@recon63 there are some changes but not huge ones.
Rolling for initiative is different. You now roll all your dice and then assign them to who you want. Then use the initiative modifiers.

Over watch and suppression seem to be the same. Bounding and snap to cover seem to be gone.

But that’s just a quick look. I haven’t tried them in a game yet. My general impression is it mostly tightened up the rules.

Edit: Melee is different. Everyone now has a melee weapon, it’s just that some people are better than others. Melee is also more streamlined and uses an opposed dice roll off.
