You are correct that there is no option to designate a unit as a leader. However, using inheritance in V2.0, you can have two separate units - one a leader and one not - with very little extra effort. You can also use "uldr" to manage the relationships between leader and followers.

IT WILL!!! BUT YOU HAVE TO : FOLLOW IT TO A LETTER FOR IT TO WORK!!!! A little while back, I was : browsing through : newsgroups, just like you are now, and came across an article similar to : this that said you could make : thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00! : So I thought," Yeah, right, this must : be a scam", but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. : Anyway, it said that you send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and address : stated in the article. You then place : your own name and address in the bottom of the list at #6, and post the : article in at least 200 newsgroups. : (There are thousands) No catch, that was it. So after thinking it over, and : talking to a few people first, I : thought about trying it. I figured what have I got to lose except 6 stamps : and $6.00, right? Like most of us I : was a little skeptical and a little worried about the legal aspects of it : all. So I checked it out with the U.S. Post : Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is indeed legal! Then I : invested the measly $6.00. Well : GUESS WHAT!!...within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I was : shocked! I figured it would end : soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my first week, I made about : $25.00. By the end of the second : week I had made a total of over $1,000.00! In the third week I had over : $10,000.00 and it's still growing. : This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over $42,000.00 : and it's still coming in rapidly. : It's certainly worth $6.00, and 6 stamps, I have spent more than that on : the lottery!! : Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, why it works....also, : make sure you print a copy of this : article NOW, so you can get the information off of it as you need it. STEP : 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper : and write the following on each piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR : MAILING LIST." Also include your favorite hobbies and interests. Now get : 6 US $1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of paper so the : bill will not be seen through the : envelope to prevent thievery. Next, place one paper in each of the 6 : envelopes and seal them. You should : now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the above : phrase, your name and address, : and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a service by this. THIS IS : ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! Just REMEMBER you need to send out all 6 requests to be on their mailing lists, with your hobbies listed, to fulfill the legal requirement. Mail : the 6 : envelopes to the following addresses: : #1) Ted Donovan III, 6056 Westlake, Taylor, Mich 48180 : #2) Angelo Edwards, P.O. Box 221 17216 Saticoy St. Van Nuys, CA 91406 : #3) J.K. Gong, 621 North Louise Street, Unit #3, Glendale, CA 91206 : #4) GLC, 5910 Armour Lp SE, Olympia, Wa 98513 : #5) Jay Goldman P.O.Box 1264,Postal Station H,Montreal QC,H3G1B6,CA : #6) Matt Dispenza, 9898 Kinglet Dr., Baton Rouge, La 70809 : STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the : other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 : becomes 4, etc...) and add YOUR Name as number 6 on the list. STEP 3: : Change anything you need to, but : try to keep this article as close to original as possible. Now, post your : amended article to at least 200 : newsgroups. (I think there are close to 24,000 groups) All you need is 200, : but remember, the more you : post, the more money you make! ---DIRECTIONS-----HOW TO POST TO : NEWSGROUPS------------ : Step 1) You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own : posting. Simply put your cursor at the : beginning of this letter and drag your cursor to the bottom of this : document, and select 'copy' from the edit : menu. This will copy the entire letter into the computers memory. Step 2) : Open a blank 'notepad' file and : place your cursor at the top of the blank page. From the 'edit' menu select : 'paste'. This will paste a copy of : the letter into notepad so that you can add your name to the list. Step 3) : Save your new notepad file as a .txt : file. If you want to do your postings in different sittings, you'll always : have : this file to go back to. Step 4) Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try : searching for various newsgroups : (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites, discussions.) Step 5) Visit : these message boards and post this : article as a new message by highlighting the text of this letter and : selecting paste from the edit menu. Fill in the : Subject, this will be the header that everyone sees as they scroll through : the list of postings in a particular : group, click the post message button. : You're done with your first one! : Congratulations...THAT'S IT! All you have to do is jump to different : newsgroupes and post away, after you : get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup! : **REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU : WILL MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200** That's it! You will : begin : reciving money from around the world within days! You may eventually wany : to rent a P.O.Box due to the : large amount of mail you will receive. If you wish to stay anonymous, you : can invent a name to use, as long as : the postman will deliver it. **JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE : CORRECT.** : Now the WHY part: Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very : low example). So then I made : $5.00 with my name at #6 on the letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who just : sent me $1.00 make the : MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to : each of the original 5, : that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts : with my name at #4 and only : 5 replies each, I will bring in an additional $125.00! Now, those 125 : persons turn around and post the : MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3 and only receive 5 replies each, I will make : an additional $625.00! : OK, now here is the fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 : letters with my name at #2 : and they each only receive 5 replies, that just made me $3,125.00!!! Those : 3,125 persons will all deliver this : message to 200 newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 5 persons per 200 : newsgroups react I will receive : $15,625,00! With a original investment of only $6.00! AMAZING! When your : name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest posting in the : newsgroups, and send out another $6.00 to : names on the list, putting your name at number 6 again. And start posting : again. The thing to remember is, do : you realize that thousands of people all over the world are joining the : internet and reading these articles : everyday, JUST LIKE YOU are now!! So can you afford $6.00 and see if it : really works?? I think so... : People have said, "what if the plan is played out and no one sends you the : money? So what! What are the : chances of that happening when there are tons of new honest users and new : honest people who are joining : the internet and newsgroups everyday and are willing to give it a try? : Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users, every day, with thousands of : those joining the actual internet. : Think about this! If you gamble your money away in a casino or a race : track, or maybe just the : lottery...WHY? Because we all want more $$$! RIGHT? So we risk our money! : Playing it against the odds! : NEED MONEY? Well if you have any logic and 6$ You will! You think this is a : gamble? maybe! But its not : odds your up against; INSTEAD YOUR OWN INTEGRITY! : You NEED MONEY? Play FAIRLY and HONESTLY, WITH FULL INTEGRITY! And you will : be : making some SERIOUS CASH!!! : $GO FOR IT$ This does work……prove me wrong, if you can J __________________________________________________ ______________________ __________________________________________________ ______________________ Message: 14 Date: Mon, 28 Aug 2000 22:04:00 +0100 From: 'Not Colin' McAlister & The Skrills <demandred@skrill.org> Subject: Re: New Bret List One fine day in the middle of the night, Lo Chan <illbyte@yahoo.com> got up to write: >Does anyone know where I can get a datafile for the Brettonian Army >List?

