For those of you who ignore the Announcements forum (you know who you are), I wanted to highlight this enhancement I just rolled out, because I think it's a pretty big deal, and others may opt to utilize the feature it as well. It's a pre-cursor to a Force Builder feature I'll be implementing whereby you can print your units in a force in bulk.

The ability to generate Record Sheets and Alpha Strike cards from the unit listing has been implemented. This means you can generate files in these formats for multiple units at a time, without having to generate them individually from within the readout itself. Users will now see an option at the bottom of the listing to select a format and then generate and download, in bulk, all the units in the listing.

  • Record Sheets can be generated as single sheets delivered in a ZIP file, or merged as one PDF file with all units (for ease of printing).
  • Alpha Strike cards will generate one card per unit and be part of a single PDF file.

A couple things to point out. Unlike individual printing, printing in bulk is limited to registered users. If you want to print in bulk, you must register. Additionally, because generating units in bulk is a resource heavy task, I've imposed a limit of no more then 200 units at a time which can be generated.

I've now become sad that I limited myself from generating all 3,224 canon designs with one click. Time to add a back door...

From the unit search page (www.mordel.net/tro.php?a=v). At the bottom there is a generate option. It's based on the units that are presently in your search. So, if you wanted to generate all the Record Sheets or Alpha Strike cards for one of the newest ilClan Recognition Guides, you can filter on that source, then generate that in one fell swoop.
