Composition group attributes

[prozinskij at yahoo.com]

Is there an attribute that can be used to set up a ratio between the
number of units in a composition group and the number of points in an
army. Here's the situation. I have eight different vehicals to choose
from in my army. They are all assigned to the vehicle composition
group. I can have one vehicle for each 750 points in the army.

I've found a way of doing it, but it's not so pretty. I found
the 'umax' attribute but that will only work for specific units, so
what I have done is this. I created a zero point unit named Union of
Man Vehicle and assigned it to the Vehicle compostion group. Then I
created eight different options for it, each one being one of the
vehicles you can select. I then put the 'umax:1@500' attribute in the
external attributes of the Union of Man Vehicle unit. Like I said it
works, but it's not pretty.

If there is an attribute that I've overlooked, please let me know.
Thanks.

-Joe

I don't know if you can do this in AB1... AB2 includes more advanced
composition group syntax, though, which should deal with this admirably.

I recommend waiting for V2.0. It's a no-brainer in V2 to accomplish this,
and it will be out this weekend.

Thanks, Rob
