It works and provides you with units for the Gruntz rules. But it's way too easy to min/max without much in the way of restrictions, meaning you can build some very unbalanced uber forces. Once you've created your units you can print the resulting cards - but you'll need to fuss and faff to get them neat and same sized to fit on your pages.

Considering you don't get ANY blank unit rosters in the main rules (my print copy had none at all ) this is a 'YOU MUST BUY THIS' if you want to play the game kind of situation. I feel it is wrong to sell what is essentially an 'incomplete' ruleset & then expect the customer to pay again in order to play it.

The builder program itself rates a 3 (it does what it says on the tin OK, regardless of the min/max problem) but the fact it's a must buy add-on (after you already spent on the rules themselves) makes it only a 2 (for me at least).

Works in Linux using WINE. I bought it before I've even played a game of Gruntz just to see.

I rated it 5 stars because it does what it says it should as far as I can tell, but obviously as I'm running it outside of it's native operating environment I'm not getting a "normal experience" so I didn't want to mark it down any.

Ubuntu 14.10 and WINE 1.6.2 installed from repositories.

A very useful product which is essential for the Gruntz rules, and a great tool for preparing games.

I'm very impressed with this product. Simple and elegant. I use it in MAC.

If I find any bugs I'll update the review but so far.. kudos !

The barracks program really speeds up unit creation. The ability to rename weapons and add photos is a nice touch too. There is a few problems with weapons stats being incorrect like the assault missile being AE2 not 4 and being able to assign perks and mods that break the rules, e.g swarm for units with ranged weapons, engineer and medic on the same specialist, two perks or mods of the same type like weapons or mobility etc. but hopefully these issues will be fixed with the next update. I would recommend this product as overall the builder is well laid out and easy to use.
