This moderator for 1856 uses MS Excel with VBA and YOU MUST ENABLE MACROS to use this file. Unfortunately this file is unusable with the Macintosh version of Excel. This moderator replaces all components of the game except the map and related pieces, and often cuts game time in half as it automates many rules and calculations.

To start press "New Game" button on the first page, throughout the game you interact with this file through buttons and form fields. If an error is found: 1) let me know so I can fix it, 2) you can correct it by directly modifying the data fields on the spreadsheet. I wrote it myself and left the code unprotected, so others may see and modify this file as they wish.
