Assuming I wrote the spreadsheet expressions correctly:

				       Defender
	     4		     6		   8		     10
12
4	37.50%	   25.00%     18.75%	 15.00%     12.50%
6	58.33%	   41.67%     31.25%	 25.00%     20.83%
8	68.75%	   56.25%     43.75%	 35.00%     29.17%
10     75.00%	  65.00%     55.00%	45.00%	   37.50%
12     79.17%	  70.83%     62.50%	54.17%	   45.83%

The probability of the attacker's die (down the column) beating the
defender's die (across the row)--
so if A is a 6 and D is a 10, we see that A has a 25% chance of beating
D.

If A has a Quality and Firepower roll, each d6, and needs to beat D's
d10,
then the odds are:
.25 * .25 = 6.25% both beat
.75 * .75 = 56.25% neither beat
1 - (sum of results above) = 37.5% one beats
