My son and I were playing - for money, so this is a serious question, 25 cents is at stake, ya gotta help us out!

Two teams of two figs, one on each side got kacked. The survivor on one side is Tank with chain mail and large shield, mace. The other, Speedy, has just a Main Gauche and a saber, and 5 points of DX on the other guy.

The way I read the rules, Speedy can always Disengage from Tank with no repurcussions. Tank also cannot try and force Hand to Hand conflict on him, nor can he Shield Rush him. And Speedy has a higher MA by 4.

It seemed to me that it was a draw. Tank can never catch Speedy, and Speedy can't risk an exchange of Attacks with someone who can out fight him.

Please let me know if I am missing something.

The only thing I can see that might solve this, IF it is correct, would be to make Shield Rush part of movement not an attack, or drop some of the exceptions to forcing HtH on someone.
