pg. 224 of TacOps says the following under the ECM heading:
"To be affected, the spotting unit must be in the normal operating
radius of the ECM/stealth system (note that stealth systems
only affect the target unit and do not have a radius of effect, and
so are only taken into consideration for the unit mounting that
equipment). LOS does not affect this radius. If a spotting unit is
within the range of multiple ECM systems, combine the effects of
all the ECM systems."
This is not consistent with the example that is then provided. In that example, the mech in Hex A is beyond the six-hex radius of the VTOL in hex I but the VTOL's ECM bonus of +4 is applied to the roll. If it is supposed to be that the LoS between A and I hits an ECM bubble (which would make more sense) then the example is still not consistent, because the LoS line from A to all of the other units would hit the ECM bubble of the VTOL in hex I.
EDIT: As a correction, I would just say to apply the highest mod for any ECM bubble that the LoS is traced through, since that is the way ECM bubbles work for everything else. That would mean that the ECM mod for the VTOL would apply to all checks in the given example.

pg. 317, the example given in the game rules for infantry armor says that an infantry platoon with a damage divisor of 2 would suffer an 11-point hit normally from an LBX-20 ((20+1)/2=11). That is incorrect, the normal damage for an LBX-20 (cluster ballistic) to an infantry platoon would be 20/10+1=3, so the damage to an infantry platoon with a damage divisor of 2 would be 3/2=1.5 rounds up to 2.

The example about scaling damage for buildings on pg. 127 of TacOps has an error in it. On the first full paragraph of the second column, it states that the building would suffer the full damage divided by 2 for each weapon attack, but this inconsistent with the rule on pg. 171 of Total Warfare and the example given on that page which clearly states that the building only suffers damage equal to the amount of damage it absorbed. In this case, the numbers should be
HPPC = 4/2 = 2
ERML = 4/2 = 2
MML = 4/2 = 2
SRM = 2/2 = 1
For a total of 2 (HPPC) + 4*2 (ERML) + 2*2 (MML) + 6*1 (SSRM6) = 20 points of damage
Leaving the building with 38-20 = 18 CF.

null-signature system (p. 336)
"...heat-seeking weapons (such as Heat-Seekng Missiles) calculate their to-hit modifiers against the unit as though it is 8 points cooler than it actually is." (emphasis mine) "While active, the system generates 10 points of heat."
---This is the opposite of masking the unit's heat. (Null-sig + chameleon system = 16 heat.)
---Replace the bolded text with "as though it is 18 points cooler."

I think what they're saying is that depending on the heat scale at the end of the turn, heat seeking missiles are at a disadvantage when firing at Null-Signature due to the heat baffles. Example: 'Mech "A" had an active NSS during Turn 1. It ran, fired and had its system active for a total of +5 on the Heat Scale. The heat seeking missiles would normally play off of this number to calculate their To-Hit bonus/penalty, but due to the heat baffles in the Null-Signature System, the missiles will proceed as if the Heat were 8 points lower--In this case, at 0. (5 - 8 = -3, or 0) |

Yes. The system generates 10 heat and negates only 8.

Per the ruling, this text should be changed to say that this explosion is treated as an ammo explosion. Suggested text.

Remember the format! Tac Ops (PDF edition) Advanced Support Vehicle Construction/Mobile Structure Construction/Step 4 "Heat Sinks" paragraph (p. 267) Heat Sinks: Regardless of the power system chosen, Mobile
Structures receive no free heat sinks. Mobile Structures without
a Fission or Fusion power system must incorporate enough
heat sinks to cover the heat generated by all energy weapons
fired together. These heat sinks may be distributed as desired
to the weight capacity of any hex or hexes on the unit—be it in
one big lump, or in portions spread across the entire structure. What if a mobile structure *is* Fission- or Fusion-powered? May it have less heat sinks than the total heat generated by all weapons? Or energy weapons only? (And then... does the reactor shut down at 30+ heat?) |

It already says "regardless of the power system chosen." That seems to cover Fusion and Fission engines.

TacOps (hardcopy)
Expanded Movement Cost etc Table (p. 32 & 34)
- "Rail" is listed twice; the Rail Base Terrain costs +0 MP per hex, while the Rail Modification costs +1 MP per hex.
- Remove the Rail entry from p. 32 (terrain cost on p. 34 is correct as per p. 96 of Combat Equipment)
TacOps (hardcopy)
Expanded Movement Cost etc Table (p. 32 & 34)
- "Rapids" MP cost directs you to footnote #24 (bog down)
- Should be footnote #23 (cost does not apply to hover/vtol/etc), as per equivalent table in Maximum Tech.
TacOps (hardcopy)
Terrain Factor and Conversion Table (p. 64)
- Gravel Road, Paved Road, and Clear/Rough all list Infantry in both the "Prohibited Units Movement Damage" and the "Careful Movement" columns- which is to say, Infantry cannot inflict movement damage on the terrain, yet they have the option of spending extra MP to avoid inflicting movement damage.
- This is the least-damaging unit in the most durable terrain - "Prohibited Units" column is probably accurate. Delete "Infantry" from the Careful Movement column of the Gravel Road, Paved Road, and Clear/Rough rows.
TacOps (hardcopy)
Terrain and Placement Diagram (p. 67)
- The displacement example (bottom of p. 67 through 68) never mentions specific elevations, but does note that hex B is 2 levels higher than hex A, which is 1 level higher than hex E, which is 1 level higher than hex I, which is 1 level higher than hex F. However, the diagram shows hexes A, E, I all equal at elevation zero.
- Change the diagram. Raise hexes B and 1106 to Level 4, raise hex A and 1105 to Level 2, and raise hex E to Level 1.
TacOps (hardcopy)
Terrain Displacement example (p. 68)
- The second sentence of the third paragraph on p. 68 reads "Hex F is adjacent to Hex E," but displacement is occurring between hexes F and I.
- Change to "Hex F is adjacent to Hex I"

TacOps PDF, page 385, Clan Weapons and Equipment BV Table
The VTOL Mast Mount lists "M" for the BV, and the explanation below has "M" as "Weapon Array: BV is the BV of all the weapons on the array (but not the ammunition) x 0.1", and "N" as "Weapon Array; Add 10 to the BV of the mast mounted weapons and equipment"
Suggested change: replace the text for the "M" explanation with the one form the "N" explanation, as the "M" designation is only used for the mast mount, and N is not used at all.
