P. 24 After the fighting in Tawas in 2829 the survivors of Belinda's Irregulars merged with Simpson's Samurai's to form the Bloody Suns. However per the House Liao SB p. 47: "Belinda's Irregulars was to be destroyed in House Davion's unsuccessful attempts to capture Tikonov later in the Succession Wars."
Possible correction: Have Simpson's Samurai's join the Irregulars after Tawas and retain the Irregulars name. Change all references to the Bloody Suns to Belinda's Irregulars.
P.27 With the Eighth on the run from two Davion divisions and the....
the 8th was on the run from the Chesterton CMM and the 3rd Deneb Light Cavalry. These should probably be referred to as Regiments since the AFFS does not have divisions.
Change Divisions to Regiments.
P.27 The presence of the Davion Assault Guards on Orbisonia.
Per HB:HL p. 29 and HLSB p. 47 the AFFS forces on Orbisonia were lighter then the Marauder/warhammer force deployed by the CCAF and managed to out maneuver the CC forces during the 4 day battle. The presence of the Assault Guards does not fit with that description (nor is their presence on the planet mention in the early SBs)
Correction: Remove all mention of the Davion Assault Guards and change the entry to indicate that the lighter AFFS unit managed to out maneuver the Capellans.
P.28 Sidebar
Error: That such honest brokers might not be trust- worthy is always at the back of the combatants’ minds
If they are not trustworthy you would not refer to them as honest brokers.
Correction remove the word honest from the sentence.
P. 36
3rd Paragraph: the Chesterton Reserves, on 19 October threatened the Davion position and place the Ceti Hussars between the hammer of the relief force
Wrong tense should be placed
P. 41
top paragraph, right side: The plan, Operation BLACKSMITH, called for two task forces, one striking the coreward from bases on Hamilton and Augustine (Task Force Hammer),
Correction: The should be removed.
P. 50
Error: Instead, he had been placed in command of the “safe” Sixth Lyran Regulars only to find himself in an untenable situation with the Marik offensive.
Per HSSB p. 56 Grimm commanded the 65th Lyran Regulars. HBHS p.41 claims he commanded the 54th Lyran Regulars. Periphery 1e. P. 148 says he coimmandd the 65th Lyran Regulars. The 6th Lyran Regulars were still in existance in 3025 (per HSSB).
Correction: Change 6th Lyran Regulars to the 65th. Errata HBHS to say he commanded the 65th. Also need to add the 65th Lyran Regulars to the LCAF unit listing on page 99.
P. 50 Sidebar 2nd Paragraph
Error - Initially the CCAF were too preoccupied with occupying worlds abandoned by the FWLM
were is plural, CCAF is singular.
Correction: Change were to was.
p. 51 sidebar 2nd full paragraph
The Sixth Battle of Andurien ran from March to October 2039 and saw the Liao troops reach the outskirts of
Correction - should be 2839
P. 51 Comstar War - Liao Attacks 2837 - Bernardo is misspelled as Bernado. (also on p.121 - Major Factory Worlds Table)
P. 56 Hinders's War
South of Redfev, First and Third Battalions of the Fourth Royal Guards faced off against Second Battalion of the recently arrived Seventh Rasalhague Regulars. Under the command of Major Michael Hinders, the colonel’s younger brother, the battalion served as a mobile harassing force out on the plains.
Error: There appears to be a sentence missing here. From later in the Sidebar it seems that Major Hinders commanded the 2nd Battalion. It's hard to provide a correction but it looks like there is should be a sentence something along the lines of " The Second Battalion was deployed at (Fill in location).
Alternatively the 2nd sentence could be changed to, The 2nd Battalion of the 4th Royal Guards, commanded by the Colonel's younger brother Michael, served as a mobile harassing force out on the plains.
p.55 and P.58 Not really an error per se but very confusing: The battle on Thorin in 2841 is described twice in 2 different paragraphs, once on page 55 and again on page 58. The descriptions are consistent but they should be combined into 1 entry- at first glance it looks like the DC invaded the world twice.
P. 68 A New Type of War Sidebar
Francesca Huq's name is spelled as both Huq and Hug. I am guessing that Huq is correct and Hug is a spell checking error. The names should made the same throughout the entry.
