Subject: Infinite loop warning

I am working on a data file and army builder reports a serious error that
resulted in an infinite loop. The problem is, I don't think the file has an
infinite loop. Here is what I'm doing:

I have a unit called Platoon with two options HQ with two AUTO option links
for HQ and SQUAD.

Since HQ works fine, we can ignore that I think.

Anyway, the SQUAD option adds a size 3:3 unit called 'squad'

Now squad has four auto option links for:
Squad Leader (adds apropriate child unit to squad size 1:1)
Asst Squad Leader (adds a apropriate child unit to squad size 1:1)
Machine Gunner (adds a apropriate child unit to squad size 1:1)
Riflemen (adds a child unit to squad size 7:7)

These last child units have no options.

Does anyone know which is happening or if it possible to increase Army
Builder's recursion depth or something?

Subject: Lord of the Rings Shadow & Flame Supplement


I have taken over maintenance of the AB files for the GW Lord of the Rings
games from Steven Cox. I have nearly completed incorporating the new
supplement but GW have just thrown in a revised rule for Elven Blades.

I need a little help with a couple of points. Firstly how do I get the files
distributed? I believe that they need uploading to the ABFiles group.

Secondly there is a goblin drum which comprises a drum and two drummers. It
compares closely to a war machine with crew. I have made the drum a unit and
it takes an option for drummers which in turn calls a unit of two goblins.
This gives me three models. However the drum does not count towards the
total model count for the force. How can I make the drum not be counted?

Terry

Hi Terry,

One way round this would be to create the unit based on the drummers rather
than the drum. They could have the usual 2:2 size statistic, with the drum
being treated as an item rather than a child unit (or model).

This means that the drum is present on the roster, and has its rules
available, but does not count as a character model.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Simon Day
