I was trying to explain Warmaster over the weekend to an interested friend - used this app and the Epic one to explain list building to him a bit!

Great stuff!

Alright, after a couple of false starts the new print UI is up, along with the ability to save how the you want the list printed. Additionally I added the Magic Items (Used) items for printing.

Let me know if anyone runs into any problems.

Great work! Very handy!

Don't know if it's easy to fix but the bretonnian breakpoint is determined by counting the knights only (Knights, Grail Knights and Pegasus Knights).

Greetings,

Special rules and spells added for the experimental armies. Just the fan stuff left to go and then I'll start figuring out how I'm going to tackle the WMA stuff.

Hi Dave

Not sure if easy or not but after playing around with this, do you think the print out for the Stats+List option would be improved if the '#' column was at the start before the 'Troop' names?

Happy with what you have done. Just thought it may make it easier to read when selecting minis for the army just before the battle.

Awesome program either way though. Love you work

Cheers....

Probably my last suggestion would be with the Print option.

Is it easy to enable the 'Print to one Page' option?

At present I select; Stats+List, Special Rules Used, Magic Items Used, Spells, and Army Rules. I then use the browser print options for a Print Preview to knock it down to 70% and then print. That is fine for me, however I understand it may be small for some others. Just wondering whether it was possible for the option to Print all selected option to 1 page.

Thanks again

I can move the # column, although I like it where it is. If more people want it moved to the start though I'll consent. Other alternatives would be putting zebra stripes on the table (easy), or perhaps making the table rows sortable (you drag and drop to the order you want). The latter might be tough though given how clicking on a item removes it from the print preview, not sure I could finagle it and keep the current system.

On the printing, there's not a lot I can do here. Given all the different browsers, paper-sizes and font choices out there it's impossible for me to come up with AND enforce CSS that will have everything print on one page. Like you said, the browser does give you the option and manipulates the content as best it can, that's where this kind of user preference should be taken care of. If people do want it at 100% though the best they can hope for on a couple of these lists is a double sided piece of paper. WM special rules can get long... (see the War Wagon as an example).
