Hi All,

I've been using this free program for a while to build lists for a range of wargames, as it works very well. I was surprised recently when most of one of my groups of friends hadn't even heard of it, so I have put up a review & screenshots on my website to spread the word:

gravengames.co.uk/battlescribe-roster-editor-review

Is anyone else already using this?

Know how it compares to Easy Army?

I've used to make Kings of War lists & created a basic data file for Hail Caesar.

@Icannard Am I right in saying Easy Army is just for Flames of War? I don't know much about it to be honest.

Okay, I took a look. I'd be interested in creating an army builder for PRIDE OF LIONS, but haven't a clue how to go about it. The formulas for points for a unit are fairly simple, but I can't begin to figure out how to create it into Battlescribe.

@doc mcb – have you already seen these pages:
battlescribe.net/help-gamesystemeditor.html
battlescribe.net/help-catalogueeditor.html
When you install BattleScibe, you can access these features in your start menu.

I've been using it for Warhammer. I like it, just wish it would print out the unit profiles after you built your list. Damn IP Nazi's

Cheers Xin

Anyone used this software for Naps yet?

Hi, I had a look at it, and I really struggled to get my head around the software. It took me ages to work out what order in which to create file types, (opening any one seemed to lock on saving cos another wasn't available, and still had issues, it didn't have instructions as to how to set up one's order of battle within. I struggled even then, to enter any meaningful unit descriptions. So if anyone has the time to post a template vaguely Napoleonic, I might be able to learn from that and make my own.
