AoArt 7th Century Saxon Army (Shields) page 53

[fuljason72]

Hello,
I am trying to recreate the Army printed on page 53 of the AoArt book, the total of the Army should be 1500pts but it totals @ 1739pts.
I have found I cannot choose many options and the points costs are different to the book, I will put all the different costs and unavaible options in brackets (), i have downloaded all the updates to Arthur.dat file from this forum.
Am I wrong is are these errors with the AoArt book or AB list?
Thanks J

Thanks. This has found a few problems with points allocation. The Atheling appears to be a book problem though. they haven't added the 10pts for The Veteran ability. The total list is 1510pts.

I've attached the updated arthur.dat file.

Cheers

Hi Jay here again,

Ceorls don't have the thrusting spears in AB

Thanks Jay. Mixed up my \"ThS\"'s and \"TS's\". Thrusting spear rather than Throwing spear for Ceorls.

New arthur.dat attached.

This is the latest for your build Raymond.

Cheers

Any chance of giving the units 'Fabricae' options please, similiar to the other army lists.
- \"leader has fabricae\" plus tick box the leader pays for it 15pts, once the box is ticked the unit (Duguth, Geoguth) pay +2 pts for light Armour
cheers
