Tabletop Admiral list building site

By werdnaegni, in Star Wars: Legion

Hey everyone, if you play Imperial Assault, you might have used my website for list building.

I started work on a module for Legion, and I think it's ready enough to at least show people and let you all mess around with it.

You can find it here: http://tabletopadmiral.com/legion/

You can create an account (or not), save your lists, edit your lists, and share your lists.
You can also update your collection in your profile, which will matter later, but I haven't made it affect anything yet since we don't know the exact contents of the boxes (as far as I know).
It's got all the images for the cards, which I much prefer over text-only tools.
It's reasonably mobile friendly. Lists definitely get long in this, since (as far as I'm aware) it's 800 points, so it'll inevitably be a little unwieldy on mobile, but hopefully not unmanageable.

As of now, the list building isn't super streamlined (ie you could have 2 darth vaders if you really wanted), but that stuff will be coming soon.

Anyway, hope you all like it, and please hit me with any wishes you might have for it. Hopefully the IA crowd can vouch that I at least try to do a good job of fulfilling requests, though I'm admittedly not a master developer.

If you're feeling generous and appreciate the time and effort that goes into these things and will inevitably go into it going forward, please consider throwing me $1 at my Patreon or maybe a few one-time $ at paypal.me/tabletopadmiral

The "To-do" list

  • Show quantities in the database page when you're looking at the "Packs" tab
  • Get the Command Cards straight so they jive with your collection like the units and upgrades do
  • Implement the rules for command cards in list building
  • Get the site to be https capable (this is proving a real pain with my lack of server knowledge, but I think Chrome is now unhappy with https sites even though mine doesn't ask for anything personal. Oh well, I'll get it soon)

I love this. Thank you!

Any idea when all known units will be completely added?

As soon as I know where to find them, hah. I thought I had them all. Is there a page somewhere that has them? I double checked what I had against the wiki on reddit, but if that's incomplete, let me know where to look. Thanks!

The Airspeeder, AT-ST, and Veers articles have pictures of their cards. Not the best since they are at that funky angle, but it's better than nothing.

Alright, I've added those as well as Veers' command card.

Was hard to read their cost, so let me know if you think that or the upgrade slots are incorrect.

Would it be possible to add checks for the unit mix? Being that you can only take 2 leaders and 6 core for example?

Or perhaps add the icon for the unit types and group them together so that players can get an easy way to check?

This may be handy for mobile users, where you have your army, and expand the core units, then expand the unit to see the upgrades:

Army [total points]

-- Core Units [points on core]

---- Unit 1: Rebel Troopers [72]

--------- Specialist: Z-6 Trooper [22]

--------- Trooper: Rebel Trooper [10]

---- Unit 2: Rebel Troopers [72]

---- Unit 3: Rebel Troopers [72]

---- Unit 4: Rebel Troopers [72]

Yeah, all the list building rules will be accounted for. Collapsing units sounds like a good idea too.

I've added a few things:

  • A restart button (takes you back to faction selection (no page reload or anything))
  • A duplicate unit button
  • A toggle display button next to each unit on your list, so you can collapse them if youre done with them and not have your list take up a million pages

Some of the words are wrong:

on veers it says pilot for upgrade slots which is wrong.

if you could make it so that the lists are more visual like armada warlords that would be nice but thats just my opinion

is there a way for users to add info for cards or is it just you?

I'm liking the look so far, and I'm sure it'll only get better!

:D

Would be more helpful if you told me what it should be, rather than just that it's wrong :)

I don't know what that one is called, but either way you're right that it's not pilot, so I'll just make something up for the time being I guess.

And as far as making it more visual, lists are just so big that I think having any of the card art is going to make for a huge scrolling page (though I guess that's how AW is, too), which to me just doesn't seem useful.
If enough people want it though, I suppose I can make it an option.

And it's just me adding cards. At least in Runewars and IA, there are cards that adjust the list rules and such so some coding is involved. I do add things as soon as they're announced though, almost always the same day.

Thanks, glad you like it.

Giant patreon banner makes it pretty unusable on mobile

Huh? The faction select screen? There should be nothing about patreon after you choose your faction, and the line about patreon is tiny compared to the faction select prompt.

It sounds like something isn't looking like it's supposed to, so if you could send a screenshot, That would be great.

this is what it looks like for me. I click a faction and the prompt goes away. Let me know if that's not what it looks like for you.

I think he may have mistaken the Faction Select for being the banner. The icon you have labeled as "Pilot" for Veers is the same icon on the card "Commanding Presence", spoilt in the Veers article. I think it's some manner of commander-only upgrade but I'm not sure what to call it.

Yeah and on the at-st it has pilot as commanding presence

Yeah that's been changed now. I just called it 'leader' for now.

I just changed the layout so the upgrades show up under the slot you're replacing, so it should be a bit more mobile friendly. Let me know if that causes more problems than it creates.

^several upgrade and command cards you are missing ie "son of skywalker" and vaders commands :)

They're there, you Just have to add like it Vader before they show up

Edit: I lied, a few aren't showing up. I'll look into it tomorrow, thanks

Edited by werdnaegni

Though actually I can't find son of skywalker anywhere.

Edit nevermind. I'm on mobile and didn't realise the command cards were on a different page

Could you tell me which upgrade cards I'm missing? I went through and didn't see any. I added the image for AT-RT Flamethrower but that was all I saw.

I added Son of Skywalker and Implacable.

Thanks

Nice work, I appreciate the effort you've put into this.

A few things that stuck out to me:

It looks like you have the AT-ST listed as 175 points, but I'm pretty sure it should be 195 points.

General Veers is still showing up with two "Pilot" upgrade slots. In the Spanish Rulebook, this upgrade slot was listed as "Mando" which translates as "Command", so while we don't know for certain my recommendation would be to label it as "Command".

I can't tell for certain what the Snowtroopers points cost is, but their T-7 Ion Snowtrooper upgrade is definitely 34 points, so you could probably include that in their specialist upgrades choices if you crop the picture from the news article.

Haha I had the AT-ST at 195, but someone told me it should be 175. It's hard to read. I guess we'll know soon enough.

I fully expect the official upgrade names to change. It was Pilot on the reddit wiki, so I left it, but I'm just going to wait until we get official names before I bother renaming. It won't break any lists or anything.

I'll look into that Ion Snowtrooper and add it. Thanks!

Edit: Added ion snowtrooper. I left out his card image so just the text will show up, since it's hard to read.
