1) No mention of any progress with the backup rule. Are we reverting that to the 2.4 version where at least 1/2 of the facing side of the backing unit must be touching the unit that it is backing up?
The document which is up is
only for rule changes which have received the
Official Stamp from Chad. In the Rules thread there are some rules which have a virtual consensus among players, but which have not at this point received the Official Stamp; those rules are not on the document.
There's been a bunch of back-and-forth about the backup rule, but at the moment there does not appear to be even a strong majority in favor of any one change, never mind an Official Stamp. Hence, it's not on the document.
2) Flying units are considered to have high ground in comparison to units on the ground. All fair and good. I just think it needs to be pointed out that the high ground bonus will now only benefit the fliers by extending the range bands since the +1/+0 modifier is (justifiably) gone.
OK, I just inserted a little reminder the High Ground rule number. If every rule contained a reminder of the full text of every other rule which was applicable the rulebook would triple in size.
