Developer-Level Errata
In case of any contradiction, developer-level errata takes precedence over the current errata document.
* Landing (p. 87)
Replace the entire first paragraph with the following: "Any units beginning the movement phase one altitude above the underlying terrain can attempt to land on any available ground hex on a map. They may make either a vertical or horizontal landing. The landing replaces the unit's normal movement for the turn, preventing any other air or ground movement. Units using the Aerospace Units on Ground Mapsheets rules, p.91, must use the hex they currently occupy instead of choosing any hex on the mapsheet."
* Firing at Immobile Targets (p. 110)
Replace "Players may make aimed shots against units that are shut down or whose warrior is unconscious, using any weapons other than missile launchers and LB-X autocannon firing cluster munitions" with "Players may make aimed shots against units that are shut down or whose warrior is unconscious, using any weapons other than missile launchers, LB-X autocannon firing cluster munitions, Hyper-Assault Gauss Rifles, or Rapid-Fire weapons firing more than one shot."
* LRM Indirect Fire (p. 111)
First paragraph, after the second sentence ("this unit is referred to as the spotter"), insert the following new sentence:
"In order to serve as a spotter, the unit must not have charged or launched a Death From Above attack that turn."
Third paragraph (first one after the bullet points), first sentence:
"Finally, if the spotting unit makes any attacks in the turn that it spots for another unit, apply a +1 modifier to all of the spotting unit’s attacks, as well as a +1 modifier to the LRM indirect fire attack."
Change to:
"Finally, if a unit makes any attacks during the Weapon Attack Phase of a turn that it also spots for another unit, apply a +1 modifier to those attacks, as well as a +1 modifier to the LRM indirect fire attack."
* Infantry Carrier (p. 223)
Change: "Mechanized infantry: Mechanized infantry cannot be carried using these rules, unless the carrying unit is a Large Support Vehicle, small craft or Large Craft."
To: "Mechanized infantry: Mechanized infantry can only be carried by a Combat or Medium Support Vehicle over 100 tons or any Large Support Vehicle, small craft or Large Craft."
* 'Mech Lifting Capabilities (p. 261)
Add the following to the end of this section, as part of the same paragraph: "Note that 'Mechs suffer no movement penalties provided that they are carrying no more than 10% of their constructed weight (20% with active Triple-Strength Myomer)."
* Random 'Mech Allocation Table: Inner Sphere 1 (p. 267)
Under Assault 'Mechs for House Kurita, #5 slot, change the entry to "SD1-O Sunder [90] (3058)*"
* Control Roll Table (p. 311)
Remove the following line from the Control Roll Table: "Hovering (Spheroids)"

In the footnotes of both the tables on p. 303 TW and p. 304 TW, there's the line "§See Burst-Fire Weapon Damage Vs. Conventional infantry Table, either p. 217 or p. 309." It seems the table in question is on p. 310 TW, not p. 309 TW. The 217 reference is fine.

Product Type: Print (FanPro 1st edition, though it appears to be repeated over the TW line) (p. 271 & 273 for Third Release)
Issue: Random skill rolls and tables.
Page: 272-273
The text calls for Clan MechWarriors to apply a +1 bonus to their random skill rolls, while Vehicle crews subtract 1 instead:
"For Clan MechWarriors, add 1 to each roll result; subtract 1 for Clan vehicle warriors."
The table has room for results that go up to 8, which is unreachable on 1D6+1.
Past iterations of the random skill rolls (BMR, BTC) had Clan MechWarriors applying a +2 modifier to their random skill rolls. Vehicle crews had a -2 modifier.
Solution: Either change the text to "For Clan MechWarriors, add 2 to each roll result; subtract 2 for Clan vehicle warriors." or change the charts so that 7 is the maximum result obtainable.

P. 114, Daishi X example:
- carries an SRM4 without Artemis IV
- carries an LRM15 with Artemis IV
Per TM, p. 231, "all applicable launchers on the unit must be enhanced in the same fashion" - which means the SRM4 should also gain Artemis IV.
This in turn means that in the p. 116 example 2 missiles hit which accordingly has to be addressed on p. 120, too.

How about the lengthy explinantion on how 2 hexes of heavy woods and/or 1 hex of light woods and 1 hex of heavy woods blocks LOS? It seems like it'd be easier to say something like "1 hex of heavy woods plus any other wooded hex blocks LOS."
Errata Coordinator: though feedback is valuable, this forum is for reporting errors, not suggestions as to what you'd like to see. Thank you.

