Creating your own Company for IHMN

[Dewbakuk]

Absotively posilutley old chap!

I'll double check some of the figures and send it over.

Good to know this is here - the first thing I do whenever I get new rules is go 'OK, how can I do it differently?' 

I did think of playing my UNIT: 1891 force as a straight Rifle Company, with Sgt Benton (who has a scratch-built lightning gun, more or less like an Arc Rifle) as a Sapper with a Congreave Rocket Gun instead, but my ne'er-do-wells from the Ministerial Investigations Board and sundry other adventurous types don't really fit any of the profiles terribly well. I'll be poring over the company creation rules with some interest!

Carry on!

A gent after my own heart

I shall look forward to seeing your creations...

[LCpl McDoom]

I can't seem to get the spreadsheet to work - and I have followed Craig's suggestion but I reckon I must be doing something wrong. Is anyone able to help please?

[Mr. Peabody]

I open it up and get a nicely formatted spreadsheet, but it has no formulas attached to any of the cells...

[Dewbakuk]

The request was for a basic roster sheet, so that's what you get

I have a sheet that has all the options programmed in as drop down menu's and a macro that blanks it all again for you. It's currently with Craig and Charles being tested.

[Mr. Peabody]

All good then. 
Was concerned that some formatting had been lost using Open Office to open the .xlsx file.

[Craig]

Charles and I should be finished testing Kate's sheet soon.

It's worth pointing out that we shall be releasing two sheets at the same time - Kate's, which has macro's in it and Aonghus' which does not. This is so you can choose the one that suits you best.

[Dewbakuk]

The Macro can be removed if you want? All it does is blank the sheet for you as it can be annoying to have to reset each drop down option one at a time.

You can have a 'blank' choice in the drop down. You just need one choice to be a '. If this is the first choice in the list the cell will be blank.

Top choice is a blank, but if you've made nine people with skills stats and equipment, that's an awful lot of squares you have to change to blank in each drop down.

I'm with you now. Looking forward to seeing it, save me having to do mine.

Like the notion, but how do you ensure that the custom companies are balanced with the rest of the game?

Playtest?  If really unbalanced, change the company or play against a different one.

Gracias,

And then Playtest as Glenn said. If it's not fun it needs changing.
