Shrapnel #14, Campaign: Water Raid.

Page 193 and 194.  At the end of the Special Conditions section add "Add a cumulative +1 to the dice roll for every roll after the first"

(another cry for no matter how many editing passes you do, do one more!)

Unit Digest: Tarantulas Battalion, p. 139

When the Tarantulas were assembled in 3129, they followed the template set by General Cameron: three Stars of fast heavy and assault OmniMechs, three Stars of Elementals, fifteen hovertanks, and a wing of aerospace fighters.

Fifteen should be changed to forty-five.

Like their sister battalions, the Tarantulas doubled their ground forces, expanding to the size of a full Clan Cluster.

This should be changed to "Like their sister battalions, the Tarantulas doubled their 'Mech and battlesuit forces, and cut their hovertank contingent by a third. They were now nearly the size of a full Clan Cluster."

As the author of this article I probably should have caught this before it was published, but c'est la vie.

Interior art credits, p. 2

Duane Loose is listed. I do not see any of his art in this issue. The Texas-class battleship pictured on pp. 116-117 originally appeared in Technical Readout: 2750 and (I believe) is credited to Dana Knutson, who is not included in the credits for this issue.
