Abecedar:

I have another battle report to do and have just been put onto “Battle Chronicler” so I can include the maps. I have also never used army builder before but would it be worth it to do the armies on army builder first and then import the armies?

Bloodbeard:

Matter of taste I guess. I really don’t like Army Builder, I use Battle Scribe instead. Cheaper and it doesnøt confuse me.

Looking forward to reading your report.

Abecedar:

I’ve got no taste…everyone knows that.

Can you import Battle Scribe armies into Battle Chronicler?

Totally. Provided you have an AB version (3.x) that BC supports.

I'm assuming you actually want somewhat correct unit measures, points and stuff included.
I'm must admit I'm not sure if it understands base-size and some other stuff though. But yes from my experience it could well save you a lot of headache.

Looks like I’ll have to do that battle report without maps. have been beating my head against a digital brick wall all day.

My samsung tablet isn’t supported by army builder but after a while I found out that it is by Battle Scribe.  So downloaded ‘Scribe’ OK, then found a repository site (phpB B ) that had chaos dwarfs stored and after everything it won’t let me register.  It asks for to put in the URL for the site as a secure question and every variant I’ve tried fails.

Actually I don’t really remember how I got Battle Scribe to work. Got a file from Vogon here at CDO. It’s a .cat file.

Must have somehow imported that into the program. I bought battlescribe on Google Play.

I suggest writing him a PM i it continues to be a problem.

Actually it would seem you do not need to actually register, unless you wish to partake in discussion.
