New errata for the year is up; link in the first post.  I continue to be too busy to do much deep digging, but there was an issue where a bunch of old errata was lost in the new PDF release.  This (amongst other things) has forced a delay in the new printing, and while it waits for layout time to be available, we've managed to sneak in some new pieces of errata.  Assume everything here will be in the future one-day reprinting of TO (and accompanying PDF re-release).

Had a little more time to wait, and so squeezed in two more pieces of quick errata (Shielding movement mode, and cost of BA Myomer Booster).  Version 3.02 upped to the main errata page.  Again, these should make the new printing.

I know there's more TacOps errata items currently unresolved, but I don't have time to handle them: these two items were already-resolved pieces lying around that I had missed in my haste during the previous sweep.  So if your issue was passed over, don't feel slighted.

Xotl, the version 3.02 errata is still missing the correction to the First Printing that changes the number of DropShip collar slots taken up by a Naval Repair Facility.

The entry in question is under Construction Rules on page 334, and reads as follows:
"Each repair facility mounted on a unit reduces its maximum number of DropShip docking collars by the facility's tonnage divided by 50,000 (rounded up to the nearest whole).  For example, a WarShip that mounts a repair facility with a maximum capacity of 280,000 tons would sacrifice 6 potential docking collars to do so (280,000 tons capacity / 50,000 = 5.6 rounded up to 6)."

I know that later versions of TacOps changed this rule, and that the Newgrange and Faslane were built using the updated rule.  I also know that the first version of the errata contained the update, but it has been absent from subsequent editions.

I don't know why this particular error sticks in my craw so much, but it does.

Morale Table

i believe there are a couple of typos in there.

1. Table Attack Source mofidier (inf. only)
Last row says 'elite' and has no modifier (dash). I believe this is a left over from the previous table, since nowhere did the rules previously written state anything about attacks from elite units.

Proposed correction: Delete row that states 'elite'

2. Table named 'Other modifiers modifier (Infantry Only)'
Error: modifier is typed twice
Proposed correction, correct it to - "Other modifiers (Infantry Only)"


Xotl: Was not able to get this for the reprint, IIRC, but tagging it here for myself to check once the new books are out.

The final v3.0 update (v3.03) has just been uploaded to the website, containing all changes that will be made going into the new (split, two-volume) 3rd printing.

No further errata will be released for the single-volume version of Tactical Operations.  If you wish to make reports, they must be for the new two-volume edition.  Relevant threads:
