First off, I think it's a great idea having this discussion board
available for chatting about Army Builder. I'm from www.dakkadakka.com and we discuss it quite a bit on our own discussion board, but it's nice to hear from other users of Army Builder who do not play Warhammer 40,000. Anyway, here's my question... Has anyone else had problems with the way AB calculates the army break point? If this number is supposed to represent an army being reduced to 25% of its original number of models, I've found that most of the time this number is incorrect.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ A shopper’s dream come true!

Actually, wouldn't that fall under the datafiles to calculate the break
point rather than AB? Gene > Has anyone else had problems with the way AB calculates the army break > point?

Point moot The latest datafiles have gone back to the old 'number of models in army' counter, rather than 'break point'.

If this is where you would like corrections posted
I'll contribute: The 40K chaos list has stormbolters listed on the rhino where it should be combibolters. significant difference. I neglected to check others units and sources for the same minor error. The space marine vet sergeant is listed as 26 points where it should be 13. I know the codex is screwy and there is lots of debate on this one. But if you follow the pattern of ALL the other squads in all the other codexes it follows that you buy the squad with a sergeant at the normal points cost and then upgrade it, by a set points cost, to a vet. I believe army builder assigns the 26 on top of the 13 already paid for the sergeant making the 4+ save scout sergeant the most highly price vet in the whole bloody game at a whopping 39 points. Also the option for having the scout sergeant equipped with a sniper rifle is not available where it should be. The entry states that ANY model in the squad may exchange their weapons for a sniper rifle.

As far as I can see, the Scout Veteran Sergeant costs 26 points, not 39. Are you sure you didn't give him an extra 13 points of equipment, or something? >Also the option for having the scout sergeant equipped >with a sniper rifle is not available where it should >be. The entry states that ANY model in the squad may >exchange their weapons for a sniper rifle. Open the Space Marine codex and turn to the page just before the army list with the points costs for Wargear on it. Turn back one page, and look at the bottom right area of the right-hand page. It should be explained there. I can't even remember what it says any more, but it's satisfied everyone else who's asked. -- Colen 'Not Colin' McAlister | License to Skrill Email: demandred@skrill.org | Visit http://www.skrill.org/ today! -----------------------------+------------------------------------ "Dovie'andi se tovya sagain" - Robert Jordan's Wheel Of Time ------------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from this group, email armybuilder-unsubscribe@egroups.com -- Talk to your group with your own voice! -- http://www.egroups.com/VoiceChatPage...rmybuilder&m=1 |
