Webway Assault was pretty substantially changed from last year to this year. I’ll do some clarifying on the wording for the webway as you can’t actually feed HQ’s into it anymore. It was changed to an objective that can be destroyed in an effort to clarify the problems people had with it last year. (aka, the auto-ignore status the webway received).
Also, from Justin's post baout the highest point unit comment the price of failure was changed to a -1 for having no troops left at the end of the game (whether by unlock due to an HQ or being native to the troop slot in codex but not counting as because of decurion, etc.)
Also, on the webway itself in the mission sheet it states that is an... Ancient Immobile Structure. Clearly not a vehicle.

Aww, my poor T3 Infantry...
At least I have a lot of bodies to get cooked by radiation before I run out!

Awesome that clears up like 99% of what I had my only new question for the above fix is with Pylons and Demon face acting as building do they suffer on the building chart rather than the vehicle chart. aka they are destroyed on a 6 not a 7, so AP can pop it on a 4.
Also this is more my general never happened to me before. On the D-weapon table it says " Vehicle/building and non-vehicle" as the damage column headings HOWEVER in the Stomp table it says "non-vehicle and vehicle" does this mean you can't stomp a building? or is "vehicle" for anything with an Armour value? I just honestly have never gotta into this before as building as much less prevalent than vehicles.
Oh and I realized that some of the missions read "set up as per pitch battle" I think this is just the old "dawn of war" deployment but if there is time might be something worth changing to update to new edition.

I just missed the link to the new version.

about search party, (and maybe other mission that reserves come in differently then normal)
do on going reserves come in the same way? like if a flyer flys off the board, or if something dies and puts a unit into ongoing reserves do then come in the different way or like normal as it only says reserves. But was unsure if that meant ongoing reserves also

Oh also its been brought to my attention that my attention that on mine scenario dangerous intelligence the shockwave is D3 S5 AP- hits NOT D6 S5 AP- hits. It was play tested with the D3 and the balance felt right. my bad there.

Glad I thought to bring this up - playtested it with D6 hits and I think it killed about 35 of my Eldar (3rd of the starting model count) and broke a couple squads.

been working through cleaning up language such as "pitched battle" but much like ants, I seem to keep finding them whenever I think I've found them all.
Search party specifically says that you roll a dice for each time something comes in from reserves under the "converging reserves" special rule. So this would include ongoing reserves with the exception of cult ambush which has a specific table you have to roll on to use it, which has it's own set of restrictions/advantages (especially since the FAQ)

The radiation thing has been thrown around a bit, would you consider replacing it with the rad poisoning rule? Units affected are at -1T. Potentially devestating but it's GW's actuall interpretation of radiation from the skitarii book

I think the wounding/glancing on a 5+ is a good solution. Makes it a blanket affecting ability instead of a strength based.

I have to say I agree, and not just because it would brutalize my army the worst - gives a really huge advantage to something like Battle Company or all Knights who can just park on it with no risk.

....realized as I was working on the missions I never answered one of Jordan's questions about vehicle squadrons:
Vehicle squadrons cannot be used as the lost patrol.
