A Big Ask
I will understand if the answer is a straight no but this goes out to Andy & Don or anybody who has info.
The project set up a spreadsheet with rarity factors as a guide starting with WW2 & release it here.
Any links to refrences or info you have even if not user friendly would be apprecited.
I realise the amount of time you have spent compiling is huge but if I start fresh now it would be years before it came to fruition.
I am guessing many people have bits of info like I do & I would like them to sift through.
E Mail me putting MBT in subject line so you do not get spammed if have info.
Will start with major powers as most played & was thinking of following format ideas welcome.
Thinking use open office as anybody can download free.
Rate rarity on scale of 1-10, 1-15 probably better anything below 10 being the very rare stuff.
Split date into month blocks > easist way as rarity for units varies over time.
Put theatre Tabs > Europe, Eastern Front, N. Africa, Italy/Sicily, Pacific
Sort by > Date, unit type, rarity
Possibly add notes for rare stuff on where used.
This is a mamoth task & it would only be a guide to what is generally available & will not cover infantry. Vehicles, guns, planes possibly.
It will not be able to cover use at specific locations but for rarer stuff could possibly add brief notes as to usage.
The idea is to allow people to buy semi realisticly if they so wish.
Thanks to anybody that sends info in advance.
