And finally, Corvus Belli have released an update for the ITS Season 8 document, bringing the version count up to 1.4. The new version adds in TAG pilots as specialists (including Remote Presence TAGs), along with the required profiles for the pilots. The new document also includes some changes to Limited Insertion missions, specifically the disallowing of Command Tokens for Strategic Use.

Edit: Originally, we had published that the Hyperion kit would be metal and resin. We have corrected the article to reflect the fact that it is a plastic kit.
