[Bug Reports] Dwarfs

It seems you are unable to give Great Weapons to your Thane with Battle Standard. ( As it say in the dwarf books).

But the RuleBook's Errata say it's possible.

Thanks

the rulebook errata say, that standard bearers from command groups can use other weapons and great weapons, there is no talk from character BSB.
so we must follow the rule that a thane BSB can't take any extra weapon or shield. I was wondering why i could add some.
so please fix it back ;-)

Fixed for 2.49

Psycho stating it being "fixed" actually broke it

Just a simple mix up in thinking the "rulebook" in the first bug report implied the Dwarf book when it actually referred to the BRB
 
I thought it would be fixed, but hasn't.
The armybook says that a "Thane carrying the Battle Standard cannot choose any extra weapon nor can he use a shield" but you can select any of them.
Please fix it, i thought the discussion before made it clear.

Joe, that one was my bad, I read it backwards and you are correct. I have fixed it and will do a mid-month release, well might be first week of April if any other issues with DoC come up.

Thanks for that ;-)

Btw. there is no validation error if you have 2 cannons with the same runeset on each

Corrected for 2.58 release. Had to do with how it was id'd as stone thrower after rune option were taken. Rune could not tell if it was stone thrower

Odd...my laptop copy has RoAccuracy available, but my main PC's doesn't. Far as I know, they're the same version. They both use the Engineering Runes category at least...

Weird, guess just dl 2.57 again or wait until Fri, when I post up 2.58
 
Stone Thrower Misfire chart inaccuracy

This doesn't apply specifically to Dwarfs, though it certainly affects us more than others.

The Stone Thrower misfire chart for results 2-3 state:

"2-3) Disabled!: Cannot shoot this turn or, or next turn."

You forgot to include in there that the stone thrower takes an automatic wound as well. Per the BRB rules on pg 115:

"2-3: Disabled. A freak occurrence disrupts the normal smooth operation of the stone thrower, and one of the crew has been caught in the firing mechanism — the stone thrower suffers a wound, with no armour saves allowed. This problem can only be fixed by partially dismantling the war machine and so the stone thrower therefore cannot fire this turn or in the controlling player's next turn. Either turn the war machine around or place a marker of some kind to indicate this."

I'm currently checking with other Dwarf players on Bugman's to verify that there's no errata pertaining specifically to Dwarfs that would override this, but I'm pretty sure there isn't.

Thanks Ed, Ultra, for fixing our nitpicks so promptly and courteously! As a fellow programmer, I know it's a thankless job, so I thought I'd remedy that for a minute. :) I rely on Army Builder to keep my lists neat and correct and you guys do a great job with it.

Now if you wanted to slip in stats for the new Dwarf book before it comes out, I'd be okay with that...just sayin'.

On behalf of Ultra and myself, thank you very much for your support and words of encouragement.
