Pg. 40 under heading Nineteenth Galedon Regulars: Second paragraph is a description of the Benjamin Regulars and appears like it should actually have begun on the next page.

Similarly on Pg. 59, the description of the Night Stalkers begins under "Other Arkab Legion Sub-Commands" instead of on the following page.

Under "Variants" the sentence reads "The z has been in productions for so long..."

Suggestion: Change "z" to "Wasp".

pp 59-60
Issue: Text for "Other Arkab Legion Sub-Commands" is missing, with "Night Stalkers" text beginning in its place.
Correction: Add missing Arkab Legion text, move Night Stalker text to the following page (60). This will likely require removing the sepuku illustration to accommodate the shifted text.

P. 79, Unit Composition retains the one-half rule from Combat Manual: Kurita rather that the more up-to-date one-third rule presented in [Force Manual: Davion].

P. 107, 109 list the Spider SDR-7M as being Common in rarity. P. 101 lists it as being Uncommon. All three instances are during the Early Clan Invasion.

Page 37, Sho-sa Konami Maki

This pilot is listed as using the "Ostsol OTL-5M" during the Late Clan Invasion era.  I suspect that this should be the "Ostsol OTL-5M (Maki)", shown on page 89, due to the comments about "'Mech rebuilt from the inside".

Page 89, Lojtnant Hanssen Mansdottir

This pilot is listed as using the "Atlas AS7-S" during the Late Clan Invasion era.  I suspect that this should be the "AS7-S (Hanssen)", shown later on the same page.

Page 89, New Unit Stats sidebar

Error: Some of the stats for both the Catapult CPLT-K2 (Kasigi) and Griffin GRD-1DS (Almstedt) are switched around.

Correction: The contents of the OV column for these two 'Mechs should be in the S/M/L column, the contents of the S/M/L column should be in the A/S column and the contents of the A/S column should be in the OV column.


Error: The unit described as Griffin GRD-1DS (Almstedt) has the wrong Alphanumeric designation.

Correction: It should be Griffin GRF-1DS (Almstedt)

Excuse the multiple posts, but it seems better than repeatedly updating a single one.

Page 83, Alternate Munitions Sidebar

Error: Tandem Charge SRMs are listed both in Late Succession Wars and also in Late Clan Invasion.  Inferno SRMs are not listed at all.

Suggested Correction:  Replace the first instance of Tanem Charge in the Late Succession Wars era with Inferno

Page 70, Lojtnant Ragnar Magnusson has a Jenner JR7-D in the Late Succession Wars era, and availability is Sword of Light (pre-3017), Rasalhague Regulars (3017-3026), Genyosha (3027+). These are errors because the character is canonically born in 3034, although the Jenner is plausible as a training mech.

The availability correction would be to Third Drak0ns.

Pg. 72, Brazen Raid sidebar.

Errors:
  • missing experience levels for attacker and defender.
  • scenario ends too late and can lead attached to playing a impossible game.

Suggested corrections:
  • add experience levels to attacker and defender like other scenarios
  • change last sentence under "victory conditions" to: The scenario automatically ends when 3 or more loot carrying units are destroyed."

Recon Lance, Early Clan Invasion, Alternate Units

The following line is shown
Sabaku Kaze 1 179 15 Scout C

Problem: None of the stats are correct for the combat vehicle Sabaku Kaze.  The only unit I could find with a BV of 179, is the Marten scout VTOL, although I don't think this would be considered common amongst the DCMS, as it is a Federated Suns vehicle.  The Sabaku Kaze itself already exists as a Late Succession Wars option for the Pursuit Lance, so it would be odd to have it also appear in an Early Clan Invasion options list.

Solution:  I'm not sure whether there was meant to be another unit here instead of the Sabaku Kaze, the line should just be removed or whether the stats should be changed to the correct ones (from p 100)

pg. 27 Kurita Rank Structure (Cont.) sidebar

Error: "Sho-sa" should be in bold to match the rest of the ranks.

pg. 27 Kurita Rank Structure (Cont.) sidebar
Error: "Chu-sa: These officers serve on battalion staff, and are commonly Battalion Executive Officers."

This contradicts HB: Kurita (pg 151) "Chu-sa usually command battalions, though they occasionally serve as regimental executive officers or regimental staff officers"
It also contradicts pg 19 of FM: DC that states the same thing.
FM: Updates also has has Chu-sas commanding battalions on page 116.
It also contradicts later in the product that has multiple Chu-sas commanding Battalions (pg. 40 "Chu-sa Sarah May McDaniels commands a battalion of Galedon regulars", pg 48 "Chu-sa Rafael Espinoz commands second Battalion.."

