Here is what i found so far in the Player's Manual. Got as far as the Explosion section.
Pg 15 for the Strength Attribute, Toughness is spelled wrong.
Pg 17 under Appearance, “features features” – Repetitive word.
Pg 20 on the checklist at 15, there is an additional “1” that need to be deleted before the word “decided.”
Pg 43 under Mishaps, there is a missing explosion symbol after the word “explosion:”
Pg 55 on Terrain chart. Visibility has infinity symbols, but under the other categories uses dashes. What does the infinity symbol mean and if it means “no modifier”, why not just out a dash?
Anyone else find anything in either manual?

Also found another error...Persuasion is a skill in the Player's Manual, but on the character sheet it says Manipulation.

it would be nice if this could be pointed out in the dropbox book as well. That would make them much easier to find for FL.
Moderator Action: I added the alpha tag so it is easier to identify the thread in the future.

Typos
On the Character Sheet, under Strength there is a skill listed as Melee = when it should be Close Combat
pg. 88, Supply & Quantities Table
Scarce (S),
3rd line = pickup trucks, flak jackets, helmets, night military ra-
4th line = dios, vision goggles, searchlights, radiacmeters, hazmat
Conclusion = Night Vision goggles and military radios are messed up, and I don't know what radiacmeters is supposed to be.

Diaz is alternately referred to as "him" or "her" which reminds me of this

I realise that they are not final but the pages numbers in the Referee's Manual are all over the place.
Section 2 Encounters restarts the page count so the first numbered page is 03 when it should be 12. The numbers then go 010 to 020.
Section 3 Factions starts at page 23 when it should be page 32.
Section 4 Scenario Sites starts at page 31 when it should be page 40.
Also the Referee's Manual has issues printing out for me at least using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC. The pages from the missing image splash pages 02 down to page 010 ending Hunters and Their Prey will not print for me.
Ok the issue seems to be the screwed up page numbers. If you try to print just a section by putting in the actual page numbers the problem with the page numbers noted above kick in. For example I tried to print using the Pages option only pages 13-14 - the actual page numbers - which are the first two text pages of section 02 with the tables Stationary Encounters and ending with the table Typical NPCs and instead it printed out the pages 013 and 014 which are actually pages 23-24 of the document.
The result of this is you need to print the whole document as one print job (select the All option) or pieces will be missing.

RPK-74 - in the decscription, it mentions that the weapons was issued with 45 round magazines. In the stats it has the weapon with a 40 round magazine.
Smoke grenades - as the weren't listed under grenades but it was mentioned that smoke could be used, I used the same statistics as the WP grenade without the fire
The following terms are often used in different points but I believe the mean the same
- Skills
Persuasion - Manipulation
Close Combat - Melee
The magazine size of the M21 is stated as 5, this should be 20
The magazine size of the M16 and M4 should be 20/30, as both take the STANAG magazines and both are common
Use 0.25 and 0.5 instead of fractions. They are hard to read on the screen from a PDF
In the rules, the machineguns are classified as Light, Medium and Heavy. In the equipment list, they are listed as Light, General Purpose Machinegun and Heavy. I would use the same nomeclature in both cases.
GRSP 40 has the type HMB in the stats. This should be GL.
