Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone has plans for, or has already started an army
builder datafile for D&D 3E, Star Wars d20, etc. ?
I am looking for a way to produce characters and keep track of those
characters using AB.
Thanks,
Scott Spieker

It's something you're doing. :O)
In an Imperial Guard army, an infantry Troop Choice is an Infantry
Platoon, not an Infantry squad. Thus, you must have two Platoon
Command Sections - each leading 2-5 Squads - in order to satisfy the
Troop selection requirement.
Hope that helps.

Should not be a problem as the Tau book is out in the UK, at least in the
army box. I have had it for near enough a fortnight.

Subject: Re: Construction Kit
The ABCreator tutorial is a PDF file, so you'll need Adobe Acrobat. The
Manual installed with the Kit is an RTF file, which should be openable by
any word processor. It is also readable by WordPad, which is part of
Windows. The PDF version of the Kit manual on our web-site requires
Acrobat. We have a link to Acrobat on the Downloads page of the web-site.
Note: The RTF version of the manual should be automatically readable
without any problems on a freshly installed Windows system without any
other products on it. If your system doesn't recognize RTF files, then
something has become messed up on your computer due to inappropriate
installations and/or removal of programs. To correct this for the RTF file,
you can select WordPad when Windows asks you which program to use to read
the file AND check the box at the bottom of the dialog to also have Windows
use WordPad to read RTF files.
Hope this helps,
Rob

Subject: Re: Re: AB datafile for WH40K 3rd edition
If you don't want to field so many foot sloggers, you can take one platoon
command section leading 2-5 squads, and an armoured fist squad in a Chimera,
which counts as a troop pick also. Without the armoured fist then, like
Sanquinius X said, you would need 2 command and atleast 4 squads.

Subject: Re: Help? option problem
K heres my next noob question,
Rifle command (A) comes without any armour. Along with any child or leader
types. If you buy bodyarmour for the whole unit for 5 points, It ads a 6
save for the whole unit (Got it to work for the base unit) but the other
child units (Leader and Sgt) somehow miss the upgrade.
Any idea on what option it is.
