I think all these are covered in the forum posts, mostly under Rules Discussion.

I agree that there should be a section for official HQ rulings and clarifications to help newer players (and more experienced) who might not know that their points have already been discussed.

I too would like to request the creation of an errata/FAQ page or doc. This is a must have in my book. The creation of this should have started on D-day, when it was released and should have been well started before the release of any expansions. I know I'm a NOOB but I have no idea what is right or wrong or in error or changed or fixed...... etc....

With the greatest respect guys there really is no need for an FAQ or errata.

1) no idea what this question is...
2) 1 deck.. you get one in the starter set which contains two forces so why would you ever need another?
3) if you read the rules carefully this is answered, it's not that you have to have two corners unseen, it's that you have to have two corners obscured by tanks or terrain.
4) covered under the cards page, 1 of each sort and a limit on total crew count.
5) if from the turret the tank draws Los through terrain then cover is given.

Sry but this answer is stupid. For example: Tanks is very similar to X-Wing. There every player MUST HAVE his own dmg-deck. But in the starter are also 2 armies but 1 deck.

And it's not very clear in the rules you need 1 per player or 1 for both

We always do because each player has to have his own stuff

Maybe i didn't explain clearly enough. As no rule says you need one each then you don't. If x wing says you need one each that's absolutely wonderful for those guys but this isn't x wing and there is no such rule. Most people also bring their own dice but again there is no requirement., Should we get an FAQ on that too? The point is that unless the rules expressly say you need a deck per person then you don't. And why would you need two decks? The difference is so marginal it's not an issue.

An FAQ is only relevant if there is an issue effecting game play. Using one or two decks​ has no difference statistically in favouring one player or the other. You don't need it to be FAQ ed as it A) doesn't effect how the game plays and B) noone is ever going to make an issue of it. The cover questions have more relevance as they relate to potential issues but this is just silly

I'm an X-Wing player and the similarities of the games is part of what drew me in. That and it's tanks. :>)

But the games aren't exactly alike. X-Wing needs a deck for each player because of how hits are tracked on each ship. Tanks doesn't need more than one per game (yes, even multi-player ... we've done it) because very few cards aren't shuffled back in at the end of each turn.

Not to presume you have taken an unsuccessful dig at my intelligence, but I feel you are missing the point, here. An FAQ is a rules document that answers the most frequently asked questions in plain terms. Give a quick search of the rules forum for the word "cover," or "movement," and you might consider those topics frequently questioned. That's not even counting the myriad of Facebook discussion that has no overlap with the forum, or folks who don't utilize the internet to settle their rules disputes. Collecting and addressing the most popular questions about those topics is an important task and generally starts in play-testing so a properly written rulebook can preemptively answer a new players questions.

An errata is necessary to correct mistakes and homogenize language, from the official rules, such as; "page X should include the passage 'you may not reroll a die more than once,' our bad" or, "the 'normal move' on Dr Franz Bake's commander card is a typical extra move, sorry for the confusion." Unless they meant that the extra move is made as if it were moving during the proper phase, in which case it should be clarified as such. An errata does not need to be a long document, and in truth, I think a Tanks errata would be quite short, but no less important.

And in case you think I'd forgotten: yes, a proper rule book does inform you of which dice you'll be using, for what purpose, and how. None of us were born with wargaming in our brains, and some folks learn the very basics from a curious afternoon with a book, rather than a veteran gamer.

I'm very sorry if you were offended by my post that was not it's intention. And thank you very much for explaining what an FAQ is but i think the core issue is that until we can find some actual unanswered issues which can't be solved by reading the rules or applying common sense then there isn't really going to be anything to out in the FAQ or errata. To clarify if there are issues which can't be answered i am all for an FAQ, hell, i haven't seen all the upgrades so im sure something might be out there but so far all i can see is an argument for FAQs without any content.

As Benjamin Franklin once said "Common sense is not so common" :-)
