Title: Tactical Operations: Advanced Rules - 23 September 2023 (v7.0)
Post by: Xotl on 05 June 2020, 15:06:54
NOTE: This thread is for the first volume of the revised, two-volume edition of Tactical Operations.  We are no longer collecting errata for the original single-volume version.


This thread is for all issues and problems with Tactical Operations: Advanced Rules.

Product Link: https://store.catalystgamelabs.com/products/battletech-tactical-operations-advanced-rules

There are four printings of TO:AR - be sure to cite which release you're working from:
2020
2021
2022
2023 - pending

Current errata version is 7.0, and can be found here:

the brand new pdf

pg 2

Table of Contents lists the Advanced Ground Movement section starting on pg 18. it starts on pg 16 (it's a c/p issue from the combined volume)

fix: change the page number (if it's any consolation the bookmark links to the correct page)

VERSION: PDF, initial release
LOCATION: Page 9, Campaign Operations.
THE ERROR: "Campaign Operations (CO) is the rulebook you are holding in your hands and the foundational book to" -  This is Tactical Ops, not Campaign Ops
THE CORRECTION: "Campaign Operations (CO) is the foundational book to"...

VERSION: PDF, initial release

LOCATION: p180, Morale Tables

THE ERROR: Reference marks in column headings appear to be in the wrong column. (Have been transposed one column to the left.)

THE CORRECTION: "Experience level" should have no reference mark, "BattleMechs Morale Target" should have the asterisk, "Combat Vehicles Morale Target" should have the 'dagger', "Infantry Morale Target" should have the 'double dagger', and "Support Vehicles Morale Target" should have the 'section sign'. The 'double section sign' should only appear in the table body, rather than in the headings.

Xotl: Much obliged, Alfaryn


Here are the page reference errors to TO: AR and TO: AUE I've found in the initial release of the TO: AR pdf. Plus a few other problems I've found while looking for page reference errors.
Note that:
1. this is a product of just one afternoon and evening of my work, and it is entirely possible that I've missed penty of errors,
2. I have not checked page references to books other than TO: AR and TO: AUE,
3. I have not checked the table of contents and the index.

p. 11 (Advanced Conventional Infantry Record Sheet)
Three problems: 

INCORRECT PAGE REFERENCE 1.: In the footnotes of Morale Table - "See Infernos and Cruise Missile Attack (p. 211)."
SHOULD BE: See Infernos and Cruise Missile Attack (p. 179, TO: AR).

INCORRECT PAGE REFERENCE 2.: In the footnotes of Morale Table - "Conventional Infantry with Armor (see p. 317)"
SHOULD BE: Conventional Infantry with Armor (see p. 129, TO: AUE)

INCORRECT PAGE REFERENCE 3.: Footnote of Recovering Nerve Table - "Only applies if Commanders (see p. 191) are in use."
SHOULD BE: Only applies if Commanders (see p. 159, TO: AR) are in use.

p. 29
INCORRECT PAGE REFERENCE: "p. 413" under Die Roll "8" of the Terrain Effects Table.
SHOULD BE: "pp. 41-43".

p. 32
INCORRECT PAGE REFERENCE: All page references in the "Prohibited Units" column of the bottom table point to page numbers too high by two.
SHOULD BE: Change "p. 42" to "p. 40" "p. 43" to "p. 41", "p. 49" to "p. 47".

p. 47
INCORRECT PAGE REFERENCE: Right column, under "River"" The reference "Torrent
terrain modification (see p. 48)"

INCORRECT PAGE REFERENCE: Both references to "p. 61" (under "Extreme Temperature:" paragraphs of Light Hail and Heavy Hail)
SHOULD BE: "p. 60."

p. 59

Either restore it on p. 58, or cut it on the other pages I've mentioned (and put some other condition on pp. 28 and 67 to replace it).

INCORRECT PAGE REFERENCE 2.: Ice Storm (p. 60)
SHOULD BE: Ice Storm (p. 58)

PROBLEM 3.: Woods (p. 38)

The errata for the upcoming second printing has been posted.  Many of the corrections were page number references, but were not noted in the document.

Also, Alfaryn: I added you to the playtester/factchecker credits.  Thanks a ton for going through those page # references.

THE ERROR AND CORRECTION:
Currently reads:
Add a +1 to-hit modifier to all Missile and Direct-Fire Ballistic weapon attacks for every .2 G (or fraction thereof) above or below the Terran standard 1 G.

Should instead read:
Add a +1 to-hit modifier to all Missile and Direct-Fire Ballistic weapon attacks for every full .2 G above or below the Terran standard 1 G.

