Sorry to get a little off subject, but I always wondered about the use of combat rounds. I always thought that people in a real life and death battle would strike more and faster in the time period of a single round. I've had this explained to me that it's because the opponents are circling each other and looking for an opening. Or it's to only make note of the hits that actually do real damage. ANd I do understand the bookkeeping aspect of it. But every fight I've ever witnessed in real life, the opponents rush right in and throw a successive flurry of hits and hit each other very often. But all the actual fights I've ever seen were fist fights with the purpose of wearing down the opponent to submission--or beyond. I admit, I've never seen true melee combat outside of a martial arts tournament.
I'm not trying to pick on anyone's combat round procedures, but just raising a question that's been bothering me for years. Trif, your combat round homerules look very workable.
Are there any rules in the new BRP book about non-round combat rounds?
