Yep, that link still works. As it looks like it's historical enemy changes, I'll work out how to include it and go from there. I'll fix the mutual errors and clarifications in the main lists, but the other corrections I'll do as an option. I'll get started on the process, but it may take a few weeks before I've got the changes in I'd still check in with Stevie to ensure that I've sent the link to the latest version.🙂

Ah, ok. I misunderstood exactly how that was working. Yes, putting in some verbiage on how it's making matched pairs and what the intended use is would help. What I was hoping for was something along the lines of "I have this list of armies, which ones don't have anyone in their enemies within this list?" It would also help to produce the list of pairs that the process created. That might help a lot making it more obvious what it's doing. I've put some wording together which will go live when I've got it working properly (I'll also be adding a space for names, so hopefully that will make it clearer as well) The missing list of pairs was due to a typo in my code, so that's been fixed, if you use it again it should give you the list of pairs. As to the functionality that you were expecting to see, that is definitely doable, so I'll spend some time working on adding that as well
EDIT: The functionality you were expecting to see has now been added (under "Matched Group Generator") and some wording has been added around the Matched Pair generator, which now should be working mostly correctly, although some work still needs to be done on optimising the output to produce the most possible matches.
Haardrada - where are the corrections to army lists located? And is this corrections to the list contents or just to the historical opponents?
I'm not sure if this is the latest version or if the link will work? Otherwise Stevie is the best person to contact about this. acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:EU:a212fb72-235e-4d12-92bf-bb99ac73058d

I feel like Asia and the New World are chronically under-represented (with a few exceptions). I agree, Most Asian/Steppe armies outside China and India are poorly represented and either don't exist or are only available from overseas or old ranges.This may also be due to lack of knowledge and source information available plus also potency of the army. Noticeable North and Latin American armies and South Asian or Pacific armies are poorly represented....especially in 15mm. Since the loss of Outpost miniatures a huge gap in potential steppe armies are now gone....I myself used some of their figures to represent Chinese and Steppe armies from the Three Kingdoms period right up to the Sung Dynasty....They even had Burmese,Khmer and Siamese ranges plus Steppe and Muslim ranges.Early Samurai and Late Jurchen/Manchurian.Yes Khurasan and Eureka miniatures cover a lot of these ranges but paying the extra import tax can make purchases expensive. Doubtless there are several other ranges worthy of attention and I hope one day most armies can be represented in some way. I wish you luck and every success in your enterprise.🙂

I can set it up to give the option, default will be the published lists. Many thanks ratsmitglied for all your efforts so far, I've quite enjoyed checking out my armies.😁

Will the army list corrections be applied, or will the data remain as published in the purple book?

Just one new army per year I said....
paint up the armies I have to reduce the pile I said....
I've already acquired three new armies since Christmas.....oops scratch that, I've now ordered enough "bits" to produce a morph army that can be used as either Pre-Feudal Scots or Free Cantons German.😆

Today by doing a bit of morphing with my 6mm Italian War figures and my War of the Roses figures I created a Swiss army IV/79C and Burgundian Ordnance army IV/85A. The Burgundians took the L/H option over the artillery or Knights. I played Swiss and my solo system handled the Burgundians. As the title says the Swiss should have kept to making clocks! I was slaughtered 6 elements to nil. shot to pieces by the longbows and then ridden down by the knight elements. Even halberds blown away by cannon fire, So much for the mighty Swiss. No wonder they all became neutral! Unfortunately Cromwell DBA does not cover a few essential qualities the Swiss had over the Burgundians....Quality,ability, training, numbers and almost always complete suprise.Its well known that Pikes are a broken element in DBA 3.0. Funny enough I used to play Late Swiss against Burgundian Ordonnance and Early Burgundians at 1,500 and 2,000 point levels with the WRG 6th and later 7th edition rules and never lost a battle!...Once impetuous nothing was going to stop the avalanche!lol

That's a canny looking fire effect you have going on there!
We did something similar to place on k'od tanks in micro games using cotton wool and poster paints adding dark greys and black to show a little oil in the mix. 💥💥💥

Forgive me if you are already aware of this site and it's facilities. I was just looking for a way to reverse images to produce a flag and found this free site....you can crop and reverse your images which I then sized using a college facility on my smartphone and have happily spent a few hours producing flags for several of my armies.😁 myedit.online/en/photo-editor

Some so-called super glues are anything but.I recommended Loctite super glue ...even better if it is a high viscosity glue for metal on metal....we used to use that stuff on the Intelligent pipeline inspection tools(pigs) we used oil,gas,water etc. at pressures greater than 2 Bar pressure and I don't recall loosing any bits.😁👍

Now I have my Z range Museum Normans/Bretons my next project can continue.I originally wanted to add a III/40d Viking Leidang allied contingent to the IV/13a Medieval Germans and liked the look of the Museum figures and decided to choose them for the foot elements.But when the Museum January sale came along I expanded the allied contingent into the full army at a reasonable cost....Not knowingly I'd triggered a major expansion of my Viking armies as by borrowing the two Blade elements from the Medieval Germans and creating a General element from spare figures I can field a Viking (b) & (c) army as the figures also fit the time period of both the lists.
This has also sorted a dilemma I had for a Viking army I have in my lead pile which I couldn't decide whether it was going to be a 3Bd or 4Bd army.
To cut a long story short I've managed to acquire enough elements to field any of the Viking sub-lists when the armies are completed.....let the painting begin.🙂

Taking advantage of the Museum miniatures sale I've ordered some Normans/Bretons to use in a Viking Leidang III/40d army.😁 A month later I've got my grubby paws on them since they were bought as a Birthday present.Now I've seen them I'm very impressed with the detail....and the difference in scale with the Essex figures I already have is minimal.🙂
