* pdf of Operation Klondike
* 1st printing
* Wolverine II TRO Comm System is listed as Dalban Commline
* The Wolverine II is presented as an improvement and refinement of the original Wolverine. The Wolverine was noted as having the exceptional TEK Battlecom communication system, but the Wolverine II switches to the old Dalban Commline typical of early Age of War 'Mechs.
* I'd suggest using the TEK Battlecom, or perhaps a refinement of it (e.g., TEK Battlecom II).

PDF, p.106:

'...Nicholas succumbed to the "Curse of Eden"...'

and p.140:

"...Nicholas succumbed to the pathogen..."

The word succumbed suggests that Nicholas Kerensky died from the effects of the virus.  This should be changed to contracted.

Page 119
Colleen Schmitt is named as the granddaughter of the commander of the Royal Black Watch, killed during the Amaris uprising.

This is contradicted by many sources that state Colleen Schmitt was the daughter of Hanni Schmitt, last commander of the RBW. (Most notably FM : Crusader Clans )

Version: skipped as per template instruction
Location: page 85 (print), 86 (pdf)
The Error:
Quote
It soon became apparent that her injuries were more
severe than first thought and she was evacuated to the SLS
Moorfields, a Condor-class medical DropShip where she died on
26 October, the most senior Clan officer to perish in the Dagda
campaign.
The Condor class was introduced in 2801 in the Inner Sphere (see MUL, DS&JS, TRO3057), several years after the Exodus.
The Correction: replace Condor with another drop ship class

P. 159, "Von Luckner"

There are two SLDF Royal Variants of the Von Luckner described on p. 159. The first Von Luckner with the LRM-15.

Problem: The second Von Luckner appears to be 1 ton too light.
Solutions: Possible fixes could include adding an additional ton of LRM ammo, an additional ton of armor, CASE, etc.

Page 5, time stamp for intro story

The date given is 2 June 2821. However, multiple other places in the same sourcebook, most prominently page 33, give the start date of Klondike as 2 July 2821.

FIX: Change time stamp of intro story from June to July

Page 80, part of "Dagda", a moon of Dagda is named "Medb" consistently in the text.
Page 137, Dagda planetary profile, that same moon is spelled "Mebd" in two places.
The other names involved are from Irish mythology, and "Medb" is an early spelling of "Meadhbh", a figure in Irish myth, while Google Translate consider "mebd" to be Czech.

Fix: Page 80 is correct, on page 137 change both instances of "Mebd" to "Medb".
