Fourth Printing Tactical Operations - Advanced Units and Equipment

Patchwork Armor page 189

Error: Unclear wording

Third paragraph:
Quote
Even under patchwork armor rules, a unit may not mount
multiple armor types in the same location (including locations
with a front and rear facing, such as ’Mech torsos). A unit may
also not mount armor types illegal for that unit type to mount.

Correction:
Quote
Even under patchwork armor rules, a unit may not mount
multiple armor types in the same location (including locations
with a front and rear facing, such as ’Mech torsos). These rules do not allow a unit to mount armor illegal to it nor do they change what armors are legal to mount on a unit.

Correction, Update table to reflect new changes (seem to be a flat 188 page discrepancy across the board.)

I believe those +1's should be changed to +0 for the sake of clarity.

Xotl: Much obliged, Alfaryn


Here are the page reference errors to TO: AR and TO: AUE I've found in the initial release of the TO: AUE pdf. Plus a few other problems I've found while looking for page reference errors.
Note that:
1. this is a product of just one afternoon and evening of my work, and it is entirely possible that I've missed penty of errors,
2. I have not checked page references to books other than TO: AR and TO: AUE,
3. I have not checked the table of contents and the index.

p. 25 First bullet point under Weapon Attacks
INCORRECT PAGE REFERENCE: Large Naval Vessel Template (see p. 213)
SHOULD BE: Large Naval Vessel Template (see p. 215)

p. 35 Third paragraph of the Ground Mobile Structures section

p. 39 In Attacks Against Mobile Structures section
INCORRECT PAGE REFERENCE: Aimed Shots, page 120
SHOULD BE: Aimed Shots, page 118, TO: AR

p. 88
Two kinds of errors:

INCORRECT PAGE REFERENCES 1.: All page references on the page are wrong.
CORRECTION: Subtract 188 from all page reference numbers.

PROBLEM 2.: One of the items depicted is incorrectly named "BattleMech".
CORRECTION: Rename it "Battletech Claws".

p. 89
INCORRECT PAGE REFERENCE: All page references on the page are wrong.
CORRECTION: Subtract 188 from all page reference numbers.

p. 105 The first paragraph of the Game Rules section in the BattleMech/ProtoMech Partial Wing box

INCORRECT PAGE REFERENCE 1.: Beast-Mounted Infantry Sample Types Table on page 294.
SHOULD BE: Beast-Mounted Infantry Sample Types Table on page 106.

INCORRECT PAGE REFERENCE 2.: continued on page 296
SHOULD BE: continued on page 108

p. 123 At the bottom of the Field Artillery box
INCORRECT PAGE REFERENCE: Field Artillery may be used against airborne aerospace targets using the flak rules for direct-fire artillery (see Flak, p. 97).
SHOULD BE: Field Artillery may be used against airborne aerospace targets using the flak rules for direct-fire artillery (see Flak, p. 153, TO: AR).

p. 140
INCORRECT PAGE REFERENCE: All page reference numbers on the page are incorrect.
SHOULD BE: Subtract 188 from all page reference numbers.

p. 141
INCORRECT PAGE REFERENCE: All page reference numbers on the page are incorrect.
SHOULD BE: Subtract 188 from all page reference numbers.

p. 158 In the Game Rules section of the BattleMech Taser box.
INCORRECT PAGE REFERENCE: general Taser rules described on page 345
SHOULD BE: general Taser rules described on page 157

p. 178 Last line in the Inferno Mines (Land/Sea) box
INCORRECT PAGE REFERENCE: As with Standard (Conventional) Mines, unless cleared (see p. 176, TO: AR),
SHOULD BE: As with Standard (Conventional) Mines, unless cleared (see p. 178, TO: AR),

p. 187 Fifth paragraph of the Game Rules section in the Remote Sensors box
INCORRECT PAGE REFERENCE:Visual Range Tables on page 221. Infrared remote sensors use the Support Vehicle Basic Fire Control IR row on the Sensor Range Tables on page 222. Radar remote sensors use the Support Vehicle Basic Fire Control row on the Sensor Range Tables on page 222.
SHOULD BE: Visual Range Tables on page 189, TO: AR. Infrared remote sensors use the Support Vehicle Basic Fire Control IR row on the Sensor Range Tables on page 190, TO: AR. Radar remote sensors use the Support Vehicle Basic Fire Control row on the Sensor Range Tables on page 190, TO: AR.

p. 211 Advanced Conventional Infantry Record Sheet
Three problems: 

INCORRECT PAGE REFERENCE 1.: In the footnotes of Morale Table - "See Infernos and Cruise Missile Attack (p. 211)."
SHOULD BE: See Infernos and Cruise Missile Attack (p. 179, TO: AR).

