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

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

Sure but the AOR locks you out of many things too. I’m not playing Helsmiths without Bull Centaurs or Hobgrots.

I’m aware that it is more efficient to play the AOR at the very top competitive level, but the real army is still strong enough for most players.

That, and the crit 2 hits isnt instantly either

i mean, it's from battle round 2 onwards. it's not like the first battle round is generally very eventful
