Hello Daniel,

If you do decide to update the attack tables incrementally, you might also
consider a debug option that would allow you to compare the incremental
tables against the attack tables generated from scratch.

Keep us posted on your progress since I'm considering adding them
myself and I'd be curious how your experience shapes up.

good luck,
