Rob,

Thanks for the clarification on the clix level outputs, and the
licensing pricing, both good explanations. It's my understanding the
MechWarrior units and forces may have custom notes. These could then
be output on a force roster. Is my understanding correct? I'm still
playing around with CV, but finding it very useful. Well worth the
thirty bones. Look for my license order soon. - Aron
