Hello,

Read the BattleMech entries last night, here are a couple I remember seeing:

P.36, Agrotera entry, "Deployment": "During the Capellan invasion of Cumberland in 3144 a mixed unit of Agroteras and Yinghuchongs... ...the same role as the Yinghuchongs."
versus
PP.30-31, YHC-3E Yinghuochong entry: Yinghuochong appears with this spelling 15 times.

P.30, YHC-3E Yinghuochong entry, "Deployment": "With daytime temperatures exceeding fifty-seven degrees and nights dropping as low as nineteen..." (57oC is scorching, but 19 is a very comfortable ~70oF.  I suspect you meant -19oC)
"Zhong-shao Liko Shaiu" profile: "He was promoted to for his actions..." (to a new rank? or should this be removed?)

P.34, RVN-5X Raven II entry, "Deployment": "The Raven’s extra speed and stealth armor help them surprise and eliminate..." ("helped" maintains the tense of anecdote)

P.36, AGT-1A Agrotera entry, "Deployment": "...the Capellans would single out a straggling or otherwise vulnerable heavy or assault ’Mech target it with all four of their PPCs." (bad grammar, meaning unclear)

TSEMP (mentioned a lot in some of the entries) does not have rules, just tonnage, mass, heat, range.  Is this an omission?

TSEMP rules will be included in Field Manual 3145 later this year.

TSEMP rules will be included in Field Manual 3145 later this year.

Thanks DarkISI!

More issues:

P.40, CPTL-L7 Catapult II entry, "Deployment": "The L7L variant participated in the attack on New Syrtis, where it distinguished itself in a urban brawl." (should be "an")
"Stinger" profile: "The Wild Ones has embraced..." (I realize "The Wild Ones" is a single unit's name, but it sounds awkward.  Perhaps "The Wild Ones regiment has embraced..."

P.30, Yinghuochong (or Yinghuchong?) profile: Was a translation of Yinghuochong intentionally omitted?  I cannot presently recall one 'Mech name from any foreign language without its translation.

P.44, Tian-Zong entry, "Deployment": "... the Sixth Syrtis Fusiliers LCT and the reconstituted Forty-second Avalon Hussars LCT...  catching the AFFS regiments mid-rotation..." (Unless you are writing about the entire, combined arms formation, LCTs are smaller than regiments, they possess reinforced battalions of 'Mechs)

P.46, Lu Wei Bing entry, "Deployment": "...the Republic was unable to dispatch them nor were they able to find good shots against the fire-support units with their stealth armor. Attempts to advance on the fire support unit..." (confusing - only upon reading this 3 times did I realize this was the other, aforementioned group of Archers, Cataphracts, and Jinggaus.)

Error:
Page 1, under fact checkers, "Elliotte Wante" should be "Elliotte Want".

PDF

GN-20 Gùn, Pg 26:
" The last of the miners were flushed out using the A configuration’s Bloodhound Active Probe."
Only the B configuration has a BAP

CPLT-L7 Catapult II, Pg 41 and Record Sheet:
The BV are different in those two pages. Pg 41 has BV = 2783 and the record sheet has a BV = 2574

Regarding the Gun Omnimech Alternate Configuration A on Page 27, the Heavy PPC is located in the RA, which can only hold 2 crit spaces.  Suggestion:  Change the location to the RT, as that location can hold 4 crit spaces, or if you must mount the Heavy PPC in the RA, shift the endo-steel criticals between the RA and RT so that they swap free crit spaces.

The critical space listing on page 27 assumes lower arm and hand actuators are present (as do other Omni critical listings).  None of the Gùn configurations mount those actuators.  Even if the Gùn did sometimes carry them, the A wouldn't have them on the right arm anyway since Omnis can't mount lower arm and hand actuators on the same arm as a PPC, Gauss rifle, or autocannon pod.

You can see what I'm talking about with the critical arrangements on the Gùn's record sheets on pages 74-76.

Shen Long Battle Armor, pg 7:
Not enough slots to mount equipment, a heavy quad has 9 slots, so its over by 1 slot

Breakdown:
Mimetic Armor: 7 slots
Turret: 2 slots
ECM: 1 slot

The ECM is part of the Interdictor configuration and is mounted in the turret.

Technical Readout: 3145 Capellan Confederation PDF - CPLT-L7 Catapult II Pages 41 & 87

Problem: Conflicting BV with main article and Record Sheet.  Article (p. 41) lists the Battle Value being 2,783, while Record Sheet is 2,574.  MUL also lists the main model of L7 version being 2,574.  I do not have means double check the L7's bv due to the newish TSEMP Cannons.   Can this be looked at.  At least the entry for the Catapult II's BV in this TRO be corrected its corrisponding bv2?

[Pa Weasley]

p.37 & p.83 (record sheet)
AGT-1A Agrotera
BV: 1,608

p.43 & p.89 (record sheet)
MS-1A Mortis
BV: 1,847

p.90
MS-1P Mortis
BV: 2,212

[DarkISI]

FYI:
Those new errata values are dev-level errata made necessary by the AES BV change. (Pa Weasly has taken over BV calculations from me, so I can focus on necessary rules changes, like this one, and new rules. Thank you for that :))

Nisos Attack WiGE, "Deployement", p. 10

Problem: The last sentence of the 2nd paragraph has a typo that, while not terribly important to game play, makes this detail of the story unclear.

"A screening force of six VTOLs supported by a flight of conventional fighters moved the bayou followed by a battalion of CCAF ’Mechs."

Solution: Add a preposition or change the verb.

[ShroudedSciuridae]

p. 40

"There, they faced determined resistance from members of the Ridgebrook Capellan March Militia and Fifth Crucis Lancers"

Issue: Ridgebrook CMM hasn't existed since the Calderon Accords.
Correction: Replace with Mandaree CMM per Field Manual: 3145,  p. 81


p. 12, Shun, Sang-wei Andrea Hamann

"During the Guards’ invasion of Taygeta, the sang-wei flew her Shun directly into the teeth of the Syrtis Fusiliers."
Issue: The Guards clashed with the First Syrtis Fusiliers on Avigait, shortly before Taygeta (which was defended by the Ridgebrook/Mandaree CMM above and the Fifth Crucis Lancers). While not impossible the Fusiliers retreated to Taygeta only to be hammered again, the world was described as being stripped of most defenses to shore up New Syrtis. This is the only source that places the Fusiliers on Taygeta.
Correction: Replace Taygeta with Avigait or Syrtis Fusiliers with Crucis Lancers.
