Title: Conversion from Quick-Strike to Alpha Strike

Per Xotl and the Errata coordination team:

For those of you still using Strategic Operations, below is a link to a document that will update the BattleForce and Quick Strike rulesets, as found in the second printing of Strategic Operations, to the new Alpha Strike ruleset:

LBX and HAG weapons are generally where the FLK special ability comes from.

As a semi-related note, the Alpha Strike errata is now available.  See the errata forum or main webpage for details.

On a further related note, I've made a new one-page to-hit modifiers table incorporating all current errata for anyone to use:

EDIT: table deleted, current version now found in AS errata.

Let me know if you find anything wrong with it.
Miscellaneous Modifiers:  I don't see the shield special on there.  I thought that added +1 to hit (for the unit with the equipped shield) on top of absorbing 1 of most incoming damage?

SHLD does add +1 to hit, but that's a fairly niche Special used on very few 'Mechs.  It also permanently modifies any attack by that 'Mech, rather than REAR or IF (which are the only other two Specials applicable to BattleMechs on that table).

Found room, updated with SHLD.

in the grand Daddy of DUMB questions

Why is it the Cephalus gets MAS and STL but the Spector 4F and Exterminator 4C do not?

shouldint the Scarecrow and that XTRO Stealth also get MAS since they use CLPS???

errors.  CLPS should be STL.  Void Sig should be MAS.

Question: where is the Alpha Strike Quick Start Rules PDF?

On the main page, under New to BattleTech.  Scroll down to As a tabletop miniatures game and there is a link to the Alpha Strike Quick Start.

Link in OP is dead.  I'm currently working on a new calculator for my private gaming group.  Would like to share my work with the greater community, but I'm trying to be respectful to Catalyst on what is or is not appropriate regarding copyright rules.  I say this because my calculator does make limited use of some official sources (ie. tables found in the AS Companion book).

Any advice on how to proceed?

I can send a private link to parties that may be interested to review what I have so far.

I am going to unsticky this thread as it has long since served its purpose.
