Notes (2019)[edit]

Looking for some thoughts. I have laid out this page, along with the others I am doing in a fairly normal bullet style list. I was thinking of maybe putting it into a Table, which could look as follows :

Page Heading Type Description
For mercenary characters, the articles Mercenary Character Generation Procedure Outline (JTAS #3) and Military Academy: An Option for Mercenary (JTAS #10) are very useful.
Page 3 Acquiring Skills and Expertise, Choice of Arm Clarification For Marines, the statement on page 5 is much clearer: “the only combat arm that a marine may initially enter is infantry”.
Page 4 Acquiring Skills and Expertise, Assignments, General Assignment Correction The paragraph indicates that “If Int 8+, DM +1 allowed”. This should be a DM for Education, as shown on page 6.
Page 4 Acquiring Skills and Expertise, Survival Clarification None of the three combat action assignments are indicated with an asterisk.
Page 5 Commando School Correction There is no “Wilderness Survival” skill; this should be “Survival”, as detailed on page 15.
Page 39 Support Weapons, Slug Throwers, Very Rapid Fire (VRF) Gauss Gun Clarification The VRF Gauss Gun has an extreme range of 3000 meters and is available at tech level 10.
Page 43 Notes on Prices and Tech Levels Clarification The corrections noted on page 43 apply as written to the 1977 edition books. These corrections are noted in the entries above. Note that the TL changes to Mesh and Cloth armor were handled differently in the 1981 edition and later rules sets.
Thoughts?

Looks great.

  • Being that you are the guy on the ground doing the work, run free.
  • Do as you see fit. Really appreciate you adding errata.
