So I thought I understood this, and an argument with a bunch of new players led me to question:

Two models are in a face to face where the active player's model (Model A) is shooting a burst three and the reacting player's model (Model B) is using ARO to fire back a single shot.

1.) What happens when Model B hits, and scores higher than all of Model A's rolls. Does Model B hit Model A, and all of Model A's shots are canceled (because they were all lower). The rules in N3 really do seem to imply that an ARO can only cancel a single attack, not every attack with a lower roll (which was not how I read 2nd edition).

2.) What happens when Model A hits with two shots (both higher than Model B's roll)? Does Model A simply win the Face to Face and a single ARM roll is required for Model B? Or are 2 ARM rolls now required, one for each successful shot?

The rules in N3 seem to explain a lot, but answer neither of these questions. :(

1) Model B cancels ALL shots model A shot. Only the winning model's winning shots hit. This is covered on page 8 under label "Face to Face roll" for reference.

2) Model B is hit twice and takes appropriate save(s) per shot and after the order is done makes a guts roll if still capable of doing so. Please note that some ammunition provides BTS saves, several ARM saves or combinations there of. (BS attack results, page 34)

One more quesiton:

An extreme impetuous character has a list of legal combinations of skills on p. 47. They cannot combine Jump with any other skill.
Normally this is because Jump takes an Entire Order.

However if the extreme impetuous model has Super-Jump (like the werewolves), Jump becomes a short skill.

Are these characters still restricted to the list of skill combinations on p. 47?

It becomes a short MOVE skill, so unless I am mistaken it is now treated as a MOVE + something on the table.
