v1.5.1 / 1.2 Community Beta
A community comp pack for Warhammer: The Old World (TOW).
Limits unit strength, magic and duplicates by game size, asks every army for a minimum Command Structure, and gives the strongest factions a short table of pool choices that share a small budget. Underperforming armies get extra points to spend, with their units worth fewer victory points in return.
