Combat dice haven't changed one bit. They are still calculated and distributed in the exact same manner as everyone here is accustomed.
I think the change that is causing confusion is when outnumbered. My wolfen engaged with three guards of Alahan will get to use one of his attack die, then all the guards will get to use one attack die, then the exchange starts over. You are also able to attack any model, no longer forced to attack all until your dice run out.

Alright, what I gathered at Gencon; it looks like they have some rules in place as they were demoing the new system/cards. It will be a skirmish game using square bases. Guys at the table said the website should be going active any day now and while they wouldn't confirm it, it was heavily suggested that based on coolmini's success with kickstarters that it would likely see such a launch. No word on metal v. plastic. Starting armies appear to be Griffen and Wolfen. Wolfen models are definitely more expensive with the new rules for balance purposes. To my knowledge there were no official announcements at the con however.

Both wolfen models used in the demo were over 50 points, a fang warrior and a crossbowman.
The Griffins had two conscripts, one templar and a fusilier. To my untrained eye, it seemed the griffin side had more points on it.
It played just like the confrontation I had been playing, only quicker. Like I said initially, I was shocked but especially after I played it, I was onboard and excited for it.

The ability order is the following one: MOV / AIM / INI / Force / ATT / STR / DEF / RES / COU / DIS

As a quick example to make sure I understand this right:

Model A has ATT 5, STR 7 and DEF 4, RES 7
Model B has ATT 3, STR 4 and DEF 1, RES 5

Model A wins initiative
Model B puts 1 die into defense and 1 into attack
Model A puts 2 into attack

Model A strikes and rolls a 3 for a total of 8
Model B defends and roll a 5 for a total of 6

Model A adds the difference between his attack and his opponent's defense, and applies this to his strength, giving him a total of 9
Model B's resilience is then subtracted from that total for a final result of 4

This is referenced against a simple linear chart to determine the severity of the wound incurred

Model B now strikes and rolls a 6. He decides to chain and rolls a further 3, giving him a total of 12 (-x for wound penalties I assume)
Model A has no defense so his total is equal to his DEF stat, so 4

The difference between the two is 8 in Model B's favor. 8 added to Model B's STR is 12
Subtract resilience to arrive at the wound level and you get a final result of a 5

The new Wound Table is just a line : 3 or less, stunned / 4-7, light wound / 8-11, serious wound / 12 - 15, critical wound / 16+, killed outright.
