The Waving Flag: Art de la Guerre V4 (ADLG) Tools

Art de la Guerre V4 (ADLG) Tools

Introduction

This page is home to some tools I've written that I hope will be of use to both ADLG players and tournament organisers.

The tools utilise a database I prepared from the latest ADLG V4 lists (published April 2021).

What do they do?

  • Simple search (online): search lists by terrain, period and sub-period. Download results as csv files for posting online.
  • Complex search (Google Sheets): search lists by terrain, date, period and sub-period. Searches can be layered to fine tune lists. Ideal for tournament themes.
  • Format searches (online): prepare saved searches (from both tools) for pasting online etc.
  • List writer (Google Sheets): create and edit a list whilst viewing all the basic list information before printing out a formatted list on paper or as a pdf.

The complex search and list writing tools must be used with Google Sheets because they don't work with Excel or equivalent.

Tools to download

The links below create a copy in your Google Drive:

Tool Version Date
Complex search v4.02.03 17 January, 2026
List writer v4.04.03 07 June 2025

After using the list writer save your list with the "File | Make a copy" command in Sheets.

Limitations

  • Split lists: ADLG lists are compound lists and many needed to be split into sub-lists simple enough for inclusion in the database.
  • Human error: the tools & the database involved a lot of work, manual data entry and some fiendish spreadsheet formulae.

Despite extensive testing, and regular use, there may still be the odd error. If you find any please leave the details in the comments.

Notes

  • 07 Feb, 2026 - all previous versions of these tools have been removed.
  • 09 Jun, 2026 - new online search & formatting tool added.
