[Rq-rules] Aiming and attack speed

[Den, Tony T]

Ah, that sounds more familiar. As you can guess, we don't much play the
rule, just use a bit of logic and switch strike ranks etc.

Sounds a bit like the closing rule - if neither side closes then combat
is just attack/parry. If one side closes and the other doesn't back up
then whoever has the longer weapon (fewer SR) looses one either their
attack or parry.

Just 'cause the person with the longer weapon backs up doesn't mean the
person with the shorter weapon doesn't get a hack.

Cheers,

Ash
