Just a little error I happened across. When you select an Incubi retinue for
an Archon or Drachon, it does not allow you to have an Incubi Master.

How d'you want them? I can't scan 'em for a variety of reasons, but I
do have the thing typed out. (Not by me, though.) I think the best
way would be the summary plus the special rules. Whatever, tell me.
I'll send it.

Subject: Question about Types and Tweaks

This one is probably for Rob, but someone else (Colen?) may know the
answer.

I have a Unit with a heap of options, one of which is "Four Legged"
which has the attribute: type:FourLegs
"Four Legged" belongs to category "Priority".
Another option is called "No Hands" with attribute: utyp:!(FourLegs)
"No Hands" belongs to category "N/A".

This works as expected, I select "Four Legged" and "No Hands"
disappears.

I also have an Item "MRM 20" with Tweaks crt3LA, crt3RA, crt3LT and
crt3RT. The first two tweaks crt3LA and crt3RA have attributes: zutp:!
(FourLegs).

When I add an "MRM 20" to the above unit all four Tweaks are
available regardless of the selection state of the Unit option "Four
Legged". I know the Type is working on the unit, because the "No
Hands" option disappears.

Am I doing something stupid? (In the data files :-)

Russell.

It is great that Version 2.0 is coming out, but how do you upgrade to
V2.0?

Check out www.wolflair.com for all the instructions.
Basically (if you've got the CD version), download abldr20a.exe and
install it over the top of your existing installation.

Subject: Any idea how I could do the following....

Hi,

I am building a set of files for a Napoleonic type game and I'm having a bit of trouble with setting up the artillery units.

Basically:
Each Artillery battery can have between 1 and 3 guns at a fixed cost per gun - not a problem
Each gun can have between 2 and 6 crew - again not a problem
For each gun in the battery (above 1 gun), a fixed cost is incurred - Hmmmmm problem...

So 1 gun = no extra cost, 2 guns = +30 points, 3 guns = +60 points

The way it is currently set up is that the Artillery Battery is a "unit" (number 1:3)
The Gun type is an "option" with a fixed cost.
The Crew are a "unit" (number 2:6) with a fixed cost per person and are linked to the Artillery Battery via an automatic "option" (attribute = unit:crew@var)
The battery cost is also a "unit" (number 0:2) linked to the Artillery Battery via an automatic "option" (attribute = unit:batt@var)

I have managed to get the "battery cost" count to initialize as zero and increase correctly using the internal attributes "ratp:max=2:1", "ratp:max=3:2" and "zero" on the "battery cost" unit.

However, if the number of guns is decreased, the battery cost unit doesn't downsize correctly and won't allow me to set it to zero again.

This is one of the first data files I have put together, so I'm still on a bit of a learning curve ;-)

Any idea how to get round this ?

Cheers,
Simon Day

Subject: RE: Question about Types and Tweaks

The answer is in the manual :-)
Only types assigned via other items are recognised via zutp.

So how do I accomplish what I want?

Russell.
