Hi there Peregrine,
The fight engine will be similar to a "play-by-play" engine of a baseball text sim (like Out of the Park" or the in-game descriptions of a game like Championship Manager, if you've played either of those.
Actually, the true "heart" of the game will be the management interface, not the fight one.
Thanks and I hope you consider getting in on the fun by pre-ordering at $10 off the normal price!
