PaulCr has made quite a sophisticated battlesim that uses the m-files/f-files.

But to be honest, I find it unbelievable boring to do battlesims with Stars or other tools. Especially since the battle-engine includes, well, let's call it a thrilling randomizing factor.


Checked stars! wiki and the links show that the original PaulCr utility download links are down.

Thankfully stars!wiki has his best util archived.

I agree that battlesim creation is a pain, but with Paul's host file creator, you get an instant battle bed, without a lot of pain/effort if it works well.

I don't see how a publicly available util which uses fairly obtained in-game information, saves grunt labor and time, could be considered unethical.
It would be unethical if others don't know about it, or they seem to have forgotten about it.
Which is why I made this thread Wink
