Download link. Toggle navigation. Battletech Battlemech Manual Download. Problem: On p. Solution: Either add the date after which Bad Reputation quirk no longer applies to Battle Hawk, or change the example 'Mech on p.

Problem 2: Bad Reputation quirk rules mention, that the clan MechWarriors piloting 'Mechs with bad reputation begin battle fought under Clan Honor rules with one dezgra point. Solution 2: Add an appropriate page reference to the Clan Honor rules the rules begin on p.

Problem 3: On p. Solution 3: Add an expiration date to Blackjack's Bad Reputation quirk probably at some point between and early s judging from Blackjack's descriptions on p. Alternatively you change the example 'Mech on p. Problem: I think it is clear that the intent of those rules is, that you are supposed to roll to determine ammunition consumption weather you hit or not, but according to the rules you use up "the number of rounds equal to damage it [the MG] inflicted x 3", so read literally they say, that if you miss your attack with an MG in Rapid-Fire Mode you consume no ammo.

Solution: The rules should be reworded to match their apparent intent. Change or add a clarification to the second bullet point to indicate that it is possible to redirect indirect fire even to a unit the attacker has no LOS to using the rules for indirect LRM fire against Narc-ed targets with no spotter found on p.

Problem: The rules on coolant pods fail to mention, that the pods are one-shot systems. This is likely because the rules in BMM are based on the rules section on p. Solution: Add a note, that each coolant pod may be used only once per game.

Version 1. Just a single page of fixes, being released not so much because they're essential as because I was putting out a TW release and I wanted the two books to line up. Now the Manual with this errata , the upcoming fifth printing of TW, and the upcoming box sets should all be in line, ruleswise. A few problems with recently published errata: Light p. Suggestion: Change "[ Suggestion: In Failed Landings p. It will be obviously later randomised by the Facing After Fall Table p.

Alternatively you can resolve it a little differently from standard falls - for example first randomly determine FINAL facing, and then roll in the Facing After Fall Table just to determine the hit location column. This way you avoid having to determine 'Mech's facing twice once before, and once after the fall , and make it so that hit location column you use in this case is independent from final facing which may be realistic if you assume, that a failed landing involves a random, uncontrolled spin around 'Mechs vertical axis.

Solution: add the entry to the New Additions section. Problem: Note - the nature of the problem changed a bit with the recent errata to the BattleMech Quirk Table, which removed this quirk from Battle Hawk, hence my corrections in the report. Add Rugged 1 to the Shadow Hawk. Also, need clarifier that C3 and firing TAG at someone are perfectly compatible that is, firing the TAG laser at someone, not any of the indirect stuff that would typically follow the laser hit.

It can't be correct for streak missile launchers, which fire only in case of a successful attack roll made some time after the attack declaration is made. In case of a failed roll no ammunition is fired, so at the moment of the attack declaration players don't know if the ammunition needs to be marked off. Solution: Add a sentence to the Ammunition Use Timing paragraph explaining when expenditure of streak ammo should be marked on 'Mech Record Sheet.

My guess is that it should be done as soon as a successful attack roll for a streak luncher is made. Edit 2: Looks like there is not much for me to do regarding the update promised in the previous edit.
