New Recruit News

The Leader feature has been slightly simplified.

Previously it would consider the list of possible attached unit in the Leader ability to limit the units that can be attached to a character. This caused many issues because there are too many exceptions, sometimes units are not named directly bur referenced in ambiguous ways (all Battleline Units of...), and some units have the Attached Unit ability which also adds possibilities.

For now, all units that have the Leader ability will be proposed as Leaders for all non Character units. This make sure you will not be prevented from attaching a unit, the downside is that it allows you to make illegal attachments, but it is a good compromise to ensure good functionality for now. If somehow we can build a solid database of all allowed attachment combos, the limited list of available Leaders may come back in the future.

Hi everyone,

Following up on the new Stratagems feature, it is now possible to attach leaders to unit. You can do that from the "Edit Unit" panel, or on the profile view in Play mode.

• It is possible to assign multiple leaders to the same unit, while rules generally prevent it, it would be too complex to only allow it when possible, so it is better to leave the freedom of doing it, it is up to you to know the rules.
• A single character cannot be assigned to more than one unit
• It is only possible to assign characters to units that can actually be led by that character according to the rules.
• When attaching a character, the unit will be moved underneath the character in Play Mode to represent a grouped unit.
• Stratagems of the character will be added to the list of stratagems of the unit while it is attached

Like Stratagems, this feature requires a sub.

New Recruit now has a new supporters only feature for Warhammer 40k: Unit Stratagems

Open any unit, in build mode or play mode, and you can view all the Stratagems that can affect it.

This is the first building block of a Game Assistant feature for Warhammer 40k. The Game Assistant is a work in progress feature for New Recruit supporters. It will help you during games, track objectives, count points, view available stratagems and possibly more as I am gathering ideas.

There is no ETA yet on when this will be available but we're working hard to deliver it as soon as possible!

A BIG thank you to all New Recruit supporters!

Hello everyone,

A new version of the Android Playstore App has been released. This new version works differently. While still web based, it no longer relies on the default web browser installed on your Android, but instead relies on Android's Webview component. It should be more reliable because it does not depend on the browser you selected as default. It should be more reliable in the future and already solves a few minor issues like screen rotation. However the update comes with a few issues:

• If you were using New Recruit without an account, since this new version is basically a new App, your local data may be lost. You may retrieve it by going to https://www.newrecruit.eu/app on your default Android web browser, your data should be there. You can the create an account from here, and log in using the same account in the app.
• Since it is a new App, everyone was basically logged out, and a lot of people did not remember their password, this caused a lot of people to use the LOST PASSWORD feature, and our email provider blocked us as too many emails were sent within a short amount of time and we were using a free plan for emails. We switched to a paid plans and Lost Password emails should now be sent properly.
• We realised a bit late that some functions were broken, typically functions that export or print stuff. This will mostly affect PDF and Pretty exports. We are working on the issue and hope to fix this as soon as possible, proably within a few days.

Thanks everyone for your patience, this caused a few people to send 1 star reviews on Google Play, please if you like New Recruit go to Google Play and give us a good review, this helps a lot!

Hello everyone, here is a quick recap of some new stuff that got added to New Recruit recently.

• New export for lists: Templates. This is a versatile system that let's you export really nice cards for 40k, AOS, and profile tables for all games. It is customizable so you can create your own pretty export formats if you know a bit of HTML.

• New text export for The Old World. The new text export is simplified and looks a lot like the T9A export. It was just adapted to TOW to handle motley crew units that can span over more than 1 line.

• New Scoring System for tournaments. There is a button to activate it in the scoring tab of the tournament admin interface. It allows the creation of versatile scoring systems with any number of point types and tie breakers. Contact me on Discord if you have question about it, I may make a tutorial because it's not that intuitive to use, but feel free to make test tournaments if you want to try it.

• The Ninth Age has been updated to version 3.0. Finally, I got to finish up the new rarity and shooting systems, and fixed most bugs. New Recruit should now be usable again for T9A, sorry it took so long but there was a lot of work involved. I will be fixing bugs reported on Discord or with the in game report tool.

Happy new year everyone,

You may have noticed that New Recruit has been slow lately, sometimes it would be stuck loading for 5-10 seconds, occasionally even more.

But no longer! We optimized the server and things are running a lot more smoothly now, you should notice significant improvement!

Hello everyone,

To ensure the future development of New Recruit, we will be experimenting with ad banners.

We are fully aware that you guys will not like it, we do not want ads to be too intrusive, they should never get into the way of content and will be limited to an ad banner at the bottom of the screen. A little bit of screen space is lost but overall it should not change the way you use New Recruit much.

Of course if you have a subscription, ads are removed, users with a sub should not notice any difference.

Please, post to new-recruit-bug-reports on Discord if you notice anything wrong with the ads like:

• Ads overflowing out of the bottom banner, or overlapping with the (+) button on mobile
• Ads showing even though you have a sub
• Ads showing inappropriate content

Hi everyone,

New Recruit now has a new Seasons system. This make it possible to select a season when creating a tournament or a game in the game assistant. Proper maps and objectives for that season will be used. As of right now, only The 9th Age has support for maps and objectives, but the goal is to extend it to other games (which was impossible before), probably Warhammer 40,000 10th Edition, and The Old World will be next.

Hi everyone!

You may or may not have noticed that New Recruit is now available on Google Playstore.

The app on the store is strictly identical to the web app, it is just a new means to access it.

If you enjoy New Recruit, if you have not done so yet, I would be very grateful if you could send a 5 star review on the Playstore, this would go a long way towards helping us develop New Recruit.

Thank you!!!

Hello everyone,

A pretty big update to New Recruit's User Interface was just released, it changes many things, especially for mobile.

I hope you will like it. Do not hesitate to give feedback on Discord.

On mobile, the change is big, but if you prefer the old style you can go to Menu / Options / General and uncheck "Use the new User Interface for Mobile".

This update also prepares The 9th Age for version 3.0, though the game data has not been updated yet. I expect The 9th age to be update tomorrow, with at least 10 factions ready out of the 16.
