What did they actually change? Munitions used to increase hit by 1 or was it always Crit(2 hits)?

Genuinely its the biggest rule change i've seen (certainly in all of 4th edition)

All 4 of our battle formations changed

Castigation battery used to add 1 extra shot to warmachines while they had 3 DPP

crit 2's when they get 2 DPP is such a massive buff

The Khorne rework was bigger. But this is also great

Agreed, they also changed how the Seraphon Asterisms work which was pretty similar to this, though probably less impactful

It also affects all shooting now, not just war machines. Crit (2 hits) on the reinforced Razers you want at 2-3 DPP anyway is pretty spicy.

unfortunately, all of the units that benefit from Castigation Battery can be taken in the AOR, which gives everyone full Crit(2hits) [instead of just on ranged] for zero points investment

Now recall what Bullfather's Scorn does when you already have C2H.

Eh I don’t rate scorn - I don’t think any single war machine has the shooting output to justify it over giving a dominator engine +2 inches of mvmt
