Have you ever had the pain of having to recreate your Bloomilk squads in Vassal just to save them for a rainy day, forget their name, then had to hurriedly make them again while your opponent patiently waits? Worry no longer, since I have made a one click extension that reads the squad on your page and then effortlessly ports it to a file that Vassal can open as a squad (.txt). This includes automatic naming based on squad name, and even takes Rapport in to account so that you no longer have to manually set points again  All you need to do is download it. Then whenever you open a page with a squad in it, a button will appear in the bottom corner of your screen that says "DOWNLOAD VASSAL FILE". Click that and the file will download perfectly, nothing else needed (hopefully) This extension is available on the chrome web store at this link: DOWNLOAD HERE
Please bloomail me with any bugs or questions you have  ps since it is the first version I am sure there will be many bugs, but I have tested it on a few of my squads with different dependencies and it all worked correctly. If you do want to report a bug, just send me the link to the squad page it bugged out on. Also lots of the characters listed in Vassal are spelt incorrectly, so the converter chokes up and ignores that character. This may be fixed but haven't tested it yet

WHAT?!?!?!?!?!??   Dude, wow! That's awesome! Seriously, this is brilliant. I'd heard that this kind of thing was possible and I've tried to make it happen at various points in the past, but to no avail. But I've just checked it and it works! (I'm using it on the Brave browser and it works just fine.) Thank you, Anthony! You get my vote for MVP 2026. EDIT: For clarification, it takes Rapport into account for the pieces that Bloomilk adjusts for Rapport. So with the BX Spotter & BX Sniper rapport (for whom BM calculates Rapport), they will come in at the proper adjusted cost...but for the Elite Republic Commandos (for whom BM doesn't calculate Rapport) you will still need to manually adjust the Cost for Rapport. Whatever a piece's Cost is on your squad list is what the piece's Cost will be in your .txt file.

This is amazing! It'll save me so much time uploading J's squads!

A few bugs I have noticed so far:
- Han Solo In Carbonite does not get loaded, and squads with him have the wrong title.
- Sometimes the comments get included in the character list, which doesn't add a new character, but it does mean the file will not be named correctly (there could be a specific reason for this).
Please tell me any more. Also if you have any idea for extra features please say

I've checked Han in Carbonite on Vassal, and it's spelled the same as it is on the Bloomilk squadbuilder. Is the problem perhaps arising because of the "??" in place of his Cost? This is the only character with non-numbers in his Cost indicator.

oh yeah it's because of the cost 100%. I have fixed this in 1.1. Also, when the extension can't find the name for a character (because it's named wrong in either bloomilk or vassal) it instead searches for the closest match within reason so incorrectly named characters shouldn't be a problem anymore.
