Indeed.

exten => wardial,1,NoOp(wardialing: basenum: $(GLOBAL(wardial_base)}; start: ${GLOBAL(wardial_start); end: ${GLOBAL(wardial_end)}
exten => wardial,n,Set(i=${wardial_start})
exten => wardial,n,While($[ $i <= ${GLOBAL(wardial_end)}
exten => wardial,n,Set(num=$[ $(GLOBAL(wardial_base)} + ${i} ])
exten => wardial,n,Dial($${GLOBAL(wardial_trunk)}/${num},10,gH)
exten => wardial,n,EndWhile()

Completely untested. Controlled through globals you can set with e.g
'core set global' in the CLI. 

Badly missing are sanity checks for the value of the variable. And
probably also copy the global wardial_en to a local variable to reduce
the chance of unexpected changes.

It also assumes that the number to dial is an actual number (e.g: has no
'-', 'w', and other nonsense). But then again, you can use SPRINTF to
construct the number (num).

You can add whatever bells and whistles around htat, and implement it in
some 20 other different ways. but it remains something that is not so
complicated to implement with Asterisk.
