Warmaster Army Selector app

I think it would add to the awesomeness - yes.

I don't think there's much in it but probably! I'd imagine that the standard order will be:

Stats+army merged
Special rules used
Spells

A button that did just this would be perfect for me (I can't see much reason for wanting to see units/rules that aren't in play).

In the interest of 'printing on one side' it might be worth abbreviating the spell text to just the rules.

I can't remember, but does the list element include Break Point? If not, it would be useful.

[Dave]

I don't want to get into setting defaults as there's going to be too many opinions on that. What I could do is have the print order saved with the rest of the army though. That way you could always go back to it.

It doesn't compute break point (it be simple if it weren't for armies like the Brets) but it does give you a unit count which is useful in that regard.

[pw]

Fair enough, dragging or clicking the relevant bits certainly isn't arduous (though I'd expect that the default above is likely to be the one most often used).

[Dave]

Orc, High Elf, Dwarf and Skaven spells/rules added. I also changed the spell/rule layout to two-column justified. You'll need a CSS3 compliant browser to take advantage of it but that should help with printing.

Also I just realized that Skirmishers are being counted as full units. To keep it from doing that I'll have to add the logic and JSON attributes for breakpoint, so I'll probably end up doing it.

Looks awesome, thanks for this!

[Dave]

No problem.

OK, the WM Armies now have spells and special rules. I also added some additional error checking for Skirmishers and the Cauldron of Blood, as well as Unit/Half (for determining army withdrawal) totals where they're needed.

Still to go are Magic Items and Magic Items Used, saving the print preview with the army list, and using clicks instead of drag and drops for the print preview. After those I'll tackle the rules/spells for the trial armies, and the WMA armies.

screaming bell = 0-1 right now, should be 1 (as its a general only mount)

keep up the good work though!!

[Dave]

Are we looking at the same list? It's 0/1 in the latest WM armies? But since you can have only a maximum of 1 in the army the app changes it to 0-1.

1 would require that at least one always be present.

1 would require that at least one always be present.

They are not mandatory... and of the top of my head it is 0-1 per ARMY

[Dave]

Right, that's what's being enforced currently (as per the special rule notes on it). Although WM Armies does have it has -/1.

I can't have it as that in the app though as there needs to be a way to differentiate between -/1 and 0-1 per army, so it shows it as the latter.

[Brutalrage]

thing is, only the general can take it..... perhaps add it to him only as wargear?

only trying to help bro, not make ur life more difficult

[Dave]

I don't think we're using the same list. The WM Armies list has it moving only when it touches a unit. It isn't a general upgrade.

[Spectrar Ghost]

Ohhh... shiny!

I like where you're taking this.
