Could spit back the aftermath of a round in less than a second. Mass number crunching is nothing to a computer. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> You could add/subtract people from the combat, set the general tactical disposition of the units, and soforth. Lots of goodies. I'm surprised nobody has made such a thing for 3E yet. Who needs mass combat rules, when you can resolve combat on a man-to-man level in mass quantities by computer?It was eaten in the great disk crash of '97. Now that I am the proud owner of a 3 TB RAID, this shouldn't be happening much anymore. Damn newfangled cheapass HDs. They just don't make 'em like they used to, I tell you. I have an ancient 20 MB drive....and it still works. These new things, though, they crap out on you in a year or two.</blockquote>
