Page 87 - map of the Wawel Castle.

TBH, this is quite disappointing. I could get better from a tourist map and it doesn't really show anything that isn't already there today. Where are the defences and the checkpoints? Where are the additional makeshift troop quarters that you would need for the garrison (the Wawel doesn't have enough rooms to quarter them all and the officers would nab the best ones anyway)? The map also cuts off the ramped access from the street to the east (top right on the plan), which is actually the main access to the castle.

Appendix 1: Kraków - p.79 - quotation

Struggling with the logic here:
But here, in Krakow, it’s like the old world returned. This could be any city before Edison electrified everything.
Firstly, Edison was an ambitious guy but I'm pretty sure he didn't electrify everything - the implication is he did it personally. Secondly, if it's like the old world returned, then why is it like any city before Edison electrified everything? Surely you mean after? I know it's a quotation and speaks figuratively but ...

Appendix 1: Kraków - Old Town Hall (Ratusz) - p. 83 - Accuracy

Kraków's City Council is based at the Wielopolski Palace (a pretty impressive building) near Poselska Street in the Old Town (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wielopolski_Palace). Wikipedia says they've been in that building since the 19th century. The Town Hall Tower in the Rynek Główny is the remains of a building demolished in the early 19th century (it couldn't be abandoned "early in the war" as suggested on p. 83 because it isn't there).

Ch. 4 - Factions - Free Polish 6th Brigade p. 38-39

Is the core of this unit not the 6 Brygada Powietrznodesantowa (6th Airborne / Air Assault Brigade)? They have their origins in the 6th Pomeranian Air Assault Brigade.

It would be logical if they were, as they have a base just outside the Old Town in Kraków (the unit is actually based over four locations in southern Poland, of which Kraków is one). A logical step for any mayor or prezydent of Kraków would be to ensure that they had strong ties with this unit, particularly if the city was considering taking steps such as declaring itself as a city state.

Not quite sure I understand the logic of ORMO (communist people's militia that were disbanded in 1989) or ZOMO (paramilitary communist police units that were hated in communist Poland). From what I understand the Poles couldn't wait to get rid of such communist organisations in 1989. I know however this was one of the quirks from the (communist era) original module.

BTW, if you're going to stick with ZOMO there's a typo on p.39 ("ZORMO").

Spelling error: Page 37 on the WHO section. Second paragraph, third line "Rife with tails" should be 'Tales'. And same line "wearing NC gear" should be 'NBC' gear.

Page 46: Anna Jankowski should be Anna Jankowska. Polish men use -ski, women use -ska.

Typo -- Chapter 1 PLAYING IN CITIES | THE FIRE OF CIVILIZATION, page 6.
Yet, rumors of cities with electricity and functioning government run through the countryside of devastation likes tails of the Grail once did through these selfsame lands.
The word tails should be tales.

Corrected:
Yet, rumors of cities with electricity and functioning government run through the countryside of devastation likes tales of the Grail once did through these selfsame lands.

Typo -- Appendix II | KARLSBORG | ARRIVAL, page 89.

Last sentence in the first paragraph.
The Hussars question the PC briefly but let them pass unless they are hostile, and direct them to the fortress.
PC should be plural. Also, the order of information in the sentence could be cleared up a bit. See revised option below.

Corrected:
The Hussars question the PCs briefly but let them pass unless they are hostile, and direct them to the fortress.
Revised option:
The Hussars briefly question the PCs. Unless the PCs are hostile, the Hussars will let them pass and direct them to the fortress.

Extra Word & Awkward Phrasing-- Appendix II | KARLSBORG | ANATOLI MALEKOV, page 93.

The Extra word is in the first paragraph, last sentence.
His main adversary in the town is the GRU.
The the before town can be omitted.

Corrected:
His main adversary in town is the GRU.
The awkward phrasing is in the second Paragraph, first sentence.
As opposed to the GRU, Malekov does not have one set base of operations, instead preferring to keep moving and rarely staying two nights in a row at the same place.
Remove As opposed to and use Unlike instead.

Corrected:
Unlike the GRU, Malekov does not have one set base of operations, instead preferring to keep moving and rarely staying two nights in a row at the same place.
