should say "Huesos Dentados" instead of "Hueso Dentados". "Dentados" is the plural of "dentado".

Issue: Listed as Standard, but Re-engineered Lasers were Advanced in IO and never became standard

Pp. 25-27 (record sheets)

Issue: Mismatch between Eulus' omni configurations' unit roles on the record sheets and the roles listed in the writeup. Writeup looks correct.
Corrections (for record sheets):
Eurus MBT Prime -- Role should be Sniper (not Brawler)
Eurus MBT A -- Role should be Skirmisher (not Brawler)
Eurus MBT B -- Role should be Brawler (not Sniper)

ilClan Recognition Guide 01, updated

Record Sheet, GRF-6R

Problem: Tech Base is listed as "Mixed". There appear to be no Clan components on the GRF-6R.

Solution: 1. Change Tech Base to "Inner Sphere"
2. Exchange the ER small laser (IS) with an ER small laser (Clan), updating range and damage. This will change the BV as well.

Plog's Phoenix Hawk artwork in the TRO section was replaced with Scroggins' earlier work that no longer matches the miniature (cockpit), while the record sheets artwork was changed from Scroggins' version to Plog's.