Fix: Return the wording to that of the Handbook or FM with Chu-sas commanding Battalions.

pg. 27 Kurita Rank Structure (Cont.) sidebar
Error: "Tai-sa: Battalions are commanded by a Tai-sa."

Like Chu-sa, this contradicts pretty much every source, as before, such as HB Kurita (p 151), FM:DC (p 19), FM: U (p. 116). It also contradicts 20 Year Update (p. 40) which lists Tai-sas as commanding regiments. It also contradicts itself later on "The tai-sas who command the regiments answer directly to the Coordinator. (p. 32 FoMa: Kurita) "Tai-sa Narimasa Asano commands the First Genyosha" (p. 52)

pg. 27 Kurita Rank Structure (Cont.) sidebar
Error: "Sho-Sho: Experienced officers serving as General's Aides, as regimental Executive Officers, or as members of the regimental staff."

Fix and bring back in line with all other sources (HB Kurita (p 151), FM:DC (p 19), FM: U (p. 116), FM: 3145 (p. 63) with them as Warlord's or General's Aide or regimental commander.

pg. 27 Kurita Rank Structure (Cont.) sidebar
Error: Tai-Sho: The highest rank in the DCMS, Tai-sho are the regimental commanders."

Fix and bring back in line with all other sources (HB Kurita (p 151), FM:DC (p 19), FM: U (p. 116), FM: 3145 (p. 63)), with them as "prefecture commands, or members of the High Command staff, though some senior regimental commands may also bear this rank." (p 151 HB: Kurita).

"Chu-sa: A chu-sa may be a tai-sa’s executive officer, or may command a battalion (or aerospace wing) in a regiment sized force. The admiralty equivalent is sho-sa (commander), and is either a vessel’s executive officer, or the senior officer overseeing department heads.
Tai-sa: A tai-sa typically commands a regiment. The admiralty equivalent is captain of a JumpShip or DropShip.
Sho-sho: A sho-sho may command one or more regiments, or serve as aide to a warlord or general. The admiralty equivalent is cho-sho (commodore), and commands a flotilla of JumpShips and/or DropShips.

If using the Battlefield Intelligence rules (see AS:CE p. 154), the force can assign the MHQ5 special ability to these units. If not using Battlefield Intelligence rules, as long as an Intelligence Specialist remains on the board and is not destroyed, the force receives a +1 Initiative Modifier."

For the following, there were some where something may not have been errata, so I marked those as “[potential].” For the corrections that need sourcing, they refer to unit descriptions/Orders of Battle for one of the following: (fasa) House Kurita sourcebook [HKSB], FM: Draconis Combine [FM:DC], Historical: War of 3039 [HW39], Historical: Brush Wars [HBW], 20 Year Update [20YU], or Objective Raids [ObjR].

