Readme:

Combat Simulator v2 - fixes a bug caught by Archmoo.  Adds a readme (but you already know that by now).

This runs in Java, whuch can be downloaded free from Sun if you don't have it:  
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp

Currently runs from command line only, and models single ship-on-ship combat (no fleets).

Instructions:
To simulate combat between Ship A (12 HP, Attack (5, 1, 2), Defense (0, 0, 3))
and Ship B (17 HP, Attack (3, 9, 9), Defense (2, 2, 2)), you would type:

java Sim   12   5 1 2   0 0 3       17    3 9 9    2 2 2

The spacing is just for clarity; it really doesn't have to be specific.
