Sick of having to use pen/paper and dice to keep track of your heroes’ Might, Will, Fate, Wounds and Kills, in addition to also having to work out and monitor your break point and quartered values? Us too! That’s why we created MESBG Tracker. What do I get though? Well, quite simply, you get a really tidy, quick and easy to use way of keeping track of your army’s heroes in battles. Not only that, but it tells you when you’re broken, and when you’re quartered, and how many more casualties you can sustain before you reach each. There’s also a custom tracker for your army too. Use it to track turns, Foresight or Victory Points to name a few. Best of all, your army setup is saved for future use, and your stats can be reset easily – ideal for tournaments. Try it out, and let us know what you think. We really appreciate your feedback and ideas so please don’t hesitate to get in touch. MESBG Tracker provides both monthly and yearly subscription plans, each including a 4-week free trial. Please note that all features shown in the screenshots are available only with a subscription. You can cancel your subscription at any time. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
