I can't seem to post on the ab-files group (help!), so I'll post this
here for now.

Files for the Lord of the Rings game are now available - just pop
over to the ab-files group or hit auto-update in your software.

Any bugs, or improvements (these are my first files!), just let me
know.

Steve

I tried 1 instead of 2 and it gives the same result: +0.

I'll email you the files directly.

Thanks,
Rich

i am not quite sure if this a fault or not but the vehicle design rules
might be flawed.

The armour section has the increases for front side and rear and at the
bottom it has an option total.

Now is this suppose the reduce the price of the vehicle the more armour you
put on??????????? Like its 20pts cheaper to have a total armour value of 50
then having a total of 35.

That sists wrong in my mind but i don't have the rules so hey....

I would suggest you pick up a copy of Codex Chapter Approved with the
VDR rules because the AB files are correct.
