I have got the battle simulator to what I would call an "alpha test" stage. If anyone wants to play with it, PM me with your email address and I'll send you a copy.
As I can't be bothered to write a proper GUI for it at the moment you have to define the battle by creating a text file in the appropriate format (see below).
The program is written in Java so you will need a Java runtime environment (see java.sun.com) but that does mean you don't need to be a Windows user to use it.
