Hello

I started using the calculator and I have some problems with the command unit. I can only choose Command type, Grav and Primary attack value. The other options are grey and cannot choose them. Is this normal?

I still dont have my Lulu copy, is on the way. Sad

at work so can't double check, but sounds right. Commanders don't have the range of options that troops do. They are there to look pretty and not fightGrin

I was looking at a list made by someone else and he was able to give the CV8 commander a movement of 60cms, Attack 3/30, Hits 6, and Save 6 all that for 90 points. My calculator says 100 pts.

He was even able to give and HQ CV9 move 40, Hits 4

The move, attacks and hits are all static, so are included with unit by the generator.

So I have to use the book instead of the program to make the changes?

Since his HQ works out 10ap cheaper too I would suggest that either he did the RJW commanders by hand and made a mistake or the calculator has had an update to correct a bug that was prevalent back in 2011.

If you follow the book process and get the same value as the calculator then I'd say that is correct.

Going with lists off the internet that are a) for RJW variant and b) Shedman's and c) off the internet... may be dosdgy Wink