Total War page 215, Attacks Against Conventional infantry:**
"Once a non-conventional infantry unit has made a successful attack against a conventional infantry unit, consult the Number of Conventional Troopers Hit column on the Non-Infantry Weapon Damage Against Infantry Table (see p. 216) and compare it to the type and damage value of each weapon that successfully strikes the target to determine how many troops have been eliminated." (Underlining highlights wording to be changed)
Needs to change to:
"Once a non-infantry unit has made a successful attack against a conventional infantry unit, consult the Number of Conventional Troopers Hit column on the Non-Infantry Weapon Damage Against Infantry Table (see p. 216) and compare it to the type and damage value of each weapon that successfully strikes the target to determine how many troops have been eliminated." (Underlining highlights changed wording)
As it stands, the current wording appears to require Battle Armor to use the Non-Infantry Weapon Damage Against Infantry Table just like 'Mechs, Combat Vehicles, etc, since Battle Armor are obviously "non-conventional infantry". However, that contradicts the rules that govern Damage from Other Infantry Units (TW p216) and both the Non-Missile Attacks and Missile Attacks (TW p218) rules in the Battle Armor section, which indicate that Battle Armor damage is applied without refering to the Non-Infantry Weapon Damage Against Infantry Table.

Page 102, example after Underwater Attacks:
Current paragraph:
Finally, the ’Mech in Hex J has partial cover from the units in Hexes A, B, C, D and E. For the units in Hexes A, C, D and E, the partial cover comes from the terrain i MM MM n Hex 4, which is one level below the LOS height of the ’Mech in Hex J, and is adjacent to the ’Mech in Hex J along the LOS. For the DropShip in Hex B, whose LOS does not pass through Hex 4, the ’Mech still has partial cover because it is standing in Depth 1 water.
Suggested correction: All references to "Hex 4" should be to "Hex 5" instead.

PDF, page 264 (unsure of printing)
Problem:
In the Assigning 'Mechs section, under "Notes," the wording of "represent a 'plain vanilla' selection of a faction's force" leaves too much room for interpretation as to how accurately these tables represent a given faction's equipment.
Suggested Change:
Replace "represent a 'plain vanilla' selection of a faction's force, circa 3070" with "are meant to give a 'quick and dirty' approximation of a faction's force, circa 3070, and shouldn't be taken as strict 'canon'." Or something to that effect, to make clear that RATs are a game tool and not canon fluff.

2006 FanPro print, but the Errata doesn't list this yet.
pg 87, End of third paragraph and beginning of fifth paragraph both contain the same sentence "Fighters equipped with VSTOL require five ground-map hexes in which to land."
I suggest removing the second instance, as it is better placed in the third paragraph.

Xotl
The current wording for the Target Acquisition Gear rules (p.142) are rather vague on how it works.
"Targeting acquisition gear designates (or “paints”) an enemy unit to be struck by another unit’s weapons. Instead of making
a to-hit roll for TAG during the Weapon Attack Phase, all units needing to make TAG to-hit rolls do so after the end of the
Movement Phase (Aerospace), but before the beginning of the Weapon Attack Phase (initiative is still followed, however).
To use TAG equipment for target designation, calculate the to-hit number as for a standard weapon attack. Unlike spotting
for indirect LRM fire (see LRM Indirect Fire, p. 111), a unit can use TAG to spot and make a weapon attack with no additional
to-hit penalty."
If the to-hit roll fails (meaning the TAG spotter fails to designate the target), TAG has no further eff ect. If the to-hit roll is successful, the system designates the target for that turn’s Weapon Attack Phase; the target unit is designated for any
number of attacks from any number of units using TAG."
I remember this causing a number of comprehension issues in the past on the forums, and the wording remains the same. There are two issues here. The first is that in comparing use of TAG to LRM indirect fire and using the term "spot and fire" the implication is that TAG may be used to spot for indirect LRM fire, yet as Total Warfare never specifies that this is only the case for Semi-Guided LRMs, we are left with the implication that you can guide standard LRMs with TAG, simply without the benefits listed under Semi-Guided LRMs, but with the benefit given above for TAG.
Secondly, the last part, "units using TAG." has been misinterpreted to mean units carrying the TAG equipment, not weapon systems designed to interact with the TAG designation. I suggest the following rewrite.
"Targeting acquisition gear designates (or “paints”) an enemy unit to be struck by another unit’s weapons. Instead of making
a to-hit roll for TAG during the Weapon Attack Phase, all units needing to make TAG to-hit rolls do so after the end of the
Movement Phase (Aerospace), but before the beginning of the Weapon Attack Phase (initiative is still followed, however).
To use TAG equipment for target designation, calculate the to-hit number as for a standard weapon attack. TAG designation is not the same as spotting for indirect LRM Fire (p.111) and thus no penalty is incurred for weapons fire by the unit using TAG later in the Weapon Attack Phase.
If the to-hit roll fails (meaning the TAG spotter fails to designate the target), TAG has no further effect. If the to-hit roll is successful, the system designates the target for that turn’s Weapon Attack Phase. Friendly units may indirect fire Semi-Guided LRMs at the target unit following all the standard rules for Indirect LRM Fire (p.111), treating the designated target unit as spotted. Other weapons or equipment may benefit from firing on a target designated by TAG, as described in their rules."