Corrected 4th printing, pdf (downloaded via website purchase Nov 28, 2021)

Short version - there was no reference to the Building and Mobile Structure cost table on page 208 (only found it by doing a text search for "cost")

Long Version:
p131: Step 4: Complete the Record Sheet
As part of the Structure record sheet (on p205) includes the cost of the building, recommend adding a reference to the "BUILDING AND MOBILE STRUCTURE COSTS" on p208
suggested:
Add a reference somewhere in Step 4 about using the cost modifiers and equations on p208 to figure the Structure's cost

Index:
p194: "Buildings, cost" is not listed
suggested:
Add "cost, 208" under "Building design process"

p197: "Mobile structures, cost" is not listed
suggested:
Add "cost, 208" under "Mobile structures"

p198: "Subsurface structures, cost" is not listed
suggested:
Add "cost, 208" under "Subsurface structures"

p213:
Page reference for Minefield density is p208, which is actually the Building/Structure cost page.
Suggested:
Change the page reference to p176

Tactical Operations, AR: 6th Edition


Airborne Targeting, page 148:

The rules state: "If using Low-Altitude Movement, apply the following additional modifiers: if the attack is made from Altitudes 4-6, apply a +1 modifier; if the attack is made from Altitudes 5-9, apply a +2 modifier;"

There is an overlap with the Altitudes and their modifiers.  The modifier for Altitudes 4-6 is correct at +1, but the +2 modifier should be for Altitudes 7-9 not 5-9.


ARTILLERY ORDNANCE table, page 213:

This table needs to be the same as the one on page 152.  The table at the back of the book is wrong.  Under "High-Explosive (standard)" and "Arrow IV" there needs to be printed "20/10 (R1)".

Pp. 148-149, Airborne Targeting

Self-contradicting rule: This rule lays out rules for firing from beyond the target mapsheet (for instance, from high-altitude atmospheric hexes), then wraps by indicating that attacks can only be made on the same mapsheet in the final paragraph.

Further, the sentence regarding Aerospace Units on Ground Mapsheets compatibility is out of date.

Solution: Replace the entire final paragraph under Airborne Targeting with:
Quote
If using the Aerospace Units on Ground Mapsheets rules, while a fighter is moving on ground mapsheets the target hex can be anywhere on the playing area within a weapon's firing arc, except for the hex directly undearneath the airborne unit.

pp. 152, 213, Artillery Ordinance table Arrow IV Homing Missile* line, Arrow IV column.

Change the entry to "20 (R0)".

ALTERNATIVELY:

pp. 152, 213, Artillery Ordinance table Copperhead* line, Long Tom, Sniper and Thumper columns.

Change the entries to "15", "10" and "5".

REASON: Homing Arrow IVs should be treated similarly to Copperhead rounds in the same table (see Arrow IV Homing Missiles on p. 166 TO:AUE and Copperhead Artilery on p. 167 TO:AUE for more details).

That is, of course, unless Copperhead rounds deal 15, 10, and 5 damage (depending on round type) to ALL targets in the hex they struck, not just 15/10/5 to the target they struck directly, and 5 points of damage (regardless of round type) to all other targets in the hex, in which case we need a clarification on p. p. 167 TO:AUE instead. However I remember that many years ago it was explicitly ruled in one of the rules questions threads that it is 15/10/5 to the directly struck target and 5 to all other in the same hex, so unless something has changed since then, the correction should be as described above this paragraph.

The Firing on the Move errata doesn't seem to account for units jumping from a lower position to a higher position, and could also cause issues with players "clipping" through a hill to fire. Rephrase to:

A jumping attack uses whatever facing the attacker desires. The jumping unit can be at any level, so long as it is not less than the height of the beginning or end hexes (whichever is lower) and no higher than the unit’s maximum Jumping MP in levels. In all cases, the unit may not fire from below its normal height above the underlying terrain ('Mechs are considered to normally be standing) at the point of firing.

DEV LEVEL ERRATA

Pg 75 Engine Explosions (also applies to Booby Traps)

For any rules that require a unit to have an Engine Rating, a Support Vehicle's engine rating is determined by multiplying its Cruising or Safe Thrust MP by its tonnage and use that value in place of the Engine Rating (to a maximum of 500)

Corrected Fourth Printing (but I believe this to be uncorrected as of the latest printing based on published errata)

Page 31

Problem: Table entry for Heavy Industrial Zone lists +1 piloting/driving skill modifier.

The rules text for Heavy Industrial Zone does not state anything that interacts with the piloting/driving skill. For instance, it does not say you need to make a PSR or fall (like rubble), to avoid damage (buildings), or that all PSRs while in the hex have a penalty (sand), nor is there any rule for 'mechs to avoid causing damage/explosions as they walk through the hex.

Solution: Either correct the table to be +0 (perhaps entries that don't interact with the PSR at allshould have - instead of +0) or the Heavy Industrial Zone should have rules text explaining the situation in which the +1 applies.

Just checked eratta Doc, and this is still has not been corrected for the 2023 reprint:

VERSION: PDF

LOCATION: High/Low Gravity (p. 53), Under "Weapon Attacks"

THE ERROR AND CORRECTION:

Currently reads:
Add a +1 to-hit modifier to all Missile and Direct-Fire Ballistic weapon attacks for every .2 G (or fraction thereof) above or below the Terran standard 1 G.

Should instead read:
Add a +1 to-hit modifier to all Missile and Direct-Fire Ballistic weapon attacks for every full .2 G above or below the Terran standard 1 G.

Current printing pg 97, Rapid-Fire Mode: The text of the rapid-fire rule doesn't say anything about the no-mixed-ammo ruling.
