Is it possible to load your ready made Army(s) onto a new map?

If so how?

Unfortunately no. I've brought this up in a couple of topics but never get a reply. It would be great to be able to use DAG created armies with the scenario builder but it currently can't be done and apparently there is no plan to make it possible. The DAG is strictly a random MP battle feature.

You can of course use the scenario creator to construct an army based on one you created with the DAG, but it is unfortuantely a very tedious proceedure using the XML file.

Well tedious is a subjective term but there is no need to fiddle with the xml files... Just memerorize what your list is (i know what most of my most used list are by heart) or write it down...
When you create a new scenario, most of the graphics types conform to the stats in the dag (except the names) With the new copy and paste functionality in the editor you should be able to slap down two dag lists (of reasonable size) in 10-15 minutes...

What you could do to save time is make a template map with your list and just save as every time you need to bring them into a new fight , make the opposing army and terrain...

It would be nice though to have the option!