Third edition pdf
Cargo Carriers, Movement Penalties, Pg 261
Problem:
Cargo weighing up to a quarter of the carrying unit’s weight subtracts 3 from—or cuts in half, rounding down—the carrier’s Walking/Cruising MP, whichever is less. A unit carrying a load weighing more than a quarter of its own tonnage may only move at half its Walking/Cruising MP (round down).
So going by this wording a 'Mech with normally a 3/5 speed, carrying 15% of it's weight, would be a 0/0, but if it doubled the weight it was carrying to 30%, it's speed would now be 1/2. That doesn't seem right.
Correction: change the part in bold
Cargo weighing up to a quarter of the carrying unit’s weight subtracts 3 from—or cuts in half, rounding down—the carrier’s Walking/Cruising MP, whichever modified speed is greater. A unit carrying a load weighing more than a quarter of its own tonnage may only move at half its Walking/Cruising MP (round down).
-
"...whichever reduction is less." might be an easier way to clarify that statement.

Clan Invas ion (3052, 3057)
Solution: Change "Invas ion" to "Invasion.
Problem: Typo, misspelling, p58
Unit Heights
Various units rise a number of levels above the level of the underlyiing hex they are in, depending on the unit type (see Unit Heights, p. 99, in Combat). These heights must be taken
into consideration when dealing with the stacking limits of each elevation (or depth) in a hex.
Solution: Change "underlyiing" to "underlying".

Dropping to the Ground, page 49.
Problem: The paragraph states that you simply can Drop to the Ground after your movement. It could be argued that you could Drop to the Ground at the end of a Jump movement.
Solution: Add a line that says something like "You may only Drop to the Ground after a Walk or Run movement."

Movement Costs Table, p. 52
Footnote 9 = "Wheeled Support Vehicles with either the Monocycle or Bicycle Chassis and Controls modification can enter a light woods hex."
Correct, but the Monocycle and Bicycle Chassis modifications pertain to both Wheeled and Hover support vehicles, per TM, p. 122. Thus:
- add the footnote 9 to the Hover entry in the Light Woods line
- change the footnote to "Hover and Wheeled Support Vehicles with either the Monocycle or Bicycle Chassis modification can enter a light woods hex."
Also note that the updated notation style is simply "Chassis modification" instead of Chassis and Controls. This also pertains to:
Footnote 6: change to "If a wheeled Support Vehicle lacks the Off-Road Vehicle Chassis modification, then movement costs 1 additional MP per hex."
EDIT: this obviously also applies to the repeat of the table on p. 306.

Aerodyne DropShips/small craft and fixed-wing support vehicles without hardpoints may only make strike and strafing attacks."
-
For future integration into errata, p. 238:
1) Damage is averaged over a number of clusters number of shots fired. In the case of RAC, would that be 6? Or do RACs still use the previous ruling where they do damage in clusters equal to the single shot damage (in 4 clusters)?
RACs do damage in the amount of their base damage. So a RAC/5 does four 5 point hits against a ground target.
2) What happens when damage does not divide evenly? Would a UAC/10 do 15 damage as a cluster of 8 and 7?
Ultras you would do the greater damage in the first shot.

Plasma Weapons and Conventional Infantry
p. 139: under Plasma Weapons. Add the following new section to the bottom of the entry:
Conventional Infantry: Against infantry, the damage dealt by plasma weapons (both the base damage, if any, as well as any variable damage rolled) is not reduced due to the weapon's Type. For example, even though it is a Direct Energy weapon, a Plasma Rifle hit deals its full 10+2D6 damage.
p. 303, 304: Remove AI from both the Plasma Rifle and Plasma Cannon entries.
This would mean that a plasma cannon will kill 3d6 troopers, and a rifle will kill 10+2D6 troopers, before any other modifiers are taken into account. Thank you for your patience as we sorted this one out.

