When you import the files, theres an option to delete files not
replaced. If you have defined your own files or copied some
extra .40k files from somewhere else they may cause conflicts just
like this. If you tick the abovementioned tick box, any files not
part of the "official" distribution will be removed (including any
you have made yourself - you have been warned :-)

Just try re-importing the files and make sure the "remove" tickbox
is ticked. You might want to make a copy of your ArmyBuilder\data
directory beforehand.

Cheers,
Russell.

Subject: BFG Files for Tau

Hello,
I noticed that in the BFG files the Tau are
missing. I know that playtest rules have been out for
awhile and that there are updated rules in BFG Monthly
#17, and that the playtest rules are actually more up
to date than the ones in BFG magazine (they re-updated
the playtest rules after BFG #17 was published). Does
anyone know who who is the author for the BFG files
and when the Tau will be added to the files? Even if
it is just the playtest rules it'd be great. I've
been wanting to build a Tau fleet and prefer making
fleet lists using AB to see what I can do as it is
quicker and easier for changes to be made.

Thanks,
Jonathan

Strange. I just created a 2-unit test of this, and I got the expected
behaviour. Could you upload your files somewhere (or email me them off-list
- colen at wolflair dot com) for me to have a look at?

It *appears* that the lcmp happens before the accum. Thus, any accumulated
stat isn't counted.
