Questions
The errata in 122 and 305 are already mentioned in the xml file.
Moreover, the xml file mentions '"gasolene" should be "gasoline"'. I
disagree. "gasolene" is also a correct spelling.
Capitalize "alsatian(s)"?
Capitalize "indian(s)"?
ammunition vs. Ammunition
Backpack item(s) vs. Backpack Item(s)
close combat weapon(s) vs. Close Combat Weapon(s)
missile weapon vs. Missile Weapon
rear view vs. rear-view
() vs. [] for close combat weapon stats
RNT+skill options; should they give options of 0-x or 3-x (or 6-x when two
skills are added together)?
Should we footnote each time you fire a round of ammunition to adjust your
Action Chart accordingly (a lot of footnotes)? Section 180 actually contains
text to erase a round of ammo, so the text from there could be adapted
accprdingly for the footnote.
de-activate vs. deactivate
pain killers vs. painkillers
G-12 vs. G12 [so: I'm afraid I don't know much about guns!]
V-8 vs. V8 [so: I'm afraid I don't really know much about cars either!]
