I think I will go ahead and create this just now and get it posted in map making tools.

Fill in the blank spaces with data, the blue spaces are formulas, so automatically fill in for you
Data you must enter
Total provinces - Enter the total number of droppable provinces on the map (ie - not neutrals)
Continent - Enter the continent names in this column
Provinces - Enter the number of provinces in the continent in this column
Held - Enter the number of provinces that must be held in order to get the bonus for the continent
The blue column calculates the chances of dropping the continent in a 2p or 3p game

It could probably use a better name but I think I am going to add more stuff to this as I go along so we will just go with it for now.

Thanks Gimil, exactly.

the top section....can that formula be applied to any number of players 2-8, if the table is extended?

I can configure it so that the columns show the chances for n players, shouldn't be too hard. You interested in that?
Unfortunately, I can't see the other files as they are Office 2007 format. I'll be able to check them at work on Thursday though
