Yeah, but it only works on AB2.2. I have 3.x installed.

I think the only problem with the 3.X files is that they will only work with the latest version of AB as Robert like the new features and doesn't seem that interested in making them backwardsly compatible.

Correct, if you havent done it you will need to upgrade/renew your license from 3.1 to 3.2.

While I am a fan of army builder and have supported both version 2.2 and 3.1 with license purchase, I will likely not continue to support them. Version 2.2 has a strong support chain and is updated much more frequently than 3.1/3.2. Even though I cannot automatically download updates through the program because of license expiry, I know where to get them and am happy doing so.

My only beef with 2.2 is the format, but it still prints the list well. Really, the only reason to get 3.2 is to use Robert's slow updates and iPhone PDFing. If the policy for licenses changes to something more realistic, like a permanent license of the current version, I may be more inclined to pay the fees. But, AB is only in version 3.2 now... that would be a lot of cash if you kept paying your annual license all this time.

I payed for one license of ab in ... oh.... 2005 or so, and I payed for another license a few months ago to upgrade to 3.2. Like you, I downloaded the data files manually in the intervening non-licensed time. I don't intend to keep the license 100% up to date, but paying for two licenses in 5 years is not unreasonable considering how much I use the software.

I also started another thread on the update in "off topic" (don't ask why I switched forums.... I dunno) that has some fixes listed.

I just noticed the AB files say the storm banner is One use only and nothing about warpstone tokens being one use....

As far as I know there is no official word either way with these 2 issues. I will continue to play RAW untill a FAQ comes out. Unless somone can say why he did it like this.

As well as the doom rocket being listed as a magic wepon and not an item. Does this prevent us from the tactic of skitterleaping and fireing it?

Actually in the French and German army books the Storm Banner is one use only. The tokens however are still written as being useable multiple times.

Why would it prevent you from skitterleaping and then firing? As it's rules dont state that it is move or fire you are 100% allowed to do this.

Do you think, that every time a Plague Monk pees, he takes a S2 hit?

add spanish version to that list. we still don't know if the english book lacks the owrding or if the other have it by mistake, it could be translators adding "one us only" without it actually having to be there. still, multiple use stormbanner seems quite cheesy and overpowered for a 50 pts banner
It would be ugly to watch people poking sticks at a caged rat. It is uglier still to watch rats poking sticks at a caged person.

No magic armor for any character? Kind of a problem. I've posted the errors I found to the Wolflair forums.

I also noticed that the items dont seem to exclude any characters...

IE My plague preist can take warpstone tokens ect...

At my store they wonder about this as well, as it seems odd they cant use them and arnt sure if its just another stupid flavor text mixed in with rules... seems to happen a fair bit in this book.


Also if you take Lord Skrolk you dont have the option to take plague monks as a core choice... A Major issue as this would be the ONLY reason I would take him.
