AB datafile for WH40K 3rd edition

[whiteinblackii at yahoo.c]

hi,

In an all infantry imperial guard army the datafile seems to require that I
take a compulsory "troops" unit that is non infantry(ie a unit that does not
require a command platoon selection).
not taking a unit of this nature gives the error "Validation: Composition
group 'troops' does not satisfy requirements (>=2unit <=6unit).
as far as i can tell the roster i'm making satifies all requirements laid
out in the codex.summarised here,

1 command HQ
1 platoon command section
3 infantry units attached to platoon command section.

I'm using AB version 2.2c

not a member of the mailing list.

is this something i'm doing wrong or a genuine bug?

all help appreciated.

LD.

You must take 1 platoon command section and 2-5 infantry platoons for 1
troop choice. To make your all-infantry list legal, you must make it like
this:

1 command HQ
1 Platoon command section w/2 infantry platoons
1 Platoon command section w/2 infantry platoons

It's something you're doing. :O)

In an Imperial Guard army, an infantry Troop Choice is an Infantry
Platoon, not an Infantry squad. Thus, you must have two Platoon
Command Sections - each leading 2-5 Squads - in order to satisfy the
Troop selection requirement.

Hope that helps.

If you don't want to field so many foot sloggers, you can take one platoon
command section leading 2-5 squads, and an armoured fist squad in a Chimera,
which counts as a troop pick also. Without the armoured fist then, like
Sanquinius X said, you would need 2 command and atleast 4 squads.

Indeed it is!

In my consideration of the IGs weird platoon fielding system i forgot all
about the compulsory units for the force organistaion chart.
