Warhammer unit simulations: what units actually do on the table
Warhammer unit simulations let me test what a unit actually does instead of arguing about it. I roll each matchup through the full rules up to 500 times, with every assumption stated.

How to read my results
I run simulations under stated assumptions, not tournaments, so none of these numbers is a tournament win rate. My samples range from 10 to 500 trials per matchup, and every table tells you which. I left terrain, magic and characters out on purpose, so the numbers isolate what the unit itself does. My simulation method covers the details.
