Two (simple?) Questions

I need to do two things with an augmentation file. Can you please
help me with the exact format?

1. I need to take Beastmen, and change their composition rules. I
know I need to use xbrk: but I can't figure out the format. The
current composition rule is Lord@?,Ret@?,Ally@0-25 I need to change
Ally to be 0, and add Cstm@0-25 I would also like to make this
change effective only with mode=pgc. What is the correct format?

2. I need to *add* an option to an already existing unit (i.e. the
unit was defined in beastmen.wfb). How in the world do I do this?
show: doesn't work because the option has to exist and be hidden for
it to apply. I *do not* want to change the beastmen.wfb file if
there is any way whatsoever to avoid it, no matter how time-consuming
or complex it might be.

HELP!

Debbie

xbrk:"Haddock Assault"="Lord@?,Ret@?,Ally@0-0,Cstm@0-25"-mode=pgc

What exactly is Cstm for?

Link it. Use the 'Link' tab at the far-right of ABC to do this, you have
to specify the unit name and the option name.

This saves fine, but when I go into Army Builder and create an army list,
then check the Composition report, it still says Ally (0-25%), and I do make
sure I choose the right mode. Is there somewhere else I need to choose the
scenario (Haddock Assault in your example)?

>What exactly is Cstm for?

I've created my own composition group, which I call Beasts of War. Then I
will use gmap:Cstm=BeastsWar-BoW so the person created the army list won't
see Cstm, they'll see BeastsWar

OK, now I feel really silly - never even looked at that tab. Thanks.

You also need to define the mode like:

mode:pgc="Haddock Assault"-rules="Haddock Assault"

Does that help?
