> Will GDW slay Errata for good with version 1 mod 1?
"Verily, I say onto you, the beast whose name is E-Rah-Tah and
its brother Ty-Po have each nine heads and seven crowns, and when
thou slayest one head, two rise in its place."
> What errata is currently available?
TNE has one, but We will be issuing a new one within a few
weeks. This will bring the old (1st printing) books up to the
standards of version 1 mod 1, and will be available free. FF&S
will have an errata sheet issued at about the same time, although
a certain amount of corrections were included in the update
booklet.
> Where may such wise lore be found?
Send us your land address, and one will find its way to you.
> Does this involve more than changes to system travel
times?
Yes

> A 11.43x23mm pistol design using FF&S
The test design Frank worked up differs from yours in minor
details, among which are the fact that we did the round at TL-5,
not TL-8.
As a side note, the TL-5 .357 magnum revolver I designed
matched prototype specs almost perfectly, barrel length, ammo
length, weapon mass, etc...only ammo mass was off by a bit.

OK. TL-10 (chosen for no particular reason) 2cm Med Vel grenade
First, design the rounds (using the Munitions chapter, starting
on page 135 of FF&S, see FF&S for the meaning of the
abbreviations)
Damage TL-10
1*0.66 = 0.66 = rounds to 1
SQRTC*7 = SQRT2*7 = 1.41421*7 = 9.89947, which has to
he nearest burst template, which in this case is 5 (see
84 of the TNE rules).
5*.5 = 2.5 = 3. A 3 meter burst pattern uses the 15
ern as shown on page 284 of TNE, but the squares of the
ern are 2 meters, not 10 meters.
