Army building program

[Graf Orlok]

I know the very, VERY good Army Builder is out there for the buy.

But for those who don't want to pay for it or those (like me) on a Mac, here is a free, not-too-shabby alternative:

It is a simple program, with no rules whatsoever: it just does the maths and lets you build your army. Unlike AB it does not have rule references, but I find it good enough.

Not all armies have a "datafile" yet, but luckily for us VC do...

Indeed you do, I wrote the VC Datafile, let me know if you find any bugs in it.

Then you did a hell of a job, haven't found any yet.

Nice one mate!

EDIT: oh, I might actually have found one!

In the Vampiric Powers list, all powers are sorted as a "checklist", like magic items. But for some reason Flying Horror doesn't have a box to check like the other ones, but gives you the option to buy as many as you want, for 30pts each (like unit size, for example). Should be an easy fix

Ach, found a couple more maybe...

Corpse Cart is listed as having Ld 3, when it actually has Ld 7.

Skeleton unit is a bit buggy: standard bearer has the option to take the Flag of the Blood Keep (75pts) when their allowance for magic banners is 25pts max; besides, you can only add one trooper per click, instead of being able to write the size of the unit (like for Ghouls and Zombies). The same bug is there for GG and BK too.

Thats some weird ass bugs, I'll have a look some might have crept in due to the new version of BattleScribe.

I've fixed the Flying Horror and Flag of Blood Keep problem, the unit counting problem is not a problem with the actual Skeletons or what ever but a problem with something else in the list. I can't quite find it just now but there will be a unit you add to the list and when you do the other units behave erractically.
