Hello!
My fleet is getting large enough where I need to use Army Builder. I can't find where to choose the "Widowmaker" option. It's the option that give Cobras an additional +1 leadership (in certain circumstances) in lieu of weapon batteries. Thank you for your time.

I take it that the problem is in the data files and not some amateurish mistake on my part.

Where did you find that in the rules? I don't think I've ever read it.

There's a note on Page 12 of the Ships of the Gothic Sector (http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_CustomProductCatalog/m1280005_BFG_Ships_of_the_Gothic_Sector.pdf) pdf on Games Workshop's Battlefleet Gothic Resources (http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/content/article.jsp?catId=cat480005a&categoryId=1100007&section=&aId=4300022) section that reads...

The 24th Destroyer Squadron (Widowmakers) carried experimental long-range detection gear. This doubles the Leadership test bonus for enemy contacts (ie, enemy on special orders) from +1 to +2 but removes the destroyer's weapons batteries.

This may be part of the advanced rules, or from an additional Fleet book of some description. I haven't played BFG before, or used the list in Army Builder, but I hope that helps.
