Subject: Mysterious Rhino Capacity Problem?
Hello,
I've stumbled across what looks to be a weird intermittant bug in the
Space Marines: Imperial Fist roster. It happens rarely; I've tried to
characterize it, but *can't* get it to happen on demand... anyways:
While building up Tactical Squads, and placing them in Rhinos AB will
incorrectly generate a validation error, stating that the squad is
too large to fit into the selected transport vehicle. I've seen this
reported with squads of 4 marines + sarge, and squads of 9 marines +
sarge. Initially, I noted the problems with the 10 man squads -- once
the problem occurs with a squad, decreasing the squad size has no
effect on the validation error.
The error seems to occur more often on large groups of Tactical
Squads -- for example, the first three 10 man squads added with
rhinos work fine, the fourth and subsequent suffer the bug. I have
noticed the bug happen on the first squad created, though less
frequently.
I tried to reproduce the defect in other Space Marine rosters, but
haven't been able to.
Hope this helps...
Andy

Subject: [40k] Bikes and 2 CC Weapons
I've just had an email asking where it says that characters on Bikes can't
use two close combat weapons at once. Obviously the Reaver Jetbike states
this, but that's a special case; was there anywhere that specifically says
you can't, except by implication in the White Scars Chapter Approved article?

In fact, no, there is nothing prohibiting this at all. Maybe it is the old
"auto-drive" system back in play
BTW I play Sm's but do not field bikes,
so i'm not stating this for my benefit.

Subject: Items cost being rolled up into parent
All,
I have one final issue to overcome and my datafiles will be complete!
Here is the scenario:
I have Units of "Type=hero" in my army. Only 50% of an Army's
points may be spent on units(models) of "type=hero" so I have
a "tlmt" attribute set on the race to throw a validation message
when the percentage is exceeded.
I have a comp group called "ice witches" that contains units
of "type=hero" as well as units of other types. I want to be able
to select an item "magic crystal" for any unit or model in comp
group "ice witches". The cost of item "magic crystal" SHOULD COUNT
AGAINST the "ice witch" comp group, but NOT AGAINST the "tlmt"
on "type=hero"; In other words I want the items cost NOT to be
rolled into the cost of the parent unit for purposes of this
specific validation, while not affectings its being processed as
part of the "ice witch" comp group.
I have looked at the "comp" option attribute and have had no success
getting it to work. I have even tried making child units instead of
items to no success. I am sure I am missing something so please
enlighten me.
Thanks for the help.
Woody
