[Pacific 1940] teaching 7rd old son (and learning self) -how do I use Excel Macro from fasthard Bm4 to play boardgame pacific only

@Panther

I came up with this before I used TripleA. TripleA is still vastly superior, but I wanted to share this anyway. It’s still somewhat useful for playing house rules that you cannot otherwise edit easily on TripleA.

As I said, you send the emails to yourself to keep track of it.

As for why do I not do Google Docs instead, I just didn’t do it and didn’t think of it.

I only used the Notes app on the Ipad, which doesn’t really work, and emails.

So perhaps Microsoft Word might be better.

It is very complicated. I do not recommend playing Global 1940 using this. Anything less complicated is manageable, but best to stick with the more simple side.

Thanks for moving it.

I started a private chat with you. If you’re having trouble, click on my profile, press the three dots, and press “continue chat”.

Dear Sirs and Madams,

I’d like to introduce you my Microsoft Excel based IPC calculator/tracker for Axis & Allies Global 1940 2nd. My A&A hommies and I always forget to adjust the territory at any time during the game so I developed this Excel table.

It serves several functions :

track and calculate IPCs with territories and national objectives (few have to be adjusted manual (SZ125, Med, …) [sheet: IPC track]

calculate Purchases per 1 round [sheet: purchase round]

calculate all rounds [sheet: purchase chart])

calculate land and sea battles (my dice colors are 1:=beige, 2:= blue, 3:= red, 4:= yellow, therefore the dice colors)

And here is:

Please don’t hesitate to ask if there are some questions.
Thanks for your feedback!

Where are the two dots? The two little islands left of Borneo are on the map anyways and it’s hard to see if they are darker because of a pen or because of the quality of the picture.

Anyhow: whatever you try to clean it, please try it on the back of the board first. A bit of the artwork of the map is folded over the edge of the board towards the back of it. Better to ruin that bit that the actual top of the board.

Is it possible to play games here on a Mac?  I have been playing since the 80s.  Currently play Global FTF but am wanting to try some online games.

Darn, was hopin it was already done!  Hey, we gotta be first out the door, we don’t want that icky TripleA game showing us up!  We’re Abattlemap!  We’re the best!  (wink)

Let me know if you need anything other than me sitting down to deal with the 2nd edition rules, to help out.  I need to print them out and read them - one day.

My 87 year old Dad, a WW2 veteran still plays using the OOB rules(corrected).  He would very much enjoy an OOB rules version of Triple A for when we all can’t get together for a f-t-f game.  And to practice, too I presume.
