It's funny that you ask this question right now, because I posted my new
attack table generation code just a couple of hours ago. :-)  I don't want
to show you the old code, partly because it is too embarassing to show,
and partly because it is so mind-bogglingly ugly that the memory of having
seen it would probably give you nightmares for the rest of your life.

I have always generated the attack tables from scratch at every node.  The
complexity of updating them incrementally scares me, and those who have tried
usually claim that it is slower than generating them from scratch anyway.
