Sorry to have backed out of the "What's new in HQ thread", but the rules are currently in a state of flux so Greg doesn't want the playtesters to get too involved in detailing specifics, since they may change more than once between now and the published set.

However, this one is easy - Armor & Weapons aren't treated as AP, but as straight bonuses to Close/Ranged combat. The exact bonus that they will provide is one of those flux areas, so don't ask what the bonus for a Heortling broadsword is :-)
