some thigns of note in the rules:

no mount rules.

I really find it odd that every creature only gets 1 attack. From the lowly 1st level guy to a 12th level dwarf Warlord....

very odd.

no more multiple attacks.

May you find peace and happiness at the hand of Hextor.

Some changes I noticed:

Post single activation 1st
Initiative winner grants map, opponent picks side, init winner places warband, opponent places warband
Diagonal movement not penalized
Rough terrain only counts when moving into a rough terrain square (even for large creatures)
Critical hits double base and energy effect damage

There appears to be saving throws of some sort.

Shift appears to be a 5' step without AoO

I've pretty much updated the gallery with what I could find on my site. With defiant rake as well.

I have yet to see the rules (no access from work) and it has taken over an hour to download the file and its still going.  Stuoid dial up.Â

From what I have read so far everything sounds very interesting.Â

No Mount rules and we have an Erratta already.  What's up with that.Â
