Two points: first, the old Goblin's nomenclature is as a medium tank, meaning it would appear in armor formations rather than as an infantry fighting vehicle (being the nomenclature for the upgraded version that appeared in 3053).  Second, the first quote from the 20th Marik Militia specifies modern IFVs.  The original Goblin is of First Star League vintage which certainly doesn't make it modern.

Edit: Also note that the flow of arms wasn't one-way out of the Free Worlds.  FedSuns-produced vehicles like the Yellow Jacket, as an example, are available to the FWL; the League also shipped arms to the Combine, yet the FWLM includes Combine-produced tanks like the Pegasus and Maxim as well as the the full range of first-generation OmniMechs (the Firestarter and Blackjack actually being licensed to FWL manufacturers).

Demolisher ii heavy tank (standard) should be 1619 bv, not 1397.

NCKestrel: Corrected, thanks

It appears the Demolisher II (MML)'s BV is 1397. Copy/Paste error?

Shouldn't it populate anyways?
For some reason when you go to enter name, only the Marsden II MBT and Marsden III MBT only populate.  That's not good...unless it suppose do that.

I've noticed that in the past.

Ah, I see what you're saying. It gives a generic "Marsden MBT" for all versions, but the marsden I doesn't get its own. Strange.

Names in the MUL are actually split by name and model.  Warhammer is name, WHM-6R is model.  The search field autopopulates on name only, not model.
The Marsden MBT I has a name of Marsden MBT, and a Model of I.  The Marsden MBT (Standard) has a name of Marsden MBT, and a model of (Standard). 
The Other Models list on a unit also goes by name.  Thus all the Marsden MBT's show as Other Models to one another, because they all have the same name (Marsden MBT), just different models.
The reason Marsden MBT II is showing up, is because there is a a date entry...inconsistency. The primitive Marsden II is listed as Marsden II MBT II (Primitive), while the other Marsden IIs are listed as Marsden MBT II. So that needs to be cleaned up. And the same with the III.

Lee (2756)
Issues: Missing Variants, availability is incorrect, and Role missing
Comment: The variant is from Liberation of Terra V2 (Revised), p. 148-149 - Fluff explains there are 3 variants, CV (aerospace carrier version), Combat Vehicle Transport, and Cargo Transport. None have entries on the MUL. I know it's lacking of record sheets, but they should have entries.  The Ship is suppose to be extinct beyond the Succession War era.  No notes have ever said the ship is back in production beyond that era.   There no role in the article, which is a Mech Carrier (main variant)

RS3050U - Clan/Star League has a record sheet for the Trident 3U showing it with 8 safe thrust,  but it looks like that was an error. checking...Yep, errata was posted.   Thrust and Role updated.

I just read TRO Succession Wars and it stated the only model that ceased production was the -A variant. So the -K model should still have limited availability as the -H model was the dominant production model not sole.

bump - any opinion on modified availability for the -K?

LRM Carrier (3055)
Issue:  IDF value includes Artemis?
Comment:  Shouldn't the IDF value only be 4?  (12 x 3 = 36)   The Artemis Bonus would only be included in the Direct Fire value, not IDF.

http://www.masterunitlist.info/Unit/Details/7145/voidseeker-mk-39-007-striker
The Voidseeker striker is listed as 14 points. I calculate that it should be 31 points
If I take the VoidSeeker Striker ship from the MUL; 3+4+4 for weapons=11, 8*1.5 for armor=12, 4 for structure =4; speed 6*0.25=1.5; ECM=2; Threshold 1*0.25=0.25 11+12+4+1.5+2=31
ASC pp. 142

[NCKestrel] Voidseeker Striker updated. Threshold should be 3 instead of 1, and the medium damage value counts twice, so the PV was higher.

