I've been writing a python script which simulates a straight toe-to-toe between two Warhammer units.
It's very much alpha.
But you can run it.

let me know what you think

I only play 40K, are you interested in perhaps moving this to Google App Engine free hosting, make it generic enough to support 40K as well. That way people don't need to download Python and can just try it out online.

Thanks
It's unlikely I'll ever move this to Google App Engine, if I even get round to developing a web app version - sorry.
Right now I'm focusing on a stand-alone Python app with a GUI.

I have thought about 40k compatibility it won't be that difficult.
I began with WHFB because units line up in a nice neat matrix making base contact relatively simple to work out.

I've got a long way to go, to get to the feature set I want but I do plan to make it 40k compatible.
