The Maxim and the Maxim (I) are two different units. Look at their Alpha Strike cards. :)

Wait what?

The Warhammer & the Warhammer-IIC are 2 different units.

The Maxim-3025 & Maxim-I is just 2 different "Variants" isn't it?

Hmm, I just noticed that the Partisan Heavy Tank & Partisan Air Defense Tank, which is how they were named in 3026 & 3058 also show up as "different vehicles".
Which I would never call them a fully different class of vehicle.  One is just the Upgrade of the other.

This is one of those weird consistency issues. 
The Centurion gains 5 tons in some variants & still isn't a separate class, same w/ the Jager.
But the Enforcer & Jager that get a III on them are even though they are the same tonnage as the original.

Atlas-II is different chassis but its just a Royal-Atlas w/ Ferro but ReSeen are the same class as original.

I don't consider the Avenger from DS&JS to be a totally different "class" of ship from the Avenger(3049) just an upgrade, like going from Atlas-7D to 7S.

Very odd.

If you print out their record sheets, they will not be identical. That is what I mean by being different units.

Should the Marian Hegemony and the Taurian Concordat have access to the Orion ON1-VA? They both have access to the ON1-V and the ON1-VA seems like a really common refit (IS general and Mercenary access) to a mech that both factions have been using for 100+ years at the time of early Succession Wars.

Just wanted to follow up on this, as it seemed to have gotten missed and its been a few weeks. Thanks for taking a look!

Chameleon 8V is listed as being introduced in the year 3086 but its era is listed as Clan Invasion. Should be early Republic

Should the Goblin (MG) be available to the Star League (1st)? All of the other 3039 Goblins are, I can't find any reason this one would be an exception.

Thanks!

The LRM and SRM variants of the 'Goblin Medium Tank' are available to IS General, Periphery General and Mercenary in the Star League era. Should the base Goblin also have IS and Periphery availability in the SL period?

Goblin Medium Tank
Goblin Medium Tank (LRM)
Goblin Medium Tank (SRM)

Just a little bump in case this had fallen through the cracks.

The Ontos Heavy Tank (LRM) has all its weapons mounted in its turret, but no turret-mounted damage output in its specials. MUL lists it with TUR(LRM2/3/3,IF3). It should probably have TUR(2/4/4, LRM2/3/3, IF3) instead.

Few questions:

1. Kite Reconnaissance Vehicle

In TRO 3150 (p.46) there is First Taurian Lancers recon company in "notable units" section, all vehicles are Kites (both variants)

Shouldn't Taurian Concordat MUL page get them?


2. Taurian BA organisation

3067, HB:MPS
"Battle armor squads of four soldiers"

but

3071, story "Into the Fire" by Jason Schmetzer, Trinity Medium Battle Armor (Asterion) maniple vs FedSuns Nightstar, it is five:
 1. Subaltern Gloria Riordan, our PoV in this story
 2. BA trooper Hutchins, case of death - AC fire from Jagermech
 3. BA trooper Falcone, case of death - gauss slug from Nightstar
 4. BA trooper Juresh, alive, traumatic arm amputation by Nightstar
 5. BA trooper Madison, alive

Should Taurian MUL get Trinity Medium Battle Armor (Asterion) (Sqd5) in 3071+ ?
Should all Taurian BA in MUL get (Sqd5) instead of (Sqd4) after 3071 ?

Hi all, we will be holding off on any changes until after the new site is operational (no, there is no current ETA). Please continue with reporting issues - we will circle back on unanswered items at that point.

Few questions:

1. Kite Reconnaissance Vehicle

The standard is generally "multiple examples in multiple units." There are many examples in canon text that notes similar distributions and go unlisted. Not being on the list doesn't necessarily mean that faction has zero of that unit, just not enough to be typically found interspersed among that faction's forces.

Nope. HB:MPS is the standard.

The Lumberjack LM1/A should be tagged as Primitive technology, as its introduction date is well before the introduction of non-Primitive Industrialmechs, but just after Primitive Industrialmechs reach production with the Terran Hegemony. See Interstellar Operations: Alternate Eras, page 44.

"Could we have some more line art please Sir?"

The latest BT Activity book has new line art for several 'Mechs (Argus, Dragon Fire).

Any chance/plans of having the relevant MUL pages/Alpha Strike cards updated?

not sure if this is really the right place but worth a shot.

is it known if the forthcoming (soon*) new MUL site will allow for the ship cards to be shown?

if i recall correctly there were some things mentioned about cards being incorrect

New/Missing Units

HTP New Dallas p. 15
ComStar HPG Monitoring Satellite (or something similar)

Likely similar in statistics to the QR 243 Relay Satellite but without the Clan-tech and with ComStar availability in the Early Succession War. These were "placed by ComStar after the Second Succession War to watch former Hegemony worlds." The inclusion of the HPG required to alert ComStar/WoB on Terra to incursions on dead Hegemony worlds separates this enough from normal surveillance satellites to justify an individual entry.

ProtoMech  Erinyes Bella from BattleCorps "Rehab". No statistics, likely unique, intro year no later than 3068. As an aside trying to build it fails unless you liberally interpret "gained a bit of weight" to mean bumping from 2 tons to 5 tons. Then you lose the JJ, add MASC, M-Pod, MicroPulse and armor.  You're left with a pretty vicious 6/9[12] little bugger.

Owens OW-1 (only the base model, none of the omni variants) appears on the Clan Nova Cat list in Jihad era.
Should this be removed?

Yeah. Nova cats are probably next to either the capellans or comstar on the list and accidentally got shift+clicked
