Army and Deck Builder?

By dantop83, in Imperial Assault Skirmish

Is there a good Army and Deck builder yet that will actually tell you what the cards do, figure abilities do, etc to aid in building Armies and your Command decks for Skirmish?

There are several good ones for XWing, but I am surprised I can't find a decent one for IA yet. The few I found have no card images or descriptions of text so that doesn't help unless you already know what every card does and abilities are..etc..

While there is not a deck builder there (yet...) all the cards and their stats are listed at iacommand.com under the Database Tab.

Wow that site is great! Awesome resource! Thanks, at least this will work by dumping it into excel for now. :)

Thanks. By the way I am working on a Squad Builder but its on the back burner since I have other projects going on right now.

"You will work on Squad Builder first."

Just getting into IA these past few weeks. Squad builder would be a big help with big events on the horizon. No local skirmish tourny yet. Last night my game store just happen to have 3 different groups of people playing IA. The future of this game is already looking very promising.

That link to the squad builder on BGG is the one I found, but it doesn't explain at all what the cards do or their abilities, it will work assuming you know what every card and figure does beforehand making it fairly unusable.

Unless there's an update and/or I am missing something...

I've been using Vassal to build teams.

You add the card images to it.

Yeah I don't have the time or love necessary to get all the pics working on that thing...otherwise yes I suppose that would work..

Anyone found anything new? I was at least assuming that a true squad builder for the army side would have been ready to go by now. Someone already built a functioning one for Armada...

I wish I knew how to make this thing..I would have done a nice one by now..;( My skills are lacking..

Yes! That works perfect for a squad builder! Well not as many bells and whistles as I'd like and I see some mistakes on cards, but it works pretty well!

Now where can I find all teh command cards?? IA Command has some cards wrong so now I don't even know what some cards do...:/

Jediwars.com has all the deployment cards but not the command cards.

Where are the elusive command cards???

What are you talking about? What command cards are wrong? Nothing has got reported to me.

Edit I just went through all the A&V command cards there were 2 small typos. There were a few errors in the core that got fixed.

No there are a lot of cards missing unless he finally fixed that. JW is more colorful but the other one at least gets updated.

No all deployment cards are there. I wish Shnar had more time to devote to finish it as I would use it all the time.

I was using that site as my go to, until I found the card, Element of Surprise, didn't do what it said it did. So from then on I didn't know if I could trust anything until I got my real cards in the mail.

I see now that Element of Surprise is accurate and so I am sure the other fixes mentioned resolved any other lingering issues. So I guess I will be back to IA Command! Thanks!!! :)

Still wish I could find all these card images at least...squad and deck builder where are you??? lol

Looking at it right now, Jediwars is still missing several deployment cards: Royal Guard(regular&elite), Rebel Trooper(elite), Rebel Saboteur(elite)

Thats what I thought also it has the real images which FFG will have a problem with. I need to make some changes to the iacommand so we can keep the images.

Sorry about that we are looking at adding higher res images but don't the FFG gods to come back at us. There will be command images in some matter higher res than before on iacommand but won't be for a while.

This is awesome!

Impressive. Most impressive.

I would like to see it for battlescribe, so i can also use it offline to make squads.
