Rules errata
Global: Capitalized first letter are not consistently used in the manual. For example you can find some reference to "Shock Roll", "Shock roll" and "shock roll" throughout the book.
page 7: Hound Dog rules are page 33 not 32. Sten Mark II, Eye of Horus, Iikaah and Wolftrap Bonus Tokens are page 84 not 83. NOS Bonus Token is on page 70 not 83.
page 19: In the first paragraph it should be read "the character may drop..." not "thee character may drop...".
page 21: In "Attack Overview" the "attack" action reference is actually on page 18, page 21 being the detailed rules for Combat.
page 24: In "Shock Rolls Outside Combat", it refers to '"Automatic Wounds", below' when actually it's just the previous section.
page 27: In the 5th paragraph, it should be "once the overwatch attack has been resolved" rather than "once the overwatch attack has been revolved".
page 28: "Capture the Flag Mode". "Unused flag tokens are returned to the box without looking at their faces". All flags have the same front and back.The text is a copy-paste leftover reference to Crate Tokens.
page 61: "Smiljan Module". The page reference is noted as @@ instead of 57.
page 74: In the "Setup" it's "Tesla Priory", not "Tesla Priority".
page 87: "Shock Roll". It is labeled as duel, which is not consistent with introduction of combat p.21 where it is refered as a test.
Non-rules errata
page 1: In the copyright information box at the bottom of the page, it is "Tannhäuser" not "Tannhäsuer".
page 15: Flavor text. The Reichdoktor name is spelled as Hoss Harbinger. In earlier material it was spelled Hass Horbinger.
page 33: Flavor text. There is a reference to "BG-2 armor vests" when it should be "BG-42 armor vests".
page 42: Flavor text. Depending on the source the Shocktruppen Officer name is spelled "Van Der Ageer" or "Van Der Hageer". The former is used in the Manual, while the latter is used in later sources including the Chronology and fiction works.
page 53: Flavor text. There is a <DATE> field instead of a normal date.
page 56: Flavor text. It is implied that the Prime Magistrate and Nikolas Tesla are two distinct persons when in fact they are the same.The phrase should thus read "the Prime Magistrate of the Sciences Council, the venerable Nikola Tesla himself".
page 60: Flavor text. "Telluric" is misspelled as "Tellruci".
page 65: "Luck". The Countess name is misspelled as "Proucevert" instead of "Pouceverts".
page 68: Flavor text. "Hierarch" is misspelled as "Heirarch".
page 71: The "Corporal 5th grade token" image used is missing the T under the chevrons. The image is in fact the one from Tala Aponi Pack.
page 80: The Objectives descriptions are not right. They are the same as those of the Catacombs map.
Questions
page 26: When "Shaking Off a Wound" can a character cancel a wound that would kill him ? The current text does not require him to survive the attack like in the case of a counterattack.
page 26: In "Introducing a Reinforcement character" the method of reinforcement ("before activating any characters") contradicts the text explaining how to introduce reinforcements in a 2 Command Points game on the same page. Please explain exactly when a Troop can be sent in as a reinforcement and the consequence on a 2 CP game.
page 33: "When he takes any action other than attacking, Hound DOG’s controller may also direct Hound DOG to attack." Does this mean that Hound DOG’s controller may throw a grenade (which is not an attack) and attack with the Hound Dog in the same activation ?
page 43: "Keep Firing". Since each movement/action trigger one overwatch attack, does this mean that the Shocktruppen can make multiple attacks against the active character ?
page 51: Does the "Morphine Shot" effect last even after the end of the Turn ?
page 59: "Holy Commissar". When does the introduction of the reinforcement happen ? answering the question about "Introducing a Reinforcement character" may also answer this question.
page 59: Do the Characters need to be on the same Path as Irina to benefit from a Liturgy effect ?
page 61: "Kaali". Does its effect replace the regular attack (no attack roll, just place a meteop token) or is it in addition (resolve a regular attack, then place a meteop token) ?
page 71: "Bouncing Betty". In the text effetct the damage value is refered as "as above" but there is no such value.
page 73: When the Infiltration phase ends, do the current turn immediatly end too ?
page 83: "Boxing". Do the spent movement points come from John Mac Neal pool or from the target's pool ?
Looks like you covered pretty much everything I saw. Also, some of the flavor text is lifted, word for word, from the bible but not sourced.
When a character spends 1 CP to counterattack a HtH attack does he need to also counterattack with a HtH Weapon or Barefist?
When Barry uses the Flash Machine Gun A6A to counterattack does he hit himself too as he is adjacent? (Same question arises for Rodriguez Mark 19 Mod A1)
Objective Mode:
During Step d. of Game Specific Setup it reads: "Players take turns placing objective tokens untill all objective circles on the game board have objective tokens on them. " -> Does this mean that one side may also place more major objective tokens? e.g. Tesla Map has 2 Major and 4 Minor Objective circles. Player A places a Major objective token from his side, Player B places a Minor objective circle, Player A places another Major objective circle and thus denying Player B the possibility to place a Major objective token as all corresponding circles are occupied.
for example ramirez "bronze star": "discard this token to recieve 1 command point... " does this mean, you can use this token only while ramirez activation phase or also while another activation phase of one of your characters/troopers?
the same for , for example, the "purple heart" of ramirez...
the "presence" of zor'ka says: treat your mental stat as if it were a "-". does this mean, you cannot use the "awakening"?
"helm of diomedes": does this mean, that each figure (for examples voivodes) which no mental stat cannot attack you? or is there no need for a test for such figures and they can attack normal?
"aaa": the only effect of this token is, that in the first round, every enemy figure is activated before you do anything? i don't know, if this is really an advantage for giving up the special object.....
next:
-is it correct, that theafflication symbols have no use any longer? do the characters not to have the same afflication symbol any longer?
- what does the hermitica of heizinger mean (depending afflication symbols)? to they effect, e.g., yula and eva, because the don't belong to obscura corp but they do have the obscura korps afflication symbol...
- can eva use her iron cross everytime, even when it is not her turn?
-is hermanns patmos amulett affected of smoke (it is not an attack but a duel)?
-is karls luger affected by smoke(it is an attack but also mental)?
p. 81 The Catacombs map. Slightly to the left and down from the center is a half-blue/half-yellow circle. On my board and on the previous pathfinding reference sheets that I have seen, this circle was half-blue/half-purple instead.
