Misprinted CDs: In some Rio Grande copies, the labels on the Tutorial and Mission CDs are switched, or one CD is missing and there are two copies of the other CD with two different labels. Current copies have just one CD in MP3 format that includes all 16 soundtracks (tutorial and mission). More information: 1 2 3 4

Misprinted Cards: In some Rio Grande copies, the threat cards are printed on smaller cardstock than other editions. This results in not being able to shuffle the threat cards from the expansion into the deck. Czech Games will replace the misprinted cards. This issue has been resolved for current printings.
