PDF, First Printing
Page 120, right column, 4th paragraph

Quote
Save for some infighting within the Lyran intelligence community, Vedet’s coup was surprisingly bloodless; aside from some infighting within the Lyran intelligence community, the most grievous responses came in the form of choice words and acts of passive-aggressive defiance from a few vocal field officers and regional commanders.

Suggested correction: Delete the first instance of the phrase.

Field Manual 3145 PDF- Page 185- General Review- Caledron Protectorate

Minor Problem: Perhaps, most surprising was Fist Prince Harrison Davion's formal recognition over the entire Taurian Concordat in 3100, . . .

Solution: Change Fist to First

p 213.  PDF

In the chart for Equipment levels on mechs Stone's brigade receives a +24 to rolls. The Hastati Sentinels receive a +16 to rolls.

On the actual RAT the Republic only goes up to 28 results. So anything above a roll of two would push Stone's Brigade off the chart.

Suggested Correction:

Stone's Brigade +16
Hastati Sentinels +12

1) Calderon Protectorate should be added to the list who roll on the Periphery (General) RATs
2) Stone's Brigade gets a +16 to their battlemech rolls, not a +24.
3) Periphery (General) Battle Armour rolls for A should be +6, with presumably +4 for B, and +2 for C.

PDF, Page 215, FWL RAT Mechs

Heavy BattleMechs, on a roll of 5:
GLT-3M Guillotine [70] (3050U-C)
There's no 3M; most likely 3N oder 5M was intended.

PDF, Page 216, FWL States Sub-table
Assault BattleMechs, on a roll of 12 for Ducal Guard etc.
EMP-6M2 Emperor [90] (3058U-C)
There's no 6M2; most likely 6M was intended.

p. 246:

"In addition to providing a +2 modifier to all rolls"

CHANGE TO:

"In addition to providing a -2 modifier to all rolls"

Harjel II and III are much better than standard, but not quite as good as Harjel 1 at stopping breaches. Of course, they bring other advantages.
The solution is just ignore Paul.

Not an error. Quite a few worlds have dropped off the map since the end of the Jihad.

Pg. 234, PDF second release (with maps)

The Xerxes (85 tons) is listed on the Medium Fighters table on the 18 spot for the Free Worlds League.  That's very obviously not a medium fighter.  Similarly, the Jagatai on the 20 spot is 70 tons, and also not a Medium Fighter.

Suggestion: Replace these two entries with actual Medium fighters.

Rules clarification

PDF, pg 242, Heat dissipating armor

Quote
Game Rules: As long as the location struck still has at least 1 point of armor remaining, Heat-Dissipating Armor reduces the heat
effects from flamers, plasma weapons, infernos, and other external sources (including fire) by half (rounding down).

How does heat from external sources (fires) work with patchwork heat dissipating armor? 

If I walk through/stand in a burning hex, how would patchwork heat dissipating armor work?

As per the rules stickied at the top of this forum, if you don't know the answer, please post in the appropriate CGL Interaction forum (Rules Questions, Ask The Devs, etc) instead of here.  Errata is generally for confirmed answers - for the most part I can't answer a question anymore than you can.

In this case, Supplementary Rules would be the place to check.  Thank you.

"If the rolls equals or exceeds the number indicated in the Avoid Failure On column, the device continues to work normally."

AFTER THIS ADD:

"If the roll is less than the number indicated on the Avoid Failure On column, apply 1 critical hit to the RHS. Assign the damage to the top-most available critical space."

p. 186, Fronc Reaches, second paragraph

"The boom in the Reaches’ economy allowed President Handley to start a colonization (with settlers from Capellan and now independent worlds) and small-scale terraforming program in three systems starting in 3099: Appian, Mandalas, and Tincalunus."

Problem: according to various maps - including those in FM: 3145 the name of the planet or system is Tincalunas, not Tincalunus.

p. 189, Filtvelt Coalition,first paragraph

"Cal-Boeing of Dorwinion expanded its production off of Filtvelt to Lackland in order to produce the Aurora-class DropShip (under contract), and to introduce its own line of endo-steel, CBD Endo-Lite, whose primary buyer is Coalition Armor Inc."

Problem: according to the Hound entry in TRO:3145 Mercenaries, the name of the company is Coalition Armory inc. One or other source is incorrect.

p. 199, Fronc Reaches, First Fronc Cuirassiers

"These mini formations are able to operate independently, as they must often do on their assigned worlds of McEvan’s Sacrifice and Portland."

Problem: According to maps in various sources (including FM:3145) the name of the Fronc Reachs system is McEvans' Sacrifice, not McEvan's Sacrifice.

p. 203, Fronc Reaches, First Fronc Cuirassiers

Problem: The misspelling of McEvans' Sacrifice as McEvan's Sacrifice is repeated in the deployment table for the First Fronc Cuirassies on page 203.

p. 188, Marian Hegemony, First Paragraph

"Alphard Trading Company, spared during the Word of Blake’s attack on Alphard, has dramatically expanded its production..."

Problem: The previously established name for ATC is the Alphard Trading Corporation; it was confirmed in the Ask The Writers forum the reference to the Alphard Trading Company is a typo.

p. 189, Filtvelt Coalition, First Paragraph

"... and to introduce its own line of endo-steel, CBD Endo-Lite, whose primary buyer is Coalition Armor Inc."

Problem: According to Objectives: Periphery (p.24) and Technical Readout 3145: Mercenaries (p. 38, Hound entry) the name of the company is Coalition Armory Inc., not Coalition Armor Inc.

FORMAT: PDF
LOCATION: Page 172, under 'THETA GALAXY'
ERROR: Galaxy Commander James Devon is listed as commander of the 6th Bear Regulars. As Timon Hall is listed just above as Galaxy Commander and the following Galaxy (Kappa Galaxy) lists James Devon as both its Galaxy Commander and CO of the 4th Bear Regulars, I suspect the 6th Regulars listing is in error.
CORRECTION: The 6th Bear Regulars should list their CO as Galaxy Commander Timon Hall.

"Led by a cadre of officers drawn from Stone’s Revenants, the Defenders closely resemble a Sun Tzu Academy Cadre of the Draconis Combine."
