The Settings tab

What this tab is for

The Settings tab turns extra features on or off and sets up the look and the game rules you use most.

Tap a heading below to open or close it. The page remembers which ones you left open.

When you'd use this tab

Use the Settings tab when:

  • The first time you use the app.
  • You want QR stickers or two-phone sync.
  • Your games use a different clock time or points to win.

Why use the app for this

Doing it by hand works, but the app makes it easier:

  • Extra features stay hidden until you want them, so the app stays simple.
  • You set things once, and every new game uses them.

How to use it, step by step

Try it: turn on QR stickers and set a 45-minute clock.

  1. Open the Settings tab.
  2. Under Optional features, turn on Model QR stickers. Now Scan shows on the Game tab and Sticker sheet shows on the Army tab.
  3. Scroll to Game defaults. Tap − next to Clock minutes each until it says 45.
  4. Go to the Clock tab and tap Reset to use the new time.

Where things are on the screen

The numbers on the pictures match the list under each picture. Gold boxes show where each thing is.

Why it matters in the game

  • Points to win and clock time change how long the game lasts.
  • QR stickers let you scan a model's base to open its sheet right away.

What the words and numbers mean

An extra you can turn on. When it is off, its buttons are hidden.

Tiny printed codes for model bases, 8 to 15 mm, on Letter or A4 paper. Scan one to open that model.
Two-phone sync
Share one game with a phone on the same Wi-Fi, or by QR codes.

Good to know: undo and saving

  • Settings save as soon as you change them.
  • Erase all data can't be undone.
  • Turn off Ask before deleting / resetting only if you are sure. Then resets happen right away.
  • Nothing leaves your phone. The camera is only used to read QR codes.
