Hello Borka,
I'll update the list when the lists, we use at tournaments change.
These are usually the tournament pack lists or the compendium lists. Using all from the same source and using the source that's younger.
At the moment the compendium is younger, but it seems to be still WIP. So I wait till the dust settles and update than.

Trying to keep up to date with all the lists all the time is too time consuming.
It would be easier if the list format would be more machine friendly and everybody would use the same format. But there are so many often only minor differences, so that mining the lists is usually only a start. This is no complain, just a description as it is.

It might be worth to think about a kind of database or at least a data entry program,
so that all lists are is a common electronic format, which could be converted to human readable lists (read pdf) automatically and which would offer "structured" data for army list program writers.

As an alternative AGen could allow to include custom lists so that anybody can update the lists. But at the moment I only have untested ideas how to realize this with a Web Based Army generator.

Regards
STephan

have a look at this army generator for flames of war, http://www.easyarmy.com/ it has an excellent army list builder, you can email the list, you can have a sent to tournament organiser option, theres a PDF generator for your list, and the list thasts generated can have unit pick list so you don't forget anything, theres all the stats for firing movement and the units special rules. one of the best things is that the special rules are explained and details included so you don't have to go searching the rulebook to see what they mean.

oh you can save all your lists and theres different list filters too.

your list builder is the best I have seen for epic. ;D

I'm not really able to keep up with all the army changes and some of you asked how to create army lists for their own use.
Because of this I modified AGen, so that you can add your own lists.

Download the zip file from http://brumbaer.de/Epic/AGen/myAGen.zip

In the zip files are all relevant code files and an lengthy pdf describing what to do.
It's the first draft, so there will be typos, badly phrased passages and oversights, but it should get you working. I will refine it using your feedback.

There is also a sample file with the UK Codex Astartes list.

To ease the process there is an additional layer between myAGen and AGen, so I might have overlooked to implement all features. If you miss a feature or have other questions or to give feedback mail (brumbaer@brumbaer.de) or pm me.

Please note that I can not teach you programming. You might be able to create an army list without programming skills, by slavishly following the steps, but it will most likely be very frustrating.
