Composition Group question

[jlmartin at wi.rr.com]

I'm working on a file that has two composition groups for the
purposes of roster validation:

Special (<= 40%) of army size
Normal...which is everything else and has no restrictions

So my file puts the two composition buttons on the left side of the
AB screen and it works fine.

BUT...the Normal group has quite a long list and things don't look
very good.

There are subcategories I could use for Normal (Infantry, Cavalry,
etc.) and ideally I like buttons for the sub groups but they would
have to map back to the two main composition groups for validation.

Is such a thing possible?
TIA

If 'everything else' has no restrictions, could you simply make 'Infantry',
'Cavalry', 'War Machines', 'Transforming Robots' etc groups of their own
and give them each no restrictions?

Part of the problem with working on a file for a long time is the easy
solution escapes you. Doh!

I was worried that units like Paladins are special and also cavalry. I
wanted them listed under Cavalry rather than Special but now think better of
it since it would be more difficult for the user to know what was special
and what isn't

Thanks for the idea!
