That's probably only enough for your label files!I have around four 2tb external drives and a 2TB memory stick too!
The latest version? Has MMP put out an upgrade already?Downloaded the last version of the eASLRB. Olli: Tell me that you have bought a 2 TB external disk to collect all the versions! (by triplicate)
At least two nowThe latest version? Has MMP put out an upgrade already?
I think v1.05 but I may be mistaken.The latest version? Has MMP put out an upgrade already?
Is that an automatic update or does it need to be redownloaded.It is v1.05
As far as I understand the mechanism, those who have purchased the eASLRB at WarGameVault have to sign up for their newsletter - or to be noticed in case of updates. You have to check this for yourself as I haven't purchased it yet.Is that an automatic update or does it need to be redownloaded.
Ah ha. Yeah, I bought it. Didn't realize there were additional steps. Grrr. Thanks for the heads up.As far as I understand the mechanism, those who have purchased the eASLRB at WarGameVault have to sign up for their newsletter - or to be noticed in case of updates.

Then, if the eASLRB has been updated, you will receive an email notification.
After that, you will have to log on to WarGameVault with your account to download it.

Come on, you know you'll start over, because there will be that new LMG counter, or an additional squad type, or one more halftrack counter that just needs to be sorted into the others.I worked more or less the whole day on coming up with the RAACO storage for 'Forgotten War' (Core Module Korea).
Altogether, a s***load of work. But when I am done, then I am up to date with all of MMP's Core Modules. I reckon things will then keep quiet until the release of 'Hollow Legions v3'. The latter will be less work to implement, because it will mainly only necessary to exchange the old with the new counters after clipping the latter. New labels will only be needed for the Ethiopians included.

Can you print color documents? You can buy whole sheet labels, print those, cut them out individually, and apply as needed. This is proper 8.5X11 but I am sure you can find it in some wacky a-size if you look around. -- jimCome on, you know you'll start over, because there will be that new LMG counter, or an additional squad type, or one more halftrack counter that just needs to be sorted into the others.
I'd like to convince you to move to 3D-printed inserts, because I used to copy your setup and print the layout for reference. I have my own 3D printer, but nothing to print color labels
Indeed, it was quite a challenge this time already to keep as close as possible within the limits of my self-imposed system/logic. But on the other hand, for the next years I see no new core modules in the making, so things will be 'under control' since the Italians can be handled.Come on, you know you'll start over, because there will be that new LMG counter, or an additional squad type, or one more halftrack counter that just needs to be sorted into the others.
I am happy to hear that you found my system suitable for your own use before the advent of 3D-printed inserts. That means that my work on this has saved others to go through this tedious effort - a thing which I would have very much liked when I started off.I'd like to convince you to move to 3D-printed inserts, because I used to copy your setup and print the layout for reference.

I use whole sheet labels by Avery of a very similar type: DIN-A-4 plain (Avery Zweckform 3478, 210 x 297mm). The label file is designed to fit on these. For printing, I use a 'standard' ink jet printer. Indeed, then the labels are cut out individually. The most laborious part of all is dividing the 'back piece' from the 'sticky piece' of each label. This involves a quiet hand, an exacto knife, and tweezers - and above all patience while, almost literally, 'splitting hairs'... This is bad for the A78 inserts already (those with 8 compartments). Imagining to have to do that for labels of 1/2" width and less height which would be required for 3D-printed inserts? That would be tortuous!Can you print color documents?

Which is another reason to use a suction tool. Not only does a suction tool make it easier to extract a counter from a small compartment, a suction tool is also far less likely to scratch or otherwise damage a counter (or a label).As of now, I have not seen yet 'optimal' 3D-printed inserts, though: The four corner positions of the 3D-inserts I have seen so far all lack an opening for tweezers to retrieve the counters.

Actually the only printer I have at home is black-and-white (and a laser printer, so I'm not 100% sure it would like labels). Not sure how the printers at work would deal with labels, so I haven't tried.Can you print color documents?

I find myself using tweezers less and less these days, especially on VASL.