Also
http://www.masterunitlist.info/Unit/Details/7144/voidseeker-mk-39-004-interceptor
If I take the VoidSeeker Interceptor ship from the MUL; 4+4+1 for weapons=9, 7*1.5 for armor=10.5, 4 for structure =4; speed 7*0.25=1.75; PRB & RCN=4; Threshold 1*0.25=0.25 9+11+4+2+4=30

[NCKestrel] Voidseeker Interceptor updated. Threshold should be 3 instead of 1, and the medium damage value counts twice, so the PV was higher.
Thanks for pointing these out, definitely missed updating those PVs!

Timber Wolf Pryde alpha strike Short and Medium damage values are incorrect.  Correct values are 4/4/4 not 6/6/4.

calc:
ER LL x 2 = 2/2/2 & 24 heat
ER ML x 2 = 1.4/1.4/- & 10 heat
ER SL x 1 = .5/.5/- & 2 heat
LRM 20 x2 = 1.8/1.8/1.8 & 12 heat

Total damage 5.7/5.7/3.8
Total Heat Short = 52 (48 weapon + 4 move)
Total heat Medium = 52 (48 weapon + 4 move)
Total heat Long = 28 (24 weapon + 4 move)
Heat Dissipation = 32
Heat Modified Damage
Short: (5.7 × 32) ÷ (52 – 4) = 3.8 (round up to 4)
Medium: (5.7 × 32) ÷ (52 – 4) = 3.8 (round up to 4)
Long = 4 as total heat is less than dissipation at long range

[NCKestrel] Fixed. Thanks.

Why does the Strider B get LRM1/1/1 when it has damage values 1/2/2? It’s entire armament is 2 LRM10s. Shouldn’t the damage and special values match?

Standard damage values round up. Special abilities round normal. So a 1.2 (two LRM-10s) would be 2 for standard M/L but a 1 for LRM.

We would have to look at them but I suspect the field manual is incorrect. With that said, 3085 is the tail end of the Jihad era.

For comparison . . .

IS Std BA is 3/5 on DC, 3/5/7 on CC, 7 on FWL, 4 on LC, 5/12 on merc and 7 on Republic
GDL Scout is 5 on LC, 7 on Merc, not on DC, CC, FWL or Republic
Rabid is 17 on DC, 21 on Republic and not on others

Since there is not a IS General RAT its hard IMO to say what that component would be for the MUL.  I am not saying they are widely available, but the MUL has the Fire Moth available to the FS or IS General for that period as well.

Revisiting an old question, so by this part " the Draconis Combine has at least one other Catapult assigned to Brion’s Legion, but no others have been deployed with any regular Kurita unit." is the assumption then that the Catapult in Brion's Legion is not a K2 series?  Also one other Catapult is listed in use by House Kurita, in the Shaw District, Barlow's End on 29 September 3026, piloted by Chu-i Isabella Armstrong of the Ryuken, (first line of pg 171 of chp 19 of Wolves on the Border)

So I guess I am question the totality of the extinction between 3020 and 3033 of the CPLT-K2.. or if it's just for all intents and purposes that the Catapult as a whole i extinct in House Kurita (or in such low numbers ass to be functionally extinct).  Mostly due to the various comments about how CGL and HBS are trying to work in lockstep with Canon, but HBS did recently announce the addition of the K2 to the game, (though admittedly in the forgotten reaches of the periphery, and so as such maybe has no bearing on it's "official" status in the Inner Sphere?)

I think I confused myself.  Sorry about that.



Opposite direction, it's ancient.
TR3025 Catapult entry says "One of House Kurita’s few Catapults was lost to Davion forces during the battle for the planet Hoff; the Draconis Combine has at least one other Catapult assigned to Brion’s Legion, but no others have been deployed with any regular Kurita unit.”  And that's for all Catapult's for Kurita.  Since Kurita has no Catapults from 3020 (Hoff was 3019) until some undefined later date that's at least post 3025, and only Kurita has K2s, there's no K2s after Hoff until Kurita starts new production of K2s in 3033.
