I'm new to Alpha Strike and really like this http://www.masterunitlist.info/Force/Build but I see it's offline and has been since Feb.  Other than individually copy paste cards into a Word file, what are the alternatives?  Is Army Builder any good?

When will the print thing come back online?  Thanks!

Kind of sort of answered part of my question.

1. Found a reasonable alternative here, although juggling Skill is still a bit cumbersome, it's a nice drag n drop tool.

2. I tried Army Builder and couldn't find much value in it, as I still have to load each unit card manually via copy/paste a URL

I found that only a full license of Army Builder will let you print unit cards via "Save Custom Output..."

Attached is the result.  Very satisfied with Army Builder, money well spent.  Problem solved!

Hey there Stoobert,


Someone pointed your thread out to me.  I just updated the AS Builder on MasterUnitList.info so that it can create the PDF again.  Right now it opens a new tab but then downloads the file.  I'm still playing with it to see if I can get the PDF to just display in the browser rather then force a download.


Sorry for the delay...been trying to fix all the sites that broke with the move to new hosting  :(

I can login to MUL, I don't have an account to begin with.  I can't seem to create an account on MUL.  What's up?

Accounts are only for editing the MUL, and are limited to MUL team members.

it's like the back door to a speakeasy that gets you into the swanky, slightly illegal MUL with bootlegged RATs

You mean the one that lists the Hellstar as available to the first Star League?

It's "Rul3#1"

Just remembered that's not in Herb's sig anymore.  Rule #1 is "whatever works for your game".

You mean something like this: http://masterunitlist.info/Unit/Filter?Name=&HasBV=true&HasBV=false&MinTons=&MaxTons=&MinBV=&MaxBV=&MinIntro=&MaxIntro=&MinCost=&MaxCost=&HasRole=&HasBFAbility=&MinPV=&MaxPV=&Role=None+Selected&Technologies=2&BookAuto=&FactionAuto=&Factions=55&Eras=255
I think there's a bug in the availability code, the IS does not have access to Clan designs in the 4SW

Look at your search criteria:
Production era is the LosTech for those mechs.
They are clan tech.
Lastly, they are IS General. Just in the later eras.

If you were to specify an available era, it might limit the faction search to that era. I think that is how it works. I forget if you can actually limit the faction criteria to a specific era.

Yes, it's the availability era that needs to be selected to limit the faction to a particular era.
