They're already listed in an Excel Spreadsheet, so I can easily work that bit in.<br /><br />The only tricky bit is that Excel's random number generator will reset every time you muck with the program, so you'll need to copy and paste the numbers generated to keep 'em from changing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041377480802719591.post-16173808410044281412011-07-03T19:34:51.605-05:002011-07-03T19:34:51.605-05:00Your idea has validity in the context here.

It felt real, as if we were reading daily reports of the units involved. <br /><br />Had you given some thought to automating the casualty counting? <br /><br />Say putting the casualties in an Excel spreadsheet; you can then use the build-in random number generator to roll your dice for you, and then repeat it as necessary until they recover, die or are invalidated out of the service.<br /><br />I guess my concern is that, in simplifying things, you lose the details that make things so enjoyable.<br /><br />Will you continue to treat officers/named characters differently?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
