[QUOTE="Kannik, post: 9268581, member: 984"] That could be, I've found that overall setup, whether characters have SFX that are engagement-relevant and interesting, and especially the engagement of the players during the encounter, can make a big difference in the theatre of the mind nature of the conflict. FWIW, we've had some amazing combat encounters within the rules. One of the most memorable hast to be the time one of the raider's leaders pulled their battle standard out of the ground and jumped on a passing dune buggy to attempt to joust/lance one of the characters... who managed to rip a stop sign off the side of the adjacent school bus and use it as a makeshift shield to help defend herself. Later, she herself ended up on another of the raider's buggies while the leader was attacking her using long heavy chains, and she hitches on her defense roll... so as she scrambles to the top of the buggy to get out of the way of the incoming chain, she accidentally steps on the steering wheel as a foot purchase, causing the buggy to swerve (thus causing the attack to miss) but then roll, which damaged her Bow (one of her signature assets, which we stepped down rather than add a new complication). :) [/QUOTE]
