Anyone able to update lotr system

[jlong05]

Here's another thought(one of which I like, but will take time to fully implement).

In my review of the current files I have noticed that gear is used to modify stat values. While this is good for the models buying that gear, the models that come with it as standard are listed initially with lower stats than their actual correct statline.

What does everyone think about this? Should I list the statline as indicated in the rulebook, or continue as current with statlines being updated when added to your army roster? Mostly this affects the Defense stat.

I prefer your idea to follow the statline from the rulebook.
As sometimes when im creating an army i like to click on the strength,defence,attacks heading to list the values from highest to lowest. And always found it strange that after i dragged the figure into my list the value would change.

Sorry for the delays on these updates. I have been slammed with work and RL issues. I hope to get an opportunity to get these updates done in the next couple weeks and then get a release file out.

Further thought on this and soem digging in teh files has shown me that that due to the current base design, this change will be a very LONG process. I am still interested in this direction, but plan to table it until the other stat and rules fixes are resolved first.

LoTR has definitely changed it's focus based on this last bug report!

Where exactly can i find this data file?
