There are FTMAP resources available at the FT Computer Core as well as
Excel
spreadsheets for cinematic and vector movement. My spreadsheets
generate
an FTMAP data file for GIF image generation, but as the other
gamemasters have
stated, all dice rolling for weapons attacks and threshold checks are
done
by hand. No completely computer moderated FT gamemaster software exists
at
this time, but given the state of the art for Diplomacy Judge software,
it
could be accomplished.