Am I just completely daft and I missed the documentation about how to edit the .ab files? Is there a specific editor you can pick up for doing such? What kind of documentation can I find on and off line for that kind of info? 2. WH40K - I take a Chaos Lord. Give him a Retinue of Plague Marines. I SHOULD be able to upgrade the entire squad of 5-9 Plague Marines to Aspiring Champions. Army builder let's me upgrade all of them but one. Is there a way around this? Or will it just not let me do it because it can't have a 0 being in one of the stat lines? 3. WH40K - Same unit as mentioned above. 1 Chaos Lord, 6 Plague Marine Aspiring Champions, 1 normal Plague Marine. Everybody is as tooled out as I can make them with 3 - 4 pieces of wargear, as well as a Rhino that's been beefed up. I get an invalidation error that says something about not being able to print because the unit is too big to print out on one page. I was able to fix this by messing with the font sizes for the various parts of the text, but it was really hard to read (and before i get flamed like i did when i posted this on another Mailing List, I dont' normally cheese stuff out, but me and some friends were playing a 10K pt battle, and i needed to come up with the points somewhere.). Anyway, that's all I've got so far. Any help you all could give would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance. - Nate "Come at me puppies!

This is a limit of the old V1.4 data files. To my knowledge, this issue is no more with V2.0 and the newest data files. >3.

Sounds like you could probably benefit a lot by upgrdaing to the new V2.0 release of AB. Full details are on the web-site.
