Combat question

[olaf]

Does anyone know the formula for resolving a combat?

The game manual is nice but, if it covers this in detail, I missed it.

Specifically I am wondering how impactful 'first strikes' are, and 'chance to first strike'.

All and more, much more than you ever want to know about combat. Bring something for the headache you will get.

Great, that is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks much!
