One thing that gets overlooked here is that Combat at Different Levels (p. B402) is supposed to apply, which benefits the taller fighter, although it is still very unclear to me where you measure (shoulder to shoulder? crown to crown?).

I ran into an interesting problem with this in my DF game, because Dwarves end up getting all of the drawbacks of being short but are still SM 0.
