Dust Warfare - Force Builder

[Maine]

UPDATE: Now part of Dust-War.com! The new URL is http://builder.dust-war.com/ . The old URL will continue to work if you have saved/shared lists.

While the rules for making a Dust army are easy, the way Platoons are built - with a subset of choices for each section - makes it awkward to mess around with tweaking lists - especially when planning what models to buy!

Dust Warfare Force Builder is a JavaScript-driven webpage which makes it easier to create lists, and output them in useful format.

Try it now at http://builder.dust-war.com/

It should work on all platforms and standard browsers, including mobile devices.

I plan to add a couple additional features - mainly a 'link' feature that encodes your entire army choice into the URL and can be shared/bookmarked/etc. It's as good (or better) than a 'save/load' feature!

Feedback is welcome, I will also be monitoring this FFG forum thread (http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_foros_discusion.asp?efid=253&efcid=6&efidt=669338&efpag=2#669786).

Looks like you beat me to posting the link, but I'm glad you posted it so you can get direct praise! Yey! Maine. Thanks again for the hard work.

This App is great, I encourage everyone to use it.

I've got to give you kudos.

I've lost a bit of time at the office the past few days.

Revision 3 went up last night with better warning support, and some bugfixes surrounding upgrades.

Revision 4 went up last night - better error feedback, option to disable hero/platoon limits (for sandbox building), and force and platoon level notes.

Revision 5 is up.


"Link to this Force" link added. Use this to easily share or save your armies. I'll try my best to make sure links continue to work with future revisions.
Code cleanup and performance improvement.


For example, here is my 300 pt Allies force. (http://dust.mainecoon.net/#EFcJOPSVgzmbsorty046+/A)

Version 7 is up:

- SSU and other new units from Operation Zverograd has been added.

- A Clear button has been added to quickly reset the army list (for mobile devices).

- Links to donate to Snow Leopard Trust (or to show appreciation directly to me) have been added.

Version 8 is up, fixes a bunch of bugs that were reported overnight.

Once again thanks for all your hard work and effort. I use this constantly when playing or just building lists.

Big PROPS on the Force Builder and Dust-War.com - both are invaluable resources.

Keep up the great work, it is much appreciated.
