Corrected Third Printing, dead tree format with v. 4.4 and 5.0 errata
A small note regarding comparison of the 5.0 TW errata compared to 1.3 BMM errata. The BMM errata under ③ Indirect Fire (p. 31) clarifies, that if a unit is TAG-ed (and thus counts as spotted for LRM fire), and then the spotter fires during Weapons Fire Phase later this turn, then neither the spotter not the unit firing indirectly at the TAG-ed target suffer +1 to hit modifier listed under the final bullet point on p. 30 BMM. The same modifiers are listed i the paragraph directly under the bullet point list on p.111 TW, but no such clarification is made in the TW errata.
Recommendation - add the following sentence between the first and the second sentence of the last paragraph before the example text on p.111 TW: "Neither of those modifiers apply if the spotter successfully designated the spotted unit with a TAG this turn (see p. 142)." or something to that effect.

By Xotl's request from the errata discussion thread I'm reposting my errata report that did not end up in latest errata document.
Note, that some of it is from before the previous errata document (v. 4.4) was published, and could be already rejected by the errata maintainers or simply not included in the document, but still added to new printing, because they were minor editing errors. Since I only own the physical copy of the book, I have no way of checking which. I've marked here all of those pre v. 4.4 reports with a "*".* Pp. 77-78 Rolling
Problem: In the paragraph "Atmospheric Flight: A unit may not roll in atmosphere, but may execute a half-roll special maneuver (see Special Maneuvers, p. 84)" seems slightly incorrect and misleading in it's context. Special Manouveres are defined in such a way, that they have no sense in the space maps even in Atmospheric Rows.
Suggestion: Replace the paragraph with "Low-altitude Flight: A unit may not roll during Low-Altitude Movement, but may execute a half-roll special maneuver (see Special Maneuvers, p. 84)". If rules for reversing left and right sides during High-Altitude Movement are different than in space, add them here.
* P. 89 - add "Carrying Units" section (subsection?) title on top of the page.
* P. 114 X: Explosive Weapon
Change "see Gauss rifle p. 135" to "see Anti-Battle Armor Pods (B-Pods) p. 130 and Gauss Rifle p. 135". Note capital "R" in Gauss Rifle.
P. 142, Nemesis Pod, second sentence
Change "[...]may instead hit the Nemesis-tagged unit, if it is along the LOS between the attacker and the target[...]" to something like "[...]may instead hit the Nemesis-tagged unit, if it is in a hex lying along the LOS between the attacker and the target[...]", as there is no concept of LOS going thru units in Battletech - only thru hexes.
Change or add a clarification to "[...]and a LOS exists between the attacker and the target[...]" to indicate that it is possible to redirect indirect fire even to a unit the attacker has no LOS to (using the rules for indirect LRM fire against Narc-ed targets with no spotter found on p. 139).
