----------SNIP--------------------
I've been swamped with getting problems addressed, bugs fixed, and V2.0b
out
Thanks, Rob
----------SNIP--------------------
Damn, Is that dedication or what? I do not know of any other software vendor
Whom does so much. Let alone not charge for it. When was the last time MS
released a software patch that fixed things with out breaking anything?
Keep up the good work Rob. I'll keep buying it.

Subject: Beta-III soon for release
Hello there!
Beta-III pattern of the 40k files is soon to be released, and I think
I've fixed all reported bugs so far. If you've asked for new "features"
and they're not on here, I still have them, I was just fixing bugs
first. Unfortunately, due to staff incompetence on my part, I lost 3
emails to this list that were bugs I meant to fix.
If you submitted a bug report recently (as in, within the last month)
and it's not mentioned in the following, could you let me know? Ta.
And to forestall any questions, Beta-III will be released as soon as
Army Builder 2.0b comes out, which will hopefully be soon, as some of
the things in it don't work properly except under AB2.0b. Sorry
BETA-III PATTERN CHANGES
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
All armies:
Finally! Vehicles now complain if you put too many people in them! A
miracle! A miracle! It's not perfect, mind - it doesn't check to see if,
for example, a Space Wolf leader can fit into a Rhino if he has
Fenrisian Wolves with him.
Imperial armies now get Assassins again.
Campaign mode added again! Hooray!
Transport Vehicles now appear at the very end of the options menu, and
as the very bottom item on unit lists.
Space Marines:
Terminator Sergeants now get free Power Weapons and Storm Bolters.
Attack Bikes now get Blind Grenades for 2 points, rather than 4.
All Apothecaries, Techmarines, etc. should now be able to get their
special items, rather than just plain Space Marine ones.
All Bike Squads should now have a Toughness of 4/5, rather than just 5.
Tightened up the code so that squads with Terminators in them - for
example, Command Squads with a Force Commander in Terminator Armour -
are no longer offered Rhinos.
Changed the priority of the Command Squad, it now appears later on in
the option list.
Chaplains now lose their Crozius when they select two Lightning Claws.
Terminator Armour now gives you a 5+ Invulnerable Save, as per this
month's White Dwarf.
Harlequins:
Costs for Fusion Pistols and Plasma Pistols in squads are now being
applied correctly.
Other armies can now take Harlequins as allies, as per the rule that I
missed but Daniel Rothman spotted and altered the file for. Good show!
Ulthwe:
Stopped Warlocks giving an incorrect "Not enough Farseers" message.
Made ulthwe totally exempt from the 1 Farseer : 5 Warlocks rule.
Kult of Speed:
Taking a Warbike Outrider Nob no longer adds an extra HQ choice.
Deth Koptas now have the correct save.
You can now only take 1 Deth Kopta Mek.
Space Wolves:
Finally added the Othr composition group, so the Wolves can take the
Emperor's Champion.
Rune Priests can no longer take Fenrisian Wolves.
Orks:
Added Boarboyz and Weirdboyz from the 40k rulebook. You can see them by
choosing "Show Black Codex" from the Settings menu. Note that the
Boarboyz have an 'advanced Nob', i.e. he obeys the new rules for Wargear
etc. rather than the old ones. Also note that taking 'Eavy Armour gives
him a 2+ save; I'm not sure if this is right or not. Talk amongst
yourselves.
All warbikes now have 18" range Big Shootas and their saving through
specified as "6+/5(U)+".
The Warboss, when he takes a Bodyguard, loses his "mount in Trukk"
option - use the bodyguard's instead. Sorry about that, but it was
necessary to nail in the improved vehicle handling.
Looted Vehicles can now take more than one Searchlight (i.e. if you have
more than one vehicle).
Necrons:
Corrected Scarab's save to 3+.
Biel-Tann Eldar:
Striking Scorpion Exarches in the Court of the Young King can no longer
take the Stealth exarch power.
Blood Angels:
Corrected Mephiston's Toughness to 5.
Dark Eldar:
Corrected one of the error messages.
Added the Vehicle Upgrades from the most recent White Dwarf.
Moved the Warp Beasts to the 'Othr' composition group.
Corrected the Incubi's stat line.
White Scars:
Implemented a basic rule to make sure that the number of units needing
transport is less than or equal to the number of transport vehicles.
Imperial Guard:
The PDF and Steel Legion now have access to various Catachan stuff.
Instead of being able to select Sentinels as a child of a command
section, you now just add them as normal and choose the "Command
Section" option.
Dark Angels:
Taking a Command Squad no longer prevents you from wearing Terminator
Armour.
COMING SOON!
