General Carnot asked for a court-martial, but this was refused. He was simply posted to a staff position in Paris and refused to be employed. However, in 2294 a new Republic was formed (13th French Republic) from the ruins of the junta, with Nicolas Ruffin as President. In 2295 Carnot's request...

The general feeling in the community was that army units having starfighters was silly. In my Martel writeup (link) I wrote: "The 1/4 Escadron is mostly manned by American volunteers on secondment from the USSF but also includes some Bavarian ex-patriots. Misunderstanding of this has led to...

As, the TFL commander calling himself "legate" is very silly. Legions are a part of British/American military history, and the TFL is modelled on an American Legion - a regiment that is an all-arms mix of cavalry, infantry and artillery. There were a bunch of these in Confederate service and the...

The river running through Glorysky and on down from the Dry Lake Flats does not exist on the original map. Moreover, it is flowing uphill in places... I did mention Glorysky is a mining camp, not an agricultural town?

Not errata, but the formation of the Tanstaafl Free Legion is incorrect. It is described in Kafer Dawn. Per the original, the TFL has it's origins with Colonel Randolph Prescott, an American former regular officer who was cashiered from his command on Ellis, and was in Tanstaafl in 2298. He was...

I noticed the hand, also their weird mouth "swords," the "knee-claw" etc. Also, Kafers have a carapace, and thus have a permanent stoop. A Human would look down on a Kafer.

The fighting at Tithonus in 2298 is messed up. Further, the astrography is messed up, and in the AEH etc. Tithonus casts an 87 light-second STL zone. At warp-1, it takes about 6 h from the shelf to Aurore, or about 4 h for a canonical Kafer BB. The dead zone (i.e. what Colin calls "the Wall")...

There is a hierarchy, but it's more like military rank based on intelligence. There is a clear division into two major groupings: Gnich*luchk'! - translates as "oversuzerain." The current "king." Gnich*luchk’!ah - translates as "suzerains of destiny". Senior government figures, such as...

I don't know whether it counts as errata, but Glorysky doesn't match the description in the source material. Glorysky is: "Glorysky: Population: 1800. Principal products: Copper, tin, lead, and heavy metals." It is a mining encampment on the Barrier Ridge on the southern edge of the Equator...

That what Gygax would have had you believe, because his contribution was the "Chainmail" wargame rules. However, original D&D contained alternative combat rules (which became D&D combat) whilst recommending you also buy Chainmail. D&D was really the product of Dave Arneson's mind, and Blackmoor...

In English, umlauts are ignored, like acutes, thorns etc.. Käfer is properly rendered as Kafer in English. I know this infuriates German speakers, but that's how loanwords are transliterated. In the game, Kafer is how the name for the Vah (their actual name) was rendered for non-German...

The creation of a pseudo-racial caste system of spacers-planet dwellers-goons is contrary to established canon. The Kafer stress response makes them more permanently intelligent with every exposure (i.e in the Vakach* or other combat), and per their quasi-religious beliefs (Ch *kaar Gurrruthr...

Everyone gets to play. Economics etc. matter for naught. Let us remember that Manchuria could not stop a single French cruiser rampaging around just over a decade ago. To be clear, as written in the core material the entire idea of "battleships" is new, and they aren't battleships as we'd think...

The ships and numbers thereof are in contradiction with the AEH. However, it was the AEH that was in error, and so this is a correction.

The name of the German BC at Earth is wrong. It is the Guderian.