P.69 (may not be an error) The map shows Asuncion as a Capellan world in 2840. The world was only captured in August of 2840 so maybe it should be shaded the lightest gray- with out a date on the map other then 2840 it's not clear if the map is wrong.
P. 70 (may be an intentional in universe error)
The side bar Occupation of Circinus:
Error: (including other Periphery worlds, some of whom banded together as the Lothian League to resist the banditry)
The Lothian League goes back to the 2690s. Per 1st SW p. 104 the Lothian League traded with the FWL during the SL Era. So clearly the FWL knew of their existence and the Lothian League did not form to defend against the Black Warriors.
Correction. This statement should be removed (unless it is intended to show that the IS knows little to nothing about the periphery states.)
P. 70-71 main text (last sentence)
Although never quite grinding to a halt as the Lyran front had, the fight against the Capellan Confederation reinvigorated when Gerald visited troops on their staging worlds and participating in numerous assaults.
grammer errors
Correction:
Although never quite grinding to a halt as the Lyran front had, the fight against the Capellan Confederation was reinvigorated when Gerald visited troops on their staging worlds and participated in numerous assaults.
P. 75 Sidebar
and leaking news of House Kurita’s internal troubles with the Combine’s enemies.
the info was leaked to the FS and LC- replace with with to.
P. 75 4th Paragraph
However, the steady succession of assaults did prevent the AFFS from bring force to bear against the Robinson Thumb.
grammar- replace bring with Bringing.
p. 81
Entry for 2836: Third Battle of Hesperus II. DCMS overconfidence leads to an easy LCAF victory.
Should be Fourth Battle of Hesperus II.
P. 81 entry for 2840 indicated Hendrik Grimm commanded the 6th Lyran Regulars- it should be the 65th as stated in a previous correction.
P. 90
Michael Davion's bio
A military cabal planning a coup d’état against Michael’s policies in the 2880s was dissuaded by his uncle, Peter Davion.
Michael Davion died in 2873. This should be 2840's, per page 63.
P. 95
CCAF unit listing
Blandford's Grenadiers, Chesterton Guardians, Gryff's Hussars, Marshals of Tikonov, Prefectorate Guard and Red Lancers are shown as part of the Chesterton Reserves. The are actually the Capellan Hussars (FR CCAF 2765). The listing should changed so they are shown as part of the Capellan Hussars, the Chesterton Reserves should begin with Justine's Grenadiers.
P. 95 CCAF Unit Listing.
Missing Unit- per TR3025 (original edition) p.52 the 23rd Chesterton Reserves were formed circa 2830. They should be added to the unit listing.
P. 96 DCMS Unit Listing.
Per FMDC p. 103 the 6th Arkab Legion formed during the 2nd SW from survivors of the 5th Arkab Legion. It's possible there was a 6th Legion that was destroyed and then reformed but if so this should be indicated somehow on the table. Depending on how this is handled there would be an errata to the 1st SW SB.
Per FMDC P. 65 the 19th Galedon Regulars was formed during the 2nd SW. As with the 6th Arkab Legion this should be addressed in some manner.
P. 98 FWL Unit listing
Per FM:FWL p. 65 the 8th Marik Militia was destroyed during the Comstar War in 2838 and the survivors absorbed by the 23rd Marik Militia. The unit listing should show destroyed for 2864.
4th Orloff Grenadiers - per FM:FWL p. 103 they were destroyed on Suzarno in 2838. The survivors and new troops formed the 6th Orloff Grenadiers in 2840. The 4th's entry should show them as destroyed in 2864 and the 6th should show them as not formed in 2830.
P. 99 LCAF Unit Listing
the 2nd Lyran Guards are missing from the unit listing. Per p. 60 of 2nd SW and P. 42 of HBHS the 2nd was in service during the 2nd SW under the command of Claudius Steiner. The unit should be added back to the LCAF unit listing.
P. 116
Capabilities section:
These complaints which were echoed by MechWarriors in the latter half of the thirtieth century, when advanced lasers and Streak missiles disappeared from the Inner Sphere, and the -5LS joined the -5L on the scrapheap of history.
The 5LS did not have Streak Missiles- it had a standard SRM2. This sentence should be corrected by removing the reference to the Streak Missiles.
