Star Wars Miniatures Battles squad builder?

[Tom Reed]

I have been looking for a squad builder for the old WEG Star Wars miniatures Battles game. So far my search has no found anything. Does anyone know of a squad builder for this game?

[Tom Reed]

I thought that might be the case, but I thought that I'd give it a try. I'll just have to do it the old fashioned way.

Oh, thanks, but I have all of the rulebooks and know how to point out squads. I was just looking for a program that could do it for me and hopefully faster.

If you had a Yahoo mail account, you could join the SWMB Yahoo Group. There's lots of data , pics,  extra rules, and so on. I can remember a Ruleset "third Edit. "made by Swmb fans that includes Many excell builders for anything you need.
Cheers! .

fairly easy to knock up in Excel using Macros I'd wager, I recall having to make something that would do the job as part of a course years back - a system with lots of drop down menus to select each bit you want - that or use VB. Note at this moment in time I am not offering to make it, but if I do ever get around to doing something I'll happily share it. it would be rudimentary and not full of fancy graphics mind you

There is an old threat from another forum that has a link to a '3rd Edition' of the SWMB ruleset. It has adopted all sorted of bits form episodes 1-3 and the EU. http://theminiaturespage.com/boards/msg.mv?id=288671
A big download that has many excel sheets for making squads by side and era. Not a bad resource, however as much of it is taken verbatim form WEB's original; I'm not so sure of it's legitimacy. You'll find the link around 4th December 2012!

I've also attached my own simple generator (using Apple's Pages, I exported a docx but some of the formula may not carry over)

yep. that's the one we're using!
