Hi Player
Yea, after you lose your capital you can’t collect any dough until it’s liberated.
Keeping Track of IPC

@barnee thanks heaps.
While I’m on a role!!
Keeping track of the national production/IPC at the top of the board… to recalculate them at any time, do you count the numbers territories you possess? And is there a good online calculator to help with this?

Please create new threads for new topics. Thank you.

What i normaly do is using the roundels of the countries and updating it at the end of the turn.
So each new country you capture you place the roundel upside down. Then when you did all your non-combat moves you have an update board phase where you flip the roundels and update the tracker.
This way you dont forget a country and you keep it updated so no need to count all countries individualy. -
@shadowhawk Just got done writing an Android app to keep track of all the IPCs that a Power should get. We got sick and tired and also a waste of time in determining how many IPCs one gets at the end of a turn.

@LewisClark
Nice, still requires manual updating ofcourse same as the ipc tracker.But its less error prone i guess as you cant accidentally shift a roundel on the tracker.
-
@shadowhawk Yes but it is just one click and a confirmation in the app. The database select does all of the work.

Its good to combine with my idea to use roundels to keep track of countries you still need to process in the App.
So you can do that update phase while the active players does his non-combat/placement.When there is a lot of combat going on ( like china vs japan ) i tend to do roll all combat and then update the surivors in the countries. Having a huge stack of dice means i can use the dice to represent surviving units.

@allister I had the same problem about tracking the income. Therefore I created this Excel Table, (this screeenshoted here is only valid for BM). If there is interest I can invest some time to adjust it for OOB or have a look if i can find a former OOB version anywhere on my hard drive.

@fasthard thanks heaps for that!!!

@fasthard hello, how did you go?
-
@allister sorry I wanted to do some new stuff, didn’t find the time and than forgot it…
Here is my up to date BM4 tracker:

If you want to change the territory owner just use the drop down below the territory.
NOs are tracked this way (some NOs do not depend on territories for this reason there are several checkboxes, (political situation, subs present in atlatic, surface warships in med, …)I also found an old OOB version:
