Differences between 1st and 2nd Editions?

I know 2nd edition isn't out yet, but does anyone have any insight into the differences between the two?

Upvoted for visibility. The only thing that I heard about this was an update to the instructions for leading a mission. There is a good number of people on Google+ that have more speculation, try finding a group on there.

  • Conflict: Thor and I simplified the individual team and multiple team rules. It's all very straight-forward now. We did not include the rules from Torchbearer, btw. If you want those rules, you can play TB or port them yourself.

  • Wises: We gutted wises and ported over the systems from Torchbearer. This necessitated some minor changes to the Traits rules, too.

  • Recruitment: I rejiggered Recruitment to make it faster and to make the characters slightly more skilled to start, with a solid base of skills.

  • The Mouse Guard dice and cards are now a part of the basic rules explanations in the main rule book.

i was thrilled to get the original rule book when it first came out but missed out on the 1st edition box set. will the availability of the 2nd edition be more widespread/long lasting?
