An accumulated stat? It'd be fiddly to do, but it would work.

Every ship would have a stat which held the cost of the ship (called, for
example, Cost), you'd have to enter the cost there yourself. All the
options that modified the cost would also modify this stat, e.g. when you
were choosing Reserves they would multiply the ship cost by X% and the Cost
stat by X%. Then, the 'Make Reserves' option would add the final value of
this stat to another stat (let's call it Reser), which could be accumulated
with the:

accu:"Points in reserve"=Reser

You could then see the points value in reserve in the accumulated stat space.

Well, that's my idea for the day :P

Another little problem with the Conqueror. On the weapon summary on
the printout, the Conqueror Cannon is listed as Ordinance instead of
Heavy. It appears to be correct elsewhere in the Armoured Company
file.