Replace the TAG subsection with the following:
TAG: Not a weapon in its own right, TAG (see p. 142) can be used to designate targets for weapons like laser-guided bombs or semi-guided LRMs. TAG units can be built into a unit’s fuselage in the same way as a weapon or carried as an external pod. A pod-mounted TAG occupies the same space as one bomb. To designate a target, the fighter must be at Altitude 5 or lower. Like a strike attack, the target must lie along the flight path.
The base to-hit number for the system is the warrior’s Gunnery Skill +2. The designating aerospace unit cannot make any other attacks while attempting to designate a target.
A grounded fighter's TAG uses the same firing arc as a weapon in the same location (see p. 236), and uses all rules of TAG use as found on p. 142. A pod-mounted TAG on a grounded aerospace fighter uses the nose firing arc.

roll once for each bomb used in the attack. If the rolls are successful, that bomb hits the target building hex at the level designated."
From pg.245 replace this paragraph:
"Because the VTOL vehicle in Hex D is airborne, the Shiva cannot make an air-to-ground attack and so the strafing
attack has no effect. The Shiva can only attack the airborne VTOL air-to-air. However, the difference in altitudes
between the two units is 2, meaning they must be at least three hexes away from each other for a valid attack. They
are less than three hexes apart, and so neither may attack the other (see Air-to-Air Attacks, p. 241)."
With the following:
"For the VTOL in Hex D: 9 (4 (base to-hit number), +4 (strafing attack modifier) +2 (VTOL movement) +1 (airborne target) -2 (pulse weapon modifier)). If the attack succeeds, the player makes the hit location rolls against the rear of the VTOL."

Unfortunately, he rolls a 5 and the bombs miss their target. For each bomb, he must now roll the direction and distance of deviation. If he’s lucky, they may still land in another hex containing an enemy unit, or—since they are cluster bombs—adjacent to an enemy unit’s hex.
If the bombs had struck Hex B, the player would apply the following damage."

