Hi there, I’d like to show you my gaming table:

@barnee, @CWO-Marc
Thx for your feedback!

@CWO-Marc
Yes, the monitors help tracking the income during the game. My group and I always forgot to adjust the IPC table at any time during the game, that sucked. Therefore I did this Excel table. Works quite fine now. If anybody is interessted let me know, I’d like to share it.

@barnee
The beer holders are on each side of the table. I don’t like cupholders, because there is only space for one drink ;-) The dagger helps if someone does not want a drink or to declare war to other nations.

@pacifiersboard Thx for playing me. Looking forward learning more from you in the next (hopefully also crazy, maybe a little bit less) game without dicing you… sry :-/

Got some facelift for my gaming table:

In addition there’s a steel panel below the map, needed for the new created flight stands and other magnetic stuff:

Hi there, I also had socket write errors. But I was able to post the turn summary via ‘Post Turn Summary’ when I did this:

• save the game
• leave game
• load saved game
• retype ‘Forum Password’
• start game by forum (‘Play’)
• post turn summary via ‘Post Turn Summary’

Hope this helps!?

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:
AxisAndAllies_GLOBAL_1940_2nd_Initial_20200228.xls

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

Hi there, I’m looking for a BM4 game. I’ve no experience with playing via forum yet but I’m looking forward learning it. Thx

@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.

Hi kennethofborg,
you’re welcome.

I’ve done a global IPC tracker with MS Excel (https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/qj1ukd81mhwvhwu9ajbo3/AxisAndAllies_GLOBAL_1940_2nd_Initial_20200312.xlsm?dl=0&rlkey=ndesbxts7ih1pcqknz2vriu6l), therefore I’ve got some preparation lists I can easily adjust:
BasicCountryListGlobal.txt
There’re all IPCs relevant territories included (also the NO ones without IPC value).

Here are some maps files:

Loooking forward testing the calculator ;-)

Best regards

@WindowWasher yeah, that looks a little bit strange with the purchased ground troups in tokyo waiting for their bus…
Sorry for the dicing in alexandria… struggled a lot to attack there, but I felt I had to, but with a more even result… :-/

Hi there,

I’ve got another question. Following situation:
Russia is at war with Germany, but not with Japan.
UK Pacific is at war with Japan.
Japan attacks Burma with Russian units in it without declaring war to Russia.
Do the Russian units support defending the territory?
If not, what happens to the Russian units, when Japan occupies Burma?
(I now it’s not a special BM question, but due to the 2/4IPC Land lease NO I post it here.)

Thanks is advanced!

HI kennethofborg,

1. The zero value territories are necessary if you want to calculate some of the additional National Objectives.
   e.g. the Soviet Union gains 3 extra IPCs if they occupy an original axis/pro axis territory even if it’s worth zero IPC: Sardinia, Sicily, Italien Somaliland;
   or the United Kingdom Europe gains 5 IPCs if it controls all of they original territories: Alexandria is worth nothing but UKE won’t get the NO’s 5IPCs if they don’t control it.
   But if you only want to calculate the territories IPCs you can delete (or comment for futher versions ;-)) these rows.

2./3. “n” means “neutral”: There are neutral, neutral pro axis and neutral pro allies territories in Global40.

For the insignias: Mr @Tjoek has created some roundels:

Best regards

@Amon-Sul can you please edit the harbour from FIC to Hainan? Thx

@aequitas-et-veritas Chinese territory is clear, but what about UK territories like Burma, India, etc?

@allister thx for your feedback and sorry for the late answer. I adapted my recent BM4 Excel table to Pacific 1940 2nd. The NOs are not updated (checkboxes are unchecked so the NOs are not fullfilled exceppt Japan’s for not being at war) but I think you can use the IPCs tracking for the territories and add the NOs Money manual?

I uploaded the Excel file here:

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact me. I’ll answer more quick than 23 days ;-).

Kind regards Rene

@Amon-Sul edited the british bomber to the territory you wanted to (FCE instead of FEA). Therefore Italy also sent one inf from Algeria via transport to Gibraltar via edit mode.

Any advices?

@allister i adapted the excel to Pac, not totally perfect but ready for your game!

https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/t6ke3kuzrdzkoa9f3fetb/Pac_XvsL_GER1_20241103.xlsm?rlkey=6qc6026314vfmbf46noth8wqr&st=8l2a197o&dl=0

You can change the terr owner via drop down below the territory (European forces will be removed in further versions ;-)).
National objectives will be counted also (just check the checkboxes if the political situation changes). In best case correctly, didn’t found time to check them.
You can also add or subtract in the convoy and capture/rest column. (+convoy will be subtracted)

On the buttom left side there are the calculations (please only edit political situation checkbox and convoy/rest), on button right there you can “store” the IPCs and round.

Have fun and please contact me if you have any questions.
