Hi Cris,

I did NOT simply run everybody 100 times and call it good. I use the thing to run various combos of groups that gives good insight on expected outcomes of various groupings of folks with difrent sets of equipment i.e. 'mixed' units. Skirmishers up front and hvy Inf behind. I'm gonna put this up on my site. It seems I've managed to figure out how to get along with their restrictions (totaly fair as it's free but images cant be bigger than 250k) and can get some Images to show now. So rather than throw alot of results on the list I'll just let you know when it's up. (prob next weekend)

I AM curious about a couple of things though.
Do figures ever Defend?
Will a Spear user Charge?
Is the Melee map used or is the movement abstract i.e. can a spear ever get off a 2 hex jab (or am I thinking AM?)

My thinking here is that there are several weapons that IMHO, while not being so well suited to a arena fight, would fair MUCH better in mass.

anyhoo I didn't want you to think that I just ran the thing once and called it good. It's MUCH more useful than that. Casualitys are gonna be a real mess but this gives me somekinda baseline to use as a starting point.

have a good one,

Jay
