Correct PV - MUL or Force Pack Alpha Strike Cards
« on: 20 January 2024, 18:14:36 »
I'm noticing a number of Alpha Strike cards from the Force Packs have a different PV than what is listed in the MUL. For example:

Griffin C (Kell Hounds) PV = 37;                (MUL) PV = 45
Timber Wolf T (AS Box) PV = 63;               (MUL) PV = 62
Cougar A (Fire Star) PV = 41;                    (MUL) PV = 40
Hellbringer Prime (Heavy Striker) PV = 44; (MUL) PV = 45
Hellbringer A (Heavy Striker) PV = 42;       (MUL) PV = 43

I've noticed 17 of these discrepancies so far.

Which is considered correct when there are discrepancies?

The MUL is the higher source, as it gets updated with changes to the formula that might affect the PV calculations that don't make it to the print run for the cards in time or after they are printed.

MUL.

Though we are far from perfect so you if you ever feel a value on the MUL is incorrect, you can inquire (along with calculations showing the descrepency) over in the Errata sub forum.

Errata is posted for the Force Packs at https://bg.battletech.com/forums/index.php/topic,75914.0.html as I come across them.

Or for the AS box set: https://bg.battletech.com/forums/index.php/topic,79738.0.html

If you unsure of one not listed, and want to question a mismatch, the MUL thread is the best place.