INCORRECT PAGE REFERENCE 2.: In the footnotes of Morale Table - "Conventional Infantry with Armor (see p. 317)"

INCORRECT PAGE REFERENCE 3.: Footnote of Recovering Nerve Table - "Only applies if Commanders (see p. 191) are in use."
SHOULD BE: Only applies if Commanders (see p. 159, TO: AR) are in use.

pp. 216-228
INCORRECT PAGE REFERENCE: As NeonKnight said above, all page referencess on these pages are wrong. Note that it applies not only to the "Ref" column, but also the "See rules for this equipment in the Advanced Weapons And Equipment section, starting on p. 274." footnotes at the bottom of the Construction Data tables.
CORRECTION: Change the footnotes to "See rules for this equipment in the Advanced Weapons And Equipment section, starting on p. 86." As for the numbers in the "Ref" columns, someone would hace to go through them one by one to make sure, but a quick look at just some of them suggests that you should subtract around 188 (plus or minus 1 in some cases) from every one of them.

Naval Comm-Scanner Suit (NCSS) (pp. 144-145) does not have a listed BV. Per p.192 any equipment not listed on the tables as having a BV is considered to have 0 BV. However, because the NCCS provides an initiative bonus even in standard game play it should have a BV.

Since NCSS in canon units is not particularly widespread this would only affect the BV calculations of the Drake (JHS:T), Naga (JHS:T), Aesir (TRO:3085), Vanir (TRO:3085), Vengeance-PWS Prototype (TRO: Prototypes), and Bug Eye (IP3:IE)

p. 157 Second bullet point under Supercharger

PROBLEMATIC SENTENCE: For ’Mechs, any such hits are applied to the upper-most undamaged critical slot(s) in the center torso.
PROBLEM: While official 'Mech record sheets are always printed with Engine in three first slots in the Center Torso section of their Critical Hit Tables, the rules as far as I'm aware don't require such placement. This may cause problems with player-designed 'Mechs.
SUGGESTION: Change the problematic sentence to something like: "For ’Mechs, any such hits are applied to the upper-most undamaged Engine critical slot(s) in the center torso."

Tactical Operations, AUE: 6th Edition


On page 157, under the rules for the Supercharger, there are two bullet points which are repeated.  The last two points talk about TSM interacting with a Supercharger:

• A ’Mech may combine a Supercharger with Triple-Strength Myomer. If both are used in the same round, the Triple Strength Myomer modifier is added to the Super-
charger-modified speed.

• A ’Mech may combine a Supercharger with Triple-Strength Myomer. If both are used in the same round, the Triple Strength Myomer modifier is added before applying
the Supercharger modifier.

Having both is confusing and redundant, so delete one of them to simplify the rules.  I like the wording on the last bullet point the best!

TO:AUE 4th Edition PDF. (2020)
Page 152 and 224 + 225

Page 152 There's a few issues with this paragraph. Problems
1) The statement for Combat Engineers and Marines makes it seem as if those weights are exclusive to those Infantry types. This is misleading as the base weight for Paramedics and TAG Infantry also vary depending on Motive Type.
2) The weights listed for Foot, Motorized, and Jump Infantry Platoons do not match those currently found in TechManual 6th Edition page 155 which are; Foot 0.085 ton, Motorized 0.195 ton, Jump 0.165 ton.
3) The listed weights of 1.5 for Microlite VTOL and 2 for Microcopter VTOL Infantry are either specifically for Combat Engineers and Marines or could be in conflict with the tables on page 225 where they're listed as +1.4 and +1.9.
4)  while other specializations presume a base weight of 0.1 ton per trooper. This includes other infantry types who's motive type varies. Also, presuming .1 is the old weight for Foot Infantry, the weight is no longer correct.
5) The example used, uses the old TM weights.

Correction 1) page 152
Rewrite the paragragh and page 152, with the updated weights, a set base weight for Microlight and Microcopter Infantry.

Example
The Added Tons value establishes additional weight over and above the base weight per trooper depending on Motive Type chosen (see p. 155, TM, and TO:AUE see p.255). They are reprinted here for your convienience (0.085 ton for Foot, 0.195 for Motorized, 0.165 for Jump, 1 for Hover/Tracked/Wheeled Mechanized, 1.5 for Microlite VTOL and 2 for Microcopter VTOL). If the Motive Type does not vary, use the base weight 0.085 of Foot Infantry. For example, a Motorized Marine Combat Engineer has a per-trooper weight of 0.185 (Motorized) + 0 (Marine) + 0.1 (Combat Engineer) tons, or 0.285 tons for each trooper.

Note:
This removes ambiguity as to which infantry use which weighs. Setting the base weight for VTOL infantry also makes them consistant with TM Infantry Types as Mechanized VTOL Infantry are a base Infantry type. It also eliminates confusion with the listed +1.4 and +1.9 weights on page 255. The base weight of 2/trooper for Microcopter would be consistant with the transport weight of 32 tons found for VTOL Infantry in TRO:3085.

Correction 2) page 255
Replace the weights for Microlite Infantry +1.4/trooper and Microcopter Infantry +1.9/trooper with the new weights Microlite 1.5/trooper and Microcoper 2/trooper.

