Amy Builder

...so something else I bought along with the items I mentioned in my last post was a copy of Army Builder:


...I've seen a lot of hate directed at Army Builder & the gamers who use it on various forums, but I got a chance to try it out one night before lars4life & I headed to the FLGS, and it was soooo much easier than building a list from scratch in a spreadsheet - for a n00b like me, anyway.  I'm really looking forward to using to try out a bunch of different lists...

  1. how can someone spread hate against such an awesome tool? At least in our country, almost everybody uses AB, or at least the ones not so lazy who build their lists with anticipation xD

  2. Can't say I'm a fan - but what ever happened to pen and paper?

  3. "Pen and paper" isn't much help when I'm building potential lists from seventeen different units, eleven of which have multiple weapons choices and the other six have several special rules. It's much simpler to be able to switch out options with a click than to hand-write an entirely new list.
