Part of the push towards rationalizing the new core rules for Heavy Gear was providing simple and easy to use rules for Infantry that allowed therm to be a part of the game while illustrating how tactically different they are from the Gears that are the focus unit of the game.
The infantry rules revolve around the concept that a squad of infantry is treated as a single model even though it is composed of distinct parts (the infantrymen/women).

This summer's Gen Con mini will be the Northern Headhunter gear holding a CNCS Banner. The miniature will also include a regular Hunter head if you want to model it is as a stock Hunter. Plus the banner has the left hand as part of the pole and we will be including two extra left hands; one holding a vibro blade and one with just a closed fist. Your free to customize the model as you like or even use the banner on another Northern model altogether.

There's a phrase in writing that refers to the editing process and I believe it goes like this: "Kill your darlings". That is a quote from Stephan King and while I doubt that Mr King was thinking in rules terms I know a bit of what he means. You can look up the whole quote if you like but those three words have been a bit of mantra when building the rules.
Time and time again through discussion after discussion each part of the rules has been put through the wringer with the same question every time; "Does keeping (this) or removing it make the game better?".
It's a tricky question because better is subjective. Luckily I wear some different hats and so I have some competing lenses that I view the rules from.
