Big thanks to Michael C Carter and his blog "Until Somebody Loses an Eye" for the compilation of changes to the game in the big red book. You can check it out at https://blog.untilsomebodylosesaneye.net/2022/10/one-book-to-rule-them-all.html?m=1
Do check out https://hammerhouse.com.sg/ if you're from the Asia-Pacific region as they stock a lot of hobby games and products.
*Update* There was a commonly mistaken change that Kingdoms of Men's Beast Cavalry can take both flying and TCVic options and it was repeated in our podcast. That is not true. Sorry for any confusion caused.