p. 32:
--2nd Sword of Light, under Force Composition: change “add armor regiment” to "1 armor regiment"
p. 34:
--Basic Regimental Structure Box, Company Description: change “three lances/flights” to “three lances/two flights”  (so that it adds up to 12 units in both cases)
--Tai-i Shelly Webster Box: Change “Jenner JR7-D” to “Jenner JR7-D (Webster)
p. 35:
-- Basic Regimental Structure (Cont’d) Box, Regiment Description: change “An aerospace regiment contains three battalions (108 fighters).”  to “An aerospace regiment contains three wings (108 fighters).”
p. 41:
--2nd Galedon Regulars should technically be rated "Green/F” [training cadre, according to FM:DC]
--33nd Galedon Regulars , footnote #3, change to “Formed in 3042, Disbanded in 3052” [removed from rolls between 20YU and ObjR sourcebooks]
--42nd Galedon Regulars is missing its Equipment Rating and ‘Mech force size; should be “Veteran/D” and ‘Mech regiment should be “H/BM/R”. [based on FM:DC]
p. 41:
--[potential] 6th Benjamin Regulars should technically be rated “Green/C pre-3050, Regular/C” [according to HKSB and HW39]
--[potential] 11th Benjamin Regulars should technically be rated “Regular/D pre-3050, Green/D” [according to HKSB and HW39]
p. 47:
--Altenmarkt Militia (right box, force description) is missing its Equipment Rating; should be “Veteran/D” or “Veteran/F” [based on HBW].
p. 51:
--[potential] 8th, 11th, and 15th Alshain Avengers have Equipment Ratings listed as A, B, and B, respectively in FM:DC.
Fix: Change 8th to “Veteran/F, Veteran/A post-3052”; change 11th to “Green/F, Green/B post-3052”; Change 15th to  “Regular/F, Regular/B post-3052”;
p. 55
--Numbering and references for footnotes 4 and 5 are incorrect, based on FM:DC. Should be:
   Fn. 4 should reference 15th SZAC
   Duplicate Fn. 4 should be Fn. “5: Formed in 3058” [from 15th SZAC remnants, according to FM:DC]
p. 54-55
--[potential] most sources from HKSB through FM:DC refer to the Combat Command and its forces as the “Sun Zhang Academy Cadre(s),” not “Sun Zhang Training Cadre(s)”  [Training Cadre is a term Davey Fedrats typically use to describe the Dragon’s future cannon fodder…]
p. 56:
--[potential] 2nd An Ting Legion should technically be rated “Regular/C pre-3050, Veteran/C” [according to HKSB and HW39]
p. 60
--1st Night Stalkers, correct BM regiment composition to “L/BM/R(r)
p. 61
--2nd Shin Legion is missing its Equipment Rating; should be “Veteran/D” or “Veteran/F” based on HW39.
p. 63
--1st Proserpina Hussars, correct BM regiment composition to “M/BM/R(r)
p. 66
--[potential] 3rd Ghost Regiment should technically be rated “Regular/D, Veteran/D post-3052” [according to FM:DC]
--[potential] 6th Ghost Regiment should technically be rated “Regular/B, Veteran/B post-3052” [according to FM:DC]
--9th Ghost Regiment should technically have footnote citing “Disbanded in 3058” [based on Black Dragon novel]
p. 67
--16th Legion of Vega should technically have footnote citing “Formed in (3055-3058)” [formed as new unit sometime between ObjR and FM:DC]
p. 68
--[potential] Ryuken-go should technically be rated “Regular/A*, Veteran/A post-3052” [according to FM:DC]
p. 72
--3rd Hussars is missing its Equipment Rating; should be “Regular/A” or “Regular/B” based on FM:ComStar
p. 74
--[potential] 2nd and 3rd Kavalleri Experience Ratings appear switched; 2nd Kavelleri should be “Regular/C” and 3rd Kavalleri should be “Green/D” [based on FM:ComStar, 20YU, HBW]
p. 84
--Second column, third paragraph: change “so he plans to field one lance of four ’Mechs per lance,” to “so he plans to field two lances of four ’Mechs per lance,”
p. 85
--Force Record Sheet graphic: Mechanized Field Artillery units (fourth formation) should be 12 PV each (not 24 PV each) [to be consistent with text]
p. 88
--Second column, bottom paragraph: change “Fernandez’s family have dedicated themselves to the revival of neo-Japanese culture in the Combine” to “Fernandez’s family has dedicated itself to the revival of neo-Japanese culture in the Combine”

p. 92-109: all errata for these pages are mostly suggestive, given they use the current public MUL as a guideline
--(all formations): Does it make sense for FedCom units to be available as Salvage (“S” designation) in the Late Clan Invasion Era? They essentially have a non-aggression pact 3051-3062
--(all formations): Should the ‘Mechs with a “*” designation in the LSW era be available (without the “*” designation in the corresponding ECI table? This is done in a couple cases, but not all.
--(some formations): some formations have no vehicles listed for the ECI and/or the LCI eras. Just pointing out in case this is not by design.
p. 92
--LSW table: Change “Crockett CRK-5003-2” to “Katana CRK-5003-2” (to be consistent with other references on pp. 95, 96)
--Highlander 733, LSW table: DC has direct access according to the MUL. Implies “RS” should be “R
--Zeus 6S, LSW table: DC has no access according to the MUL. Implies “R” should be “RS
p. 104
--Charger 1A9, LSW table: Should have “C” rather than “C*”” designation based on TRO3039 fluff (is also IntroTech variant not provided by ComStar)
p. 108
--LSW table: Should Panther 9ALAG have “U” designation (for all commands)? “U” designation cited as unique bonus to 1st ALAG in its box on p. 58
p. 109
--Locust 3M, ECI table: should be “U” not “US” based on DC MUL availability (presumably obtained via export)

1) NO DISCUSSION IN ERRATA THREADS
If you're not making a report, don't post in an errata thread (only writers, developers, and MUL Team members may ignore this rule).  This will speed up errata compiling and help ensure your report is not lost in general chatter.

If you want to discuss a piece of errata, or any other part of the errata process, please use the stickied Errata Discussion Thread.
