This was originally implemented way back when Army Builder 1.2 (or
thereabouts) had just come out. Someone decided to take the currently
available Warhammer data files, change the author information so that they
got the credit, and started distributing them. Needless to say, this was a
Bad Thing, and something that had to be fixed. There's always one person
who spoils it for the rest of us...

Either implement the weapons as options, as Mr Green suggested, or you
could use the same strategy I described in the recent "epic 2nd edition"
thread.

Could you use 'glob', to give the option to every unit without having to
manually assign it to each one?
