Hello there, I've got a couple of questions, and some minor concerns. First, the questions;

In the very rare corner case that I have a unit with Regenerate and 1 wound, what happens if I roll failing doubles? Does the healing from Regenerate happen first, leaving the unit merely unruly, or does the unruly go first, causing the unit to get knocked out? In my mind I've already ruled it as the former since it makes Regenerate feel more viable in my mind, but it's good to know what you think/intend.

Edges with (X) don't seem to have an explanation to them, though I've mostly managed to infer that it means you can buy the edge multiple times, without adding to the number of edges your unit has, upping the X in the ability each time. I was wondering if that's the case?

Could one unit conceal another unit? As I've read it, only terrain can conceal units, which is probably for the best, but I had the random idea to make a minion with big, and then a boss with Shadowy, using the minion as a meatshield. In the case that units can conceal other units, is it possible to "shoot through" friendly units, effectively ignoring them as terrain?

EDIT: Apologies about all the edits, keep seeing small typos and the like, and now I've got this whole extra question. If I put Zealot on my boss, as they also have leader, will Zealot then always be active for them, as they are in their own line of sight at 0 inches? If zealot is not allowed to be put on a unit with starting Leader edge, what happens if my boss is out of action and Leader goes to my underboss who had Zealot?

And now for the concerns; While I love the system for unit creation and its various potentials, I've already been cooking up an Outcast faction, I've noticed that a stat upgrade and an edge costs the same, doubly so with Outcasts. Any edge that just brings a -1 to a certain roll unconditionally, like brute, just becomes a more flavourful stat upgrade as the odds remain the same, and any edge that brings -1 to rolls conditionally, from Sniper to mighty to bloody rage to any of the Node edges for fae, seem like a straight downgrade to me. I may be wrong on the math of course and there is a difference between having -1 to a roll and having a bigger success threshold, but I don't see it.

I want to add here that I do adore this game, it's got a fun, engaging theme, I've already spent hours just pouring over it and thinking of potential faction builds. As someone who's always wanted to get into Skirmish games and wargames, but haven't had the brainpower to comprehend the complex rules of something like warhammer nor the wallet to sustain such an expensive hobby, this game has been immensely easy to understand completely, and the sheer amount of customization is a joy. You've made a great game already, and I'm truly excited for expansions and updates.

Thanks for the feedback, GGFreak. You raised very relevant questions. I'm working on an update and should release it soon. I hope it answers several of these questions.
