I recently purchased the ASLRB with the 2020 update: it's great that the new rulebook pages have been included! The rulebook also comes with a 4-page list of official errata that isn't included in the rulebook pages or on the dividers. This list is meant to be definitive, but I noticed that some of the official errata wasn't included:
Official Errata: (note: the errata in this section has been applied to the eASLRB)
Chapter H:
--German Veh Note 61: missing Slow Turret symbol. [J7]
--German Veh Note 92: Truck movement. [J3]
--German Veh Note 93: add "BU" to line 14 in 2nd paragraph. [J7]
--Russian Ord Table: note "A" should be in the 3rd row, not the 4th row. [J3]
Dividers:
--Chapter B Divider Terrain Chart: add "Level-One or" to the Olive Grove "LOS Obstacle/Hindrance" column [J11]
--Chapter C Divider OBA SoP: change "AR" to "SR" in the last white rectangle in "Converting and/or Correcting a SR" section. [J11]
--Chapter Divider OVR Flowchart: change "ends the MPh" to "ends its MPh" in the "Vehicle may exit if able" box. (In the 3rd bullet after the "Staying in the Location" header.) [J11]
--Support Weapons Chart on the pink divider: In the "PF, PFk:" line, delete note "B" from the "1 IPC(2PP Max) SMC" column. [J7]
--A12.121 Concealment Loss/Gain Table: in Case E after "overstacked," and in Case F after "Wounded," add "fails a MC,". [J10]
--Shock/UK Chart on the gray Chapter D divider: the rules reference "C7.4" should be shown.
Errata that isn't official, but I think ought to be:
Notebook:
--Inside front cover: Foxhole: DR must be "≤5" not "≥5".
Dividers:
--QRDC and Chapter A divider: CCT: "Sequential CC:" should list "Vehicle" not "AFV".
--QRDC and Chapter A divider: A3 SoP: the Rally Phase should be blue, not purple (see A3.1).
--A12.121 Concealment Loss/Gain Table: in Case C, line 1: after "Location;" insert "claim/forfeit WA;".
--Chapter C: Gun Destruction Table: there shouldn't be a superscript "2" after OVR in the column heading
--Chapter C: "DC Placement vs. AFV" should be titled "DC Position vs. AFV", like it does in C7.346.
--ASOP: In 1.11A, last line: move G1.664 to be after E9.1-.11.
--ASOP: In 1.22B, delete the second D3.7 reference.
Rules:
--A7.212 EX: missing "BU" from the BU marker in the figure.
--A7.309: delete "(unless HD)" to match the errata to A3.708.
--A7.8: remove "SF" from the back of the Pin counter image.
--A10.5: line 11: after "(B25.4)" append "or water obstacle (B21.43)".
--A10.5 EX: the hex numbers in this figure are unreadable.
--A10.62: Last sentence should not be italicized. Line 14 should end in a period.
--A11.52 CC EX: The "CC" counter is the wrong color.
--A11.52 CC EX: 4th paragraph: line 5: "woods" should be "building".
--A12.141: line 2: after "phone;" insert "claiming/forfeiting WA;". (B9.322)
--A12.15: line 11: Delete "or captured" to match the official errata to A10.533.
--A15.1 Table: The "non-elite Italian/Axis Minors" footnote is keyed to the asterisk in the rulebook but to the dagger in the Chapter A divider.
--B9.42 EX: last sentence: add ", N4 or O4" after "O5". A snap shot from N4 or O4 to the unit entering P3 from P4 would also include hedge TEM. (Yes, the P3-P4-O4 vertex is clear, but the P3-P4-Q4 vertex gets hedge TEM.)
--B20.2 EX: Delete "Q3" from the list of hexes that can be seen from a unit IN P5. (VASL also shows the LOS as being blocked.)
--C1.22: last line: ";" should be "(".
--C10.3 EX: Should the "DFPh" be changed to "opponent's MPh", so that it agrees with the Perry Sez on A4.62? (If not, then somewhere it should be stated how long the Hazardous Movement penalty persists.)
--All references to Gung Ho, West of Alamein, Code of Bushido, and Hedgerow Hell should be updated.
Index:
--Optional rules: add Crests footnote C9, and footnote D12 for Gyrostabilizers, and A8.10 Optional First Fire Counters.
--Vehicular Fire: explain what precisely is included, especially with respect to Riders, Passengers, removeable armaments, and AAMG fire.
Picayune Stuff:
--Comprehensive Rout Example: 1st paragraph, line 1: Replace "P8" with "3P8".
--Close Combat Comprehensive Example: 1st paragraph, line 2: Replace "F3" with "1F3".
--A20.52: delete the errant extra space before the final period.
--Chapter B divider: the font on the backside of this green divider is wavy and not crisp like on all of the other dividers. The inside of the blue Chapter C divider suffers from the same problem.
--Chapter B divider: A24 SMOKE Summary: four of the SMOKE counters have inadvertent gray squares on them.
--B0.5 EX: In the image, the level-1 hill terrain is almost the same color as--and therefore almost indistinguishable from--the level-1 open ground terrain.
--pp. B7vB & B8vB: all of the images on these two pages are badly pixelated.
--pp. B9-B10B: the font on these four pages has annoying uneven spaces between the letters: all of the lower case d's and u's are shifted a smidge to the right, and all of the lower case t's are shifted a smidge to the left. And several of the capital letters have similar issues. Odd.
--Inadvertent Extra Spaces: A12.14, line 9--after "all"; B9.35 EX2, final paragraph, line 20--before "4-6-8"; B9.36 EX, 1st paragraph, last line--before "KV-1S"; B9.6, last line--before "hedges"; B9.61 EX--before the 1st sentence period; B36.6--before "BPV"; B29.4--line 2, after the "/"; C6.521--line 13, after the "/".
--B10.1 EX2: bad line spacing; missing punctuation at the end of both lines.
--B19.51 EX: delete this entire example, it's wholly redundant given the B19.5 EX.
--B20.41: line 2: after "all purposes" insert "[EXC: B33.13]".
--B28.52: line 8: insert a ";" before "Random Immobilization".
--B33.11: line 7: insert ")" after "hex".
--C3.2 EX: The first sentence of this example contains new rulings--that information should be included in rule C3.2 proper.
--D3.4: The name on the counter is obscured.
Clarity Suggestions:
--A10.51: penultimate line: after "than its starting hex" add "was from that known enemy unit". (As opposed to "was from that building/woods hex"--another reading that is possible, both grammatically and mechanically.)
--A11.8: line 9: change "CC attack" to "CC attacks against them". (Otherwise you wonder which CC attack this sentence is referring to.)
--A12.15: line 28: delete "from the firer's hex". (Snap shots always come "from the firer's hex", but this phrase makes you look for some special nuance, yet as far as I can tell there is no nuance intended.)
--B11.42: The first sentence and the penultimate sentence in this rule could be more precise about tracing LOS when a unit is climbing a vertex between two cliff hexsides in the Climber's hex.
