It may not be a perfect mechanism to represent close-combat, but
it is a good one. When you charge an ememy who is dug or in cover, you
want to attack with a minimum of 2-1 odds. And sometimes, you suffer
just
plain 'ole bad luck... :)
I've had assaults go awry with what seemed to me to be great
odds.
I've also seen *stupid* assaults work. In the end, I think the
close-assault system works. And all me army buddies love it! <shudder>
Laterish!
