Overall feal - combat

[mike_bennett]

At this stage I find it much more difficult to work out what the odds of winning/loosing a particular combat result are:

some shooting first
impact
melee
hit test
cohesion test etc.

I think many wargames like to work out the chances of winning/loosing a situaton before choosing to seak or avoid it. Many may not like the fact that this appears much harder to do now, although not sure how experience/games will overcome this

I think with a few games under your belt you'll be much more confident and I'm sure you'll usknow if you're not
