Very strange. Everything seems to be in order; I'll ask Rob about it.

Not a simple way, no. It'd be easy enough to knock something up,
though...

<clickety click>

I've added a file to the Vault:

http://www.egroups.com/docvault/armybuilder/

It's called 'berzerkerjump.40k'. Copy it into your /armybuilder/data/
directory, and you should be able to create the unit you desire.

Make sure, when you're importing new files, NOT do delete any that
aren't replaced - if you do, you'll lose this file.

I'll give this due consideration for the next release. I'm very hesitant to
add this, though. Most AB users are not "power users", and this extra
safety is really helpful to them. Most non-power-users like to fiddle with
settings to experiment. Allowing them to turn this off might result in a
bunch of support headaches on my end. :-( As a power-user, though, I can
totally understand your desire for having the confirmation removed. I'll
think it over for the next release.

Thanks, Rob

<x-flowed>The main reason for this not being a preserved state is that users can
switch between game systems. When this occurs, the dynamic settings like
"Show Special Characters" change. This makes is awkward and difficult to
keep track of these settings between multiple runs of the product. I'll add
this to the todo list, but it is not going to be a high priority, since
it's a fair chunk of work to track it properly across game systems and it's
only a minor nuisance to a small number of users.

Thanks, Rob

Even if you don't remove the confirmation during roster save/print for
validation failures, just being able to turn it off when removing units
from a roster in progress will be a big help when trying to quickly pop
units in and out during a rushed army design.
