Minor Mistakes

[Falkayn]

These are really minor, but noticeable, and they do affect readability:

pg. 132 - Extra grey bar between the Ranks table.

pg. 138 - Grey bar missing at end of Earned Benefits table.

Many Duty Assignment tables - what do the brackets (8) mean around Rank Promo DCs? I can't find the explanatory text anywhere, IMO it should have been stated under the table as a note.

Feats - pg.108 mentions a PMOS feat, but it is not on any of the military service feat tables (seems strange). pg.109 mentions a Tactics feat which is the same as the Tactics I feat for Army, Marines and Travellers. I would imagine that special class feats should not be generally available? Also, it makes no sense to give the -4 penalty when using it 'untrained', as no one would ever bother doing this (unless you're suggesting that untrained leaders actually hamper their subordinates attack and defense rolls!?).

p125, under Promotion...

"If there are parentheses around the Promotion DC number, that is the DC for enlisted personnel. Officers add 2 to the DC - there are more enlisted positions available than commissioned ones."

The Tactics feats are slightly different...

The class Tactics I feat adds to initiative or saving throws for 2-12 people. Tactics II the same for larger units...

The general Tactics feat (p109-110) adds to attack and defense rolls for either size (up to company)

Yes, but that is what is weird about it. It seems redundant to have both, and Tactics is way overpowered as it affects attack and defense rolls, not just initiative and saving throws. It would not be allowed in MTU, it simply breaks the d20 system too much.

The feat just above it, Strategy, says that Tactics is a prerequisite, but what if I have Tactics I and II, don't they apply? They certainly seem to for the version of Strategy that is under the Army class (which does differ to the one under the feats section).

Basically, this looks to me like a forgotten edit rather than a deliberate ruling ...

Page 109) Strategy
Strategy is a specific class feat exclusive to the Army service class and requires the Tactics II class feat.

Page 109) Tactics
This feat should be removed as it has been superseded by the exclusive Tactics I and Tactics II feats available to the Army, Marine, and Mercenary classes.

On the PMOS issues, yes it should be listed for each of the service classes (only) in their class feat list. It should also be exclusive to these classes.
