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 74, Clan Ghost Bear Force Building Rules
Force Building Rues: The Executioner, Mad Dog, Viper and Fire Moth are common Ghost Bear ’Mechs. A Clan Ghost Bear player may replace one OmniMech per Star with one of the above of the same weight class (light, medium, heavy, assault). The player may choose the configuration (Prime, A, B, C or D).
The section 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 Mad Dog D variant do not yet exist at Tukayyid as that variant carries ATMs.

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.

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).

The initial errata release for BoT is out. Please note that, as I usually do, this initial version is marked as a PRE version and may change between here and the final release on the website.
Also note that the errata is based on the print version. The current PDF already has many of these errors fixed.

p. 182, Timeline
"Ambush at the Dinju Pass" is listed. No such scenario exists in the 2020 releases, but the 1994 release did have a scenario by that name.
p. 183, Timeline
"ComStar Counterattack" same issue.
Lessons of War, Broken Landing, Swimming to Victory, and Flower Power are not on the Timeline.
Including the Strategic BattleForce scenarios from the Supplemental on the timeline would also be useful, and perhaps sell more product.

Add
CRD-3R Crusader
CRD-2R Crusader (with rare note)
The same page would also seem to be where the GLN-3N Guillotine should be listed. The previous Tukayyid book listed the Guillotine as a mech in use by the ComGuards, even assigning it as the mech of the commander of the 323rd Division.

p17, Salvage note
"Note: The Salvage rule is included here as part of general Warchest rules in Alpha Strike play. As noted above, however,
Salvage rules are not used in Chaos Campaign: Tukayyid play as the in-universe timeframe is too short for salvaged units to
generally be returned to action, especially with the differences between ComStar and Clan technology."
change to
"Note: For the Battle of Tukayyid, all units are recovered by their original owner in all tracks."

p. 103, Com Guards 7th Army is the combatant, but the unit logo shown (red shield) belongs to the 10th Army (which did not participate in the Nova Cat campaign).

The same page would also seem to be where the GLN-3N Guillotine should be listed. The previous Tukayyid book listed the Guillotine as a mech in use by the ComGuards, even assigning it as the mech of the commander of the 323rd Division.
Yeah, just noticed the Guillotine missing as well. Going by most Comstar RATs it should be a common heavy for the Com Guard.
Also, in the JF section, shouldn’t the Turkina be listed as an option for the Falcons to use?
-
PDF first printing but not addressed in 2.0 Errata
Page 169
Replace "Adept VII Epsilon Alice Pollworths" with
"Adept VII Epsilon Alice Pollworth"
Reason: I think you meant Alice Pollworth who a decade later (FM:ComStar p. 31) had risen to Demi-Precentor VIII of the Crazy Players Ill-eta, 31st Division (The Lost Boys IV-theta)
Also, PDF copies on CGL store are still 1st printing.

survive and exit their home edge after 8 turns. [100]"
Should be "Escape (Attacker only): At least 50% of the Attacker’s force must
survive or have exited their home edge after 8 turns. [100]"
The "Track End" special rule says the track ends after 8 turns. It is impossible for the Attacker to retreat units AFTER the game is over.
-
Corrected 2nd Printing
Page 125. Under Game Setup, at the end of the paragraph, should be the following statement: "The Clan side is always the Attacker in this track; the Comstar side is the Defender."
Page 127. Under Game Setup, at the end of the paragraph, should be the following statement: "The Clan side is always the Attacker in this track; the Comstar side is the Defender."

p27, Phalanx Star, Bonus Abilities
replace with:
"The Phalanx Star formation receives the equivalent of a Float Like A Butterfly Special Pilot Ability (see p. 96, ASCE or p. 117, Empire Alone) as a level of the number of units in the formation at Setup plus two. So a Star of 5 ‘Mechs in a Phalanx Star receives a 7-point Float Like A Butterfly Special Pilot Ability Special Ability. It is useable by any unit in the Phalanx Star, rather than limited to any single unit.
This bonus ability may be stacked with a Float Like A Butterfly SPA assigned to one or more of the Phalanx Star's member units. But if this is done, the maximum number of rerolls
a Phalanx Star unit may attempt for the duration of the scenario—between both the pilot’s ability and that provided by this formation bonus—is 4.
-
p136, Hold the Line
add after 282nd Division's Force Building Rules
"Hold The Line: Units in this command get an additional +1 target number modifier for attacks made against them while they are in partial cover or hull-down (see TO:AR p19 or AS:CE p.38)."

p74, Family
"Short range"
change to
"six hexes (AS: 6")"
This never got fixed in the 3.0 errata document
[NCKestrel] Dev note. The (AS: 6") was added, but the six hexes was lost. That was actually the important part of the errata, as BattleTech does not have a singular short range definition, so it's range needs to be specified. (And the difference in "conversion" of six hexes in BT and 6" in AS was intentional).
