Subject: Re: Has umax changed?

Thanks!
This was driving me up the wall. I knew it had worked...and I guess it
still does.

Shouldn't this be noted somewhere for users? Basically, I can now
falsify my validation by setting the roster size to some number
greater than my true points spent but less than infinity. I know alot
of people blindly trust the validation summary that prints on a roster
sheet and while someone knowledgeable of this "feature" might catch
this, others won't. There aren't any beardy players out there are there?

Thanks,
Hugo

Well, it kinda IS noted in the ArmyBldr.rtf doc... Under "Creating
an Army Roster" it refers to the benefits of choosing a fixed point
size roster (as opposed to "unlimited" points), one of which is
appropriate validation for the roster size you have chosen. If you
choose the wrong roster size you're on your own as far as validation
goes!

Cheers,
Russell

Subject: Making rang: work right?

How do I get the rang: attributes to work? I've got a child unit that has 6 models in it. Up to 3 of those can have a weapon upgrade. I want AB to automatically remove one of the base weapons each time I add an upgraded one. To add to the problem, I can increase the unit size to 12 models and then up to six can have the upgrade. Any help would be great as I have a lot of units that do the same thing.

Thanks,

Keith
