Appreciate your explanation of v3 ruleset. Interesting how order impacts strategy of gameplay. Thank you for help understanding new turn events.

When you're done with the basics of the game, a video on when you think the units experience level matters, as in when is it better to make a unit inexperienced vs regular or Veteran instead of regular. In v2 taking anything inexperienced was just not recommended unless the unit had some really good special rule, or the army rules gave you an incentive to take them (Japanese army rules, French conscript rule and Soviet free inexperienced Rifle squads for example). V3 in contrast seems to narrow that gap between the experience levels down a few pegs making inexperienced options way more viable. For example, for the French an inexperienced squad with LMG and extra man with pistol is now only 96pts (which for me, unless you have a really good reason to, if you're spending more than 100pts per squad you're starting to waste points), and with the changes to pins means that on average the worst you're hitting with those 14 dice at 24" range is 6s with a pin on the unit, or if they moved that turn with no pins. This is a vast improvement in effectiveness from v2 for example. So, discussing when a unit is better off, or you can afford to make a unit a certain experience level might be a decently good topic to explore.

Def. in the works!

Full strength squads will still be good for re-rolling order tests when pinned.
