I will note that enemies not using combat options or defending definitely played squarely to Dun's wheelhouse, really minimizing the issue of his encumbrance and low skill . . . . if enemies aren't going to defend, then you don't need any deceptive, and since they weren't defending,they also didn't go for range -0, All Out Attacks against his face either once he rushed to meet them!

The reach 1,2 of force swords is pretty killer here, if you can get next to someone at reach 1, even if they take a step back away as part of a step and attack they are still at reach 2 and can get them! Convenient!

GURPS cover rules have always annoyed me greatly, so your quick example here has shown more use of cover then has been in games I've run or played in in years
