Page 8, MechWarrior George McPhearson:
"Attached to House Davion’s Capellan March Militia, ... McPhearson is respected and well-known throughout the Free Worlds League for his fighting skill in the small ‘Mech."
Need to assign him to one House or the other.

Page 60, Icarus II
Page header is missing.
Fix: Add Page Header.
Page 20, Second paragraph of the Overview Section
The following passage references a section that does not exist in this TRO:
[EDITOR’S NOTE: though this design technically belongs in the Star League section of this briefing, its modern association with the Dragoons warrants its inclusion here.]
Fix: Remove the entire editor's note.

P. 146: Awesome, third column under heading "Lieutenant Giles “The Bangers” Barners:"
Issue: The following two sentences are contradictory at least at face value:
"Barners is considered the ace Awesome MechWarrior of House Kurita with seventy-one confirmed ’Mech kills. Barners’ lance of black-painted Awesomes formed the backbone and fist of Brion’s Legion’s Wernke Battalion."
The rest of the graf treats Barners as a member of Brion's Legion, which is assumedly his unit. But that sentence could be confusing, unless the reader knows that Brion's Legion was employed by the Combine during the last years of the Third Succession War.
Suggested Fix: Either:
1. Remove the reference to House Kurita
2. Amend the paragraph to make Barners' relationship with House Kurita clearer.

Banshee pg. 177
PPC listed in right arms, art and record sheet show RT. torso.

Page 110, 2nd column, paragraph under the "Deployment" header"
Issue: Paragraph begins with the following sentence: "On Al Na’ir, a level II consisting of a trio of Lancelots was credited with disposing of a lance of Atlases that had so far successfully defended the system’s major production facility."
"Consisting" implies that the Level II is exclusively composed of the three Lancelots. Later sentences in the paragraph reveal that the Level II is close to or at the full strength of six 'mechs.
Fix: Change "consisting of" to "including"
-
Pg 2.
Issue: The Icarus II is missing from the Table of Contents
Solution: This is a bit tricky as there isn't technically space to add it (shrink the font?). I'll leave that up to the person making the big bucks in layout.

Page 60, Icarus II
Page header is missing.
Fix: Add Page Header.
Page 2: The TOC also does not include the Icarus II (I assume it's a result of the missing header)
Fix: Add "Icarus II ...... 60" to TOC
-
LOCATION: p.6, Overview section
THE ERROR: "Numerous variants followed, including the short-lived, extremely-fast 15-ton FLE-14, relegated it to the scrapheap of history due to its paper thin armor."
THE CORRECTION: "Numerous variants followed, including the short-lived, extremely fast 15-ton FLE-14, relegated to the scrapheap of history due to its paper thin armor."
-
Page 53:
Assassin has 80 pts of armor (5 tons standard plate) assigned, but is only supposed to have 72 pts (4.5 tons standard plate).
Correction: Change leg armor from 10 pts each to 6 pts each to match original TRO 3025.

First PDF release, page 10
Several references to "Battle-Mech". Replace with "BattleMech".
Notable Pilot Precentor Terrence Harris: One of the few Manei Domini that House intelligence agents have been able to put a name too
This is the wrong "too". It should be

Page 116, Bombardier, Capabilities section, second sentence
It’s large power-plant allows the ’Mech to advanced more quickly than most fire-support ’Mechs, allowing field commanders the luxury of quickly re-positing...
Wrong "Its", wrong tense on advanced, re-positing is wrong. Suggested fix:

Page 116, Bombardier, Variants section, last paragraph, first sentence
Curiously, the Draconis Combine has also begun fielding new Bombardier variants.
Bombardier needs to be italicized.
page 120, Exterminator, Overview section, second sentence
...did not have an impressive weapon’s load-out,...
"Weapons" doesn't need an apostrophe. Suggested fix:
...did not have an impressive weapons load-out,...
Page 128, Cataphract: Two instances of 'Mech name not italicized when it should be.
Capabilities section, second paragraph, first sentence
Unkindly given the nickname “FrankenMech,” on paper the Cataphract certainly...
Deployment section, first paragraph, first sentence
The Cataphract was intended...
Page 174, Ymir, Capabilities section, first paragraph, last sentence:
...enhance the ’Mech’s defensive potential at a significant weight saving.
Should be "a significant weight savings." Suggested fix:
...enhance the ’Mech’s defensive potential at a significant weight savings.

First PDF release, page 6
Notable MechWarriors
First line reads: "Sergeant Ulzanna Whitehead: Ulzanna Whitehand of"
Second mention of her name should read "Whitehead", not "Whitehand".

Corrected 2nd Printing
Pg 24, under Variants, 3rd paragraph
“Bonn Mekarmorwerks produced the 600-D variant sporting C3i technology and an ER PPC”
The C3i/ER PPC version is the 500-D according to previous sources. (Record Sheets 3050 Upgrade (Clans/Star League) pg 73)

Issue: The Falcon Incursion did not begin until 20 May 3064 (FedCom Civil War pp. 112&114, Deployment Table pp. 185-186)
Correction: Change "late April" to "Late May"
