I didn’t incorporated this in my list.<br /><br />Nemera, page 21<br /> AMS and CASE are each listed as 5 tons<br /><br />Sentinel, p. 33<br /> 10 free heatsinks are listed as 1 ton<br /><br />Trebuchet, p. 35<br /> LRM-15 w/ Artemis is listed as 3 crits and 7 tons (instead 4 and 8)<br /><br />Daimyo, p. 37<br /> In the weapon list a double heat sink is listed as 1 ton (additionally to the 14 double heat sinks with 4 tons in the upper section)<br /><br />Privateer, p. 43<br /> Jumpjets are allocated asymmetrically (1 RT, 2 CT)<br /><br />White Knight, p. 45<br /> The heat sink tonnage has jumped into the next row<br /><br />Ural, p. 49<br /> The shielding and transmission tonnage has jumped into the next row<br /><br />Isometrus, p. 67<br /> 10 free heatsinks are listed as 3 tons<br /><br />Fafnir, p. 79<br /> The stats list the ER mediums in the arms but picture shows them in the torso<br /><br />Hammerhead II, p. 95<br /> 8 tons of FF armor would result in 143 armor points instead of 142<br /><br />Vulcan VL-7M, p. 105<br /> 7.5 tons of FF armor would result in 134 armor points instead of 133 <br /><br />Blackknight, p. 113<br /> Armor stats mixed up: 2311 points 3 tons instead of 231 points and 13 tons<br />Picture doesn’t seem to match the distribution of the medium lasers as listed in the stats<br /><br />CM-33, p. 123<br /> Text calls for FF armor wich would result in 89 points (85 if light FF) and not 82<br /><br />Griffin, p. 143<br /> Jumpjets are allocated asymmetrically (3 RT, 2 LT)<br /><br />Battleax, p. 145<br /> Armor factor is missing (200)<br /><br />Cataphract III, p. 147<br /> Stats list ERPPC in RT but picture shows LT<br /><br />Culverin, p. 149<br /> PRIME is short of 1 ton, BRAVO is short of 3 tons<br /><br />Roland, p. 165<br /> Turret is fixed at 2.5 tons but no version needs more than 2 tons (Purpose?)<br /> ALPHA CASE listed as 5 tons, Streak-4 listed as 4 tons<br /> BRAVO rows mixed up<br /><br />Werefox Martel, p. 173<br /> Engine mass dislocated<br /><br />Blackjack, p. 185<br /> Fixed heat sinks mass is listed twice (upper part and middle part of the stats)<br /><br />Bandersnatch, p. 189<br /> Armorpoints in CT listed as 1 instead of 31<br /><br />Oculus, p. 195<br /> Cockpit tonnage dislocated, 0.5 ton cockpit would negate need for fractional accounting<br /><br />Flagstaff III, p. 197<br /> Mass of MG’s and MG ammo swapped<br /><br />Auroch, p. 215<br /> 6 tons of armor would result in 96 armor points instead of 95<br /> MG ammo (100) listed as 1 ton istead of 0.5<br /><br />Catapult, p. 219<br /> 11.5 tons of armor result in 184 armor points instead of 200<br /><br />Champion, p. 231<br /> 11.5 tons of armor result in 184 armor points instead of 183<br /><br />Claymore, p. 237<br /> Mass of the 4 light gauss have to be split between weapon mass (48 tons) and ammo (3 tons)<br /><br />Harbinger, p. 241<br /> Mass of the 3 MG have to be split between weapon mass (1.5 tons) and ammo (0.5 tons)<br /> Mass of the 3 SRM have to be split between weapon mass (9 tons) and ammo (1 tons)<br /><br />Hessian, p. 243<br /> Mass of the 5 SRM have to be split between weapon mass (5 tons) and ammo (1 tons)<br /><br />Jenner, p. 245<br /> 6.5 tons of armor result in 116 armor points instead of 115<br /><br />Nimravus, p. 247<br /> Maximum armor can be reached with allocating a 185 th point to the CT<br /><br />Battlemaster, p. 251<br /> Gyro tonnage dislocatedRudel Gurkennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23852428.post-61910447721388236332011-11-03T19:30:52.093-07:002011-11-03T19:30:52.093-07:00@anonymous: Thank you!

Suggest moving the DHS there to the Right Arm, which will keep the crit-space allocations legal. <br /><br />Alpha Config, similar problem with an extra DHS in the left torso (15 crits from XL (3), Ammo (3), 2x DHS (6), CASE (1) and Stealth Armor (2)). Suggest moving a DHS to the Left arm to make the crit-space allocations legal. <br /><br />Otherwise everything on it seems fine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23852428.post-10958786074475777372011-10-31T23:18:00.211-07:002011-10-31T23:18:00.211-07:00@Schottenjaeger: Please contact me at ssatak AT ya...@Schottenjaeger: Please contact me at ssatak AT yahoo.com.Steven Satakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03621308678106707775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23852428.post-39511696284460589942011-10-31T19:40:08.255-07:002011-10-31T19:40:08.255-07:00@ Schottenjaeger: thank you for the extensive revi...@ Schottenjaeger: thank you for the extensive review and suggested fixes.

