Title: Hasty Defence
Post by: Scarlett on 27 January 2026, 06:57:15 PM
Hi Guys,
My next game is the assault scenario,
I am to be the defender,
which means, as I understand it,
I can choose items from the hasty defence options.
Which I have done, but when I save the list,
these don't come up on my saved PDF file?
Am I doing something wrong?
Phil

A quick fix, is to reduce your Battlegroups points cost in the cakculator manually. The just point up your defense purchases.
If I remember correctly its only your unit costs & BP that matter for the end result.
Cheers

Thanks Mark.
I did hope there was a fix.
As am going to being using the army builder a lot,
which will include defences.
I have tried saving on both PDF and HTML.

A pity that the army builder doesn't see the defence stuff  :(
How should I represent my command bases being 'dug in' points wise?
Pay for a trench or a gun pit?

You can always go to the main body of the rules - all the points cost for the hasty defense options are there.
So if (for example) you want to spend 10% of your points on hasty defense structures (& you are playing a 1,000pt game) you just put 900pts in as your Battlegroup size and then manually buy the 10% of Hasty Defense items.
As they don't count towards the armies breakpoint it is a good alternative solution.

FYI - changing or upgrading the Army Builder is not a 5 minute task, unfortunately. The missing field defenses are a known bit of errata that is on the list for a future upgrade (as we understand it).

Cheers
Mark

Thanks for the advice Mark.
I have done as you suggested.
Sadly, I am a bit over the top on doing things correctly,
having my army list printed out in full,
is one if those things I like to do.
But I will try and not let it give me sleepless nights  :) 
I am sure speedy Will, will have read this post and understand  ;)
