Is anyone aware of any programs for the Apple Mac that are like Battle Planner?
Mac can now run Windows natively, so I could use Battle Planner, but I don't want to install Windows just for one program.
So if there is any program like it for Mac, that would be awesome.

Heh, I run Parallels just for BattlePlanner. But I don't use it that much anymore, between the Units section, and Click Master on my phone.
Click Master is also available on Mac-- not as slick as the phone version, and not as powerful/flexible as Battleplanner, but free, and quite good.
Dr. Briefcase wrote it, and it can be downloaded here: http://heroclixleague.webs.com/teambuildertools.htm

Much thanks! I'll download it and try it out.

Additional question - do either Battle Planner or Clickmaster allow for the insertion of custom dials?
Thanks in advance.

I've been using ClickMaster, and it's OK. Thanks to the programmer who made it, it's freeware, so I can't really complain.
It's got some really weird glitches though.
My biggest suggestion to the programmer: Add a feature to add images, for figures and cards. That would rock. But either way, I'm happy, it's free, and the programmer made it because he loves the game.
If the programmer is on the Realms, I want to say thank you.

I use the OpenHC maintained by Crow, personally.

...and that looks to be the program that I'll be using to do exactly what I needed. Thanks!

I tried Clickmaster, but couldn't come to grip with its lack of features.
I'm still sticking with Battleplanner, which I run on Windows and in Linux through WINE.
Clickmaster does run natively in Linux through Java, but...
I just can't commit to re-inputting my inventory. :(

Hrm, now if I can just get it to run in Ubuntu...

After further use of Clickmaster, it has some serious glitches. It doesn't save your Haves correctly, and marks your Wants as Haves and vice versa, and has many other bugs, some serious, some just annoying. I've given up on it, and would not recommend it in its current version.

I would love to hear about the bugs you've found. Are these problems on the mac? I'm working on the desktop code, so I can certainly address any specific issues you're having.
