Third Lyran Guard RCT, p126
GrummanCRI is not involved in 'Mech production. Should read:
"From there, the Guards continued to use their armor and infantry assets to raid Melissia, plundering the warehouses of the former Grumman-CRI factory now producing tanks and 'Mechs for the Falcons."

p. 256:

Change the Radical Heat Sink footnote marker to a double-dagger.  Remove the information about that item in the single-dagger footnote.  Insert the following new footnote:

‡This system has no BV value of its own. Instead, multiply the unit's number of heat sinks by 0.4, rounding up. Add the resulting value to the unit's heat sink capacity when calculating its Heat Efficiency/Offensive Battle Value.

Not sure if error or intentional:

p. 124; regarding the Lyran Royal Guards: "each applicant has to go through extensive background checks by LIC before they are allowed such close access to the Archon."
Similar entries on the LIC checking the loyalty of LCAF personnel can be found on the pages 127, 129, and 130.

In most contemporary, western militaries such a job would fall to the military (counter-)intelligence, not the civilian intelligence. Likewise I would have expected the LCAF's MID, if it still exists; it was last mentioned in the FM:LA, iirc.

Dev level errata:

Page 244, Re-Engineered Laser, Game Rules:

Replace the first two sentences with "Even though they are technically pulse lasers, re-engineered lasers only apply a –1 to-hit modifier to weapon attacks, as their pulses are too brief and close together to gain the full targeting modifier of such weapons."

Page 256, Re-Engineered Laser entries, under Type and Heat (Aero) should read:

Weapon/Item    Type   Heat (Aero)
Small Re-engineered Laser    P   4 (4)
Medium Re-engineered Laser    P   6 (6)
Large Re-engineered Laser    P   9 (9)

Small Re-engineered Laser       14
Medium Re-engineered Laser       65
Large Re-engineered Laser       161

Location: Under "Coventry Province" the 14th and 15th Lyran Regulars are shown as subunits of the 9th Lyran Regulars and have no equipment rating.
Correction: Adjust inset to give the 14th and 15th their own proper entry and assign RAT quality ratings

"Thera-class Delos remains stranded in orbit" Change Delos to Santorini.

As there has been some confusion and contradictory errata statements, the stranded WarShip is the Santorini and it remains above Oriente. All references to the Delos should be omitted.

Quote
The Duchy’s forces were unable to withstand the sudden Lyran assault, and—after the Eighth Lyran Guards landed on Tamarind itself—a ceasefire was signed between the two realms on 14 December 3137.

Error: Incorrect regiment. The Eighth Guards were stationed on the Falcon front, and Fire at Will places the Third Lyran Regulars on Tamarind instead.
Correction: Replace Eighth Lyran Guards with Third Lyran Regulars.

PDF, 1st printing

p. 18
"his words carried little weight beyond the EMpire borders."
Correction: Change to "Empire" or "Empire's" depending on style manual used.


p. 60
"Tai-sa Takeji Yoshizawa won the Silver Claw for claiming nine ’Mech kills taking Sakhara IV"
Correction: Sakhara V

p. 122
"The first week of July 3142 saw heavy fighting around the Nagelring"
Issue:  Alaric issued his batchall 9 July 3143, and the Nagelring was assaulted 13 July (Tomahawk II, TRO3145 p. 180, TRO3145 Clans p. 52). The 2nd Royal Guard would relocate to the Tatyana Islands by the 15th to face the Falcons (Adder, RG3 p. 12).
Correction: replace "first week" with "second week" and 3142 with 3143

p. 124
"the Second took heavy casualties during the fighting around the Nagelring and Tharkad City against the Wolves."
Issue: Also faced the Falcons, see entry for p. 122
Correction: Replace with ""the Second took heavy casualties during the fighting around the Nagelring and Tharkad City against the Wolves, and the Tatyana Islands against the Falcons."
NOTE: Alternatively RG3 p. 12 can be changed from the 2nd Royal to the 3rd Royal who were noted as arriving on Tharkad just prior to the Falcons and were presumably engaged by them on Tatyana. Also accounts for why Wolf PWSs & CWS Rogue didn't interdict the 3rd's arrival, since they would be bid in the Falcon Trial, not the Wolf.

p. 125
"only the Twentieth and Twenty-fifth Guards made it to Tharkad to support the LCAF forces on world. In the bitter fighting there, both of these Arcturan Guards regiments were destroyed."
Issue: Text later that page states the 26th was present for the fighting.
Correction: Replace with "only the Twentieth, Twenty-fifth, and Twenty-sixth Guards made it to Tharkad to support the LCAF forces on world. In the bitter fighting there, the former two of these Arcturan Guards regiments were destroyed."

The Taurian Guard and Concordat Jaegers experience/tech ratings do not match their descriptions.

The Guard are listed as having a Veteran (PDF page 201) experience level when the unit description reads:
"Stationed on Taurus since the Jihad, the Taurian Guard has seen
some of the lowest amount of actual combat in the TDF. Only the
high quality of regiment’s officers keeps its collective skill above that
of totally inexperienced cadet class." - PDF page 194

The Jaegers are listed as having a Regular experience level and a Tech rating of C (PDF pg 201). Unit description reads:
"The Concordat Jaegers are arguably the best-equipped force in
the TDF, and they have good reason to be. Stationed on the worlds
of Jansen’s Hold and Midale, the Jaegers see more combat than any
other Concordat command. Not only are they subject to continual
raids from the Capellan Confederation and the Federated Suns, but
Protector Doru also employs the Jaegers as his primary retaliatory
strike force." - PDF pg 194

Book, 1st printing

p.79, First Periphery Guard, second paragraph
"The First uses the standard Periphery Guard paint scheme of ash gray"

Replace "ash" with "dark", per CSO.

p.79, Fifth Periphery Guard, second paragraph
"The Fifth uses a bright red accent instead of the standard white highlights"

Reword to read "The Fifth adds a bright red accent".  There are no standard white highlights on the Periphery Guard scheme, per CSO.
