A while ago I knocked up a C program to do something like that for Hero Wars.

The program takes parameters for the contestants' abilities and tabulates the possible results in HTML format like this:

(If you just want the numbers, scroll down.)

I'll happily send anybody who asks the source (ANSI C, not VC).

OTOH maybe I should make the proggy able to produce a table with Actor ability along the top, opponent ability down the side, and the chances of the various results in the boxes.....

Oh, and the program was for Hero Wars so doesn't have Bump Downs.

Cheers,
