Associating a Leader with a Troop

[loydb]

I'm trying to create my troops, but I can't figure out how to indicate that a certain leader goes with a particular set of troops. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Loyd

Drag the Troop onto the Leader, or the Leader onto the Troop.

Hope that helps,
Russell.

That's what I thought too, but it doesn't work. It just swaps the places in the roster rather than making one subordinate to another, so it still fails validation.

Thanks

Aha. I'm an idiot. You can't do it from the bottom roster window, has to be from top to bottom.

Thanks
Loyd

You SHOULD be able to do it from the bottom window... Checking... Yep, works for me here.
Can you show a screenshot of what your AB window looks like (with a few units listed)? Maybe I can then explain why it's not working?

The troops, etc., were added by double-clicking on the top roster. When I drag them and try to drop them into one another, they just swap places.

Thanks,

Are you dragging the "Troop" (marked in Red as invalid in your screenshot - and with the stick figure on the same line)? If so, that will cause the behaviour you describe. You need to drag the "model" (the second level in the hierarchy - "Margara" as an example) from one "Troop" to the other.

Hope that helps,
Russell.

I was dragging the troop, not the model. Thanks!
