Campaign History Logs on Excel

Mark_Ezra · Post by **Mark_Ezra** » Thu May 18, 2000 9:43 pm

In the old SP-1 days many guys put together spread sheets to track the progress/changes in your units through the "Long Campaign" I know I made (by hand) a little form that I used that kept track of each unit and (sob) their replacements. I kept track of exp, moral, promotions, KIA's, and equipment upgrades for each scenario of the Long Campaign. I named by boys and their units...really got into it. Now that the Long Campaign is back is someone versed in Excel spread sheet formating willing to put up a form that would fit on standard 8 1/2 by 11 paper? I'd be glad to help with the particulars, I'm just all thumbs w/Excel!

I'll give it a shot. I have Excel here at work. Tell me what you need, and I'll see what I can do.

Thanks, Seth. I suggest we do this by private E-Mail. Mine is listed in my profile
but here it is...MChoodle@home.com I work from home and have Excel '97. I will work on this this afternoon. You'll need to contact me with the Email address you wish to use. If anybody else has ideas or wishes please just post them or E-mail me.

Thanks again, Seth

I'd like to see those too, Daniel. If someone does up a sheet in Excel, I'd like to offer that on the Raider site.

You will, of course, get credit for your work. Let me know, please...WB

Hi Daniel...Did get them and I sent a copy on to Seth. I've suggested some changes. If you have any thoughts on SPWAW format changes please Email me.

If any of you Old Sp1 players know the name of the guy who produced the Long Campaign doc that we are working from please let us know. His excellent work deserves recognition and credit The original doc was titled...Campdocs.....and came as a zip file with both word and excel included.

Oops!

i made the campdocs.zip for sending the documents to you and Wild Bill. The docs and excel sheets were laying lose on my hardrive. I dont now if it's the same person that has done all of them. My memory of 1996 is a little bit foggy

Yes, a big thanks to all those people who's work we can enjoy even today, even if we dont now who they are. Mark i will do a little digging to try and find out who have made the forms, i think some of it might still be at Grognard. I'll let you know.

Btw i have some of the faq's, weapons forms, chats, strategy guides and old scen if you are interested. Maybe we should ask Wild Bill to publish some golden oldies on Raiders or SPArsenal.

Daniel...A fine idea...I expect there will be some interest in FAQs as they can relate to SPWAW...and Bill's the guy to talk to.

Do you guys think we could have some kind of referance for the amounts of special rounds that our vehicles can carry, like the HEAT and APCR? Looks like the team would like to add it, but may be awhile.

Hi Pack Rat: The goal for this set of docs is to indentify and chart the progress of the indivial units Experience, Morale, Rally, Kills, Rank, ect. We are attemping to create an easy to chart graph to follow the growth of green troops to elite fighting machines....or, of course, the replacements for the units I just had wiped out! LOL

Mark_Ezra · Post by **Mark_Ezra** » Sat May 20, 2000 6:43 pm

Daniel: 21 Gigs and full?...I've got to really laugh...Before I got my new P3/500/13Gig machine I had my trusty 486 with UNDER 1 Gig available. Large files to me were 60 megs DL of SPWW2...! I constantly deleted things.
