Partial wound to the leg reduces you to 50% Move, I'm at the max tier right before crippling.

We're both suffering -1 to DX and -1 to HT due to FP loss, Basic Speed is calculated by the quartered sum of those, so our Basic Speeds are both down to 5.5 and I think you round down Basic Speed to determine Basic Move.

Right you are... I forgot about that part. Changing the parry from 15 to 13 is still a pass though since I got a 10.

What's wrong with trying to attack yourself? Seems like there should be a way to get that 2nd step without doing a committed attack or getting attacked by someone else.

It's actually not very economical considering you have to pay for the attack, the defense, and the retreat (3AP) which is basically what you'd have to pay for in a committed attack (2 AP for maneuver, 1 for 2nd step) which eliminates the risk of being unable to retreat if the attack fails (unless using rules where you declare and resolve defense prior to resolving attacks)

Where I'm curious is in respect to momentum build-up. If maintaining a previous turn's momentum is free yet you can also freely accelerate from 0 to 1 then there could be a free 1-step acceleration perspective as long as there's no turning.

That's from https://gamingballistic.com/2013/08/...ile-using-las/ I think.

Still going to Evaluate?
