 I sent you and Matt a response last Friday to resolve our battle but didn't get a response.  Did you not receive it?  I'll copy it below.

Yeah Matt, I wasn’t criticizing your resolver. Frankly it’s great that there is an alternative to fighting it out. Understandably it’s too complicated to try to take into tactics like protecting a set of ships like the freighters. 
I was just noting that it doesn’t make sense for me to choose the resolver vs playing it out if that’s how it would resolve. I stand to lose 45 EP for the scenario plus 60 I won’t gain. Apparently I’ll lose that no matter what without fighting it out so basically I’m trading an SC for for Greg’s SEC and SKA. 
I don’t want to hold everyone up for what is likely to be a very long battle. So if it’s worth it to Greg to gain 45 EP by winning the scenario but lose over 200 EP worth of ships I’ll take the loss of the SC. 
So running the simulator seems the best option. 
Btw Matt at the risk of being a broken record I still can’t save results of non-auto resolved scenarios. Also I never heard back from you about my missing Gorn BC. 
Paul.

Guys can we find out what happens in the auto system? It would be interesting to see what damage is done!

The force Paul stated above is what I am using. The SPA with 2 CENT the SEC scout and SKA

  I'm not understanding how you calculated the BPVs in the scenario.  Perhaps you used his whole fleet which is illegal since there's a 1.5 total move cost max?    

I did. You're right.

Greg? What units are you using in this battle?

  For my side I have: ...         TOTAL              = 458

  He has:  

Romulan SPG+: 120 attack value.
 Romulan SEC (Scout): 73-105 attack value.
 Romulan SEA-sab: 82 attack value.
 Romulan SKA-sab: 104 attack value.
 Romulan SPAm+sab w/ CENs: 241 attack value.

-----------------------

Total: 621

(This is what is assigned to the battle, before forced-retreats)

 Could you give me more details please? 

The resolver is loosely based on F&E's resolution system. As such, it goes through several rounds (which I loosely correlate to SFB turns) where the fleets do damage to each other based on their BPV (and other things). I have taken out most of the back-and-forth choices that the F&E system allows, so things such as which units to damage and directed-damage are handled in an automated fashion.

All in all, I think it works. It's a little more deadly than most game I play: usually it takes a couple of turns for cripples to show up in play, then the whole force leaves. With the resolver, something is crippled or destroyed every round unless there are just one or two ships on both sides.
