Since the release of the Marvel Universe Miniatures Game, Knight Models have taken on board all of the already large communities comments.
With this in mind, the new Errata / FAQ makes a few small alterations to the core rule and clarifies others.
For ease of taking these changes around with you we have a plain B+W copy downloadable HERE
These changes will only be needed for the first wave of printed rule books.
They are included in the Free PDF v2 Rulebook available HERE
If you have any questions of comments, post them below or check out the official MU group on Facebook HERE
Please share this around to every group, club, page or forum you know of with an interest in the game.
