It's another army building suite for hordes/warmachine. I
might have to fiddle with it later on.

I just got into Warmachine a month ago and came across this software. I like it.

I use armies of immoren and have no complaints. Does this one offer anything more than AoI?

Dunno, just thought I'd ask.

I used AoI without complaint until I downloaded TC. TC has some features that I like that AoI does not, such as changing faction and army size on the fly while building your force. I use TC now although AoI is not diminished in my eyes.

I use AoI for a quick and dirty list.

Example: I was told by my regular opponent the other day that we would be doing a 750pt. build next time... within a few minutes, I had gone through half a dozen builds on AoI, and printed them out, whereas for a quick and dirty list, TC almost gives TOO much info.

If I'm thinking of a build, and I'm trying to tweak it down to the very last point, I'll use TC.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for that feedback, Cygnar Runner. I think that
makes me want to try using it.

Anytime bud.

I like how it winnows down the list based on how many
points you have left.

I don't supose yo've got one for 40k?

Army Builder is about the best there is for 40k, though if
you ask in the 40k or General Discussions maybe someone
has a free alternative available (don't know if there are
any).

TC also handles 'models in your collection' so you can quickly build lists out of what you own. Neato feature.

I'm loving the damage grids. Very handy and clean.

AoI will let you "set" an army, if you like. This big thing with TC is that you can not only do that, but as you make lists, it will tell you if you have the piece, etc. TC is also better at giving you an idea as to how much your "Dream Army" is going to cost you.

I have both, and both work on my Vista laptop.

In AoI there is also the collection functionality, which can be used to give info on what models you have, need for a list etc.
