\section{Version 1.0}
2+
3+
This errata applies to version 1.0 of the BattleTech: Outworlds Wastes rules.
4+
5+
\subsection{Advanced Force Construction Rules}
6+
7+
Add the following paragraph at the end of the section:
8+
9+
League organizers may allow additional adjustments, such as allowing a commander to use two faction lists instead of one faction list and one general list.
10+
Any additional adjustments must be available to all commanders.
11+
12+
\subsection{Casual Scenario Primary Objectives}
13+
14+
The following changes fix Alpha Strike compatibility for Casual Scenarios.
15+
Update the following items on p. 25 of the full rules and p. 9 of the quickstart rules as follows:
16+
17+
\begin{enumerate}
18+
19+
\setcounter{enumi}{1}
20+
\item {\bfseries Supply Raid}: 3-7 supply depots are on the map, near the center.
21+
Each supply depot has 1-3 loads of supplies.
22+
Any unit with hands or cargo capacity can load supplies from the depot if they end the Movement Phase in the same hex.
23+
Standard cargo loading rules apply.
24+
A 'Mech carrying supplies can't fire arm weapons (BattleTech) or does -2 damage (Alpha Strike).
25+
A unit carrying supplies earns a portion of 7,000,000 C-bills for bringing the supplies to their home edge.
26+
Each side cannot score from the same supply depot twice until they score from every other supply depot.
27+
28+
\setcounter{enumi}{7}
29+
\item {\bfseries Recovery}: 4-6 disabled 'Mechs are equally spaced along the map diagonal.
30+
A unit of equal or higher weight class can drag a target 'Mech.
31+
A friendly unit must be in the same hex as the target 'Mech during the End Phase to start dragging it.
32+
Units without hand actuators must use 1 turn securing the target 'Mech.
33+
The dragging unit has a 1/2 reduction in their walking MP and cannot jump.
34+
A target 'Mech cannot fire weapons in one arm (BattleTech) or does -1 damage (Alpha Strike).
35+
A unit earns a proportion of 7,000,000 C-bills for each 'Mech returned to their home map edge.
36+
37+
\end{enumerate}
38+
39+
\subsection{Battlefield Support}
40+
41+
The BattleTech: Mercenaries box set updated the Battlefield Support system for BattleTech.
42+
Replace the Battlefield Support subsection of the Scenario section with the following text:
43+
44+
By default, \emph{BattleTech: Outworlds Wastes} assumes commanders are using the full rules for combined arms from \emph{BattleTech: Total Warfare} and \emph{Alpha Strike: Commander's Edition}.
45+
League organizers may allow Battlefield Support: Strikes rules (p. 75, \emph{BMM} and p.55, \emph{AS: CE}) to provide simplified aerospace and artillery support and off-board artillery rules for Alpha Strike (see p. 151, \emph{AS: CE}).
46+
League organizers may also allow Battlefield Support: Assets rules (BattleTech: Mercenaries box set) to provide simplified non-'Mech units, such as combat vehicles and infantry.
47+
48+
\subsubsection{Battlefield Support: Strikes and Off-Board Artillery}
49+
50+
Each side for a scenario must agree to use Battlefield Support: Strikes or off-board artillery rules.
51+
When using Battlefield Support: Strikes rules, each side receives the same number of Battlefield Support Points (BSP).
52+
Consult the Battlefield Support rules in Alpha Strike: Commander's Edition or BattleTech: Mercenaries box set, as appropriate, to help determine the number of BSP and the cost of each support type.
53+
Each side may also agree to use any unused BV from force selection to purchase additional BSP, where 1 BSP costs 20 BV.
54+
Commanders may increase their BSP by up to half of the BSP limit.
55+
56+
The following additional rules apply when using Battlefield Support: Strikes or off-board artillery.
57+
58+
\begin{itemize}
59+
60+
\item The commander's force must have a unit capable of offering the support.
61+
62+

