Wrong Address Corrected: Play by Mail BattleTech Fans Relieved Perhaps the strangest, certainly the most unfortunate of the errors in transmission was the advertisement in BattleTechnology # 13 for Future Simulations' new play by mail BattleTech. This eagerly-awaited game was delayed in several sectors of the Inner Sphere by an incorrect old address appearing on the advertisement. Hundreds of gamers who prefer the independence of play-by-mail were disappointed. BattleTechnology wishes to apologize to these gamers personally as well as to Future Simulations. We should have checked the transmissions more carefully. We refer our readers to page 14 for the correct address.

ComStar Explains Error For anyone who was curious but was afraid or unable to ask ( ever tried to write a letter to the editor while avoiding an angry Battlemaster?) this is for you. Yes. Ever since 3040 an alarming number of errors and misprints have cropped up in our magazine and our weekly news bulletins. Long have we agonized over how drastic errors such as these could be occurring. We explored every conceivable angle and even replaced our major computer systems on a number of worlds. This did little if any thing to alleviate the problem. We were intrigued and soon pleased to receive a personal Vid disk apology from Primus Myndo Waterly just after publication of issue #13, year-end 3049. Well it seems that the prolonged use of Particle Projection Cannons in and around the vicinity of Hyper-Pulse generators causes occasional glitches in messages sent via the Com-Star system. Now only since 3029 have PPC's been used with any regularity near Hyper-Pulse generators. This is of course due to Com-Star's own Com-Guard regiments that now faithfully guard their stations throughout the Known Spheres. As our main editorial office is located on Terra we have had the most problems with this technical glitch because the Com-Guard's biggest concentration of forces are stationed here. They promise that precautions have now been taken to prevent this in the future, but they cannot say how long the effects may persist. We at Battle Technology promise renewed diligence to make sure these errors are kept to a minimum. Primus Waterly also wishes to use our magazine to covey Com-Stars apologies to any one else who has so been affected. In addition if verification can be presented that a message you sent in the past decade was grossly in error, Com-Star will provide 110% reimbursement. --Marcus Killigrew, Staff Writer, BattleTechnology BattleTechnology Regrets The authors name was left off of the Mortars in BattleTech article in BattleTechnology # 13.
