Subject: RE: Upgrading Data Files

Hi, I sent the message below about a week ago. I never got a response so I
wasn't sure if it got through.
Thanks,
Nils

Maybe I'm missing it, but is there a way to avoid having to manually
recreate all your army rosters each time a new data file comes out? Can you
save the rosters in text or XML & then copy them back in? I primarily use
AB for Mordheim & maintain about 10 rosters. I now have rosters that I
haven't kept up to date (recreating them with each new data file) & their
old enough that I can't find the data files that allow them to be loaded
without an error.
Thanks,
Nils

I thought I saw someone answer...

No, you will have to re-create the file. I recommend making txt/html backups
before updating the datafiles.

Sometime you won't have to worry about making new rosters, it depends on if
the files directly relating to the units you chose in your army are affected
by the changes.

Subject: RE: RE: Upgrading Data Files

Thanks, I must have missed it. So I've got this Mordheim Beastmen gang that
I can't seem to find the proper level of data files for. I think I tried
all the v3.8+ data files & it said the gang was build with an earlier
version. I tried the v3.5 files & it says it was built with a later
version. Can I find v3.6-7 somewhere?

Also, I'm not sure if this is an error, but I noticed in v3.83, that my
Middenheim Wolf Companion can be a Berserker. I figured Wolves would
already be kind of crazy.

Subject: Gear Krieg Files

Hello All:

At this year's GenCon, I saw a demo of the Gear Krieg AB file at Lone
Wolf's booth. I was curious when these were going to be released?

Later,
Mark A. Siefert

Subject: Deathwatch Q for 40k Files

Question for the masses....

An individual in a normal SM force given Deathwatch tag is able to
pick from his normal armory- ie: he does not have to have a bolter as
per the DW Article in WD258.

Unfortunately, the current AB File for 40k does not allow this. Am
I reading the article right and the file wrong or is it vice versa?

Jes' curious.... as I just painted up a Plasmapistol/PFist
Deathwatch guy and I'd hate to have to pull the Plasma Pistol off...

-John T.

On the contrary, the article says, "Deathwatch members must be armed with a
bolter or a combi-weapon with a bolter component."

This is for the non-killteam deathwatch members.

hey i fully intend to... if having a tank with the over all armour stats of
15 15 15 is cheaper than the humble 13 11 11 than i will have no quarrels
ruthelessly exploiting it.
