When I first read HQ II the bit about consequences of defeat and victory were before the section on augments. I remember thinking "Oh yes, no more augments! Consequences of victory do everything they used to." Then I hit the bit about augments and I'm still confused about why they're there.
Sorry, this whole thing is getting a bit stream of consciousness here, excuse me while I back off and think a bit more.
I think this might be a clue - don't roll for Augments where "Nothing happens" doesn't make sense.
HQ2 rules go back to 1 Augment to prevent the "abuse" in HQ1 that could see The Augments being worth More than the base Skill... I suspect there is a happy medium around about 3 augments (only one rolled) which allows you to use more abilities in a contest without encouraging you to use "all" your abilities... (On the other hand if you always use the same augments they should probably be considered part of the base skill)
