Artwork, p. 112 - In the background there is a Nova Cat OmniMech, likely a Prime. Per TRO 3060, design & construction of that Omni didn't begin until after the losses of Tukayyid. Also, it doesn't show up on the RATs

Page 120, Clan Jade Falcon Force Building Rules
Force Building Rules: The Kit Fox, Hellbringer, and Summoner are common Jade Falcon ’Mechs . A Clan Jade Falcon player may replace one OmniMech per Star with one of the above of the same weight class (light or heavy) . The player may choose the configuration (Prime, A, B, C, or D)

The section identifies the Kit Fox, Hellbringer, and Summoner as common JF mechs, and then states that player may choose configs Prime, A, B, C, or D, but does not indicate which of these mechs can choose which of these variants.  Specifically the Hellbringer C and D variants do not yet exist at Tukayyid as those variants carry weapon systems not yet developed (ATMs and Plasma Cannons respectively).

Page 162, Shadow Hawk SHD-2Ht Battle History
As the -2Ht was primarily an Elemental hunter, it was assigned to special lances that had trained extensively in anti-infantry and simulated  battle  armor  tactics .  These  lances  consisted  of  two  of  Shadow  Hawk  -2Ht  and  two  Jenner -F  BattleMechs,  and  would  be  assigned  to  a  Division  to  respond  to  heavy  concentrations  of  Elementals  forming  anywhere  in  that  Division’s  operational  area.

This should be Level II and numbers changed in accordance with the 6 base makeup of Comstar.

page 183, Order of Battle Events
17 May, Reinforcements from the Jade Falcon campaign, reorganized as Thirteenth Army, arrive.

"Lost Destiny" pg 232 says the Thirteenth was formed by peeling off a battalion (Level III) from each division of the five reserve armies (to form a sixth reserve army).
Wolf Clan Sourcebook (pg 51) and Tukayyid Scenario pack (pg 90) support the Eleventh and Thirteenth being separate formations in the Wolf campaign.

[nckestrel]

The 13th Army was an intentional change.

p.98, Into the Cat's Maw fiction

PROBLEM: References to the Hammerhead fighter's medium lasers and LB-X are in error, as the variant that mounted them appeared in 3068. In addition, Attwater refers to the design as an "HF" (the model of the erroneous variant).
SOLUTION: Replace all references to its weaponry with either a single AC/20 OR two PPCs. Replace "HF" with "HD" (for the AC/20) or "HE" (for the two PPCs).
