Question re: exporting info from SPMBT

[DRG]

AFAIK there is currently no way to do what you want to do the way you want to do it and I have no idea if generating that kind of report in the game is a coding nightmare or not. Andy would be the best one to answer that but he's away until next week

What the OP suggested is simply not in the design of this game system. It would need a complete rewrite of the code from the ground up.

Hmm, that strikes me as odd, but I guess its all there is. I mean, if the computer can know from round 1 to round 2 what units I have, ammo, strength, etc., how come it cannot dump that info into a file at the end of the game? Anyhow, if it cannot be done, then it cannot be done.

I read your original post as wanting to somehow move units in their current state between several maps "simultaneously". That is definately not in the remit of the game, which is set for one battle on one map at a time. You cannot do the "tabletop Napoleonics" thing of sending a brigade of 15mm Fusileers from your table to your team-mate playing the flanking battle on the table beside you.

As to your above request. A data dump in say CSV could be done, but it would be rather a lot of work for something probably very few people would need, to provide a facility which only end users with Access, Excel or other database or spreadsheet programmes that can import CSV could utilise.
