First update is here, and they're sticking to the AP system for combat.
A sniper can now take a called, aimed shot for 4AP, but can't dodge. That would be alright if he could kill with that shot, however it's still not certain. However using ability bonuses for weapon effects is interesting.
Major upgrade of Pen for most weapons, especially plasma.
Armour has also been tweaked, much better for power armour.
I've only had a quick look so far, still at work, but let's open it up, discuss!
