The next WARSURGE update is now live, providing new features for the rules and app. If your device does not download it automatically, you can go to the app store and update it manually. Highlights of this update include Deflect, Ward and Parry stats on Weapons (to represent shields and defensive Weapons), the data backup system, along with many new Perk families and Perks. There have been adjustments to many Perks, some bug fixes and some adjustments for faster processing speed of the app. Luckily, we got it through in time for Christmas! Here are some details for the update: WARSURGE v1.2.0 RULES UPDATE
