Which fixes that problem. I agree, I like these rules. We used them last
weekend as well.

Still, I see no need to give any _individual_ figure MORE than 88%
chance
of not losing. So using the above rules, all the advantage a super duper
armed to the teeth close combat terror guy will get is that even 3:1 he
might still be fighting with a d12 vs d6 or somesuch. Sounds quite
horrible to me. The poor sap. ;)
