Zenomorph Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Just wondering if anyone is aware of a good and inexpensive org chart software for creating OOB's for CMBN scenarios. I'm surprised how difficult it is to find a decent one. Either they're way too expensive to justify for what I hope is just a hobby (and not an obsession) or they're just too cumbersome. M/S Word has the capability but it's bizarre how tricky it is to use beyond a few boxes. Thanks for any help! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ithikial_AU Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 MS Excel. Yeah excel has quite a bit of power functionality, it's all about how you design the spreadsheet and how easy you make it possible to edit it. Ideally may want to look at MS Access but that's more work on top of the Excel stuff. Sorry work with these programs daily. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenomorph Posted October 28, 2013 Author Share Posted October 28, 2013 Yes. I fairly familiar with Excel. I should have thrown in that I'm fond of the org charts bc they allow easy visualization of what you've got. I'm thinking that simply shading the cells in Excel could help with that tho. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonS Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 The OoB editor that comes with any of the Panzer Campaigns would probably be pretty good. Maybe? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenomorph Posted October 28, 2013 Author Share Posted October 28, 2013 Thx Jon. I haven't bought that yet but was thinking about it. Have you seen his Mapmods project. Simply beautiful. I do own TOAW. Do you know how the two differ? Building OOB's in TOAW seems fairly cumbersome but I haven't taken the time to delve into it much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pak40 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I used to make Org charts with Powerpoint but not for military purposes. I think you'll find it has more functionality than Word. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
