Mantic Games - New Vanguard Rules

Mantic Games offers an updated version of the Kings of War Vanguard rules:

Integrated previous errata and FAQ and cleared up some language
Added the Ice & Iron campaign and story into the core rulebook + all the new scenarios – as mentioned we have sold out of the Ice & Iron supplement, so thought this was a great opportunity to include the extra missions in the core book
Removed all warbands from the rulebook – this may seem like an odd decision, but these are all free online (you can download them here) or in EasyArmy for list building. This means the rulebook doesn’t go out of date as soon as we release a new warband and it allows us to errata units more easily, without immediately making the rulebook obsolete
Called all counters and markers “tokens” for consistency
Forced Fatigue now called Heroic Effort – there was some confusion among players about the difference between Fatigue and Forced Fatigue, so we’ve cleared this up
Standing models that are engaged by an enemy model can now Brace as well as Break Away and Melee
Break Away action updated to free Melee attack with no retaliations. Models Breaking away can no longer engage another enemy model when doing so
Amended the Jumping rule to be more consistent (so rolling high is better)
Clarified what objectives are the scenarios and their sizes
Changed what happens if one side is wiped out – the game is played to completion
Reduced speed to 5 while carrying the plans in Recover the Plans
Noted in several scenarios that models need to be standing to contest or claim objectives
Burn the Stores – short actions now to start/put out fires and position of the barn adjusted
Updated the Portal scenario to teleport models back to their own deployment area instead of into the void
Clarified the Malevolence spell
In campaigns, reduced the amount you have to spend on the Company at the start to 250.
Restructured the order of the phases to make them more logical.
Also updated the underdog bonus dice rules and allowed them to be used each Round
Changed Mauler to Grizzled Veteran with new rules
