WANTED: FarseerMobile beta testers

Do you play Warhammer 40K? Do you own a Blackberry? If so you might be interested in beta testing FarseerMobile, a new free Blackberry application I've developed for making quick mathhammer calculations. It's simple to use, very fast, and you don't even need to have any mathhammer skills to use it. I plan on having calculations for shooting at infantry, shooting at vehicles, rolled distance moves such as moving through cover etc, and passing or failing moral checks.

So far the beta only includes calculations for shooting at infantry, here is how it works.

Here is what you input,
- Number of shots
- Dice roll needed to hit
- Dice roll needed to wound
- Dice roll needed for target to make an armor / cover / inv save
- Optional dice roll needed for a second save such as FNP or WBB

Here is what it calculates,
- Expected number of unsaved wounds for a single shot
- Expected number of unsaved wounds totaled for all shots
- Probability of the shooting resulting in 0 unsaved wounds
- Probability of the shooting resulting in 1+ unsaved wounds
- Probability of the shooting resulting in 2+ unsaved wounds etc.....

If you are interested in becoming a beta tester just send me an email to benjamin.cauldwell ( at ) gmail.com with the following information,
- Your name
- How long you have been playing 40K and which army do you play the most
- Which model of Blackberry you have

I plan on having a web based version in the future, but I want to focus on the Blackberry version for now since I have one, and it's so portable.

Hope to hear from some eager beta tester soon!