It's a tribute to your vigilance and care that I found so few new issues here, considering how fine the teeth are on my comb :P I'm hunting mostly stylistic issues, but I found a few misspellings as well.<br /><br />Pg.7: "Chasses" used in the vehicles heading, line 5: on the same page "chassis" is used in the Mechs heading, line 3-4<br /><br />Pg.9 pluralization is inconsistent on line 1 of paragraph 2 (..he chose to focus on inexpensive.. machines, rather than the costly BattleMech.) <br />Would do better as "rather than costly BattleMechs"<br />Weak ending to paragraph 4, same page; consider "..was that the ability to bluff can be a critical asset on a battlefield."<br /><br />Pg. 20 (Nemera tank): <i>Capabilities</i>, Par 1, Line 7: "..our analysts think.." is weak - consider "project".<br /><i>Deployment</i>, Par. 3, line 1 "Blue Team's BattleMech's", should be "BattleMechs"<br /><br />Pg. 22, <i>Deployment</i>, lines 10-11; "..Clan units rarely make large use of conventional forces.." is stilted. Consider something along the lines of "rarely use the conventional forces the Sher Khan is built to hunt.."<br /><i> Variants </i>, lines 3&4: "considered by some to be overly complex" - passive, run-on sentence. Consider "Some experts/analysts consider the.. feeds to be overly complex."<br /><br />Pg. 26, <i>Capabilities</i>, Par. 1, Line 9; "surprising reliable" should be "surprisingly".<br /><br />Pg. 28, <i>Capabilities</i>, Par.4, Line 2: "..provide Ammunition transport.." (unnecessary capitalization)<br /><br />Pg. 29, <i>Weapons & Ammo</i> "Artillerys" is clumsy. Consider "Artillery" or "Artilleries"<br /><br />Pg. 32, <i>Deployment</i>, Par. 1, Line 5. "Jaegers" misspelled as "Jaegars"<br /><br />Pg. 40, <i>Overview</i>, Par. 1, line 2: "..a principle customer.." should be "principal".<br /><br />Pg 48, <i>Capabilities</i>, Par 1, line 5. "..operate, and frequently lead to.." should be "..led to.."<br /><br />Pg.49 <i>Equipment</i>, Shielding and Transmission; tonnage incorrectly displayed (dropped down a line)<br /><br />Pg. 50, <i>Overview</i>, Par. 1, Line 1; "..has recently experienced resurgence..", should be "..a resurgence.."<br /><i>Capabilities</i>, Par.5, Line 1; "Finally the..", should be "Finally, the.."<br /><i>Deployment</i>, Par. 1, Line 3; "Having proved.." should be "Having proven.." or "With their mettle proven"<br /><br />Pg. 52 <i>Capabilities</i>, Par. 5 Line 1; "..the profile is" should be "the [noun's] profile is.."<br />Par.5, line 3 "..defensive ambush" should be "..defensive ambushes"<br /><br />Pg. 56 <i>Notable Crew</i>, Par. 1 Line 8; Sentence is unfinished. "..the roar of the big cat's"<br /><br />Pg. 92<i>Overview</i>, Par. 1, Line 4; "..shared Information..", should be "information"<br /><br />Got to pg 110 and had to call it a night; got work tomorrow. Skipped several double-spaces and odd paragraph indents. <br />I wish I could contribute more to the project, but money's been tight: I'll see if I can't find some way to help out more.Schottenjaegerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13171270090207201326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23852428.post-20150383443192843842011-10-30T13:49:01.156-07:002011-10-30T13:49:01.156-07:00Thanks for the answer.

I did not change it because it did not seem to need changing, and because at that time we did not have access to that type of artist.<br /><br />Looking at my budget, we still don''t, so replacing it will be a matter of money. Since I haven't got any, it stays. Unless you can donate $100. At which point, I will contact Alex Iglesias and see what we can whip up.Steven Satakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03621308678106707775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23852428.post-79511981331358458822011-10-30T11:13:27.344-07:002011-10-30T11:13:27.344-07:00And the vehicle on the front cover... what is it?And the vehicle on the front cover... what is it?wolftechnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23852428.post-6906248869935894212011-10-30T09:54:39.796-07:002011-10-30T09:54:39.796-07:00And thank you for spotting those errors!
