This example is a little more involved than Example One, but still fairly basic - the skills and armor/weapons are a bit improved, and a few additional options are used.
The opponents again face one another in a gladiatorial arena, though this time they are 2 yards apart to begin.
The characters' Basic Speeds are tied, so the higher DX goes first (Zach).
TURN ONE
Zach Red HP: 12
Maneuver: Ready ( mace)
Arthur Green HP: 12
Maneuver: Ready ( broadsword)
TURN TWO
Zach Red HP: 12
Maneuver: Wait, Attack ("I will attack with my mace the first enemy to step into range.")
Arthur Green HP: 12
Maneuver: All-Out Attack (Determined) ( cut, Zach)
Moves forward 2 hexes, turn is immediately interrupted by Zach's "Wait (Attack)" maneuver.
Zach Red HP: 12
Rolls 3d6 against his Axe/Mace skill of 16 and gets 15 - a hit (Arthur is unable to defend, as he is doing an All-Out Attack).
Not using Hit Locations, so all attacks default to the Torso (B369). Zach rolls 2d+1 for damage and gets a total of 7.
Arthur Green HP: 7, Shock: -4
7 points of crushing basic damage to the Torso - 2 DR leaves 5 points of penetrating damage. Arthur's HP are reduced to 7 and he has a shock penalty of -4. He now finishes his interrupted All-Out Attack (Determined).
Arthur Green HP: 7, Shock: -4
Maneuver: All-Out Attack (Determined) ( cut, Zach)
Arthur rolls 3d6 against his effective Broadsword skill of 14 (-4 for Shock, +4 for All-Out Attack (Determined)) and gets 9 - a possible hit.
Zach Red HP: 12
Rolls 3d6 against his Dodge of 8 and gets 12 - he fails to Dodge.
Arthur Green HP: 7, Shock: -4
Rolls 1d+3 for damage and gets a total of 6.
Zach Red HP: 6, Shock: -4
6 points of cutting basic damage to the Torso - 2 DR leaves 4 points of penetrating damage. 4 points x the 1.5 wounding modifier for cutting damage = 6 points of damage. Zach's HP are reduced to 6 and he has a shock penalty of -4.
TURN THREE
Zach Red HP: 6, Shock: -4
Maneuver: Attack ( Arthur)
Rolls 3d6 against his effective Axe/Mace skill of 12 (-4 for Shock) and gets 13 - a miss.
Arthur Green HP: 7
Maneuver: All-Out Attack (Determined) ( cut, Zach)
Rolls 3d6 against his effective Broadsword skill of 18 (+4 for All-Out Attack (Determined)) and gets 11 - a possible hit.
Zach Red HP: 6, Shock: -4
Rolls 3d6 against his Dodge of 8 and gets 10 - he fails to Dodge.
Arthur Green HP: 7
Rolls 1d+3 for damage and gets a total of 5.
Zach Red HP: 2, Shock: -4
5 points of cutting basic damage to the Torso - 2 DR leaves 3 points of penetrating damage. 3 points x the 1.5 wounding modifier for cutting damage = 4.5, rounded down to 4. Zach's HP are reduced to 2 and he again has a shock penalty of -4.
As he now has less than 1/3 his HP, his Move and Dodge are also halved.
TURN FOUR
Zach Red HP: 2, Shock: -4
Maneuver: Attack ( Arthur)
Rolls 3d6 against his effective Axe/Mace skill of 12 (-4 for Shock) and gets 15 - a miss.
Arthur Green HP: 7
Maneuver: All-Out Attack (Double) ( cut, Zach)
Rolls 3d6 twice against his Broadsword skill of 14 and gets 13 and 10 - two possible hits.
Zach Red HP: 2, Shock: -4
Rolls 3d6 twice against his effective Dodge of 4 (1/2 Dodge for having fewer than 1/3 HP) and gets 7 and 11 - he fails to Dodge both times.
Arthur Green HP: 7
Rolls 1d+3 twice for damage and gets totals of 7 and 5.
Zach Red HP: -9, Shock: -4
7 points of cutting basic damage to the Torso - 2 DR leaves 5 points of penetrating damage. 5 points x the 1.5 wounding modifier for cutting damage = 7.5, rounded down to 7 points of damage. Zach's HP are reduced to -5 and he has a shock penalty of -4.
5 points of cutting basic damage to the Torso - 2 DR leaves 3 points of penetrating damage. 3 points x the 1.5 wounding modifier for cutting damage = 4.5, rounded down to 4 points of damage. Zach's HP are further reduced to -9.
TURN FIVE
Zach Red HP: -9, Shock: -4
Maneuver: n/a
As he is below 0 HP, Zach rolls 3d6 against his HT of 10 to avoid falling unconscious and fails with a 12 - he immediately collapses into unconsciousness.
At this point 'combat time' has ended, as Zach is unable to defend himself - Zach can roll against his HT in one hour to see if he awakens (B423).
