Alpha Strike: A Quick-Playing Tactical Miniatures Game

[Paul]

The update wouldn't cause the server to be down. There's an issue, it's WIP.

[nckestrel]

the MUL hasn't been loading for me today. is the update in progress?

Skyhigh had out a note on the front page about the ISP or hosting service changing IP addresses in him this weekend.  It needs some TW to update where the servers are now.

[cavingjan]

DNS settings need to propagate. It affects the MUL, CSO, and the Demo Agents sites. It was announced on Wednesday or Thursday.

[RebelRunner]

Yep, MUL and CSO are both down for me. I hadn't seen any kind of announcement, but then again I'm bad at seeing that sort of thing.

[Welshman]

I'm sure there is an after the calculation QC function considering all the tribulations with BV2.

It was called manual checking. BV2 most often is calculated in the following way:

1- Unit is made using MML. BV is recorded
2- Unit is entered into one of our many spreadsheet programs (we have several for different kinds of units)
3- If 1 and 2 agree, we stamp it "gold"
4- If they don't agree, we run it manually and look at both MML and the sheets for errors
5- We random sample completed lists of units with hand checking to see if we still screwed up.

That's for most units. Some units require more intensive work.

Any update on the conversion count?

Also, is there a way to put multiple mul Quick Strike cards onto a single page, in order to prepare for a game scenario or in my case, a convention?

I took screenshots and then copypastaed the images onto a single text document and printed them. Crude, but effective.

[Weirdo]

Exactly that. Copy, paste the image into a document, and you can then resize them all until the desired number fit on a single page.

I'm pretty sure that SQP (Solaris QuickStrike Printer) is designed to do this

[Weirdo]

First I've heard of this. Part of or similar to SSW, I presume?

[SCC]

Part of the SSW suite, yes. Obviously the data it uses hasn't been updated yet for the AlphaStrike rules and unfortunately I don't use it myself but poking around in it indicates it may take some work to get right

Pardon my ignorance, but when I went into MU to look at a random sample of the AS cards and stats, they all seemed to still say quick strike and had things like special attack damage value (AC, LRM) not included in the base value, which I believe is supposed to be the case for AS. 

Are all the conversions being done and then some sort of update on the website will revise everything all at once?

Just wondering as I am a bit confused.

That is correct.  There will be a mass update when everything is finished.

[Porkins]

Totally awesome.  I am reading over the AS rules right now so s/b finished and ready to play by the time the update is done.

Thanks for your hard work and for responding.

You are a prince.
Even if you do sport the avatar of a mutated Victor.  :D

Are you making fun of my baby?  ;)

[Klat]

Are you making fun of my baby?  ;)

If the Tau Ceti Rangers Lancers hadn't switched to lights and mediums I'd be all over IWM for a mini of that monster. As it stands I'm getting my heavy metal fix from the Lyran Commonwealth now.

It's still the best Victor ever...

[Papabees]

Exactly that. Copy, paste the image into a document, and you can then resize them all until the desired number fit on a single page.

Forgive my ignorance, but when I do this I get the background image but not the stats. How do I capture all of it with "copy".

[Dies Irae]

Use the Printscreen Function of the computer. Then do some minor editing.

That's how I did it.

[Savage Coyote]

Yeah, screen shot :)

[Weirdo]

Thirded. Screenshot the page, use MS Paint or something else to trim down to the border of the card, then paste it into a document. Takes a little bit of time, but I do it every time I'm building an AS force.

[Dies Irae]

On a random note, is there a mistake with the Scimitar LRM Variant? I'm assuming it isn't meant to be a stationary 7 point turret.

Yes.

[Alex Keller]

Hey, the MUL conversion has to be pretty close to being done, right?  O:-)

[Alex Keller]

Ah, busy I see. :)

If we want to use the QS sheets from the MUL, are the Special Abilities for each unit the same?
