To successfully attack and proceed to the damage checks the attacker's total must beat the defender's total (noting the interaction below with shield parry bonus):

   * [[Fatigue]] effectively reduces Attack Skill, with every 20 points of Fatigue counting as **-1** Attack Skill. This is less severe than the drop-off for Defence Skill (-1 for every 10 points), however, so both frontlines "fatiguing out" will result in more hits landed on both sides.   * [[Fatigue]] effectively reduces Attack Skill, with every 20 points of Fatigue counting as **-1** Attack Skill.
