There's an error with the Shwer Platoon, they can't have the extra radioman upgrade.

I fixed this with revision 6, about 11 days ago.  I don't remove it from the list, but instead flag it as an illegal choice.

 A'h, when I emailed it, sorry, as I know they don't have that option I don't click it.  Cheers

Are you going to be including SSU platoons?

 Late to the party on this one, but this is incredible.  Thanks a million.

I think Maine said something earlier about needing someone to funnel the information to him, or provide a copy of the book. Unfortunately, I think it'll have to be the latter, as the Commissars will make all kinds of hiccups for this which will require rules for adding them to squads along with heroes, as well as allowing them to join to identical squads together. I'd buy him one, but I'm paycheck to paycheck right now. 

Brilliant work Maine!!

Many Thanks,

Allan

I'm working with Maine to get him the info. I don't want to speak for him but he will be getting the info he needs very soon. He'll get the book he needs. ;)

Hi all!

Yes, I'm waiting to get the book, thanks to a generous contribution from Major Malfunction.  Unfortunately, all my gaming funds are tied up in other things (including being funneled to vet bills for my puppy's neck injury), and I'm not doing SSU personally so I can't justify buying the book myself.  I get no financial benefit from the Force Builder (quite the opposite; I'll be paying $240 in a couple months to renew my hosting for 2 years; I'd say the Force Builder now accounts for 90% of my traffic!).

Once I get the book, I'll work on doing the updates as quickly as possible.

Regarding joining squads - is that a Deployment option, or a list construction thing?  I explicitly don't include anything in the Force Builder that is a decision you make at deployment.

Maine said:

It's a Deployment option, as is joining the squad with the Commissar. No need to account for it in the builder.

Major Malfunction said:

Yeah, I wasn't thinking that through when I posted that part earlier. They will have to be a choice though in both a command squad role, individual models, and possibly a regular squad choice (I'm in bed typing on my iPad and the book is in my gaming bag in another room), but I'm not sure on the last. 

Thanks Maine & Major Malfunction. Maine, once October rolls around, I should be in a position to hook you up with the Hades book. Let me know (had to deal with some major car and appliance repairs the last two months. If I hadn't prepaid my FLGS months ago for my Zverograd book, I wouldn't have had mine either.

No worries… it's not a contest. :)

Maine, the book is in the air. USPS says three days, so you should see it before the end of the week.

I have the book now, and hope to work on adding SSU tonight.

I can't wait! I love your program it makes list building so much easier!

I agree with Denied. Your program is just about perfect, except for how much time I kill at work making lists. 

One suggestion, a reset/clear all selections button would be a nice addition. If you have a couple of full platoons and a few heroes, clearing them all to start a new list takes a few too many clicks for my taste. A one click, reset to default would be nice.