Correction 3 and 4 ) page 224 and 225
Include a line for SCUBA (Mechanized) It isn't listed in mine and I don't see an errata for it.

The advanced support vehicle armor table on page 69 differs heavily from the support vehicle armor table on page 134 of the tech manual. As near as I can tell, it was never errata'ed when the table in Tech Manual was adjusted.

Solution, swap the values listed on page 69 for the corrected values found in Tech Manual on page 134.


Xotl: TM is correct here; TO will be updated if there is an 8th printing.  For now, use the values found in the most recent TM printing.

P. 171, Arrow IV Homing Missiles (Air-Launched Version)

Self-contradicting rule: The rules for Air-Launched AIV Homing missiles indicate that fighters can drop them as bombs, then go around and TAG targets for those same missiles. Bombs always land on the same turn that they are dropped, thus this point is unnecessary and this scenario is impossible.

Solution: Nix the final bullet point under Arrow IV Homing Missiles (Air-Launched Version).

p. 223 Supercharger line and footnotes

PROBLEM: Collision of symbols - § symbol is used in the tables on pp. 216-223 both in "Type" column header (with corresponding footnote on p.222) and in "Item / Ammo Cost (C-bills)" column of supercharger entry on p. 223, with corresponding footnote also on p. 223.
RECOMMENDATION: Change the symbol used for Supercharger entry and footnote on p. 223 to something else. Do not change the symbol used for "Type" column instead to avoid potential problems with Additional Alternate Era Weapons and Equipment table on pp. 208-218 IO:AE, where the same symbol is used in the same context.

Page 3 of the version 6.0 TO:AUE errata document lists an errata for Field Guns, page 123:

Under “Game Rules”, second paragraph, last sentence
Ultra and Rotary Autocannon Field Guns are immune to jamming or fire control failure effects, and Gauss-based Field Guns are
immune to weapon explosion effects.
Change to:
Field Guns are immune to jamming, fire control failure, and ammunition or weapon explosion effects. All autocannons may use
special ammunition using the appropriate rules, though the entire platoon must use the same ammo type.

Checking my 6th printing PDF, this errata does not appear to have been applied, and should be applied in the next printing.

As a secondary question, is the section stating "the entire platoon must use the same ammo type" intended to apply to a single turn of fire? It would otherwise contradict an earlier line indicating that individual tons of Field Gun ammo may be of various types. If so, the last sentence could be changed to something like "[...] though the entire platoon must use the same ammo type when declaring weapons fire for the turn." to make this clearer.

Top chart, headers, the weight of the BA equipment in the top chart is listed as "WT(Tons)".

Since BA can't mount a 400-ton BA LB-X AC, I suggest the WT be changed to "WT(kg)"

This way BA can mount a 400-kilogram BA LB-X AC


Xotl: This was thought to have been fixed in the previous printing, and so was missed for this one as well.  Noting it for a future printing correction.

No change needed. Per the fluff on page 127 handheld weapons have been used during the Star League Era. 3055 just saw the most recent use of them.

Issue: The rules for torso-mounted cockpits state that "If the ’Mech’s head is destroyed, excess damage does not transfer to other locations." However this creates room for abuse by putting all ammunition in the head and getting a location that is both difficult to hit and does not risk unit destruction in the event of ammunition explosion.
Suggestion: Add the following sentence: "The sole exception is ammunition stored in the head, which transfer remaining damage to the Center Torso."

Isn't that inconsistent with how damage transfers in Total Warfare? And why should ammo explosion damage transfer but not headcapping damage?

Transfer diagram doesn't send anything from the head (TW p. 123), as most Mechs are Destroyed with head destruction. Clearly the intent was to leave that intact by having head damage not transfer and rerolling subsequent head hits. But ammo explosions are such an extraordinarily violent and dangerous event that being able to hide several tons of ammunition in a location essentially risk free (looking at you LGN-2F and Ostean) is just cheesy and broken. This singular exception remedies this.

VERSION: TO:AU&E, pdf 4th Printing
LOCATION: p. 118, Energy Storage Batteries info box
THE ERROR: page error; the text points to the wrong page number in Strategic Operations
Quote from: TO:AU&E, p118
When an Energy Storage Battery’s power is delivered via the vessel’s solar sail, normal quick charging rules are followed (see pages 87-88 of Strategic
Operations
).
THE CORRECTION: "(see pages 75-76 of Strategic Operations)."

I'm fairly certain that this has not been fixed in later versions, as I have neither seen it reported here nor found it in the Errata V 7.0 pdf. If it has already been reported or fixed, please disregard.


Xotl: It has been fixed in later printings, but errata will often skip simple page number ref corrections, especially for a book which had hundreds of such, as otherwise the errata doc would be three times the size.  Thanks for the report.

LOCATION: p. 225
THE ERROR: Battle armor construction data and conventional infantry construction data have their WT units flipped - Battle Armor has its equipment listed in Tons while Conventional Infantry has its equipment listed in kg - this should be reversed so the Battle Armor equipment is listed in kg and conventional infantry should be listed in tons.
