Errata Discussion Thread - Questions HERE, not in Errata Threads

[theothersarah]

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, ..."

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.

[DevianID]

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.

[Xotl]

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

What should it be?

[Sartris]

It should be 4/5

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.

[Grognard]

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

[Sartris]

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?

[Grognard]

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.

[Gray_Noton_4lfe]

I would like to know what version this is and how it differs from the latest release. Couldn't find anything online about
it.

The last time it was discussed, the powers that be indicated that was the cover for the next printing, which hasn't been released yet.

[Sartris]

The image has been floating around on various secondary market sites for a while now. I’ve been tempted to order one just to see what shows up

Thanks! Saw it for a reasonable price, just wanted to make sure it was one of the newer versions

[Sartris]

The current printing uses the old succession wars box set art.

[Red wolf]

I don’t know if I am missing something or this is errata, but it seems contradictory at the least.

This is from a 9th printing and I didn’t see any errata on it in the 11.01 documanent.

TW page 247: Dumping Bombs
“No ammunition explosion results if a fighter dumping its bomb load is hit in the aft location.”

This section calls to use the rules from the following in non-emergency situations.

TW page 140: under Aerospace Units in the dumping ammunition section.
“…any hit against a dumping unit's aft armor causes the ammunition to explode.”

The two passages say the opposite of each other, with regards to the bombs exploding, when it comes to dumping bombs.

Which one is correct?

[Red wolf]

TW 9th printing:

Page 248, 7th bullet point at the top of the page.

“…the player controlling the player may choose what arc applies.”

Looking at the sentence after this it seems that the quote should be.

“…the player controlling the Shiva may choose what arc applies.”

Is that correct?

[Gray_Noton_4lfe]

Will there be a new reprint of AToW companion?

[Xotl]

Unknown at this time, but I personally doubt it.  That's more of an Ask the Developers question than an errata question in any case.

Thanks, wasn't quite sure were to post it. I think I'll post it in Ask the Developers
