Create a new sub-rule “Combat” under rule “Skirmishes”:

As a daily action, any Admin (known as the Field Marshall) may Resolve 1 Day of Combat. To do so, the Field Marshall chooses any one previous date (meaning, only dates that have already elapsed) for which there existed an Active Skirmish, and that has not been resolved previously. The Field Marshall must post all the info resulting from the resolution in the Official Post of the chosen Skirmish.

A day of Combat is then resolved by following these Steps:

* Roll XDICEY, where X is the Damage Rating of all the Weapons owned by the Soldiers participating in the Skirmish when they joined it, added together; and Y is the number of Soldiers participating in Combat.
* Reduce the Ammo of each participating Soldier by that Soldier’s Ammo Raiting.
* Reduce the Health of the first listed Enemy Combatant by the Result of the Roll from the first step, and note the remainder of the Roll after subtracting the health from the Combatant. Repeat this step using this remained until the remainder is zero or less.
* For each participating Soldier, Roll DICEX, where X is the Damage Rating of the living Enemy Combatants added together, and reduce the Health of that Soldier by the result of that roll.
