Page 105, 106, Who Can Hire: "Imperial Guards, Catachan Jungle Fighter Regional Platoon Only" and "Imperial Guards, Death Korps of Kreig Regional Platoon only."

Are we saying all the IG platoons or those specifici ones?

Imperial Guards are no longer an individual entry, but subdivided by Regional Platoons. The proper way to refer to Catachans is "Imperial Guard, Catachan Jungle Fighters". I see where this can create 'issues' with some people. It will be changed, to reflect the Zero-FAQ policy. The entry should read "Imperial Guard Catachan Jungle Fighter Regional Platoon Only" to emphasize that this is one thing. Suggestions welcomed.

Page 33, 5th paragraph, Grenades, "Regardlesss of how the weapon............are within Line of Sight" Do we want to include "Initiative Range" in this as if you test and are witin Initiative Range you would not need LOS and someone could argue that.

This is a matter to discuss. The issue refers also to grenades launched with Grenade Launchers... which is up to 18", way pass anyone Initiative Attribute. Having ALSO an "Initiative Range" is an interesting concept, but usually if you are out of LoS, the enemy maybe behind a wall.

Page 45, 6 paragraph, 2nd column, "The best way to .........................can cause problem is to think of a fighter..." Something is missing "can cause many problems" or something else, it seems wordy.

Fixed. The section now reads: "The best way to illustrate how this situation can cause problems is to think of a fighter using a tipped over wooden rectangular table as cover."

THANKS!!

Correct, the grenade launcher is a more unique item than a grenade so it does offer a chance to clarify.

I noticed that in the "Walking"section it talks about the -1 to BS if the model takes a normal Movement but I didn't see that in the shooting section.

It might be nice to have it listed in the Shooting section also to reinforce the point and for quick viewing or research of it.

Hmm... just noticed something. A lot of places in the book, you use the word "maybe", when it really should be "may be", two separate words. I can start giving you set pages, though a simple "find" search on your own might be faster.

Subject: Re: TRLB v0.4.4: Notes for next revision Tue Mar 16, 2010 10:48 am

MY FAULT.

I will do a find. I have been trying to fix 'em... they may all be, but you are 100% right.

HEY! Stop with the newpaper!!! I yield!

Can we add stood up with "Injuries" that starts on page 45. Even though not an injury people will be looking for the "Stood Up" modifiers and they are buried under another section.

Is a Psyker affected by the "Stood Up" rule?

Subject: Re: TRLB v0.4.4: Notes for next revision Sun Mar 21, 2010 7:51 pm

I think this could be a nice topic of debate on the Experimental Rules section. That way you can explain what you have in mind. Wink

Ok for the second part in experimental rules but how about the 1st part. It seems "stood" up in only listed in one section of the book (can't remember which one) either shooting or combat and one must go retrace their steps to find the modifers for Stood UP.

Imperial Guard

Page 159
2nd paragraph.

Among those many billions.......to change the fate of their fellows.
Change to ...to change the fate for their fellow Imperial citizens.

Page 160
1st paragraph.
Maybe we should restate that HG and SC do not count against squad size.

Page 161
last paragraph

Every plant is poisonous, making foraging impossible.
ADD: ...foraging nearly impossible.

Page 162
Paragraph 2
It is home to the renowned Catachan............
Change to: The planet Catachan is renowned for the Catachan Jungle fighter regiments of the Imperial Guard.

Page 162
Paragraph 2
jungle warfare in the entire galaxy, and their.....
Put a period at end of Galaxy and get rid of "and their reputation preceeds them"
That sentece was very long.

Page 162
Jungle Terrain Camoflage

but experience Officers have learned
experiened officers have....

Same Paragraph as above:
maximize the use of this terrain even more.
maximize the use of terrain more effectively.

Jungle Terrain Camoflage.....Note something at the bottom "Attempt to discuss terrain and what "counts as" before the game starts.

Page 164
Entrenchment
Paragraph 6
We might need to clarify that the recruits must be in cover as 3" away a recuit not be in cover but RAW would go contrary to what we intended.

Do you think we need to specify in teh Selecting this Regional Platoon that minus 100 only gives you 600 to spend? I know someone will ask.

Page 165
1st paragraph

"Tons"
No capital "T" needed.

Some spots are WORDY but this is how most of the GW fluff reads. Don't know if we want to go back and try to fix so it is 100% grammatically correct or leave as this is how most GW product is completed.

I need to reread again as when I read I get it and I could be assuming everyone gets it and maybe they won't as we notice with the questions. Those questions are great as it helps us pinpoint what is not rock solid as our goal from a long long time ago is to prevent a FAQ if at all possible and we have pretty much cleared that hurdle.
