I thought they were working on a Mac version...

Seriously, find a (legal, of course. we cannot condone piracy, no matter how non-existent the profit is at this point) copy of Windows XP. You have a Mac, get VMWare Fusion, get Parallels, even use VirtualBox. Army Builder will run just fine.

I have both a pc and a mac so it isn't currently a problem for me, but as Mac's market share rises companies need to realize that they are limiting their own profits by not being on both platforms.

++EDIT++ Obviously the swear filter is one approved by puritans.. 
Dont forget GW did sell an army builder type platform. Problem was you had to buy 2 seperate programs (one imperial one non) and they never updated the dang thing so it was worthless a year after you paid $60 for both programs. Still pretty peeved about that one.

I remember that... I had actually stopped playing 40K at the time and though, "What a great idea, it's such a pain to write these lists up by hand and check the points with a calculator!" It's too bad tehy never supported it, but then we do have AB which is heavily supported and works for quite a variety of games. Now if only Brushfire could get a DAT file... anyone know any code-monkeys?

Army Builder is incompatible with Brushfire's three resource system, and they have no interest in adding support for it.

That won't keep me from waving net-bananas before the noses of code monkeys to convince them to make it so...
