[QUOTE="Kax Tuglebend, post: 5077602, member: 16056"] One rather salient point which I don't believe has been made (mea culpa if it has) is that in [B][I]theory [/I][/B]Army Builder allows the purchaser to make files for games which will allow him/her/it to build army lists, however in practice the majority (I wouldn't be surprised if it was 99%) of users do not make their own files, they simply download the pre-made fan ones that Lone Wolf kindly provides a link to on their site.
