Chart of the Expected Reinforcements

Post by popejohnpaul »

Do any of you guys do something like this? Just to give me an idea where the expected reinforcements for the very next turn I did this cut and paste thingie. It's somewhat helpful. My next project is to do something similar for the entire list. Maybe in my next lifetime.....

Because I'm an Excel fanboy, I entered the X and Y co-ordinates of all my backed-up reinforcements (i.e. units where arrival was delayed because the hex is in enemy hands) and then used Countifs and conditional formatting to auto generate this map. If you squint, you can see the actual number of units due in each hex, e.g. 3 in Omaha
