Issue with adding heavy wapon teams to squads
- Thread starter Sanfio
- Start date
I headed over to ab40k.org and downloaded the latest version manually (AB40k5 1,03b). I made sure to delete the old one I had beforehand.
Sadly, I still have the problem...
If I did this incorrect, please give detailed information on how I should proceed to correct it.
Thanks

Hi Spartan,
I can duplicate the same issue you are seeing. My steps for reproduction are:
New IG army,
Add infantry platoon, (shows as 130 points)
Tick "add heavy weapons team" (listed as 5 points. Actually reduces the total points to 125)
The heavy weapons team should be outfitted by default with a mortar and shouldn't require additional weapon selection, but even so, adding an autocannon only boosts the point total back up to the original 130, as opposed to the 145 that it actually should be (i think thats right. I don't have my Codex in front of me right now).
I have AB version 3.2a, warhammer 40k 5th ed files version 1.3.
I took a look at the entry in ig5UniDatV2.dat, which APPEARS to be the right IG file (there are about 4 in there, most appear to be old codex for some reason), and for the entry ig5E_HWTeA under the infantry squad upgrades, there is a Text costs of 5+, but there is no actual cost added. I believe what is happening here is that since the squad is 10 people @ 50 pts, its technically 5 pts/guy. This is removing one guy and turning another guy into a "heavy weapons team", so you're getting 5 points back and it is costing you nothing.

In Armybuilder, if you select "Visit Data File Author's Website" in the help menu, it will take you to ab40k.org, which is where the team that maintains the 40k files coordinates their efforts. Among the bug reports there, I see one labeled "Points for heavy weapons teams off by 10 points" listed with a status of "Fixed on Next Release"
