So I was a bit bored on my day off today and decided to actually do something I was planning on.
That said "Air Mercs" game I keep babbling on about has picked up. Instead of just each flight running an independent mission it appears teh GM has thrown a curve ball and we have a full 16 ship scramble to defend Djibouti international (Our varied PMCs are contracted by the Saudis to combat the insurgency in Yemen) as Iran has shown its hand as an ally to the insurgents. Sadly we only got 8 in the air at the moment as the other two flights are still in their last mission and are "delayed" on deck for one reason or another.
Waiting for turns to come around I got bored and played with Excel... The things you can do....
Its just like4-6 >9000 hours in Excel and some manipulating. I look at it as improving my Excel skills...
Anyways...
This is pretty much my Alpha Version:
The stat colors automatically change with the entry of stats as per the system our DM has. And the Fuel Level and Aircraft Status on the Mission Tracker of the 2nd page automatically tells you how much out of 100% you are as you change the Damage Taken and Fuel Burnt entries...
Then I gave it a total upgrade in the Ordnance section when I figured out the Data Validation and VLOOKUP Function... Time consuming but it works!
NEW AND IMPROVED DROP DOWN LOADING FOR QUICKER BOOM-BOOM SELECTION!
So anyone with homebrews, given time and enough info I can whip this and that up for you!
