"coun" local attribute problem

[voidhammer at yahoo.com]

While working on the Eldar file for 2nd edition I tried using
the "coun" attribute, as I have countless times before, this time for
the Pirates and Exodite Lords. But when I test it in Armybuilder
itself the character units (the champions that is) are
not 'replacing' one of the unit's numbers (i.e. a unit of five given
a champion remains a unit of five, as the champion replaces
a 'normal' member of the unit; instead, it is becoming a unit of 6, 5
normals plus the champion). What I don't understand is why coun is
not working. I've tried everything I could think of, and previous
units that it worked for I replicated the command process. Is there
something I'm missing here, or what? Please help as this is a tad
annoying (problems you can't track down always are). Thanks.

The "coun" option doesn't decrease the number of models in the unit; all
it does is decrease the maximum number of models. If you want to reduce
the number of models in the unit, check out the "modl" option attribute.

Kewl, that worked. Okay, prepare for a 2nd edition upload of new
stuff (Eldar and Harlequins) to the ab-files group. Another few
weeks and I'll have every official codex or rules that GW released
for 2nd edition in armybuilder
