Errata Rundown!

 

As some of you may have noticed, I’ve not posted here this last week. Life, of the most unfortunate type, sometimes happens, and I am glad to be writing again.

Not this Saturday, but the one previous, I went to a tournament, one of the Store Wars series that I’ve been participating in for some 5 months. Our Team, the Titanic Bastards, has been doing Ok, winning the first tournament and nipping at the heals of the winners ever since. I Captained the first event, and then was out for the next three. This month, though, the first real tournament of 3rd edition, I was looking forward to some solid, competitive games.

Before that, though! Lets take a look at some errata!

Right!   13 Pages of fixes, wording changes, and updates to the rules to complete the process set in place. It seems like they knew they would hit a few snags along the way, and building in a change document seemed to be the best way. This time, they will be updating the Cards, online and for free.

So, whats in it?