If all the bombs had struck Hex B, the player would apply the following damage."
From pg.247-248, replace the example with the following. Altered text in bold:
"In the strafing example on p. 244, the controlling player of the ground units wishes to attack the aerospace fighter. The Shiva is at Altitude 3 in a hex on the low-altitude map that corresponds with the Canyon map (the ground mapsheet).
First, all of the units on the ground mapsheet have line of sight to the Shiva. (They would have LOS whether
the fighter was at Altitude 1 all the way up to Altitude 8; at Altitude 9 or higher, the units on the ground mapsheet
could not attack the Shiva. See Line of Sight under Airborne Aerospace Units Vs. Airborne Non-Aerospace
Units, p. 99 of the Combat section.)
Next, the ground units’ player must take his units’ firing arcs into consideration. The Shiva is operating on a low altitude
map, and so the line of sight is drawn from the attacking hexes to the closest point on the Shiva's flightline to determine appropriate arcs as follows (see Firing Arcs under Non-Aerospace Units to Airborne Aerospace Units, p. 110 of Combat):
1. Firing arcs do not apply to the infantry in hexes A and B.
2. The vehicle in Hex A can only fire its front-mounted weapons, or turret-mounted weapons if the unit had
a turret and rotated it appropriately during weapon declaration.
3. The fighter is in the rightside arc of the ’Mech in Hex B. The 'Mech may torso-twist to fire its front arc weapons on the fighter
4. The fighter is in the ProtoMech’s rear arc, and so the ProtoMech can only fire on the fighter if it mounts a main gun or arm-mounted weapons.
5. The VTOL in Hex D can only fire its rear-mounted weapons.
6. The WiGE in Hex 1 can only fire right-side mounted weapons.
7. Because the closest point on the Shiva's flightline is equidistant to the ’Mech in Hex 2's front and left arm arcs, the player controlling the player may chose what arc applies. The player controlling the ’Mech in Hex 2 may elect to torso-twist towards the Shiva's flightline, thus ensuring they may use the weapons in theif front firing arc.
As the Shiva is operating on a low-altitude map, the range of the fighter is drawn from the attacking unit’s hex to the nearest hex on the Shiva's flightine, minimum 0. In addition, for each altitude, all attacking non-aerospace units add 2 hexes to the range (see Non-Aerospace Units Attacking Airborne Aerospace Units, p.
107). With that in mind, the ranges for each unit are as follows:
1. The vehicle in Hex A, the ’Mech in Hex B, the ProtoMech in Hex C, and the VTOL in Hex D would all attack the Shiva as though the range
were 6 (all are on the flightline, plus 2 hexes of range per altitude).
2. The range from the WiGE in Hex 1 is 7 (1 hex from the flightline, plus 2 hexes of range per altitude)
3. The range from the ’Mech in Hex 2 is 8 (2 hexes from the flightline, plus 2 hexes of range per altitude).
4. The two infantry units cannot make attacks against airborne aerospace units.
If the Shiva had been at Altitude 1 (NOE), the vehicle in Hex A, the ’Mech in Hex B, the ProtoMech in Hex C, the VTOL in Hex D and the WiGE in Hex 1 would have applied a +1 to-hit modifier, while the ’Mech in Hex 2 would have applied a +2 to-hit modifier for terrain.
Finally, the player must consider the angle of attack (see Angle of Attack, p. 236). The units in hexes A, B, C and D are
attacking the aerospace fighter’s nose and so apply a +1 modifier for angle of attack. The WiGE in Hex 1 is attacking the fighter's right side and ’Mech in Hex 2 is attacking the left side, and so both apply a +2 to-hit modifier.
With the above information determined, the controlling player of the ’Mech in Hex B (a Legacy) determines the exact
to-hit numbers for his weapons. The base range is 0 hexes, +2 hexes for each of the three altitudes for a net range of 6 hexes.
This is medium range for the Legacy’s ER medium lasers and its single Streak SRM-4. The ’Mech’s twin Ultra AC/10s (which
the controlling player opts to fi re at double rate) are at short range. The ER small laser has a maximum range of 5 and thus
cannot be used against the Shiva. The Legacy walked this turn, increasing the to-hit target number modifi er at short range to
5 and at medium range to 7.
The player rolls a 6 and an 11 for the ER medium lasers (one hit, one miss), an 8 for the SRM-4 (which inflicts four 2-point hits) and a 6 and 7 for the Ultra AC/10. He rolls 2D6 twice to see how many AC rounds struck the target and gets a 6 and a 10, which he compares to the appropriate column of the Cluster Hits Table.
One round from the first autocannon and both rounds from the second struck the Shiva, infl icting 43 total points of damage.
Because the attacking unit is launching an assault from the ground against an airborne aerospace unit, the player uses the
Above/Below column of the Aerospace Units Hit Location Table (see p. 237). The ER medium laser hits the fighter’s aft and does 5 points of damage, exceeding the Damage Threshold of 4 and possibly infl icting critical damage to the engine, while the SRM rounds strike the right wing, left wing and aft (x2) for 2 points each (no chance of a critical hit). Two AC rounds strike the right wing for 10 damage points each and one AC round to the nose for 10 points, all exceeding the Damage Thresholds in those locations. The wing hits offer two possible critical hits—a gear hit and a weapon hit—while the nose hit may have done critical damage to sensors.
The player rolls 2D6 for each possible critical hit. He gets 9 for the engine roll (critical), 7 for the gear (no critical), 11 for the wing weapons (taking out one of the pulse lasers) and 7 for the sensor (no critical). The damage takes eff ect immediately; not enough to destroy the aircraft but enough to place it in great danger.
The Shiva’s player must make a Control Roll against a Modified Target Number of 8 (5 (Base To-Hit Number) +2 (+1
for each 20 points of damage sustained), +2 (atmospheric flight), –1 (aerospace fi ghter)). He rolls a 5—a failure—and
the fi ghter goes out of control. Next, he rolls 1D6 to determine the number of altitudes lost and gets a 2. The aircraft drops to
Altitude 1 (NOE), surviving—for now—to continue the fight. If the Shiva were operating under the Aerospace Units on
Ground Mapsheets rules (see p. 91), then the range to the aerospace fi ghter (and attack direction) would have been determined by the fighter’s ending hex and orientation, regardless
of the size of the playing area."

One rules question from quite some time ago led to the following erratum – it was supposed to go into the errata, but seems to have vanished when the board crashed, or in one of the moves.
My version of TW is the second corrected (Catalyst) printing.
p. 41, subsection Damaging A Warrior, paragraph Head Hits: add something like the following: “The MechWarrior does not take damage from a head hit that does not cause at least one point of damage to the 'Mech”.
The reason for this ruling was the new cover rules, which can require the rolling of hit locations for inferno missiles etc (to see if they hit the bits obscured by partial cover).
Acting Errata Coordinator: Thanks!
