Types are supposed to be independent of the total count (and I just made
up a quick test, and they are). What I found is that it works correctly
if you leave the coun attribute off the Jetsams. That lets each one be
counted individually.

Thanks for your advice, your last comments regarding my child unit
options
worked quite well. Anyway here is a more detailed explanation:
Flotsam is a parent unit that I have given the local attributes
type:Infantry
type:Flotsam
Jetsam is a child unit of Flotsam and is of variable size and is given
the
local attributes. In AB Jetsam is an option you turn "on" in Flotsam
and
then modify the unit size.
type:Infantry
type:Jetsam
A unit on the table top consists of X models of Flotsam and Y models of
Jetsam. OK, now one restriction is that you can only have 1 Artillery
model
for every 20 Infantry so there is a race special attribute like this:
trat:Infantry@20m:Artillery@1m
That works well. Unfortunately there is a restriction that you can only
have one SuperFlotsam model for every 5 Flotsam models in the army.
I've
tried the following race special attribute:
trat:Flotsam@5m:SuperFlotsam@1m
The problem is, no matter how I use coun: the Jetstam models are counted
as
part of the Flotsam's unit size. The way things work, if there is 15
Flotsam models and 10 Jetsam models AB thinks this is 25 Flotsam models
and
doesn't raise a validation error until you have 5 SuperFlotsams...it
should
compain when you get more than 3.
Thanks again,
John

Subject: Re: Comp rule question.
Got another problem with this now.
Race composition:
HQ:umin=1&umax=1,Cmbt:umin=2&umax=5,Sprt:umax=0,Weap:umin=0&umax=3
I have two units (both are of the Cmbt composition) that add child units via "list:" Both units have the option "baSupt" that has the attribute "allw:Sprt-max+1u" and "hide". The problem is, that "allw:Sprt-max+1u" is applied for each of the child units as well. They do NOT have the option "baSupt". Why is it giving it to them? They have no options that would mirror or take the parent unit options.
Thanks,
Keith

Subject: RE: [AB] Comp rule question.
Just realized - start by not allowing B, and on each unit of A, have a
hidden, auto-selected option that uses acmp to add an allowed unit of B.
I think B will still show up in the available units list as long as it's
mentioned in the composition rules (perhaps umax=0 is the only
composition rule you need).

Subject: [AB] Comp rule question.
Hello, Here's a little back ground info:
There are two comp groups, A and B. Your army must have 2-4 units from
comp A. Your army may have up to one unit from comp B. For each unit
form comp A your can have one unit from any where in the army list.
This could be another unit form comp B.
The question:
How do I get AB to only allow 0-1 unit from comp B and up to three more
units form comp be when a matching number of units are from comp A? I
don't want the user to be able to just select 4 units form comp B with
out having the right amounts of units form comp A.
There is what I am currently using for a comp rule:
HQ:umin=1,Cmbt:umin=2&umax=4,Sprt:umin=0&umax=1,Divl:urelu<=Cmbt
As you can see, it meets the first half of my comp rule but does not
allow for the extra units form comp B due to there being "x" number of
units form comp A.
Hope this makes some since.
Thanks,
Keith
