AB40k Maintainers

Hey Guys,

I'm wondering how to change the subunit display order. For instance if you have Space Marine Tactical Squad with a Rhino the unit shows up like this

Tactical Squad
----Rhino
----Sergeant

Is there any way to have it display like this:

Tactical Squad
----Sergeant
----Rhino

Thanks for the help. Have a great day.

Anybody?

The "Move Unit within Squad" options are greyed out for me.

Also, is there anyway to up the point value of a list after you've created it? For instance if you start with a 1000 point list, can you change it to be a 1200 point list without starting over?

Yes there is. Goto the roster tab in the control bar (at the top of the window above the army builder screen) Click on the Roster button and the first thing you see is Change Roster Size(click it), change to the amount you want to be limited to. If you want to go to an unlimited list just type in a zero.
Hope this helps!!!

No, you can't swap them around. The "Move Unit within Squad" options are greyed out because the Rhino and Sergeants are not "units" in AB - the Tactical Squad is a "unit" within the "Troops: Tactical Squad" "squad" (the "unit" and "squad" nomenclature in AB3 doesn't quite fit with the 40k concepts of "unit" and "squad" which are equivalent).

The Rhino comes first because AB sorts the subunits alphabetically.

The only way to change the order is to edit the display order for the unit type within the data files. There is a display order field for each option a unit has, and this lets you tweek the order the option show up in when viewing the list. Of course, you need to be comfortable using the ABCreator tool and each time there is an update, you will have to do it again...
