Skim-through complete! Now to go back and actually take in what was said in the text. ;D
All errata come from the first 'printing' .pdf. All quotes taken directly from text, with the problem
in bold blue text. Suggested fixes follow the quotes.
... Khan Chistu declares the Refusal War to be a Trial of Absorption and Ritual of Abjuration against Clan Wolf. Clan Jade Falcon Absorb’s Clan Wolf.
Should be "Absorbs". (The apostrophe indicates a possessive, which is unnecessary here.)
In taped message sent to ComStar Ulric Kerensky reveals his last act as ilKhan:
Should be "In a taped message ..."
Driving hard, the Falcons eventually pushed the Vipers’ to their capital of Waldorff, where the leadership of both Clans ...
Should be "Vipers". (The apostrophe indicates a possessive, which is unnecessary here.)
... It would be few years before the Hell’s Horses returned to the Inner Sphere, but they would not do so as the Wolves’ supposed vassals.
Should be "It would be a few years"
The Black Dragons who planned the attack did so with poor intelligence, but few doubt that they would have held the Avengers back even if they had known what they were getting into.
Should be "but few believe"
(In this context the original was a double-negative, implying 'many believe that they would have held back the Avengers', which is clearly not the case.)
[7 July] Bulldog’s second wave ends. All Clan Nova Cat worlds have been returned to Draconis Combine, and the Star League prepares for the inevitable Smoke Jaguar counterattack.
Should be "... to the Draconis Combine, ..."
With the ruler’s attention focused so tightly across the stars toward the Clans, the lesser nobles of the Federated Commonwealth’s marches had a freer reign than might have been wise.
Should be "freer rein". (The expression 'free rein' derives from horse-riding, not statecraft.)
... but even with mercenary reinforcements from the some of the most elite units in the Inner Sphere the Falcons took — and held — Coventry.
Should be "from some of the"
Not even the mighty Lyrans, long-admitted to be among the best of merchants, could compete with the sheet output of Free Worlds League factories.
Should be "sheer".
Orphaned formations and broken units coalesced across the Inner Sphere new units.
Should be "across the Inner Sphere coalesced into new units."
Even when House Davion’s forces captured their homeworld of Northwind in 2841, the regiments remained loyal their coin and stayed in Confederation service.
Should be "remained loyal to their coin"
Long considered little more than a bandit kingdom, the Hegemony took real steps toward becoming an actual responsible interstellar polity in the years of the later Clan invasion.
Should be "in the later years of the Clan invasion." (Shouldn't it? IIRC, the Hegemony only started its rise in the late '50s,
not before/during Operation REVIVAL.)
The Falcon Incursion, as it would come to be called, would be significant distraction from the news of the FC civil war, but again the Falcons would fail to secure large gains.
Should be "would be a significant distraction"
None of his fellow Jade Falcon adoptees have risen above the rank of MechWarrior, only Star Colonel Ragnar of the Ghost Bears and Khan Phelan Kell of the Exiled Wolves have risen higher.
Should be "MechWarrior, and only". (Alternatively, turn the comma into a semi-colon.)
Each contact between the two forces was like flint striking sparks, and by the time the Ijoris lifted off-world both the Fusiliers and the Capellan unit had been severely blooded.
Should be "bloodied". (Inexperienced troops who see their first combat have been 'blooded'. A badly wounded/damaged unit has been 'bloodied'.)
Once the Clans were defeated and Operation Scorpion put down, Focht partnered with Sharilar Mori reform the theological order and make them more ready to face the threat of the Clans when the Truce of Tukayyid expired.
Should be "Sharilar Mori to reform"
Escorting the Primus to Precentor Martial Focht, on Tukayyid, she made her report about the Blakists activities and waited to be relieved.
Should be "Blakists’", as this usage is possessive.
The powerful legions were more than a match for small defense forces of the Lothian worlds,
Should be "a match for the small defense forces"
and the prospect of fifteen years impatient waiting until the invasion could resume,
Should be "years’", as this usage is possessive.

Although specialized munitions had often been used before, even during the technological dead zone of the Succession Wars, but it wasn’t until the Clans arrived and forced the armies of the Inner Sphere to fully recognize the value of combined arms and versatile tactics that they standardized such matters.
The paragraph starts with an 'although' that makes this 'but' redundant; it should be deleted.
Capable of firing three types of missiles — an extended-range version that outpaces the standard long-range missile, a standard ATM that melds the longer range of an LRM with the larger warhead of an SRM, and high-explosive warheads that mimic the range profile of a short-range missile with larger, more damaging warheads.
This may not be an error
per se, but this is a description without a subject; I believe MS Word would call this a 'sentence fragment'. Perhaps the sentence should start "The ATM system is capable of firing" and go on from there.
The Federated-Commonwealth, already planning the development ...
Should be "Federated Commonwealth" (no hyphen needed nor wanted).
Most military forces will not fi ght to the last man.
Should be "fight".

Two sets of brackets are opened in this sentence, but the leading one (which encloses the whole sentence) is not closed at its end; only the bracket containing the rules-reference is properly closed. The sentence should end "being used (see p.273,
TW).)"

Should be "Each player selects one unit and assigns it".

Should be "Its".
Selects one unit and assign it a Gunnery Skill Level of 2 and Piloting Skill Level of 3 ...

Please clarify: is this a bonus (which should be -1) or a penalty (which should be +1)?
... is so distracting that they receive a –1 to-hit penalty any time the Initiative bonus is in effect.
Should be "+1 to-hit penalty".
While it's not possibly not an outright error, I find it interesting that the p.149 Clan RATs give the Ghost Bears access to the
Cauldron-Born on an 11, but the Smoke Jaguars don't have it on their RAT at all! Being that the Jaguars
developed the
Cauldron-Born and were making it one of their signature designs, I would have expected it to feature prominently on their column of the RAT to give it a proper 'Jaguar flavour'. :-\
The people lucky enough to remain the few Rasalhague worlds still free were at once defiant ...
Should be "remain on the".

... Yeah, this got a little exacting. Blame it on twelve years of (beta-)reading fan-fiction. ;D Believe it or not, this
doesn't include some 'errors' I found/perceived, mostly sentence-constructions I considered questionable. ::)
And FWIW, thanks to everyone who clarified that 'kaKhan' thing. I
thought it sounded familiar, but I wasn't sure if it was canon.... :-\
