With the release of V3 it is time to think about updating my army files to V3. Although not everything is clear yet I can make a start.
Don't rush to the download page to get the new files because there isn't an army file done yet and it can take a while before I have done them all. I have noticed that it will take more time then I thought it would. Also my time to work on the army files has become more limited because of all kind of reasons.
How do you recognize a new army file for V3. Simple behind the name of the file you will see (3v1.0) The 3 is to indicate that the file is for the Version 3 rules. v1.0 is the version number of the file. This last number can change when I change something in the file. So the first time an updated file is uploaded it will have (3v1.0), if I make changes later on this can change to, for example, (3v1.1) or (3v2.0) depending if it is a major change or not.
When updating the files to V3 there will be no more Excel 2007 files. For the simple reason that I can no longer create those files. But this should be not such a big problem because I believe that the new versions of Excel can still handle the old version Excel files.
As soon as an army file is ready for download I will post it here on my blog or you can check if there is an updated army file by clicking on the Files link under the header.
The army files for the Old books like Cobra, D minus 1, Bloody Omaha etc won't be updated to the V3 rules.
At this moment I am not sure what I will do with the V2 army files. Save them all together in 1 folder or simply delete them.
Thanks for reading.

This new version is causing a lot of changes and work to people?
ReplyDeleteIn V3 most are rules updates and new rules but there are also changes for the weapons. For instants medium mortars like the US 81mm Mortar now also have Direct fire. Gun teams may fire as a rifle team instead of firing the gun. A flame-thrower team can, instead of using the flame-thrower, shoot as a rifle team. As I want to keep my army files a little up to date I have to include these stats plus all other changes that are relevant. Of-course you can always use a pencil and paper. ;-)
