Given some of the mockups shown previously, I tend to think the Mad Cats are just placeholders for later art (remember that the cover we were shown earlier for the Manual was of a Rifleman)
I understand, and in most of the examples, it doesn't actually matter. In this example, I think it actually makes the example a bit confusing if they don't happen to end up with unique top-down images. Any of the other examples that also did this (skidding for example) but it didn't make them unclear, I didn't mention.
Also, a couple more that may have already been mentioned:
p.55: Domino Effect, second paragraph. I would change the end of that sentence to read: "...or randomly determined if the falling 'Mech entered the hex from directly above." Without explicitly saying 'the falling 'Mech' I was having a little trouble figuring out which of the two 'mechs was entering which hex.
p.55: Multiple Domino Effects, first sentence: should read, "...the unintentional movement of THE other 'Mech, and if..."
p.55: Multiple Domino Effects, last sentence: the word 'stilled' should be 'still'.
p.60: To me, it would be more clear if the heavy/light woods/jungle ONLY mentioned the modifier for that type of terrain, not the mods for both heavy and light in the LOS sections. So for example, heavy woods would read, "Three or more points of intervening woods/jungle block LOS. Heavy Woods is worth 2 points."
p.65: Underwater LOS Table, Footnote 7: This is slightly confusing. Could be interpreted to mean leg weapons always hit leg and vice versa instead of being a hit for leg locations and a miss for anything else. Maybe say, "Leg weapons are treated as attacker underwater. Torso and arm weapons are treated as attacker on ground." That should end up pointing players to footnotes 3 and 4 appropriately.
p.71: Levels. Last paragraph seems to say the exact same thing for entering a hex one level lower and a hex one-or-two levels lower. Something is either duplicated or missing here.
General Note: I found the background image on only the odd pages to be so dark in the lower central area that it makes reading the text difficult. The even pages are OK, it's the just odd pages. That dark 'smudge' down at the bottom is just too close to the black text color and I can't read it as well as the rest of the page.
EDIT:
p.72 second paragraph of the page should begin, "Missed shots aimed..." shots needs to be plural.
p.72 Physical Attacks. in the last sentence where it says, "...on the same level of the building hex..." I think it should just be 'building', not 'building hex'.
