PDF, 1st Printing
Page 3, "Strategic Update", third para, 2nd line:

"Where the Marik Civil War damaged internal politics and relations with the Star League, the Timothy Leary incident in the Phecda system..."

Page 3, "Strategic Update", third para, 5th line:

"...the attack upon the Timothy Leary placed the Free Worlds League just a whisper away..."

Page 3, "Strategic Update", fifth para, 2nd line:

"...the only exceptions being the draw-up after the Leary incident..."

Problem: Timothy Leary is evidently the name of a spaceship, so it should be italicized.


Page 4: "Goals of the State", third para, 9th line:

"... border incursions put SLS Nashville in dry dock for sixteen months ..."

Problem: Nashville is evidently the name of a spaceship, so it should be italicized.


Page 4: "Goals of the State", third para, 17th line:

" ... venerable FWLS Albert Marik in 2763."

Problem: Albert Marik is evidently the name of a spaceship, so it should be italicized.


Page 6: "Customs Violation" sidebar, third full para:

"... Quikscell merchant vessel Laissez-faire ..."

Problem: Laissez-faire is evidently the name of a spaceship, so it should be italicized.


Page 16: "Regimental Status":

"... 5th Regulan Hussars (Divided Loayalties) ..."

Problem: Loayalties should be Loyalties.


Page 20, "Fleet Status"

Problem: None of the names of the nine squadron flagships are italicized.


Page 23, "League (Destroyer)", third para:

"FWLS Palatine was the last..."

Problem: Palatine is evidently the name of a spaceship, so it should be italicized.

PDF - Field Report 2765: FWLM

Subject: Record Sheets for League (Block I) and League (Block II).

Problem: Aft Record Sheet box is displaced so far down that the text for Aft Damage boxes the "Aft Damage Threshold (Total Armor)"  is besides the boxes instead of below it.  This accrues with both record sheets and happened with Defender's Record Sheet in Field Reports 2765: AFFS.

Page 6, "Academies and Command Centers", third para, 5th line:

"only war college in the Free Worlds League to concentrate solely on infantry MOSs"

Problem: I had to go and look up "MOS" on the internet to learn that in this instance it's probably a US military abbreviation for "Military Occupation Speciality" or "Military Occupation Speciality Code". It's bad practise to include an abbreviation without first using the un-abbreviated version of the term, but I'm also concerned that MOS is a term specific enough to a particular group (the US military, current and former, and those associated with the US military) as to be prone to misinterpretation by those unfamiliar with the term, including most foreign nationals - I've worked with the UK military my entire adult life, and when I saw MOS my first thoughts were "Ministry of Sound? Ministry of Supply? MicroSoft Office Specialist?" I've not seen the term used in any past BattleTech product to refer to specialised trades or roles within the infantry or related services, so I think it might be better to replace it with a more generic term.


Page 10: "Regimental Status":

"14th Marik Militia (Fortitude) G/R Griffin"

Problem: Typo. There is no planet called Griffin. The map on page 25 shows the 14th Marik Militia as being deployed on Griffith.

League Block I (Introduced 2368) shows 1 Dropship Capacity as well as Dropshuttle bays.  According to XTRO Primitives III pg 17, the K-F Boom part of the collar becomes available in 2462.

Should the Block I even have a DS Capacity.
