Thanks very much Craig. I'll get started turning my imaginary company into one on the table!

I have a couple of companies in mind. Here's one I want to work on ...

Pinkertons:

To find the real power in the United States follow the money and look for the rail barons, industrial tycoons and shipping magnates. To further their aims these men hire 'private detectives', the most (in)famous of which are the men of the Pinkerton Detective Agency. These 'detectives' are normally seen to guarding persons or items of value, or occasionally to break up strikes or to 'move on' people living on land required by rail companies. Some of these companies of detectives may be found abroad while performing 'guarding' duties; often as a cover for them to kidnap, kill or steal on behalf of their masters. Some of the detective companies have also been infiltrated by the US Secret Service.

This gives me an alternative to the Wild West Show company, somewhere between Wild Wild West and the Pinkertons in Ripper street, something like the following:

*A couple of Secret Service leaders
*Detectives with pistols/carbines/shotguns
* An engineer (not a Pinkerton, but an employee of the group's employer) - with some useful steam tech
*A tough close combat specialist - possibly a Native American loaded him up with talents to make him into a werewolf type (Reaper do a nice mini with hat and shotgun)

Options include:

*horses OR steam vehicles
*upgrade for marksman with hunting rifle
*upgrade to give one detective dynamite
*upgrade one detective to medic

Thank you for posting the guide, I'm going to see if I can come up with something when I have the book.

I've got a Company builder spreadsheet that I have everything programmed into Craig. I can send it over if you like?

Two of my planned Companies will be 'made up' (Imperial Japanese Diplomatic Corps and the Fist of Doom) and it is great to see that the 'official' way is pretty much the way I was going anyway.

Has anyone made up a Company Roster sheet that the technologically challenged (and lazy) amongst us can print off yet?

Just a sec

Here you go. Made with the assistance of my wife who is an Excel nerd  

The grey columns are for quick reference so you don't have to look up the modifiers of the weapons or armour every time


Hmm, I've attached an Excel file. Can anyone download it?

[Hunter776]

I can't open it--getting a "can't open files in the "data" format error?

Doesn't show as an Excel file when I try to open it. Bunch of gifs and jpegs.

OK everybody, fellow excel nerd here - once you saved it, go to the folder where you saved it and then rename it, remembering to add the suffix '.xlsx', ok?

Pinkertons: >snip<

Hi Bullshot,

As a little teaser at least nine of the new companies in our planned supplement are from the New World. They will include the Secret Service, but not the Pinkertons.

I do like the way you are structuring it though. Any good list needs a range of figure types working together.

Thank you, my good man.
