Using Imperial Assault Armies Designer on your Windows PC

First of all, remember that there is an online version of the app, available at https://www.dmborque.eu/swi

But you may want to run the Android version on a Windows PC (for example, if you want to have the app offline).


Well, this is something quite easy to do.
First you need a program that runs on windows and emulates an Android device.
I have tested BlueStacks (http://www.bluestacks.com) and it works really well, but there are other programs too.

- Go to its site and download the executable.
- Install BlueStacks on your PC.
- Now, you will be able to open any .apk file with BluStacks. This will install the Android application on your virtual Android device.
- You can start it. It will be very similar to running an Android device for the first time.

Now, download the Imperial Assault Armies Designer apk (from the link in the Featured Post of this blog, for example) and install it on the BlueStacks "device" (double click on the file you just downloaded should do it).

Now start/go to BlueStacks.

You should have the Imperial Assault Armies Designer application installed. Start it and enjoy!

The app will probably also work in other Android emulators, but I have not tested them.

If you try this, with BlueStacks or any other software, go ahead and share your experience with us!

P.S. I am in no way related to BlueStacks. Try this at your own risk. I will try to help, but I cannot be held responsible if anything goes wrong.

The Configuration screen

Let's take a closer look at the options avilable in the Configuration screen (accessed from the main screen with the [gear] button). First one is the language selection , which is pretty abvious. Just remember to restart the app after modifying this value so all the pages are rewritten with the new language. Next you have a button to edit your Labels . Now some options on options to visualize and print your armies, available command cards... Take a closer look at the Collection Control option. A change in this option will modify visualization when creating an army. Normally, all deployment and command cards are shown in black or white if they are available, or in blue if they are still unreleased. It you activate this option some of the cards will be shown in red . This color means that you don't have enough miniatures or cards in your collection to deploy this army in a tournament. You can manage the content of your collection in the Collection tab.