Counter-Battery Support (BSP) & Artillery or aerospace unit \\

80+
\end{table}
81+
82+
\item The commander must declare which off-map unit in their force is offering support during the scenario before using the off-map support rules.
83+
The same unit must be used to provide this type of support for the rest of the scenario, unless this unit is destroyed.
84+
85+
\item Commanders declare what Battlefield Support they are using this turn at the start of the Weapon Attack Phase while declaring attacks.
86+
87+
\item The first successful use of Defensive Aerospace Support or Counter-Battery Support/Fire damages the attacking unit.
88+
The second successful use destroys the attacking unit.
89+
90+
\end{itemize}
91+
92+
Counter-Battery Support is a new form of Battlefield Support for BattleTech that mirrors the Counter-Battery Fire rule from Alpha Strike.
93+
94+
{\bfseries Counter-Battery Support}:
95+
Counter-Battery Support costs 14 BSP and can only be used once enemy Artillery Support has been used.
96+
The Target Number for Counter-Battery Support is 7.
97+
Reduce the Target Number by 1 for each use of enemy Artillery Support where a friendly unit had LOS to the point of impact.
98+
Reset the Target Number to 7 if the enemy artillery unit is destroyed by 2 successful Counter-Battery Support attacks.
99+
100+
\subsubsection{Battlefield Support: Assets}
101+
102+
Each side for a scenario must agree to use Battlefield Support: Assets rules.
103+
Commanders may agree to only use Battlefield Support: Assets rules for some types of units, such as conventional infantry units.
104+
Commanders should use the same rules for every unit of the same type in the scenario, BattleTech: Total Warfare or Battlefield Support: Assets.
105+
106+
When converting a unit in a force to an Asset, first compute the Asset skill level by taking the average of the Gunnery and Driving skills, rounding down, and adding 2.
107+
Only BV values for skill 5 and skill 6 are provided on the Asset cards, so unit skill levels may be temporarily degraded for a scenario to a higher skill level.
108+
Use the BV cost of the Asset at the computed skill level.
109+
110+
For BattleTech: Outworlds Wastes, an Asset is considered \emph{damaged} if the Destroy Check Target Number is reduced to (base Destroy Check Target Number + 4) / 2, rounded down.
111+
For example, the Manticore Heavy Tank Asset is considered \emph{damaged} when the Destroy Check Target Number is reduced to (10 + 4) / 2 = 7 while the Warrior H-7 Asset is considered \emph{damaged} when the Destroy Check Target Number is reduced to (5 + 4) / 2 = 4.
112+
113+
If the BV of the Asset at skill 6 is lower than the BV of the unit at Gunnery 4/Driving 5 under Total Warfare rules, scale the \emph{repair} and \emph{replace} costs to account for the unit being less combat effective.
114+
For example, a Manticore Heavy Tank Asset is 420 BV at skill 6, while the Manticore Heavy Tank under Total Warfare rules costs 993 BV.
115+
The Manticore Heavy Tank Asset has 42\% of the BV, so it only costs 279,196 C-bills to \emph{repair} or 558,392 C-bills to \emph{replace} instead of the 660,100 C-bills to \emph{repair} or 1,320,200 C-bills to \emph{replace} the unit using full Total Warfare rules.
116+
Do not apply any modifiers for quirks or DropShip modifications when \emph{repairing} or \emph{replacing} Assets.
117+
118+
\subsection{Sample Scenario Logistics Tracking}
119+
120+
The Sample Scenario Logistics Tracking in the event rules references \emph{Refit}, which is no longer part of the event rules.
121+
The following sample tracking sheet should be used instead on p.9 of the event rules.

First select a faction list for the region in which the force was founded or primarily operates and then pick an appropriate general list.

For example, a mercenary force that was founded in the Draconis Combine but moved to the Periphery after Coordinator Takashi Kurita's \emph{Death to Mercenaries} edict could use Draconis Combine faction list with the Periphery General list.
