Button, Button, Who's Got The Button?

OK, the attack button is now visible on other people's profiles. This isn't active yet because I've only been working on the client code - next up is the server and game code.
The plan is this:
- You can attack another player using your soldiers (it doesn't work without soldiers).
- Doing so takes time, up to 10 seconds for every soldier you have.
- Combat takes place at the end of the time delay, at which point you can attack people again (after reloading the page).
- While attacking, you are undefended.
- While undefended, your recruits act as combatants, otherwise your soldiers do.
- The chance of success is determined by the ratio of each side's combatant strength.
- Recruits have a strength equal to 0.25 times that of a soldier.
- On a success, you steal 10% of the target's gold. On a failure, you steal 2% of the target's gold.
- The attacking force will lose a percentage, rounded down, of their units - 5% on a success, 10% on a failure (edit: excluding the first 10 units).
All of these numbers can be adjusted later, but this is the initial gameplan for combat.
Edit: More aspects that I'd like to ensure are:
- If the server resets (which happens alot) combat still progresses as expected.
- All combat is logged and presented to the player.
- You can only attack one person at a time.
