Army wide options.

[cmpetro at household.com]

I'm looking for a way to select an option and hav it effect the entire army.
The game VOR:The Maelstrom (FASA Corp.) has what's called Force Traits that can
be purchased with special points (Campaign Points) earned by winning games in
campaign play.

Here's an example:...

"Stockpiles (10 CP):
Lack of adequate supplies is the bane of many Neo-Soviet kommanders.  Campaign
forces with the Stockpiles trait receive a much higher-than-normal amount of
certain standard issue supplies, allowing players to purchase equipment at a
lower cost than the standard rules allow.  This trait gives players the option
to purchase Venger rifles for rad squads for only 5 PV each, and rad grenades
cost 3 PV."

I can put an option on each rad squad called Stockpile and get it to work.  But
I'm looking for a way to select it once and have it apply across the entire
army.  I was thinking of a unit called Force Traits, that would have options for
all of the force traits available to an army.  You select it there and set some
sort of flag that you can check for in each unit.  Anyhow that's what I;d like
to do.  Any suggestions anyone?

I don't believe there is a good way to solve this within the current 
version of AB. I'll add this to the todo list and see if I can get it into 
V2.0 (no promises, though).

Thanks, Rob
