thanks heaps! . I am extremely impressed! Didn’t expect it so quickly!
I have never used any of this type of tracking workbook, but I guess in this community it is a regular thing. Is there an instruction form or loom video of a basic usage?
Example instructions
when playing a new game, adjust tab 1 etc etc
when Japan has its turn, first it will use the purchase Japan tab z etc etc.
I am guessing there is something somewhere but hoping for a "keyword"5 to search for to find it?
Thank!!!
hello all, I bought the 1940 2nd edition, PAcific version of the board game to get my 7 year old son away from computers haha!
however now he wants to play it and I am really baffled about how to keep score. i only have about 1-2 hours per week, and barely know how to start.
the IPC tracking etc are hard to keep track of when you only play every other Saturday for 2 hours!
Fasthard @fasthard kindly gave me the BM4_XvsL_GER1_20241001-v1 download with macros, and it is mind blowing!
i am in Australia, East Coast. is there anyone I could ask if I can call or video call or whatsapp to get some tips so I don’t keep disappointing my son? :)
basic questions to get going. eg what does BM4 mean.
how to use an excel tracker, are there instructions?
thanks!
@fasthard said in Keeping Track of IPC:
BM4
hello Fasthard, this is incredible. massive lot of work in this… thanks!
would love some tips on how to get it working. what timezone are you in? are you open to a phonecall/zoom at some point to share screens please?
i am ready green at this… i only have pacific edition currently, the actually manual game with plastic pieces. will the BM4 work?
@kennethofborg thanks heaps, that works. wish there was one for the 1940 2nd edition!
@kennethofborg hello, how do i install this map tool after downloading? it asks me what i want to open the application in, after downloading.
@fasthard hello, the excel looks great!
can the map be somehow used with the excel? how is this?
also, can the numbers be reset to just use with Pacific 1940 2nd edition?
thankS!
Especially want one that can be used with just Pacific Edition 1940 2nd edition please:)
Hello
Is there a good PC Tracker for calculating IPCs /National Production each round by clicking on the map?
the one below, i cannot seem to install, as the application file asks me which program i want to use to open it?
@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?
@barnee sorry to be unclear. My question is: is Infantry considered a “land unit”, and therefore only allowed placement in a territory where there is an industrial complex?
@barnee sorry, another learner question: when mobilizing/placement/Deployment of purchased units, the rules say that land units can only be placed near industrial complexes. Does this include infantry?
Re: Question about damaged carrier and planes landing
Hello
Can a damaged carrier keep attacking in round 2 of the sea battle in an amphibious assault?
The carrier took a hit in the 1st round of sea battle because it had no planes on it.
Can it roll for an attack on round 2?
@Witt that’s fine. In the situation i was in, there isnt much reason to retreat
@Witt many thanks! The printed rules must have some remnants of that older version:) makes sense now
Hello, can a transport defend itself at all? Eg if a battleship attacks a zone that has a cruiser and a transport, if the cruiser sinks on the first round, can the battleship keep on firing? Did the transport (no cargo nor infantry) get to fire a round when the cruiser was still there?
@barnee thanks!
is it just the factories that are added to the points from the territories?
